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.
此外还有很多熟悉的老面孔，巴比伦柏林女主，王冠里的爱德华八世……荞麦小哥西装革履的精英扮相居然比1917里的狼狈乱糟糟的汤米更苦逼，好在这一次他总算没有再眼睁睁看着朋友死去了
We don’t choose the times we live in, the only choice we have is how we respond.
除了片尾评价，事实上挺符合历史的，我看着觉得挺嘲的，但评价“拖了一年让同盟国胜利”是什么鬼？而且球球了，racist这个词出来我实在不知道该笑还是该骂，用这个词来形容德三，太扯了吧……最后，这个德国小哥好帅啊！
是一部适合当下看的预言电影，因为主体状态从未改变。
我分不清Hugh Legat和Joe Alwyn
從個體視角觀察歷史轉折事件，非常有壓迫力的緊張氣氛，台詞中又有洞徹未來的意味深長。歷史書上的幾行字並不能了解到當時的社會環境，能在理解電影觀點的時機看一部電影，是一件非常美妙的事。對和平的不斷嘗試談判並不是愚蠢的，而與之相反才可怕，現在這個時間點也是同樣。湊巧兩天連著看了傑瑞米出演的電影，蒼白削瘦的面孔下襯衣尖尖的衣領，優雅的姿態很迷人
刚看完书来看电影，重要情节大体相同，但是缺少了书中细节的心理描述，整个过程也就不那么紧张和刺激了，甚至是反转都是有迹可循，没有惊喜感。
15-37英国《慕尼黑：战争边缘》
铁叔抢去一切风采，故事一般吧，没有非常好的紧张感。
青年激颂新德国，英伦民厌炮火天。
这种以小见大能把人带回到现场，但总有种不见全章的困顿感，感觉会影响对历史的理解。
关于元历史，「政治现实」和具体的人；片尾字幕或许削弱了影片的电影性，但我无比认同Paul对「希望」的解构：当被抛入所处的时代，「主体性」是用行动来书写的——德意志外交官其实是一位存在主义大师。（Hugh/Paul让我代到特吕弗/戈达尔是可以说的吗
4，节奏感和氛围把控惊喜，没想到这么精彩，两位男主化学反应太棒可遇不可求，那些对视，果然又是牛津爱又是一个永恒的夏天，share一根烟等着一起呼实在太浪漫了，成为一个经典的时刻，私心加一星。
昨天刚看完原著，趁着新鲜的记忆又看了电影。
一战战壕到二战前夕，前线小兵到首相秘书，George MacKay特快专递情报信件的标志性场景「荞麦跑」现已正式列入影史。严肃正剧的定位注定除了集齐优秀演员，重现昨日以讽喻当下政治的些微意义之外，对如今世界仅剩「道德说教」。工整乏味的导演手法使其无法跳出纪录片语法的阴影，即使借助原著在课本事件的空白间隙里穿针虚构，惊悚氛围和人物塑造的表现依然毫无新招，趣味寥寥。当片尾字幕亮出，影片用意更是昭然若揭：给被单一主流叙事方向盖棺定论为绥靖罪人的张伯伦一次重新建构，但也因此过度干涉引导的意图，电影彻底失去影像的独立性沦为教学和创作两边不搭的尴尬产物。无数细节渗入明显来自刻意制造平行以作今日代言的后见之明，也让主线关于无法选择生存时代的立场相左无名人物的「抉择」变得虚浮，同窗走向陌路的设计亦全是老调。
高中时代，只是提到了张伯伦搬起石头扎了自己的脚。宏观背后微观的故事表现不错。从宏观历史讲，欧洲人的绥靖主义风行，前有《敦刻尔克》为英国的不战而退洗锅，谓之曰：保留有生力量，然后这部《慕尼黑，战争边缘》为张伯伦正名，谓之曰：牺牲个人名誉，让美国看到德国的真面目。怯战？苟且偷安的表现不过是怯战。日不落帝国还是一副胜利者的姿态，顿时搞到恶心。牺牲小国，跟当下之乌克兰没啥区别！
即便只评价双男主也不怎么样啊 典型人物关系先于人物加上乔治麦凯瞪着眼睛像个meme这不是纯纯男科
没死一个却这么紧张。我们上帝视角当然知道发生了什么，这个片子换了一个视角就是在我们历史教材里绥靖代表人物张伯伦，就算他知道要发生了什么真的就能一把梭哈，美国也是在珍珠港后才能全国上下总动员的。再有表现那个时代的贵族真贵族，表率而为理想、主义比命主要。前面德国人民狂热是不是现在赎罪的心理，毕竟开始真是自己投票投出来的纳粹党。捷克不光没有参加瓜分自己的会议，在电影里连脸都没露一下。还能感觉当初克里米亚真的很像苏台德，都是当地多数人要求“改籍“，这东西都能随便改就没有暴乱了。
拍的非常不错，很细腻，讲述了那段鲜为人知的历史背景，人物都很不错，紧张的氛围与英式的精致都展现的很好。
以为是讲少年气的血勇败给绥靖老头儿们的老奸巨猾，却原来最后成了为张伯伦洗地、平反。对这位厌战老兵“和平首相”的新解有所了解，但将之塑造为“我不下地狱谁下地狱”、以甘愿自侮不惧出丑而为国家为欧洲争取到宝贵时间⋯⋯啊，多少也是拐弯拐得有点急。不知道苏台德但泽斯克的人们愿不愿意接受这样的“委曲”。对照俄侵乌的当下，倒是令人唏嘘，历史不过是复读机，同样的台词、同样的人设，一次次地重演。两个男主演得相当不错。另：一次次地，那么多人曾经想肉体消灭大魔王，都没成功。这是天数，天不灭曹，人类的劫数。
