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.
认真的也值3.5星了，不是我最喜欢的，对我个人来讲还是讲的太碎太满了，第一场戏在院子里教老年人画画的戏特别特别好，当时太惊喜了，后面就接不住了，尤其是配乐用的太多了，过多用音乐去烘托情绪就太硬了，多了就招人烦。第一段三女一男的戏也太为了戏剧冲突而拍了，没有洪尚秀尴尬的自然。个人还是喜欢单线程的爱情故事，如果多增加一些徐峥马伊琍的戏，比如说两个人一起再看一次戏剧，聊聊天等，会更加喜欢，当然了，这也不是导演想要的，也不是市场想要的，还是惊喜的，希望能看多更多的国产小品电影。
年轻小两口演的太拉
多少年过去了，美国人眼中的中国人还是没有什么变化。不知道该感慨美国，还是感慨中国。
很适合找个假期约三五好友窝在家里一起看 最大的败笔大概就是小爱豆吧
真不愧是2021年国产最佳。
每个角色都挺喜欢，作为一个年轻女性，居然会觉得老白这个角色太有魅力了，比徐峥本人有魅力太多。
拍中年人的没有那么“纯粹”的爱欲，很轻盈很聪明。名叫“爱情神话”，但电影中含爱情量又不高，跟普通人生活中“生活/爱情”的配比量差不多，由此电影的格外落地，不悬浮，真。导演私自夹带了一些元素：“红拂”杂货店、“夜奔”酒吧、“艺辉国际学校”，卖电子烟作为艺术从业者的副业，一个山西人迁移了自己与男友在上海旅居的经历用于创作，十分“私房电影”了。尤其喜欢最后聚众看碟的场景，大家先是正襟危坐，而后昏昏欲睡肚皮饿，揭示的真理是：爱情固然有神话性，但它亦兼有瞬时性，留不住太久的才美丽。导演在学校里学习、欣赏的就是费里尼的《爱情神话》，然后这么学院派的一个高贵的名字配上这部一个如此生活世俗的内容，十分有张力，四两拨千斤，就像好学生交出的一份模仿大师的优秀习作，结构精巧，工于制作，也能看出导演身上的大师天赋。
这是一部闯空门的电影，本身就有存在的价值。一星主要扣在音乐上，多，腻。看的时候一直在想两个问题。问题一，上海到底是谁的上海；问题二，老白到底是谁的老白。本片都没有回答，这是比较高明的。
难得一见的描写加拿大华裔群体的商业动画作品，完全以女性心理、女性成长&受规训压抑历程为中心，还有近似于母系氏族的设定也是亮点。红小熊猫的变身形象承载着生理、心理、家国、社会等多重隐喻义，遗憾的是实际展现时还是有些避重就轻，尽管做了大肆渲染但还是更多偏向于“人畜无害”的一面，特别是最后的代际和解略显简单轻松了（母女穿越时空的同龄交流恍若[小妈妈]变奏，这是和解顺畅进展圆满完成的关键，但这一复返青春重回往昔的设定突然在此出现，不免有些突兀和取巧）。除去这个问题，影片在视听与故事层面上还是相当好看的，尤其是精致的画面细节（如各种契合于2002年加拿大华人社区的物件，还有电子宠物）和经适度夸张后仍贴近青春期少女心理的言行刻画。镜子成为身份分离的界面。对日本动漫的致敬很可爱，竹林秘境光色动人。（8.3/10）
其实你跟你姥你姨儿搁堆儿加一块都比不上你妈万分之一熊，你那点少女怀春小叛逆不过是在洪荒熊力面前洒洒水啦🥲
认定了李小姐之后，就坚定的为对方付出，承包了接送孩子、辅导功课的任务，甚至提供住处，面对风情万种的野猫和有过感情基础的前妻，也没有改变自己的选择。
太难得了，这么文艺又这么生活化又这么细腻的国产爱情喜剧片不多了，虽然是中年人的爱情故事，但却很有共鸣，爱情只存在于神话里，老乌活成了神话
是上海市井生活的魅力，也是成熟男女呈現自己慾望、權衡得失的精準拿捏；都市離異家庭的二次浪漫成為市場的新寵兒，看來「愛情電影」的類型片也似野貓一般研究剩飯了。最後用小人物和大明星是否ons來感慨「神話」存在與否，麼得靈了。
我想，徐峥已经来到了这个人生中最好的阶段。
看了让人心情巨好的一部“爱情神话”。像冬天里的一锅热汤饭。导演用生活流素描笔法展现了新上海带点雅致和讲究的烟火气，上海的市井生活是有其独特生态的，尤其是新时代背景下的上海风貌，人们的说话方式、生活习惯跟我们印象中老上海石库门里的那种市井生活大不相同。那个一直爱吹牛的老乌、昨夜还坐在一起喝酒聊天的老乌，说没就没了，荒唐吗？可这就是中年人会遇到的命题啊，面对突如其来的死亡、变故、离别。这不是简单的致敬，这是将费里尼的精神融入电影了。给平凡的生活加点浪漫的佐料，有什么错呢？
圣诞最大惊喜，成功憧憬起44岁留着紫色头发抽着细香烟的日子，也唤起对上海最美好的记忆，中年和我的朋友骂骂咧咧的生活，希望到时间我也能有这么多艳遇哈哈哈，当然还要有一套自己的小房子，这样的日子，慢慢地过也很美~
灵。屏幕上他们轮流涂护手霜的时候，旁边的女孩也应景掏出了她的，我俩边涂变笑，是2021年度观影最可爱瞬间了。
行文非常的松弛和灵巧。捎带上中国男导演的道歉、手牵手的男人、乳化不乳化、自由的女人、美妆的儿子，这群人的一小步，中国电影的一大步。
只能说迪士尼没有心，这么好的片子不走院线走流媒体，真的是瞎了眼。观影过程每分每秒都被萌到，你可以永远相信皮克斯，用变身成可爱的小熊猫对应青春期的成长，最终成为自己想成为的人。真的好好看啊，狠狠的爱了！！！
不细究的话看着挺开心的。局促和做饭的部分最好，饭局对话略微生硬。再洋气的地儿，出现个叉着腰的保安，那就还是中国，可以多一点这样的部分。以及看完真饿啊，老白去B站做个美食博主肯定火…… 虽然上海女孩嗲，还是喜欢里头的北京大妞儿。半夜看完电影的北漂点了个烧烤，因为没有那么灵的点心可以吃😭
