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.
没有studio sytem般工业化的国产电影，就像没有严师辅导的差生班，散兵游勇，野蛮生长，随意发挥，差是常态，偶尔能有几个好的就是惊喜。但最怕的就是，全班都捧在手心的“好学生”，外面的学生凑过来一看：“就这”？！
牛逼！笑的时候让人开怀大笑，触动的时候让人眼角湿润。整个电影的立意也很好，在女性导演的电影中，英子年轻时简直太美了。结局的反转让人震撼，牛逼！
单论电影本身还是有很多毛病，但我共情了贾玲对母亲的感情和母爱。
贾玲放了真感情进去，但导演技术还是稚嫩的，看到了不少影片的影子。还好是沈腾救了场，那个角色他演起来观众也还买账，但凡换个人演，就垮掉了。
虽然结尾还是有点煽情过度
我没有能力让我妈的名字像李焕英和叶惠美一样响遍世界，我只能永远把她记住。
文无第一，武无第二，打死我我也觉得好看，我认为艺术最基础的就是情感，你就算技巧用得再好，没有情感，那也没什么用，反正这部电影触动我了，我就认为这就是一部好的电影，反观春节档其它几部电影，我就认为人潮汹涌还不错，唐探拍得没法看，刺杀也get不到他的点。总之，我觉得这部电影用心。
D / 整体编排仍显局促，但好多场戏都捕捉到了人物视角与叙事视角的差异来制造细微且沉稳的幽默感。这种双重构造更是直接作用于人物的选择，并在叙事者的角度为身处诸多“命运”中的人物打开缺口。哪怕“天要下雨”仍能投入雨中背对背相拥，哪怕是“厂长儿子”仍有可能在表演中博得欢笑——但这种矛盾只是被暗示，从未被解决。因而最终反转的力量绝不仅仅在于加深人物情感关系，更在于提升李焕英这一核心角色所处的叙事层级，从而让人物自觉揭示这种分裂的悲剧性：为何“健康快乐”的理想与追求“长脸”的成功学法则愈发无法摆脱地纠缠在一起？如此一来，影片并非没有看到前后两个母亲形象的断裂（或者说这种断裂可能只有在极度纯粹的怀乡病视角才成立），而只是在一个相对凝定的历史节点试图描画这种分裂的图景。至于更深的回答，它只能沉默不语。
最感人的段落是贾玲喝高了说下辈子她当妈（她应该是真的很想念妈妈吧）。
大部分小孩子总会听妈妈说“要是没有你们我现在早就....”很少有李焕英式的妈妈说“我宝啊，有你妈妈就最幸福了”
二刷:泪点记录「下辈子还是我当妈」然后瘦瘦的身子背着胖闺女一点点走回家。「她干啥来了？让我高兴来了。」
李焕英妈妈，贾玲真的成功了！
妈妈再来一次还是坚定地选择了那个他，生下她的宝。不求大富大贵，不需要更好的选择，只要是你们陪我，就是最幸福的一生。无论我们有多么普通，都是妈妈心里独一无二的宝。
好奇怪的体验，从来没有过的。看这个电影的时候，影厅里那些说小话儿的、评论的太大声的，没有引起我一丝反感，甚至感到，怎么形容呢，就是，那种很感谢大家跟我一起看这个电影的感觉——对，那个词是亲切。虽然一想就涌起哭意，但我是被治愈了。谢谢你，贾玲。
怎么说，哪怕是这种题材对我来讲没什么触动点，但看完之后依旧是会对剧情里的人物有小小的共鸣。我喜欢它简约的主题——我来你高兴吗？高兴啊！
最后还是去看了。女性视角，女性反思，女性互助各一星。但作为一个小品很合格，作为一个亲情电影真的有点按头问你“你怎么还不哭呢？”的压迫感。
唉，感动是感动的。但是母女关系搞成这样，实在是让双方都太累了。
看了一半 太难坚持了，好无聊。。。又尬又不好笑，坚持不下去了。最后20min强制煽情。说难听点，就是：贩卖亲情的道德绑架了。
除了二人转那段开头感到尴尬以外，后面半小时隐形眼镜都给我哭掉，突然想到了电影的最基本的作用，圆梦、完成纪念的使命。
一看沈腾贾玲他们都在，第一反应就是喜剧，但总体真的不错，喜剧+煽情同时存在，切换得当。
