David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
从不同进度看感受不太一样，像我一开始真正认真看是从中段开始，会觉得“后段反派太坏，女主很惨，好绝望的感觉。结局好样的！”但当我从头开始看，又会觉得“女主是惨但也不值得可怜，结局太扯”。最后结论：所有偷窥者都不值得同情。
This one is quite a mix of thrills and spills and twists and turns. The moral of this movie: don’t invest too much in other people’s lives because grass isn’t always greener on the other side and sometimes the other side might claim your life. And always pull the damn curtains!
65/100 非常可惜，质感/配乐/立意均上乘，控诉的语气已经相当强烈，有诸多可以孕育电影高光时刻的幕，但扁平地表述和浮于表面地探索使其一切的优势都归于暗淡
很喜欢女主的床戏，肯定不是真的，表演真的好看
又是一部静帧比正片精彩的电影，视听优秀，问题在故事。主题的过分先行导致的人物凝滞，能猜到若是让创作者写一篇控诉父权社会对女性精神层面的规训与压迫的命题作文一定洋洋洒洒，但落实到故事层面就不是那么回事了。“被指认为女巫”为核心概念的女性题材并不少见，可在此片中不管是人物还是情节并未看到更多在此基础上的创新，唯一的创新大概是双女主戏最终护士代替女主留在了精神病院的结局，但前面的双女主的人物关系的悬浮感让最后的反转失掉了可信度。而悬浮感则来源于女主，人物本身迟滞不前，没有人物弧光，好像情节的发展并未对她有什么影响，她自始至终都是一个见谁都说自己能看到鬼魂的正常人：我明白创作者想藉由女主之口完成对于鬼神的思辨命题，但深挖人物会发现她不真实，更不符合生活逻辑。女主和画面都很美，但可惜我没有法式滤镜。
离谱，前半部分我一直以为女主喜欢的是茱莉亚😥
算是借鉴到了《后窗》和《登堂入室》，想要表达的主题其实很贴近当下社会，在对别人的生活津津乐道的时候，有没有想过对自己的意义在哪里？只是没有一个角色讨喜，确实真真切切地展现出了人性的黑暗面。而最终的复仇也没能达到观众期待的高潮，其实反转还挺容易猜到的。
看到圣母就是神迹，看到鬼魂就是疯子？还是控诉男性权威，探讨疯的界限，还有老调重弹自由的价值，舞会整场戏在高调的音乐下非常出彩，但是结尾我没看懂，一换一的意义在于什么？其他悲惨女性就不管不顾了？女主要如何面对出去后的世界？没做成双女主的情感基础，也差了一口气
很久没看到把惊悚和情色结合得如此有水准的电影了。除了最后的收尾太过于扯之外，整体观感相当不错。
【黑米影库】该片最大的亮点在于：极强的代入感和女主傲人的身材了，虽然谈不上惊喜，但至少我看爽了！
后半段的反转有点意料之中，多一星打给敢脱的女主
从不同进度看感受不太一样，像我一开始真正认真看是从中段开始，会觉得“后段反派太坏，女主很惨，好绝望的感觉。结局好样的！”但当我从头开始看，又会觉得“女主是惨但也不值得可怜，结局太扯”。最后结论：所有偷窥者都不值得同情。
前面一个小时觉得女主好讨厌，后面的反转其实有点俗，但结局我还蛮喜欢的
结尾没有那个复仇的反转，可以再加一星，会更值得反思。导演选角没问题，西德尼和刘承羽都有说服力。
本可以拍成寓言，却搞成了犯罪。但还是要给4颗星，偷窥是会上瘾的。
(1:21:37开始正片)
依然是对演员的驾驭远胜于对摄影机的把控 通灵的变焦真的存在“幽灵”吗？护士和病人对峙的正反打又是否勾勒出女性之间或惶惑或坚定的“凝视”？抑或只是几组概念“文明—疯癫”“禁闭—自由”“规训—反抗”“神祉—鬼魅”的教条主义二元化编织？运动与情绪的普遍性匮乏之下 我们又该如何在当下重构这场只有裸露没有“身体”的舞会？
尺度挺大，床上动作戏挺引人的，节奏也比较快。看的时候知道肯定有反转，所以一直在等那个节点来，可惜的是主创把这个点埋的过于靠后了，女主都献身了，我还以为她有备而去的，结果真的只是被诱惑了。最后结尾复仇有点快，有点草率了，稍微有点烂尾了，意犹未尽的感觉
妳將看到內心深處的靈魂
新时代伊索寓言。
