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.
剧情的衔接，丰富的情感，旧角色新演员，老对手新反派。既有对过往彻底地颠覆，暗中又隐
故事走向虽然都能预测到，但是好久没看这种能让人放松的片子了，五星！
一个字俗，剧情俗到家了。但是一个好人为什么不能得到上天的眷顾，电影不就是我们在现实无法得到的一种心灵寄托嘛，所以电影俗正好与我现在的的心静不谋而合，这也是我给5星的原因
2，黑色皮肤女特设置无意义，太工具人，重点都没赶上。
女主很漂亮，要不是女主漂亮我真撑不过这虚假向上的两个钟。
意外很不错啊 里面的女性都好棒 前妻也很不错啊 I want to be some who feels like he deserves the best. 关于外婆的那一段致辞 哭裂了 发展中国家且行且珍惜 都好苦 Vincent不知道是不是表演过度有点零里零气的不太像直男
比原作更有意思，演员演技真的太棒了，很舒服的电影
女主的眼睛可真好看。
虽很有美国式政治正确的电影，不过很开心的喜剧
结局给我哭的稀里哗啦，准确的说，从邦德去墓地看林德女士的时候，就开始掉眼泪，过去的时光一瞬间全回来了。
看到没空去死，还以为有多紧凑多激烈，结果剧情拖拖拉拉夹带着煽情160分钟，时间充足地去死了。
确实可以嘲讽看不上这种白人女明星和洛杉矶底层普通幸福西班牙裔中年大叔cp的政治正确翻拍项目，把它当成美国民族大融合主旋律宣传片也还还不错。但确实是演员剧本节奏导演各方位都挺不错的商业片。
只有文森特受伤的世界达成了~
上次看演富翁的演员电视剧居然一查已经是是2011年的事了
无暇赴死这个译名有种996社畜的哀鸣感……
05.17 AMC 点映. 第一次在国外看喜剧电影好好笑哦！国内什么时候可以有这种笑点流畅丝滑的喜剧哇qvq
无暇赴死，有空煽情。铁金刚系列最差，毫无卖点。除了标志性的片头MTV之外，看不出有哪场戏是非保留不可的，包括动作戏，160分钟砍掉一半时长正合适。至于说“为情谢幕”，恐怕安在情圣杨过头上都嫌不尊重智商，何况邦德这种花花公子。复联还有个“平行宇宙”设定遮羞，像007这种银幕摇钱树拿“死”来赚眼泪，真比直接说资本家不爱钱还搞笑。唯一的亮点是古巴女郎安娜，比女主更像邦女郎。
对不起 丹尼尔克雷格的007我每一部看的都很困。。。。。
挺好看的片子，搞笑的地方很好笑，煽情的地方也让人掉泪，最后也没有强行happy ending，但是这样的结局比俗套的结局更好，每个人都可以开始追求自己想要的生活，值得打4.5
看的很感同身受，邦德一个打工仔，他想要休息，但他休息的时候只会感到空虚，他只有死了才能停止工作
