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.
完全是一部海派的伍迪艾伦小品，本影迷看得如痴如醉，对费里尼的致敬与调侃也于我心有戚戚焉。以及成年人之间哪里有所谓爱情，无非是在生活的烟火里点到为止，推拉进退，最后又自然而然。
一部并不试图教会 总结出什么道理给我的电影
剧作蛮有趣，灵动，巧思，整体感很强，不造作，不拧巴，自自然然，清清爽爽，沪地方言来得情趣十足，幸好国内还有人能拍出这种生活流的作品，抓住生活断面和速写人物神采，马伊琍、吴越、倪虹洁三个女主角，以及周野芒饰演的老乌，其实比徐峥更精彩，老白这个人吸引女人喜欢的地方还没完全拍出来。虽然大多数爱情故事里，神话稀缺，笑话遍地，但还是要相信爱情啊混蛋们！
2倪虹洁是有钱有闲嘴上飒晚上只能会所找鸭 上海老阿姨这种一大把 内心干枯 老白你不如接这个盘 最起码心性飒爽
大概是当下华语都市爱情片能拍出的最好的样子，费里尼配蝴蝶酥，红烧肉搭Jimmy Choo，梧桐树下小弄堂里，每个角色都拥有自己的高光时刻。没有哪种生活方式不被包容，也没有哪种爱情观找不到落脚之处，上海值得这样的电影。
一个只在上海成立的故事。想不到年底了还出来一对王炸影片，喜剧之光和国漫精品双子星闪耀。
导演给自己刷三条5⭐可以吗？
喜欢画展那一场戏，两个女人对男导演眼中的女性角色解读，想起之前的一个观点：男性凝视下，女性只有三种角色，圣母，荡妇，女儿，分别为了满足依赖欲，性欲和保护欲，始终是客体，是工具，是第二性
观感很舒适，没有刻意抖机灵也没有狗血爱情，几个主角之间的人物关系戏剧却有说服力，而且好几段台词我都忍不住感叹写得太妙了，尤其喜欢片尾那种故事仍在继续的感觉，让我好像也融入进他们的生活里参与了他们的聊天一样，真是难得的体验
两个男人赌气的蒙太奇见过吗？哈哈哈，吴越的渣女言论牛🐮

看似是徐峥与三个女人的故事，其实主体从头到尾都是女性，男主反而是被动方。睡过徐峥的女人们从先前微妙的修罗场，到最后反而彼此成了朋友。大家一起嘲弄男主过时的男子气概刻板印象时，我在屏幕外也笑得解气：这是一部“女性同盟”电影，男士非请勿入🤣
刚好是在上海的平安夜，看完只想说：太灵了！有点Woody Allen的感觉～
演员普遍很好，就算是还不太会演戏的新演员状态也是妥帖舒适的。但配乐乱用（感觉这好像是电影学院学生的一个通病），台词写得过分精巧，恨不得十个字说十句话，强加在照着模子写的传声筒式人物口中，用力过猛反而做不到小品式的四两拨千斤，成了讨喜无害的小资神话。
《爱情神话》，灵啊。
永康路画画喝咖啡，五原路买果汁修皮鞋，东湖路蹦迪，外滩十八号办画展，饭桌上摆着桂花糖藕和春卷，汤碗里是甜滋滋的酒酿圆子，看电影要配上老大昌的苔条饼干和天玥桥路的蝴蝶酥……
本质上是一青春爱情片换成了一群中老年人来演，多了市井油腻，少了灵动激情，浮皮潦草的深刻，轻描淡写的共鸣，引来干扁文艺青年热捧也正常。我老了绝对不会给孩子讲我看过的文艺片。
最油膩的其實是配樂，但不妨礙在國產電影維度交出了一份好的成績。對於習慣逃避真實城市風情和缺乏中產描繪的中國商業電影，那份在地性和不做作都挺珍貴，最喜歡的是一些對白的subtext寫法以及結尾周野芒的solo演出，情緒高潮竟是由副線周野芒一人完成，且並不失效，這其實滿破格。兩岸三地女性新導演們在文本角度碾壓男導演們幾乎已是客觀事實。
他们离过婚，出过轨，
