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.
伍迪艾伦应该讲过类似的纽约故事，但是本片非常上海小资味。只是在一个西部山区小县城的影院里，全场只有我一个人。中年小市民不讲爱情，但也自有其情感，马伊琍那个高跟牛仔裤配上休闲衬衫打领带，简直不要太帅。
论日常生活能有多浪漫，论陷入爱情的人儿能有多可爱。这个片子值得叫上最亲密的人一起去看。另外，倪虹洁真的嘎灵，沪语真的嘎有腔调！
漂浮感，精致感，单薄感。太多个人的喜好穿插其中，边角的细节太多，女性的形象依旧觉得模糊。
没想到在年末看到了这样的电影。抓住了上海市井的灵，修鞋匠也要有coffee time。小超市叫红拂，咖啡馆叫夜奔，我们坐在洋房谈论罗马，却看不懂费里尼的爱情神话。
前半部分笑点很多，徐峥杵那里弄个表情就想笑。大家称赞的两场戏，餐桌上与画廊墙壁投影上的女性主义宣言都有种话剧感乱入之尬（因为是将更年轻点的小资亚逼故事移植到中年中产身上？中年人会这么讲话么？）；对于觉得老乌那故事最尬的观众，我们是否可以理解成是有意经营的荒诞，尤其是他死亡的缘由。开头话剧名字的自嘲就很好笑，所有人除了吃穿讲究睡来睡去并无展现多少“艺术涵养”，一张dvd进去，野鸡字幕组免责声明飘出来，看到困觉不如涂护手霜；国际学校校车反复停，“我在推特上看到”，“八九年出国留学”，“你外公留下的房子”。而最“悬浮”的正是这个，在一团和气的片子里唯一差点显出地域歧视的老乌，写着满是病句的策展语，念叨着早已过时的风流韵事，爱惯浪头，但精神与物理居所都脆弱地仰赖他者，一副老灵的肌肉下喝点酒就能一脚去
皮克斯的本事是总能把一些“鸡汤”式的人生哲理转化成极富创意的视觉概念，这部动画也是如此。
那一夜，三个完全不同的女性围坐在一起，听老克勒讲年轻时的爱情神话，被这个不知真假的故事感动到流泪。哪怕是已经过了会为一张素描动心的年纪，哪怕爱情终究属于神话，哪怕人到中年生活中最重要的是护手霜和小点心，可看一部糟糕的电影，也还是会悄悄喜欢。
处处可见导演小心思 艺辉学校 红拂 夜奔
🐕💨
虽说人未到中年，但也已不再年轻，对于电影传达的东西，能体会到一些。现在想在电影院找一部能让人“舒服”的电影，已经很难了，不应过分苛责。
非常好，属于从头到脚让人忍俊不禁的那种好，虽然很多手法都是别人用过的，依旧不落俗套，可能是因为台词太好盖住其手法。欢笑中带泪，如果泪点不落在老友的死，而落在某处莫名其妙的高妙地方，会更好。那么有“爱情神话”吗？马伊琍说我不信，徐峥说老乌是神话，我是笑话。结尾处导演还是给了一线新芽，这就是文艺作品的宽容和所谓的存在的“意义”，叫人绝境逢生，而不是平地求死
终于看上了！但我不知道为啥这么多辣妹要搞一个我爸
好看啊，文青最喜欢的那一卦，灵，有腔调。几个细节：
小神话。市井，烟火，小资，文艺，腔调，味道，很上海。但很小的面向，方方面面都过于干净、美好了一些。
说实话有点没太看懂导演主要想要表达什么，但剧情片来说也算是中规中矩吧，有些小的点还是能get到的
3.5 刚开始看不进去越往后越好看，到最后脑洞创意大爆发，画风在美式动画中混搭了一丢丢日漫风还挺有趣，对于皮克斯电影来说是属于定位偏低龄的那类。
3. 副食店取名红拂，这是导演曾经用过的网名的前两个字，里边人物毕业卖电子烟等情节也是导演自己的经历。
全程风味沪语已值四星。其余那有惊无险、偶有波澜的法租界生活，必须要在武康路置业后才能略略咂摸一二了吧，当然抖点小机灵，“celebrate”一下新女权也不是什么坏事，总体在中国电影市场上也算一股清流了。
祝我早点找回上海的工作，我要回家，我要回家。
有了资本和地位以后，在中国这个商业化严重的市场中也能拍点自己想拍的。就值得多一星。电影的整体感觉就是差点意思，但又觉得难能可贵。影片最触动我的是，所有主要角色，都没有大名。敬我们的白老师，李小姐，格格瑞亚，老乌。
