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.
如此这样讲诉故事的高手是昆汀和科恩兄弟，本片只能是个弟弟
嗯 觉得男主的表演有些让人出戏 虽然我也知道北野武因受伤导致面瘫 还会间歇性眨眼 这是对人物的还原 但和女生第一次在舞台遇见的那场戏（那时候北野武还没受伤）表演实在有些奇怪…
在同类追忆型自传作品中算是完成度较高的。以及主角若不是柳乐以及麦小姐，估计质量会塌陷的厉害。
明白了为啥座头市片尾要跳踢踏舞了。
从故事设定本身的角度，加上悬疑反转的水平来看，这部作品肯定是不下四星。
马克里朗斯真是老戏骨啊，纯用眼神就表达了一切。
后半断断续续地哭了三次，第一次哭的时候觉得，奥这个煽情还挺老套的但是我吃了。第二次下意识又哭了出来，却突然被逗乐地笑出了声来，心想诶这里很新奇，可以！以为这就是高潮了，不料最后的这个一镜到底实在是太自然太舒服了，不光是眼泪止不住地留下来，喉咙开始哽咽，鼻子时隔好久好久没有这么酸了，甚至都快忘记了这种感觉。不得不说剧情是「老套」的励志加昔日挽歌，但是节奏相当明快顺畅，剧团一人（作为导演）的才华不得不让人感叹。
追看性和製作都不差，就是單一空間的玩法，劇情總是有些強扭的刻意感
非常优雅流畅，设计精妙，反转连连，演员张力很棒
意外的好看
比期待的好很多，铃木保奈美依然是我心目中的女神。影片的理念也是我也是天堂电影院一直在坚持做的事情，不去讨好影迷讨好观众，而是你要去告诉观众什么才是真正好的有趣有意义的电影。
你不是cutter，是film cutter
剧本很棒，前半段低智三人组搞笑，后半段多重反转精彩，结局足够高潮且没有刻意，但都比不上Mark叔叔神仙演技，每个小眼神都让人尖叫嗷嗷嗷。超喜欢女主，聪明，独立，潇洒，不是太美但独有风情。摄影和配乐都是imitation的翻版，唯独前半段的剪辑好多地方非常突兀…有一种刚毕业的广告导演拍猎奇mv的感觉…
铃木保奈美 /门胁麦 / 新老女神参演的北野武的传记电影，有什么好犹豫的，必须十分，哈哈，真好看，而且关于表演的各种洞见台词，也是受益颇深，非常感谢！铃木保奈美眼神真是杀了我， /门胁麦 /的小锤锤锤你胸口更是杀我第三遍。。深见对阿武的好都是默默的、假装无意的、私下的，真是太暖了。。。从来不低头的深见，提着酒去拜托剧场经历关照背叛师门独自出走的阿武。。多感谢呢！心无所住而行布施，这就是无条件的宠爱吧？说起来，我也曾多次为了喜欢的人默默的付出呢。也许我也是个温柔的人吧：）虽然看起来凶凶的，刀子嘴豆腐心，一心一意对你好，让你飞，随你走。。衣钵传人呢，还是需要珍惜的！得英才而育之不亦乐乎，可惜深见英年早逝了！里美更是陪酒摔倒丧命。。哎。。都是为了谁。。

舞台剧的范儿，全片单场景，全靠马克里朗斯演技撑场子，反转有点刻意，细想BUG不少。
说白了，就是杀人游戏，用嘴炮在人心里做文章，不过呈现的弯弯绕还不算复杂，求助场外这“道具”也太好使，甚至还觉得扮猪吃老虎没过瘾，最后来那么一下也有点破功。片中有一段时空接续的平行蒙太奇倒是蛮灵光。
3.5分。 严格遵守三一律法则，让所有的故事都聚焦于一天一间裁缝店里。虽然这期间几派人物来来回回，穿梭不停，但都在这个小区域里展开心理博弈，叙事风格上回到了五六十年代希区柯克的悬疑片做派，老旧，但并不让人烦闷，只要沉下心，依旧是一部值得一看的犯罪悬疑片。 不过，最有意思的，还是对于西服文化的展示，更准确地说，是对老手艺剪裁师的工作还原。将服饰的制作精准对应到具体的每个步骤，并将大体阶段和案件计划进行巧妙对应，这是老派电影人的讲究，也是文化掮客们的欢场。
单一场景，密集的台词，精湛的演技，几重反转。被这种虽然老派但教科书般的小成本话剧电影拿捏的死死的，干了一杯陈年佳酿的感觉。3.5⭐
Rylance吊打一众卡司的水平（舞台剧感确实太重了呃（不过johnny flynn这次演的挺好
