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.

2021.11.21 大光明（七宝店）
8~10点钟，沉浸在悬疑片和喜剧片。有搞笑有沉重，更多的是纯净和温柔的力量。
不是致敬了迷影的东西都是好东西，也不是说它抛出了电影行业(特指国内电影行业)的很多梗和金句它就是佳品。
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。
我发誓再也不看国产低成本密室悬疑剧了，看吐了，演技浮夸，剧情生硬，民国乱世风，每一点都让我很难受。这种烂俗场景风格的电影竟然还有人吹，而且这种风格还越来越多。。
文艺 非常的文艺 少数能看的进去的文艺片 中年危机 青春期的叛逆 苦苦挣扎 最后和解 中规中矩
拼湊了一堆議題，不乏自我感覺良好；話劇式的表現話趕話到讓人犯睏；一堆平庸的演員，真正能看的演出大概只有張本煜和出場沒幾分鐘的余皚磊。
应该是我很喜欢的类型的电影，之后我要自己再看一遍。
“我叫你爸，你打我马，你这样对吗？”
什么烂七八糟的悬疑，国产制片人导演编剧是不是对悬疑有什么误解啊。
一路玩梗，认出来一些，肯定错过了更多，
喜欢那个一起跳河的片段
李家辉和齐乐山之所以用生命守护一个谎言，他们守护的不是谎言本身，而是谎言后面的那个人。
万合终于做了一个像样的电影，还是悬疑+喜剧，有点小意外，我愿意给五星。开篇有点慢热，笑点有点尬，但能感觉出已经很克制了，后面渐入佳境。喜欢这个片子推理方面的误导和逆转（虽然有点似曾相识），以及电影人对项目的吐槽哈哈哈哈！演员们的表演都不错！尽管有点话剧式的浮夸。
很舒服的片，现实生活再怎样也要有所享受，音乐，电影，诗，爱。
张本煜带女孩去看电影，电影讲的是刀仙，他抬头皱着眉头，好奇地伸出手指去碰触放映机投射而出的蓝色光影那一幕，不知道为什么，看得我很想哭。（尹正演得太用力了吧也！
像在看《一年一度喜剧大赛》剧场版，还不带快进跟倍速功能。
3.5 导演音乐品味真好/脆弱的 特别的 夏洛特甘斯布/我一直知道 你爱我/虽然围绕城市展开 很多镜头也聚焦于城市的夜晚 但丢了夏日感悟中幽灵般的subtlety 没有那么迷人
很久没看过这么安抚心灵的作品了，浪漫细腻又克制。
