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.
还可以，剧本没有很飞略失望，主要探讨的内容有点老生常谈，而且比较浅，真的就是“why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? ”似乎更像是上代人的回溯，不过艾玛的角色也让我对处于中年又为人父母的女性有了一丢丢新的认识，一种紧张与焦虑。男主眼睛蛮好看，这种水准的服务还要啥心理咨询啊。
勉强3分多一分都不行，所有分数都给大胆追求性爱和快感的立意，并且，这样的男孩有谁不想点！
目前看到一半，就已经为这个男的留下泪水，我想挣钱，我也想和他做爱！
#R# 4.0分。我其实观看时，哪怕是那次爆发后，觉得Leo Grande的服务更像是一个机器人，而“性圣人”的可贵之处也许是在于表达上的，他不仅给予了笨拙的Nancy探索的空间，也给予我们观察/倾听Nancy的空间。但是这种几乎迷幻的“平等关系”（还是通过购买和“机器人”式的塑造实现的，而且在Leo被激怒那一刻也依然让人如此不安），与其说是真实、或者退一步说是教科书，不如说是在给未来的模范式性爱机器人一本操作手册；一想到如此，就挺失落的。
室内戏，这就很考验演技。艾玛·汤普森，你大娘永远是你大娘。
+ 转入人际的部分似乎回归英语片传统，部分消解了里奥所处的现实；关于工作和自我的部分亦显断裂。不论如何，关于身体和性 感的部分便已足够好——只是，为何要以最终实现的方式结局呢
万万没想到，我可以津津有味的听两个人在那儿对话一个半小时而全程无倍速
有些让人唏嘘的是女人买鸭都要做五十分钟顾左右而言他的心理建设，而男人可能五分钟就能提裤走人。第一次看到拍的如此干净纯粹的关于性的故事，虽然中间小鸭讲自己与母亲关系时有些老套，但它的确跳出了传统嫖客与妓之间被定义的关系，发展出了一种与肉体有关的友情。
挺可爱的，我愿称之为“成人童话”。讨论其现实可操作性没有意义，重要的是我们鲜少（几乎不）能在公共领域里看到中老年女性的爱欲话题，在“慕青”时代里，艾玛老师贡献了老年女性最有魅力、最动人的高潮微笑。
剧本很精彩，越是简单场景越难拍，整个过循序渐进很流畅，两个人之间的互动也很好看。
这场披着性爱包裹的温柔疗愈，绝对是年度最省钱的好剧本，三个场景配合台词与男主可观的肉体，直接解决了一切！艾玛汤普森真的太敬业了！
“Good luck to you.”两人的聊天竟然没有快进 不用拉窗帘吗 地毯不脏吗（关注点错
从becky开始 我就狂笑 一直到im glad you“came” 最后居然哭了 看着emma Thompson抚摸自己的身体 欣慰的一笑。
Oh, yes, he's like a woman-friendly gay~
几十年只跟一个男人做爱，等丈夫死了才有机会尝试不同的性爱方式，买春还担心自己的身体让对方失望……哪个男人会担心自己稀疏的头发、肥硕的肚皮让女人作呕，他们通常只自觉才华横溢、高大威猛，哪怕是虚张声势。而女人对自己的审视却无比严苛，无论年纪几何都不满意自己的样貌、身材。女主探问男主真实姓名那一段让人感动，女性天生更关心心灵、情感，哪怕在短暂的交往中也盼望联结——这是人之为人的珍贵品质。结尾女主终于能用欣赏的眼光打量自己的裸体，真是莫大的解放。每个女人都有权享受快乐，都应该像讨好男人一样取悦自己。最后，我喜欢女导演拍的性爱场面，不刻意暴露人的身体，也不为性而性，而是点到为止，尊重而非盘剥演员的身体。想想那些粗暴践踏演员身心的男性电影艺术家吧，文明、善良与否，高下立现。
go find your own pleasure and chase it without shame!
设定很新颖，立意很进步，但是故事极其俗套，除了两人很养眼其他真没啥看的。想到也是有点禁忌两人相遇互相救赎的电影，超脱就要深刻一百倍
首先我要说说我自己的个人“偏见”：因为自己很讨厌越界的人。所以Emma越界行为让我很不舒服，所以或多或少会影响第三幕主题升华时的情绪——因为这一幕在我看来根本就是强行堆砌的；其次再说回电影，这是一部女性导演试图探讨女性的电影，由于主题太过明显了，所以前面在“男性在拯救女性”的段落之后，必然有一处反转，最后两人和解这样的套路，同时也在强调人与人之间的情感链接，这体现了女性的一种特质。而艾玛·汤普森真诚的表演，以及最后的通过自慰达到高潮，也为这部电影拥有了一个强有力的收尾。 / 2022.7.19 公司
通过和男妓几次金钱交易，来探讨性，情感，甚至亲情，从而解放自己，与过去和解？老外的脑洞真不错，借着这样一段畸形的关系来讲述这样的问题是不是有点太不合适了。别的不说，性工作合法化这话一出来，彻底没兴趣看了，3倍速拉完，完全无感，还有点恶心
三星半//虽然一切老套得就像Nancy三十几年的婚姻生活 也美妙得像虚假的童话故事 但确实有一些怪异的女性幻想 想象通过阴道走近灵魂 而大部分时刻男性也总试图告知她们性与爱的分离或者说是灵与肉的分离//当女性的精神和肉体都足够放松时 不再以挑剔以批判以审视的目光凝视自己时 性高潮不期而至 “男根虽好 我手更巧”这是苏菲科臣斯基的名言（。//sex saint在电影里好真实 不仅带来极致的生理愉悦 也带来相对的精神放松 年轻又美好的肉体 精准又安慰的话语和抚摸 在肉体按摩的同时外带心理疏导 啧啧啧 理想世界真好 合同的结束是wish you good luck
