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.
影片共鸣共情的地方真的太多，存在和虚无主义，唯物or唯心，爱与被爱，家庭纽带和独立，关怀牵绊还是放手，善良对抗暴力等等，瞬息间拨动心弦后劲实在太大，这是值得二刷三刷去玩味其中的奥妙。
Shhh... Just be a rock
8.杨紫琼，以往总觉得她长得苦演的苦，这次全靠她死撑
❤️唯一让我不太舒服的就是个人不太喜欢听口音很重的普通话，总感觉两个主演舌头都捋不直，听得我好累
好叙事，好构思，好设计，烂道理。并非糟糕意义上的烂，而是那种一眼能见到底的结局和核心情感。“如果什么都没关系就好了，什么都没关系，那些一事无成所带来的愧疚感和痛苦，就都不会存在了”，女儿从来没有真正觉得过“Nothing matters”，那是一种奢望，也正因为没有办法真正说服自己，才会被愧疚感和压力逼疯到想要自我毁灭。爱是后盾，爱也是细软的针尖，经年累月地刺痛着你，即使你清楚妈妈真的永远“I‘m always here with you”，但这并不能避免一个孩子一生都可能活在“爱”附带着的压力和惭愧之中，且这种痛感时常会超过幸福感。二刷觉得这个结局对于女儿来说反而更加为难，现下“劫后余生”的温情达成了暂时的和解，以后呢？下一个陷入拉扯的时刻，又会不会想到母亲的自毁式付出而陷入无尽的愧悔呢？
用丰富到泛滥的想象力讲述了一个东方式的团圆故事，用有限的经费把多元宇宙玩出了花。
看得我破口大笑，痛哭流涕…妈妈想不明白，但是妈妈奋不顾身要去每一个宇宙找你。故事gist真的很简单，但是怎么能这么飞这么炫…还很整全…太喜欢joy的长相身型了。杨紫琼太有灵魂了，简直想不出来如果不是她能是谁。想妈妈，想和妈妈一起看，为了妈妈也要好好活着。但我妈肯定：你看你就是我的讨债鬼～😭
抱歉。
我也想只做块石头，也想我妈放手，也想everything被吸进黑洞…
【3】Hyper Pop式电影。其实本该是漫威DC应达到的水平：高概念题材（多元宇宙），同时涉及现实映射（东亚家庭顽疾）和人物内在的转变弧线（自我价值实现）。结果A24做出来了，大概会是厂牌更加主流的一个里程碑，唯一的“独立个性”可能潜藏在那些成人向元素。总的来说还可以，陈词滥调里透出些新意，喜剧段落精彩纷呈，也喜欢片中的亚文化意趣展示和戏仿桥段，浸淫于互联网的Gen Z一代自然容易喜爱，感受上如同刷Tik Tok。不过仍觉得目前全球范围的好评程度过誉了，尤其岩石宇宙的处理真的很糟。
好像是荒诞科幻片，可是离生活那么近，那么温柔又尖锐，让人又哭又笑，然后更热爱一切。
乱糟糟，闹哄哄，一场游戏一场梦，两个石头两个蛋，扯吧。

疫情后最好的商业院线片。其实本质跟《信条》是一路的，用各种信息过载来营造奇观，内核却保守到可能连主创自己都没想明白，很多设定纯靠嘴说也绝非上策。但相比诺兰这种大片模范生，两位Daniel在A24的庇护下能玩得更cult，迷影梗应接不暇（就连丈夫的演员都是当年《宇宙追缉令》的副导演），130分钟亳无尿点更是优秀。最后，希望杨紫琼杀爆明年颁奖季。
2.美籍华人奴颜婢膝，明明中国进入2022年了，他们却仿佛被遗弃在旧金山上个世纪的唐人街里
前半段确实不错，多元宇宙的表现形式很新颖，后半段感觉玩儿脱了，说白了还是家庭伦理的内核撑不起如此庞大的外衣，各个宇宙的支线铺垫不足显得十分突兀，炫技的成分更多，总的来说更像一部神棍片
杨紫琼的角色也没有真的吃过苦，无论在哪个宇宙，都有人在精神和情感上支持她，就这一点她已经又跑赢了90%女性，她甚至都没有过真正的孤独。不知道，也许她有一些精神上的困扰吧，可以选择就医或找个正念教练。
人物的情感动机和行为逻辑都是垮掉的，支撑电影的是一地碎成渣的屎尿屁无厘头和炫酷特效，完全是好莱坞工业走到尽头的样子
我真的很爱这部电影，爱杨紫琼那种妈，爱这些穿越平行宇宙，爱百变女王joy，更爱死了贝果。但我真的不理解一个人穿梭了全宇宙且在每一个瞬间都感受到了同样的失望与压抑后悟出了nothing matters，还会被家庭流量套餐打败。我以为杨紫琼也是可以逃的，最爱的一段就是她发疯了一样开始砸洗衣机，脱另一个厨师帽子，一万次以为她们两个都可以终于摆脱不管东亚西亚报税亲情社会宇宙的规训成为两颗石头成为虚无成为永恒的对抗。但为什么be kind？我也相信爱的力量哈，但我只想说：逼你妈的kind！Just stop。一场关系的双方都要stop
剧本杀里有一种立意本，这个“立意”能帮不怎么样的情节变得有必要和有意义，本片胜在一个有共鸣的立意，但共鸣的未必是情感，而是大家此时希望呼吁的一些东西。如果一部电影的主角是女性是妈妈，那么她的最终的结果是必定要和解的，这是在这个命题下并不新鲜的东西，它用繁复精致的细节建造了一个迷宫，但就像小时我看见那些印刷在小小的一页纸上的再复杂的迷宫，也就是一页迷宫，危机只是被包装的很复杂，但主线上的危机，我觉得很草率，感觉还是子女想象的父母的危机，或者是一种卑微希望的东西。
