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.
不过，当下除了文艺圈自嗨，又还能拍些什么呢？
Reality is not a Fellini's film. 没想到在一部华语商业片中还会以这种方式再次遇见费里尼 太绝了。
肯定会是最近看过的院线片最喜欢的一部，似乎又看到了从前老上海电影里的那种灵气，嬉笑怒骂，男女机锋，处处是埋梗、铺垫和映射，有种知识分子式的幽默感和国产片里少见的轻盈气质（音乐品味也非常可）。这部电影里有真实的女性，真实的欲望/爱情，还有一种非常理想化的生活状态。看似它也被包裹在了一些现实的鸡毛里，但这就是生活：如果六便士不存在，月亮也不会存在。
最后的上海人，拼尽全力守卫着法租界，守卫着最后的营垒天平路街道文化活动中心。
最后费里尼的《爱情神话》看的是盗版资源，就像当年电影学院经典电影赏析课上放的盗版《罗生门》一样，具有某种幽默感。
假模假样，侮辱智商。片中涉外形象（租户亚历山大、英国混血小女生）充斥着生造与漫画化，女性塑造甚至更为虚假不堪，全片散发着一种中年男心有不甘的性幻想气质。电影不忍卒观，后面剧情发展是家属告诉我的：徐峥的感情线没有实质进展，而自诩索菲亚罗兰前尘炮友的邻家男竟然受这位老女星在片场晕倒消息的刺激，酒后一命呜呼（！），身后被发现他的住房还真是欧洲人（暗指罗兰）出钱关照的（！！）。天方夜谭呀这是。徐峥父子戏还有点温暖的人情展现。其余如路边修鞋匠眼尖看出名牌高跟鞋售价一万多，并且出口就是英文长句，多属捏造，越显摆越暴露土劲儿。据一条，原来编导是才满30岁的九零后，外地人，剧本原先也是以普通话写的，年龄阅历不到，写中年人的感情世界还是隔靴搔痒啊。本来没想到是女生编导；所谓跳出男性凝视却落入女性脸谱化的窠臼。
3.5蛮轻盈的都市生活小品。影院坐了一半笑点低的上海阿姨，伴随全程方言评论音轨，恨不得进到戏里轧一角儿。
夸的人很多了，也确实经夸。导演意志强大，呈现在银幕上也就整体性强。拍出上海韵味，根底是拍出男女关系的现代性。电影是你进我退的探戈，韵律和节奏才是曼妙，特别要夸的除了表演，还有摄影，灵动又不抢，处处在又处处不在，很好。都说这部电影的女权意识，想想看一个类似的设定，把甜蜜蜜里的威廉做实了，而且索菲亚罗兰交关体面。
惊喜之作！清新、灵巧。从女性的视角讲爱情，很多观点输出戏谑又锋利。影片呈现出了鲜活的上海市井风貌。对白处处见机锋。颇有伍迪·艾伦电影的韵味。老乌的爱情故事堪称神来之笔，将遍布全片的细密日常一下盘活了，美妙，富有余味。甚至可以说，那些原本是主角的人包括徐峥马伊琍都成了戏剧意义上的配角，成了爱情神话的背景。爱情是什么？就像老乌的浪漫故事，似是而非，似真若幻，它是庸常生活里的光。结尾对神话又做了一重解构。对活在俗世里的人而言，一个邀约，一点庆幸，暧昧升温，神话降临，于瞬间照亮了琐碎而平凡的生活。
这是个什么片子啊为什么会这么高分 吐了 完全看不懂要表达啥 明明是个国语片结果全程看字幕 累死了 脑袋疼
五星好评里估计大部分都是上海人或在上海生活过的人。很久没有一部电影能够那么的有上海的米道了，情调也有，爱情故事也讲得好，金句频出，插曲配乐也赞，喜欢八仙饭店的吞吐这首歌。有几帧画面拍得很有质感，李小姐一头紫发对着窗口吞云吐雾，老白拿着高跟鞋在雨中行走，那是爱情暧昧的模样。这种感觉和《志明与春娇》很像，一部港味一部沪风，都是爱情佳作。原本以为这神话讲的是老白的爱情神话，没想到是老乌的爱情神话，作为电影角色我是相信这个神话的，相信老乌讲的是真的。唯一的败笔是老白的儿子居然上海话不太会讲，虽然90后这辈上海话是有点没落了，但也不至于这么洋泾浜，黄明昊功课做的不太够啊。
我觉得是今年最佳。多年以后，我想我也会津津有味地谈起看这部电影时的激动。是观影史中值得夹上书签的精彩一页。
这么好的电影，排片居然这么少，是因为上海话的原因？对于上海这个地方或者上海人本来挺无感的，结果片子一看，对这个城市甚至城市里的人一下子都有了立体的印象。与近年来并不少的女性群像电视剧不同的是，剧里的每个女人，除了有个性，有魅力，最难得的，是真实。三个女人每一个都达到了演员与角色的神奇统一，似乎那就是她们，美丽，诱人，但背后却有小虚荣，小任性，小心酸，可奇怪的是，不但不难看，反而更加的可爱。就像徐峥在电影中所说“我代表中国男导演向你们道歉”，确实，国内的导演们，真的该好好学学，如何发现中年女性的美与魅力，别再让这些可爱又鲜活的美人无戏可演了。
就是你们总宣传离婚以后更潇洒自在，还能遇上真爱，才有那么多人动不动就离婚。实际上离婚带着孩子的女人很难再找到共度下半生的另一半了。能找到的都是运气极好的。好男人都是被很多女人追着围着，中等的男人也是被伴侣抓的死死的，只剩下差等的男人单着。当然了，如果婚姻实在很痛苦还是要坚决离婚的。大部分的婚姻，我只想说珍惜眼前人。
满篇写着都是矫揉造作！
是爱情的神话也是电影的神话。
细节视角真的非常上海。老一辈男女沪语来来去去互相嘲弄，徐峥和马伊琍对话使用上海话，转向玛雅就瞬间切换回普通话简直是充满了每个上海父母的影子。我在家也接受着这样的区别对待，父母对话时仿佛就用上海话在他们周围支起了一个屏障，允许小一辈的我围观却不欢迎加入。导致我上海话一直很差，听得懂但是不会说，就像下一辈白鸽的台词大多都是在普通话里夹杂几句上海话。他应该和我一样共享着一个文化圈层，我们幼儿园的那个时期正好是全民普及普通话。现在和我一起工作的partner也是上海姑娘，但不会说上海话。能将沪语说出倪虹洁那般水平的，都是上个时代最顶尖最嗲最正宗而使我们现在这一辈不可仰望的上海女人。她一开口，我骨头都酥了。
一星给上海话，听着真是十分亲切，一星给三位女演员，一星给最后那一幕。这部电影按上海话说就是蛮灵的，但请男演员做好身材管理，我不想看三个女人围着猪头三转。
大大超预期，法租界市井又洋气，马伊琍终于不土味了一次，看到徐峥在画廊里给两位女性观众道歉的那段就知道一定是女导演，只有女性才懂女性！让徐峥作为男导演在大荧幕上给全国女观众道歉绝对是中国电影史上最女权的一次！费里尼的爱情神话是这辈子也不可能补了，意识流+古罗马古装戏普通人是无法消化的，怪不得连导演都要致敬式吐槽了。
腔调摆足就是下坡路也得顺顺利利。装模作样看费里尼看到打哈欠想吃夜点心。在进口商品小店挑来挑去。鲫鱼汤要只放点佐料还又浓又白。索菲亚罗兰是假的，电影也不需要真。年底了看到这么轻松开心的片子还是很满意！btw，老乌切咖啡讲起电影那段真的好像汤老师啊～～～
