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.
洋酒穿肠，美肴下肚； 谈笑风生，好不快活。以为只是一个中年偶像剧，围绕着庸常琐碎打转；却更像悲喜交加的人生组曲，千滋百味。它没有强行为角色们创造任何选择，而是让各路特色小铺、闲适悠闲的沪味生活浑然一体的洒脱与惬意来作为准则；到底是神话还是笑话，都交由他们自己书写。但更难得的还是齐聚了三位都在近年来因为各种热剧重回人们视线、并且不断值得更多好机会的女演员们；每个人的风姿多彩与绽放的火花仿佛可以加开「沪版《爱很美味》」，让人们感受她们在这个阶段也恣意散发的无边魅力。
惊艳到了，这款电影没见过啊，整体叙事丝滑饱满，老乌的故事浅入深出，给人的联想留白含蓄有品有力，现实和故事似真似假交织发展，演员力道味道都炉火纯青升仙得道，所以你说他要讲什么道理呢，要我说什么道理也没讲，就讲了个故事，讲了一些平时我们接触不到又偶尔见到的人。这下徐峥的人设也要加分了，又会做饭又有租收的好男人，怎么能让人拒绝呢。
每个角色都各有各的鲜活，故事也非常自然。难得能看到这么出彩的爱情片！PS: 老白儿子那个角色演技太拉垮了……
吴越说99%都是按照剧本来演的，可见剧本有多扎实，而且不光扎实，还金句不断到处灵光，加持一批好演员，真是太好看。这才是喜剧该有的样子，高级的幽默，用场景和语言去做出来，不是用浮夸的表演和夸张场景设计出来的，但又不仅仅为了喜剧而喜剧，通篇充满了人情味。这部片子可以说是对上海这个城市最好的注脚了，就是那种从里到外的骨子里的高级感，人文情怀当然还有距离感，加上用上海话表演，更是妙不可言。这也才是上海应该有的“腔调”，我也看到了另外一种可能，既然港片用粤语，那种上海能不能出产更多的“沪片”
绝对的惊喜之作！把上海人的精致、精明、生活趣味，描绘的淋漓尽致。与其说是爱情故事，不如说是属于这座城市的人文小传。迷影情结也是很精彩的彩蛋了~全片沪语非常棒，看完了简直想搬去弄堂里的小洋房住住
作为一个土生土长的上海人，我表示这不是我长大的生活的那个上海，完全不接地气，我朋友说得非常形象，就是小红书里的上海，以为在做很洋气的事情，我离开上海这么几年，哪能就成这样了呢？虽然都是在说上海话，但台词假得不行，做作得不行得！徐峥和马伊琍感觉上就是很久很久没在生活中讲过上海话了，每一句话说出来都不对，我和我上海同学不这么说话，我和我爹妈更不这么说话！徐峥还要假惺惺地做菜，这架势我还以为他是为了拍视频传上网！最后一群人看盗版的费里尼看得快睡着，我笑死了！然而看完我都不知道看了个什么东西，中年人恋爱，我也没看出什么智慧或是浪漫，还蛮尴尬的。全片我最喜欢的就是周野芒的老乌了。
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。
被索菲亚•罗兰睡了叫爱情神话，被吴亦凡睡了叫啥？

86/100
失望多于惊喜，新时代消费主义国产片，消费的一定是女，被嫖的一定是男，住的是市中心，约的是咖啡馆，掼浪头要费里尼，开画展要在外滩18号， “断舍离”，“送上门” ，像男主角家里的一幅幅画一样一个个标签符号横飞，台词直白抖机灵，虽然没觉得媚上海，但是很媚女观众，一边暗搓搓地搞暧昧一边把男权思维喷得狗血淋头，为什么彰显需要贬低作前提，我们的电影不是0就是1，永远看不到融合的0.5
太妙了，引起舒适！致敬费里尼，但其实是伍迪·艾伦的味道，很有趣、很轻盈，很多台词属于那种懂得都懂的巧妙。最重要的，它是都属于国产电影中稀缺的那类的城市电影，以及一群充满生活气息的真实都市人和成熟爱情。最后也不装，一群人聚众看文艺片看到昏昏欲睡也太真实了hhhhh 这就是字面意义上的生活状态和神话距离感。上海话很加分。喜欢~
？？？索菲亚的那个故事一讲，算了吧什么啊。一地鸡毛的小市民故事。以及姐姐们自己过多香，中年油腻爱吹牛逼的老男人就一脚踹了吧。当初说赎金2.5万的时候我满脑子都在想这么贱命就算了吧……这批故事怎么能捧到这么高分的我不理解
✪94//第二遍看时连最初没留下美好第一印象的开场都看着顺眼，开篇后来的每段戏都有我入迷的节奏（无论表演或影像内容编排），场景灵了、机位和运镜灵了、对白也灵了，每当两个人说上话时似乎都要有好神奇的事发生：寻常生活的小麻烦在自然的谈天里渐渐走向水到渠成，偶尔冒出的矛盾慢慢已经看来不是什么大事。太喜欢角色之间好自在、几乎一根刺都不带、带刺也不扎人的交流。
“无论现在在做什么忙着生计，但不要放弃想表达的，不过分在意别人的想法，时来运转，电影总有一天会有钱拍的。”long live！
绝大部分电影都是有时态的。比如看港片，《八星报喜》《精装追女仔》《赌神》都是过去时，《智齿》《浊水漂流》《拆弹专家》是现在时。我特意去学习了一下关于这片的讨论，发现无论是正方还是反方，尤其是激烈抨击此片的，都没太理解片里吴越说的三个字“过去式”或者被那看画的路人甲文艺中年重复了一遍的"过时”到底指的是啥。拍片的人是不是心里有数呢，也许是宁愿做梦吧。当年老崔有句著名的歌词“不是我不明白，这世界变化快”，执迷于校准片中生活与人物或者为其辩解的，不是沉浸于还活在过去的错觉里，就是还没分清此时到底是过去还是现在吧。
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

90后就是90后的水平呀。成功地把上海拍成了坊间传说的轻浮浅薄模样。哦，还有做作
方言之于一部城市主义的影片来说，只有魅力的加分，完全可忽略字幕的阻碍。敬佩导演的勇气和决心，敢于坚持“国产外语片”。对白很用心，没有烂梗、没有说教，是恰到好处的幽默感和生动自然的烟火气。记住了邵艺辉这位新人女导演/编剧，片中的几位新时代女性的人设立得落落大方，女性主义的表达方式也坦坦荡荡。演员都很到位，尤其要为周野芒和吴越爆灯。不追求爆笑，只求会心一笑。不是情绪大起大落的法官刺激，但在适当的时候还是会戳中你。不是光环加持的大人物神话，也不是处处碰壁的小人物笑话，是“我有一个朋友”那种普通但也值得与人说道的家常话。
