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.
陀螺赔大钱 我为陀螺打call 不是因为陀螺是自己银 是因为我看盗版没花钱 不过跟原作比这片儿确实差点意思 只是表面的东西翻新了 inside的东西反而缺失了 几场关键戏Cooper的演技都是整段垮掉和鲍华根本没法比 这哥们太暖了真演不了坏人
三星半。整体的气质我很喜欢，骗术的徜徉，像散步一样美好。后半段的展开部分还是做得十分老套，虽然角色做了一定的调整，但不是用一个我认为很当下叙事的气质与节奏去进行后半段的诡计部分，它仍然是沿着原作逻辑而来。我个人认为一个比较大的问题在于演员，托妮科莱特演得很好，但被浪费，是我我会冒险的将她和切糕合二为一来进行改编。布莱德利库珀要为本作的缺陷负伤一定的责任，前后半段的冗长完全是由于他的表演造成，他塑造的人物几乎没有变化，而本身这个人物恰恰是历经了翻天覆地的外在+内心的双重的矛盾的变化，时间不仅对他发生了作用，还产生了十分微妙的值得探索的纵深感，至于鲁妮·玛拉我认为她已经流露出来的不是女孩茉莉的气质了，她不是卡罗尔里的那个人间小鹿了，她在勉强塑造，但并不自在。
Cooper is forever a small small man, yes, we know! 最后的born for this收得不错
哈哈哈
这么豪华的豪华卡司，拍出这样的成品……建议直接睡一个小时从大魔王出场开始看，头一个小时太无聊了。期待的魔兔重逢更是世纪大骗案……
嗑死我了 但是真的剪的稀碎 动画表演啥的真的也很好
习得魔术用来与亡者通灵，诊疗病患用来窃生者之私。以为是用看穿的戏法告慰生者，却送了他们了断的子弹。佯装满手鲜血的表演解脱活人，却成了封印在甲醇里死婴的标本。试图扭转倒吊人先兆的塔罗，却还是逃不掉成为嗜血怪胎的命运。若能记得老头死前的忠告，就不会相信自己捏造的谎言，在夜路一去不回。
墨西哥三杰:
好烦父子的故事线就消失了。而且男主这种有点小聪明又下得了狠手的人怎么会有这种结局啊，大魔王的角色有点莫名其妙。两个半小时？可怕。
德尔托罗的这部新黑色电影风格虚无、略显压抑，第一幕用色调和各类视觉元素（如多次使用虹膜镜头）致敬早期默片，之后则回到他最爱的二战前后年代。本片的摄影、美术、服化道都水准颇高，片中的嘉年华场景让人印象深刻，但人物塑造颇为薄弱，比如鲁妮玛拉的角色非常苍白，布兰切特的角色更是没能有机融入叙事。影片中心围绕在男主角的心理活动上，确切地说是围绕在他如何面对自己装神弄鬼的骗术上，不过影片并非纯粹基于逻辑和事实，也有意滑向神秘主义。影片最大问题在于，在男主角做出结尾的重要决定前，影片既没有进行充分的戏剧铺垫也没有完善的心理描写，导致影片的结局显得生硬、刻意，难以与迷人的第一幕媲美。
演技派明星堆砌起来的警世寓言，有点不合时宜的味道。前半段马戏团情节，导演再次使出华丽怪诞的美学风格，相比之下后半段转向大都市的黑色电影情节便显得生硬尴尬了。从塔罗牌到读心术，再到通灵术，你可以欺骗全世界，却骗不了自己，因为你内心就是一个怪人。首尾呼应的结构展现出一个怪人诞生的历程，暗中与主人公大起大落的命运契合。
47版当然也有自己的问题，但作为黑色电影，47版戏剧冲突完整性弥补了剧情不足，出色的表演压住了台面。原有可延伸主题：神化-兽化、宗教先知形成要素，欺骗的心理优势与反噬 ，在新版里一一被弱化，潦草许多；本片增加了Molly、老板细节，却丢了算命夫妇的弧光，尤其是关键人物Pete，让主角的操控和悔恨逻辑换了个方向，“never”一词是在暗示Pete算半个精神父亲吗（火与酒），那么欺骗或杀害老人或许源自于弑父情节，这就是另一套逻辑了（本片主题本来就很乱很多）。至于情感断层就懒得说了，陀螺做了一些圆滑设计，但关键时刻感情渲染总是不到位，老太太开枪把我吓到了，就，强行制造黑色氛围呗
我还是很喜欢的，可能我对陀螺的期待本来就不在叙事而是在视觉。BC的演技真的不太好评价，感觉他进入了一个演什么都好像没演的怪圈。大魔王还是一如既往的帅，小白兔也不再是傻白甜。虽然通不过贝克德尔测试，影片里的女性角色还是刻画得不落俗套，人物动机很独立。
没有看过原版，觉得还挺好看，比较传统的剧情片。马戏团各种奇技也是一门失传的艺术了。吃鸡男的造型明显是来自Goya名画Saturn Devouring His Son😄
怎么说呢，这就是那种肯定不差，但是绝对没有好到可以拿奥斯卡提名的电影，而且自从上一部水形物语之后，对于陀螺的装逼和鸡贼实在是越来越反感了，白白浪费了那么美的大魔王#2022奥斯卡阅片倒计时#
第一段（影片前60分钟）从功能性上它仅能作为第一幕但又如此之长（甚至托尼科莱特那个角色完全浪费掉了），紧接着到了城市又是叙事铺垫，因此就显得特别冗长无聊，但其实本身单拧出来是好看的，只是放在整个结构中显得不太合理。除此之外还真挺喜欢（甚至多过水形物语），尤其是影片过半后节奏滚动起来完全就看进去了，结尾收得特别好。
是非常老派的故事，可能和大家的预期不一样，布莱德利和凯特布兰切特的对手戏没有多少，这剧情也不太有明显的高潮，但是我挺喜欢的，跟原版一样讲宿命论，讲人生的起起落落，比原片还多了弑父的原罪、从一开始就交代了geek一直到最后轮回呼应，改掉了当初为了上映弄出来的画蛇添足大团圆结局
魔兔都没什么对手戏，路透照骗得我好惨（是被剪掉了吗？
布兰切特和库珀的心智斗法看得我如痴如醉，尤其最后摊牌那里两腿一软差点给大魔王下跪。其他没啥可说的，陀螺的暗黑风格很适合拍人心鬼蜮的故事，就是有时候氛围过于诡谲拉高了期待，直接导致假高潮...
1）有点《The prestige》的感觉 Christian Bale也更符合男主气质 主要Cate太妩媚太邪恶了 男主根本hold不住 2）新版结局很好 Toro一定也get到了不要人间大团圆的烂尾好 3）和旧版相比增加很多detailed 导演对故事的解读 有好有不好 4）重头部分是医生reveal部分 很是明白Cate为什么会接这一部 为的就这场 5）虽然违背原剧本 但更愿意看到一个女医生和患者妻子背后联手 然后卷款跑路的陌路狂花结尾 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 Aka魔兔再续前缘 Toro真是 既然都在一个片场了 加几组镜头不过分吧
