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.
韩国电影真是民众心头的解毒剂，相信良心的力量而不是House的力量，可是这些演员全程糟糕的演技，让我看的真的好累。
多么令人心碎的一个故事，多么令人感动的一个故事
韩国拍这种题材（真实改编）已经轻车熟路了，每次看完都会震撼到。女主演技稍微用力，其他人都挺自然的。
有点刻意了最后的反转，不过棒子国真是一群混谈啊
金相庆饰演因不明的肺部疾病而失去了妻子，儿子的生命也受到威胁的外科医生“郑泰浩”，徐英姬饰演他的妻子“韩吉珠”，李先彬饰演曾经在地方检察院担任检察官，但因为姐姐吉珠的死亡成为律师的“韩英珠”，尹京浩饰演加湿器杀菌剂制药公司的科长“徐宇植”。
就算是反转性的结局也同样难言精彩，节奏和角色设计太过公式化，同类型影片论细节和人物塑造比不上《黑水》，论影片张力又比《辩护人》差了好几个档次。
好題材拍得一塌糊塗。不是裡頭多唱歌就叫歌舞劇的，還不如拍普通劇情片呢
电影本身不行，剧情也不吸引人。一星多给最后的镜头。
事实改编，却不及事实震撼，绝望感没有推向极致。
韩国人真的是太擅长拍这类的电影了。
是我最喜欢的音乐剧，看一次哭一次，you will be found是公认的好哭。而waving through a window的第一句，I've learned to slam on the brake，before I even turn the key，第一次听的时候就狠狠戳中了我，感觉像自己曾经的写照，人生中总有时候，胆怯自闭、孤独迷失、茫然无措，拼命向外界呼救，但好像无论喊得多么大声，在别人听来都是如同耳语，无法被人察觉，无法被人拯救。并非没有人爱你，但痛苦可能恰恰是爱带来的，痛苦的人无法与外界用爱产生连接，“you will be found”在某些时候可能仅仅是绝望的自我宽慰。但这些都会过去的，就像普希金说的，忧郁的日子总会过去，相信吧，快乐的日子将会来临，一切都是瞬息。
结局可太真实了 有那么多证据摆在那 相关责任部门还在恬不知耻的踢皮球
吓得我别说加湿器杀菌剂，加湿器都不敢用了。
可笑的是，如果不是敌人内部出了问题，我们是打不赢的
活在楚门的世界，看真实改编，失望无奈气愤，感同身受，令人触目惊心。现实是没有反抗，只是逆来顺受。
空气杀人 的简中版翻译的比较一般，但看情节没有太大的问题。故事都写在海报上了，剧透一点有很多打官司的戏。算近年来及格线以上的韩国电影，没有惊艳，底线也不低。比较不理解有人挑刺李先彬的演技，和电影一样不惊艳是肯定的，但也没有到挨骂的程度。这种靠技术性反转，200分钟容量剪成100分钟时长的电影演员发挥空间不大。看完就忘记的电影，爽100分钟足矣，至于最后故意拔高那一下是好是坏，就仁者见仁智者见智了。
🇰🇷真的属于一边讽刺财阀，一边拿着财阀的💰拍电影。。。但不得不说嘲讽和真实，🇰🇷电影真的可以！
财阀：还是我才能拍出这么真实的电影来
部分交代不完整，但是最后法院门口众人一起喊口号的瞬间，竟然有些热泪盈眶，群众的力量。
略平缓的节奏、压抑的情绪，对应的正是现实中的这种无力感。演员们代我们说着心里话，将“演”无限荒诞化。
