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.
如果大家一直对国产电影这么宽容的话，国产电影永远出不了精品。作为一个主打强情节的电影，剧作水平完全不达标，角色塑造支离破碎。除了台词一次次提到上海滩，大部分角色一张嘴都让人觉得在听德云社相声。余皑磊出场几分钟碾压所有人。在推理过程中还一直有水词，令人无语。只能说是一个还可以的作品，不能再多。
对中国电影深深的嘲讽。身无分文的投资人、烂片著名的导演、过气冷饭的名宿、深陷丑闻的女星、言过其实的小生。不敢触及的话题，无力对抗的势力。即便没有审查，也摆脱不了拍个大烂片的事实。最可怜的莫过于编剧，电影拍完了，自己才明白发生了什么。
无语…一群人在玩剧本杀。坚持了一个半小时实在是坚持不下去了…走了
十个项目九个凉……却有一部放光芒。这个电影太适合改编成话剧了，肯定特别好看。
中年女性成长史 很平静的讲述 坠入情绪里感到舒适
带着对万合天宜的多年滤镜来的，子墨还是让我惊艳了一把，四星水平，五星鼓励了。
是记忆，记忆就像火苗，只要有一点儿，便有变成燎原之势的可能。”
九分。好久不看文艺片了。诗人，政治家，音乐，爱情，性，塞纳河畔，烟，酒，深夜电台，八十年代生活的印象，在碎片化里整合生命。。。。
本年度看过的最无聊的电影，恨影院没有快进键，不是点子有问题，是讲故事的能力有问题。
很难得的去影院看片，看的时候突然想到中国电影往往让人想到中国足球，玩得水平是高是低且不说，可总是觉得玩的和别人都不是一回事。
而李家辉等人的目的，是借助电影把三老的事公之于众。
八九十年代的穿搭 唱片 音乐 香烟 电影中的胶片滤镜 不太清晰的画质 穿插的旧影像 满满的复古风和慢慢的叙述 每一项都治愈了我 好复古好美好喜欢好喜欢好喜欢今天也是想穿越的一天
其实本来想给四星，但心想这应该是今年最好的国产悬疑片吧，那就拉满吧。美其名为剧本杀电影，但其实与剧本杀关系不大，称为话剧杀更为合适，甚至连诡计反转的设置都更像悬疑推理电影的处理，诚然它就是大银幕放的话剧，每个演员的表演都较以往浮夸许多，还有些观众觉得做作，我是可以理解，但如果从一部话剧来看，我却觉得可以接受。话说我刚看话剧的时候，也被话剧那种夸张的表演劝退，但只要看的多，慢慢可以接受下来。一家封闭的大宅子发生命案，好几个人排排坐，重温案情，从表面上看，像是阿婆的标配，其中有一个密室诡计融梗了柯南的降灵双重密室，不过不是重点，重点是凶手的动机和分尸的理由。唐探3喜剧本格社会动作样样都想占尽，我不认可，观众也不买账，这刘循子墨第一部银幕大电影就把陈思诚想干的事都干完了。你说惊不惊喜，意不意外？
不是我想象的夜 也不是我想象的旅人 不过巴黎人这种随地做爱的生活态度真喜欢呀
与无法触及人心的自我感动式讽刺说教。
华语院线第一部“剧本杀电影”吧，真的讨论剧本，当然几年前开始写剧本时肯定不是以剧本杀的噱头为目的，更可能是想拍中国的《利刃出鞘》，且是冒着很大的投资失败风险去拍的。我看之前避开了一切剧透，事先不知道几乎没有外景，全是室内对话戏，所以看到中间有点犯困，要是调度再漂亮点、节奏再紧凑点就好了。但到后半段，尤其余皑磊那个“灭火者”角色的几番话，说掌权者最怕的是“记忆”，他要负责扑灭星星之火，一下子把我震清醒了，牛逼。就冲这结尾也要为这部有勇气、有思考的电影点个赞。陈明昊和邓恩熙的表演略欠佳。
全片跟过家家玩儿似的，你以为离扬名立万只差一步之遥，还早着呢！（听说片名最初叫《一部电影的诞生》，看来导演真对文文情结蛮深的～
5.5分。比开心麻花强一点的话剧式电影，但也只强一点，仅此而已。
合格的商业电影，人物生动细节充实，台词密集有趣，反抗强权的主题也对路。几个冷笑话笑果十足。国内这种密室题材的电影不少，能玩得转的并不多。
电影里有段台词，刀仙和小师妹，双剑合璧杀妖怪。没有逐梦演艺圈，只有复仇和家国大义。
