简介: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.

简介:白天,忧郁的帕西瓦尔在父亲的殡葬店里帮死人上防腐剂,他是家族生意的准继承人;晚上,腼腆的帕西瓦尔会躲在地下夜总会的钢琴后面,用他给死人抹香料的手指弹出灵动的音符唤醒夜晚骚动的灵魂,他是天才却不敢出世的音乐家。  给帕西瓦尔提供宣泄天才和创作欲望机会的如斯特是地下夜总会的经理。相比自己沉湎于音乐世界又温柔内向的童年玩伴,如斯特名副其实地像只骄傲华丽的公鸡,夜夜笙歌美酒佳人就是他梦想中的一切,人生只在乎揭幕与谢幕之间那段高潮迭起纵情欢乐。  爱上了年轻的歌女安吉尔,帕西瓦尔意识到自己必须在梦想和父亲中选择。一个人选择太痛苦,帕西瓦尔用自己的理想感动及时行乐主义者如斯特与他同行,让他明白他们的天才和使命是为了在更广阔的音乐天地里开辟自己的风格、影响一个音乐时代。  两个年轻的音乐人走出了民风保守的乔治亚州。他们为梦想和爱踏上的路印证了30年代美国黑人音乐发展的轨迹。  ◇ 幕后制作  不断变化的档期安排、主演二人单飞的传闻不绝于耳,《爱德怀德》的发行无论对OUTKAST的粉丝还是片方都算是了却了悬在心头两年的一桩大事。《爱德怀德》也因为它的歌舞题材和全黑人组合在暑期档中极为耀眼。  影片的主演正是来自亚特兰大的饶舌组合OUTKAST两位成员,这两位曾获两次格莱美音乐奖的当红饶舌明星在片中扮演和自己身份相当吻合的黑人音乐人,但对比起《8英里》和《要钱不要命》这类传记片,OUTKAST无意模仿同行EMINEM们年纪轻轻就策划回忆录,编剧兼导演-更是OUTKAST御用MTV导演-布莱恩·巴伯量身订造的故事发生在美国30年代的舞台,一个处于保守和开放、禁锢和爆发夹缝的时代,而那个时代正好是黑人音乐发展而成的爵士乐遍地开花的时代,帕西瓦尔和如斯特的励志故事发生得极具戏剧性和典型了。  故事萌发的前传是1998年刚凭专辑“Aquemini”声名鹊起的OUTKAST产生制作与专辑同系列的电影,MTV认可了这个创意但要拿当时名气更大的Missy Elliott 和Busta Rhymes代替OUTKAST出演。自己的电影作了人家嫁衣两兄弟士气遭到打击。随后他们再构思的《爱德怀德》,终于在两人如日中天的时候面世了。  布莱恩·巴伯撰写这个故事的初衷是为了在被饶舌和街舞塞满脑子的年轻人心中培养他们对爵士时代的感情,让他们知道嬉哈、R B是怎么从威灵顿公爵、Cab Calloway这些天才的作品衍生出来的;OUTKAST推动了嬉哈音乐的发展,自然也要担负起教育年轻人娱乐不忘本的责任,影片也瞄准了OUTKAST的广大粉丝,而为了在教育前先把目标观众抓在手中,OUTKAST同时担任影片音乐监制,亲自操刀所有曲目创作乃至编排,也正因为二人在音乐水准上精益求精,影片才一再修改背景音乐而姗姗来迟。  OUTKAST的90分钟MTV  布莱恩·巴伯显然不想把《爱德怀德》拍成黑人音乐发展史,为了让影片因为现代而更好理解,30年代实际上纯粹被简化成一个舞台背景,布莱恩·巴伯赋予了它许多《红磨坊》式的-甚至《天使爱美丽》式-的美术效果:OUTKAST的音乐在Cab Calloway的腔调上混合了骚灵、散拍和说唱等风格,安德烈·本杰明和安东万·安德鲁·巴顿的唱腔也游走与爵士时代的回忆和嬉哈之间;  而影片中最招人眼的舞蹈场面更是邀请了三度获东尼奖的Hinton Battle与其“代表着美国多元化文化传统“的舞台实验室的演员们一同为影片设计了一整套混合舞步,于是在30年代的酒吧舞台摇摆舞、踢踏舞、嬉哈街舞将融合在一体出现,跨越近八十年的音乐与舞蹈在影片中重叠了,似乎把历史界限也模糊了,加之不时出现的动画效果,在不能追讨如何还原历史真相的条件下,《爱德怀德》把歌舞表演片段反复推上激情顶峰,布莱恩·巴伯对OUTKAST的知根知底、情谊深重把这个故事作为最好的宣传片送给了将在8月22日上市的电影原声。
