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.
头好晕。最后还是变成家庭和解。只是我的内心仍然是那个疯狂嘶吼着：“一切都不重要”的青少年，想把一切都丢进bagel黑洞里，没人能拯救我，也请不要拯救我orz当电影情节走向圆满，作为观众的我被抽离出电影世界了，这个超能力的解决方式来得太轻飘飘了，把我的共情全都打碎。(网友们还请高抬贵手，别给我点赞叻谢谢
为了更加准确地评价这部电影，我特意阅读了近100条短评，3条长评，3个解说视频。首先必须承认我的观影体验并不好，甚至有一些痛苦，信息的大量过载超出了我大脑的认知能力，同时文化隔阂以及似懂非懂的剧情也在挑战着我的耐心，再加上超过2个小时的片长，熬夜观看更是一种煎熬，但是看完大量尤其是视频解析后同样要承认电影的独特价值的。当然8.8分的开分以及可能被引进的谣言确实给予了我错误的期待，但是当通过视频了解到电影所承载的各种内容细节后，还是非常佩服主创们丰富的想象力和超强的表现力的，尤其是对于存在主义、虚无主义的探讨是让我所感兴趣的，现实生活是混乱的交织，而那些愚蠢的东西正是重点。另外，虽然电影评价本身私人的，自由的，但是看了不少人的短评，感觉完全是基于一种非常模糊的认知在撰写，其表达逻辑并不通顺。
这是让人重新感受到电影的美好和伟大的那种电影！
希望在石头宇宙，一起坠落吧。
披着东亚的皮，核心还是美国人的情感价值，隔靴搔痒
只有中国式家庭会如此纠结憎恶羞耻于子女是同性恋？anyway，全片最爱的就是那两块安静的石头。
平凡主妇逃出躯壳，平行宇宙如同cosplay，砍瓜切菜脑体开挂，眼花缭乱love&peace。剪辑和节奏好像怪怪的，闷闷的，有些凌乱的感觉，没爽透。
❤️说一下我看到的一些小彩蛋，这部电影致敬了好多大片☺️光是我看到的就有《花样年华》《银魂》《2001太空漫游》《内陆帝国》
以假陽具和肛塞解構異性戀氣質和父權威嚴；
脑洞片，内核框架跟turning red很像：强势老妈+无能老爸+叛逆女儿，介于难看和诡异之间，全程内心“淦、真几把怪，再看一眼”
观感很好，脑洞很大，我一直着迷的every母题呈现得很好。但用爱为借口去粉饰认命，用和解去认同回归中对自我的抹杀，完全是一种美化后的旧路，并没有人真的得到自由和自我。
10.美国越来越拉了，以前移民，追美国梦！现在…不移民，祖父悖论闺女就没了
看了5天才看完，豆瓣推出负一星吧，只有负一星才能治疗我看这片尬出的内伤，脚趾抓地把家里的地板都抓坏了
妈的多重宇宙，这个翻译多好啊，看完这部电影再多的语言也只能化作一句“卧槽”，实在词穷了，妈的真好看！天马行空都不足以形容这电影。
可能只有香蕉人会感动，毕竟伟大的白人眼里终于有他们了。
这个故事中母女关系的部分我始终不能共情，这对母女没和解之前的状态，已经是很多母女努力尝试解决后的状态了。你都能和你妈出柜了，你已经赢了90%的女儿，我一个要饭的乞丐根本共情不到有钱人对食物的抱怨。
以複製父親的不信任和打壓轉移到對女兒的不信任和打壓，解構儒家思想對華人家庭的影響；
不喜欢前面它玩的大部分花招，除了变石头的那个够“大道至简”，其他的对我来说太无厘头了些。最后有被缠绕的情感关系煽到。母亲说，如果我没有私奔会更好。女儿说，如果你没有生下我会更好。她们一定是这样又爱又恨的状态，控制、依赖、焦虑通通指向那个不敢面对失败的、懦弱的、自卑的、害怕被抛弃的自己。但这种煽情同样让我感到愤怒。对我来说母女关系就是一滩烂泥沼。爱的尽头也不是理解，是绑架。所以果然还是应该选贝果啊！
显而易见，不是多重宇宙，而是多重类型电影。虽然没什么意义，但又是一部让我感受到深处彩蛋与戏仿文化占据主要位置的时代的电影，《头号玩家》如是，《新蝙蝠侠》也如是。这么一想，进入西部片（而非真正的西部世界）的《回到未来3》总算回到了属于它的未来。
杂乱至极，毫无美学…是怎么做到把东亚家庭亲子关系叙述成如此点到为止的禅意感的…又不是功夫
