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.
中间干细胞的桥段有点拉垮，如果只看做是一个理念，不深究现实性，那也还好。如果是科学爱好者…就容易会出戏。
“那段清晰而又绵长的记忆，是我这辈子最快乐的时光”
佐藤健这部怎么回事？全场枪毙鬼打扮颜值哪能介高？而且色气杀气拉满，真正被剑心五部曲耽误了。(羡慕戏里老阿姨好一把抱住佐藤健!)
今时今日，看到这样一部电影，真当过于合适了。一个良性社会，是要为最卑微的人强势托底，让他们别活活饿死在家中，拥有体面的生存方式，仅此而已。
资本主义国家的人就是懒，都想着靠政府救济吃白饭，官员的工资谁来发？不懂得996是福报，房价太低不利于人民奋斗
在3星和4星中摇摆，导演是减分项，赞美果耶！！！！
爱奇艺：开放式的结局，不知道可以永生不死我们为什么而活？有一个那样朋友不知道是好还是不好，可能那个朋友就只是活在你心里的他，而不是真的他了吧～
我不知道咋评价。别管在青岛、北京，还是布拉格，王朔笔下的女性都一个样儿：疯癫、不羁、放纵、文艺的大飒蜜。前半段有点意思，把这个爱情故事好好讲下去也成，后面莫名其妙成了干细胞广告。又想讲生死，又讲爱国，剪辑赶着去投胎一样，你他妈的到底想说什么。
老王，也是会老的，也会起夜；也会在睡不着的夜里，把年轻时的那一道道墙，悄悄地再翻一遍～
震后创伤和社会问题写得又硬又泛，推理是不存在的，结局非常索然无味
新意且神奇，但故事有点乱，王传君挺适合这样的孤独气质，王珞丹也能大张大合驾驭各种风格，旁白冗长和说教风格有些败笔了，不过总体来说还是不错的，如果能认真打磨剧本和细节应该能成为荧幕经典
3.5星。那些得不到保护的人，要发出自己的声音，要发出比那些卑劣者更坚定更理直气壮的声音。
震后创伤与社会保障问题引发的悲剧，情感上能理解却没有太好的表现出来，几个角色都很苦，最后黄色马甲串起来三人不知道是不是原著里也有，感觉有些刻意了。三星半，宽叔和砂糖都属于正常发挥，清原非常出彩。
哎，老了，真是看不得这种。结局没拍好，不然哭死，算是名副其实的过了个光棍节，吃狗粮。哈哈哈。 王传君略微有点出戏会联想到药神。 总体观感还是很不错的！
很喜欢中段，随着三条生命的逝去，缓慢，隽永，流长，仿佛自己也能感受到生命的流逝。后半段明显节奏过快了，整体过浮，还没让观众感同身受，剧情就又进入下一段了，有些可惜。
一直旁白叨逼叨也太无能了吧！我还不如看小说呢！
又是一部日本绝望系列电影，给那种不给别人添麻烦，不给社会和国家添麻烦的人刻画的很生动，像那个在电话亭住很多天的阿姨，电影里面感情比较真挚，但是整体元素不多，看到后面就会累，二倍速三倍速四倍速的往后希望剧情快速推进，不太推荐，没有特别的亮点
6.9 程序上没错，但为什么有人饿死？之前看《王冠》伦敦雾霾，这次看日本311加社会福利问题组合拳，总是恍惚如当下。狗头社会派，美剧手法，无限闪回，时间线乱跳，感情尴尬，如坐针毡。
“那场地震，就像一个怪物，我们无法抗衡……也改变了所有人的命运。”电影中的每一个人都与东日本大地震有关，虽然有幸存活，但是经受着亲人离世的痛。一起取暖挺好的，然而惠姨的死，再次改变了两个年轻人的命运。看到这里，白夜行在眼前飘过，看到最后，原来白才是那个黑。关于福祉的话题，有点韩国电影的味道，质问法律，公务人员成了压死需要帮助的人的最后一根稻草。然而，错又不能全怪他们。而惠姨的私心，却是万万没有想到的，倒不是说她利用了两个孩子，反正让人很不舒服。毕竟他们用各自的一生来守护那四个字，“欢迎回家”。
