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.
她算是一个活在当下，接受当下，并作出当下的选择的人吧
嗯。。毕竟是发生在阿三的国度所以一切都显得很合理，，能包涵则包涵。。女主不逃是因为割舍不了姐妹们吧我猜。
印度很久没拍过大女主光环电影，这部2022年新片拍得可真不错，讲述甘古拜一生自救的传奇故事。
女主很美，有力量感。但是整体人物塑造得有点硬，过渡得不够自然，有的剧情太过说教了。
服化道出乎意料的好看，虽然最后捧上神坛有点掉价，但是至少人家还可以在文艺作品中讨论女权。
如果卖淫本身无法被废除，那先让被迫害的人受到一点点保护。革命可能无法一步彻底，需要一点又一点人道主义的累积。
2022印度男人巨蜥都不放过 四分之一的女性被qj过或正在被qj。还分三六九等种姓制度 女人还要出钱嫁人 社会脏乱差 出的去的都不会选择回去的。这个gj基本没希望了。 还是马屁精。整个秉性普信蠢。 再说女主要是没有得到黑帮支持就没有然后了。
她不是圣人，也不是恶魔。她更不会名垂青史。但她的心是金黄色的……她教会了她们如何在笼子里呼吸。《孟买黑手党女帝》非常非常好的传记和片子，印度电影真的总能让你知道什么是好电影——关于人类在困境下的身体力量和精神力量可以有多大。即便它并不是一个理想中的国家，甚至说是非常糟糕的。但它在电影上是做到了，如何一次次提醒自己，人类和世界应该是怎么样。——即便现实中这位孟买黑手党皇后甘古拜死后并未能做到真正改变什么，但电影真诚地记录下了一次壮观的人类崛起。
我还以为会比想象中的更好。不过拍摄手法和配乐我都蛮喜欢的
人人都见识有限，可依然会因此被抨击
首先，我不赞同卖淫合法化。
我觉得是近期比较值得看的一部印度电影。尤其是在唐山烧烤店事件发生之后。
如果有人在煽动你和家人的对立情绪，让你远离家人，那你一定要警惕，这人不是什么好鸟。
甘古是怎么成为了拉拉的妹妹呐？仅凭这么几句话。拉拉是她一生中的贵人。我不认为电影的拍摄技法叙述手段里有出彩的地方，平平无奇罢了 三星献给甘古拜 要知道在一个女性地位一直低下的国度去宣扬平等，为女性奋斗本身是一件难上加难的事情。
这部电影必须要放在一定的时代背景下评价，抛开妓女和卖淫天生自带的原罪，女主在恶中开出了花，在一群黑玫瑰中出脱成一朵白莲。很多人纠结她这么快认定了自己的职业，我想在印度，男人一边享受着妓女带来的欢愉，女人一边也鄙视着自己同性的堕落，所以一个女孩一旦沦落风尘是会带着浓重的道德枷锁，无法被原来的家庭接受的。一旦认定了这个事实，女主的发展也就不再拧巴。既然改变不了这种现象，就让她们在最大程度上拥有应得的尊严。其实最后一段演讲多少是令人不适的，因为她的价值观早已超出了我们传统的道德范畴，包括电影里提到的卖淫合法化也让人无所适从，女主的观点有其局限性，但不可否认她在为一群现实存在的女性争取生存空间和权利。如何矛盾地看待甘古拜，也就能辩证地看待每个时代的灰色地带。
首先，我不赞同卖淫合法化。
不管是女主的美貌还是剧情走向还是重点台词都一股爹味的女权电影，但是想想我们连这种都拍不出来，立刻4星。
爽片拍的不错。3.5吧。以前看电影特别喜欢评论价值观，现在觉得每种价值观都有自己的思考逻辑。从节奏完成度人设已经做的不错的。甘谷白神圣感拍的比较足。 低谷反击至此，可以了。
很震撼的一部女性觉醒片，唯一不适的地方是甘古说妓女是帮助社会减少强奸，这还是男性视角吧！
但女神为了保护四千多女性的生存权利和尊严奉献了一生和自己的所有，值得所有人尊重她。
