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.
和扎导《正义联盟》横向相比，感觉2017年看的是一个假的正义联盟，扎导版删掉了很多漫威式打趣的东西。整个电影只有蝙蝠侠对着闪电侠的名场面这个笑点保留了下来，总体来说其实挺严肃的，以及，它包含了扎导对于家庭的一些个人的执念，角色小传放大令电影更加饱满，尽管这种饱满有些见仁见智。也不难理解华纳当初的决定，要把240分钟的电影放在戏院，这个比外星人入侵地球的概率还要低。慢镜头的Flash back又和闪电侠的“逆转时间”的慢镜头重复，显得有些多余。电影还有不少缺点，比如海王略显沉闷，存在感比较低。因为镜头限制，我也觉得这不是一个最完美的版本，也可以理解评价分化，因为对于路人观众，彩蛋这个加分项也一头雾水，过于正面的价值观也让故事一开始就失去了悬念。 / 2022.3.1 家, Piratic

需要遗忘对话。迷恋过去的...被迷雾遮盖的背景墙...）当我走进坐席,显得有些无措：侧着耳却什么都听不到、瞪着双眼却一片漆黑。不断变换的舞台与其说是美妙的幻影到处游走的地方,不如说是一个充满生机的场所：在这,真实的或接近真实的男男女女；以及观众,不会迷失于梦里。而是对着收音器发出了自己的声音。
3.5 新瓶挺好看 但新瓶装老酒怕不是老又老 被看模式下没有悲只有苦 有必要重复诉苦么…又不是祥林嫂 （可能是我期望太高😰？
剧本，配乐，演员的表演都精彩，几乎没有不好的表演，主角，店小二，邱福新的童年小孩，都太棒了。有两个不满意的地方，一个是文革那段的镜头和表演有点太“影视剧”，一个是导演的两次出场。特别是结尾出场可能对导演的身份来说很重要，但是有点破坏影片余韵，毕竟邱福新才是真正的主角，那些可能遗忘或者被遗忘的人才是主角。

I am not broken, and I'm not alone
看得出导演的才气，很多场与场情节之间的转换挺有意思，片子氛围营造的很成功，也挺会选角。
其实四年前两小时版基本要素都聚齐了。
今时今日，拍近代中国时间跨度超过50年的华语片，看到就赚到。
有生之年在大银幕看了扎导正联！和DC粉看真的氛围拉满，超人出来时候全场都在鼓掌！太激动了太激动了，小闪救人那段真的太萌了～虽然丑爷只出现了几分钟（且不是我印象中的形象）但是还是超激动！啊啊啊！是华纳配不上大DC～
#MoMI First, 很值得回味的电影，越回想越喜欢。喜欢导演从一个一个小的场景讲述时代的漩涡中的故事。很有话剧的特色，但又不会像《驴得水》的转场那么让人出戏。看完得知军阀团长的演员是导演的父亲。特别特别喜欢导演转场字幕背景的pastel，画的太有感觉了。很开心很感动，导演用慢慢的镜头，讲述一个长长的故事。
导演也是没办法的办法，要用一部电影把那么多新人物都铺垫一下，够难为他了。扎导目前为止是最适合DC的导演了。大超真的强！大本真的瘦！218319//大超戏份太少了，反派不够打的。以后扎导是不是不会再和华纳合作了？220314//
越看越爽，幸运的没看过院线版，钢骨的故事线很饱满，闪电侠明显是为电影作铺垫，调色和运镜完美，但仍补不上主线的枯燥
没想到看到了目前今年华语最佳，心满意足了~
三星半。不懂DC宇宙，只是很喜欢蝙蝠侠和阿卡姆那帮疯子。听闻小丑会出现，也怀着导剪版理应更加黑暗的预期，算是期待已久。前两个小时比较无聊，叫荒原狼的牛头人四处乱打的时候我又睡着了，老戈登出来开蝙蝠灯才提了个神。众人集结后开始好看一点，除了海王不知有什么用，其他人算是各显神通默契了一把，但也没脱出爆米花超英片的格局。群侠传式的超英联盟片为什么不好看呢，我觉得大概在于既然英雄力量倍增，反派就也能奔着外星人毁灭地球去以凸显极恶。但这些外星人长得又丑、品味又差、想象力还匮乏，只知道蛮力一通乱砸，阿卡姆随便出来一位做反派，都比他们会讲话有风格。人的故事才好看。好在最终总算有一个风格暗黑的尾声提气，虚焦里小丑拈着纸牌，在老爷不堪回首的往事上反复横跳，似乎又选择与他们一起对抗黑化超人。这是我期待的DC故事

故事丰满了，人物更立体，是有点燃。电影都上导剪版该多好
三个小时看完出来走在31摄氏度的新加坡街头，觉得温度刚刚好。
86/100 应是2020s年代前五的华语片水平。属于邱炯炯的《电影史》：从二三十年代默片（居然想到《将军号》）到革命样板戏…再到各种后现代的拼接，在手工影棚（美学风格部分离不开业内又非职业人员组成的工作坊的生产方式）里穿越大半个20世纪中国，同时电影又是借由肖像（个体）与空间（大环境）来穿越历史。电影在现实与梦境、生与死间跳转，人物在政治和艺术之间周旋，新的生发于旧的，旧的又因各种原因深埋于新事物之中，某一瞬间，才意识到封建时代的幽魂从未完全散去（像那个黄面蜡像）。一个核心张力在于，社会中所有新的变化，最终都多多少少在处理与过去的某种关系。喜欢合照那段似乎总是置身事外的坨儿对camera的“接管”——一段取景器内的黑白段落，提醒着观众面对历史的更换要始终保持警醒，这也是艺术间离的成功体现。
