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.
雷老爷子挺高产。 Gucci家的故事其实可以讲得挺多。雷老爷子还是拍的不那么顺手 去拍异形吧 求求了。
太过平庸了，像是没有波动的死水，这么有戏剧效果的故事和人物关系拍的毫无波澜，家族内部的仇恨、斗争、背叛全都一带而过，角色性格也转变的很生硬，毛里奇奥的虚伪和阴险都没过多展现，只剩下了似是而非的懦弱，这和看百科词条的感觉也差不多了。再加上这是老雷拍的，简直是令人大失所望。
明明是一个可读性很强的故事，却被拍的如此拖拉无亮点。尤其是这注水的大部分时长里，基本全是gaga神婆般的絮絮叨叨，就更赶客了。
"Once you think there's enough to go around, then you'll have a taste, and then you"ll want more, and then you'll want the whole thing for yourself."
就 这个家族的故事真的适合各种小视频科普 但电影处理不好反而被现实本身的抓马性盖过 可惜了
从头到尾，都好像只有她一个人把自己当成这个家族的一员，而那个男人，甚至没有维护过她一次就开始厌弃她
一部商界战略的典型案例被拍成了狗血家族内斗的商业王朝。Lady Gaga的闪亮登场和惊艳造型令人回味。
在纽约看的电影里极少数出字幕之后全场鼓掌的，和我想象的完全不一样……雷德利斯科特的名字出现之前我都忘了这是他导的，这片子的分类也太错误了，“犯罪”，“惊悚”，哈哈哈哈哈
见识到其叙事节奏的时候，我查看了影片时长。心想剩余的时间里得有多少内容。
从家族品牌到没有了古驰家族的古驰，从一个美好爱情发展到谎言欺骗谋杀背叛，这么狗血的故事竟然没有被拍出狗血感，雷公真的手软了，感觉就像把几年前的“金钱世界”又复制了一遍。嘎嘎过犹不及，我愿称亚当司机为丑帅界的扛把子...
天哪必须要为Leto少爷说一下，Paolo Gucci我根本没有认出来好吗？化妆简直太可怕了，意大利口音也相当不错，简直是最大的彩蛋！
I am with Tom Ford, at best it's a SNL sketch. Patrizia的故事其实非常有得拍，其实几大fashion house都还蛮有故事的，但拍成这德行算做啥？我甚至觉得好像只有gaga还是认真的。这电影也完全没有任何雷导风格的影子。Why do we need this?BAFTA居然还给最佳英国影片的提名？
荡气回肠的豪门家族悲剧史诗，主要角色没有一个讨喜的，雷老爷子冷眼看着这一家人彼此斗个鱼死网破，最后便宜了外人。时代的潮流不可逆，古驰家族的衰落也是必然，败给了资本，败给了市场发展的必然
豪门渣男打着发妻的名号做了坏事之后，想离婚却被反杀的流水账故事。为爱开心，婚礼现场，为爱开心，孩子出生，父亲生病，父亲死亡………都是带动画的ppt效果翻页
商業和家庭的多層悲劇怎麼會以她為主要敘述角度？大廈傾盡，怪女人 永遠比解決問題更簡單。不聞夏殷衰，中自誅褒妲。到底，我們應該拍攝什麼樣的傳記片。
【C－】《最后的决斗》好歹还有仿照《罗生门》的心思，《古驰家族》真就没有任何设计可言，既无佳句也无佳章。“电视剧质感”都不足以形容这部电影，更像是毫无娱乐特质的流水账怪物，没有节制也没有目标，甚至作为一部时尚大片到了最后给人的观感只有土鳖，够失败了。
拍的有点台湾8点档。其实雷公更适合拍LV家族是如何被现任LVMH的董事长用尽各种脏手段赶出LVMH集团。
原事件还是有潜力拍成部很好的讽刺剧的，可惜电影想把所有东西都塞进来显得没有重点还冗长，甚至连Gucci的噱头呈现也不多，拍成迷你剧会好一些。演员都不错，就是一堆人用口音来演戏还是有点不伦不类。
发挥最好的是服装设计师Janty Yates…可以当超长广告来看
拍的太四平八稳了，乏善可陈，感觉是个假雷导拍的。唯一表扬的是全片所有人物的服装是真的不错。
