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.
另外，当影院的灯暗下来，电影却没有那么容易进入，导演仿佛急于把自己的巧思呈现给观众，镜头破碎，脉络并不连贯，影响我沉浸。
片中马伊琍、吴越、倪虹洁饰演的三位女性，性情不同，各有代表性，但都有程度不同的现代底色。从女性角度来看，这片有值得探讨的地方。对于影迷，专属梗不少。片名、片子的确和费里尼那部《爱情神话》有千丝万缕的关系。承担女神符号和欲望投射对象的，是意大利国宝女星。
观感很舒适，没有刻意抖机灵也没有狗血爱情，几个主角之间的人物关系戏剧却有说服力，而且好几段台词我都忍不住感叹写得太妙了，尤其喜欢片尾那种故事仍在继续的感觉，让我好像也融入进他们的生活里参与了他们的聊天一样，真是难得的体验
老乌口述与索菲亚罗兰德韵事，我的心情就和在一旁听着的Gloria一样，一时不知道是真的还是假的，该哭还是该笑。果然都是满嘴跑火车的生物群体啊！
中国人都向往的中年生活：咖啡、话剧、画廊、费里尼，太灵了。
出乎意料，居然真的能在过俗和装逼之间找到了一个平衡点，把上海小男人的中年危机拍的趣味盎然，无奈和心酸都很克制但又能传递到位，台词写的尤其好，确实有《繁花》的味道了。影片里的上海不是现在的大上海，而是上海人的小上海，没有高楼大厦，只有小街小巷小弄堂里的咖啡馆和家务事，确实精致。几个主演演技都了得，除了唯一拉胯的黄明昊。
这导演不会以为自己的选歌水平很高吧？
徐峥拎着马伊琍的jimmy choo，走过下着雨的小街，这很上海。
这哪里拍的是角色与故事，这根本拍的就是城市与气质啊：遥远与身边，梦幻与日常，浪漫与朴素，炉灶炊火中升腾起一缕布尔乔亚的轻烟，吴侬软语道不尽生活百态。
最出彩是睡了索菲亚罗兰的林教头
3上海有这种腔调的修鞋匠么 真实么 你告诉我 在哪
从爱情片来看，有天真，有成熟。成年人可能不那么相信现实里有爱情神话，但碰到爱情的坑，躲也躲不过，断舍离不管用的。成熟带来包容，包容带来多元，多元爱情观的碰撞挺有意思。身为地域电影，上海故事，上海演员，上海风情。就像是爱情片但不限于爱情，这片地域色彩浓烈但风味也不局限于上海。
中年小时代。极其虚浮，看得我全程翻白眼，尬到如坐针毡。以及与女性主义无关，这是披着撒娇糖衣的男性视角电影，男人撒撒娇，装装深情，往后让一让，女性说一些俏皮话，就以为女性发声了，太他妈可笑了。请给郭敬明道歉。
一个只在上海成立的故事。想不到年底了还出来一对王炸影片，喜剧之光和国漫精品双子星闪耀。
原来大陆能拍出这么好笑的饮食男女片啊，简直超出我的想象了。既不沉重也不轻浮，它就是刚刚好，看了会心一笑。
哈哈哈哈這也算女性意識覺醒片，貴寶地的獨立女性真好哄，這個結構是做什麼清朝書生直男白日夢，居家適用老實懦弱的藝術大師，懷才不遇無心出名歸隱市井教群眾畫畫，然後有兩個大美女自己衝過來來跟他一夜情，先雌競一番然後再一起免費實現他藝術夢想，一個跟他過日子，一個分得乾乾淨淨，最後感動得一塌糊塗的神話是一個中國男人睡了西方大明星。這個結構我見過很多，聊齋。作者寫一群大齡manic pixie dream girl形象，然后自己寫文說，男主是她的分身，她作為一個第二性，分身出一個第一性，為自己和同胞的冒犯感到羞愧。當然她說的意思是男主羞愧，but yes，you should be.
看之前被逐场讲过加上看过两年前最早的梗概，以为都没有惊喜了就看个完成度，攒这么久终于看了没想到还是有。如果说倚窗抽烟的紫发马伊琍贡献了迄今为止银幕最美形象，并被大家念念不忘，那在傍晚在阁楼上打鼓的徐峥可能也是迄今为止最干净自然的形象了。女性主义，作者气质和独立精神之外，最好的一点是知道自己在拍什么的掌控力，最难达到的是表面轻盈之下能把一个东西在多年精心打造中还能牢牢抓住精髓的能力。性别和阶级选择性别，并很稳很准打到点上。担心过影像和调度问题，影像造型层面很好，而调度，不懂表演但选择地用一些厉害的演员表演巧妙掩盖，非常好，同时演员们又增加许多商业效果，聪明巧用啊。
千万不要被片名劝退，反而你看完电影后还会觉得片名非常有意思，因为电影竟然埋了一个很大的电影致敬梗，也算是含有很重的电影元素了。或许这也是不少人愿意给出很高评价的原因之一吧。结尾确实回味无穷，很有感觉，看完之后不禁百感交集，产生很多感慨。这里不得不提一下周野芒，曾经饰演水浒英雄——林冲的他，这次演起上海老克勒也是游刃有余啊，特别富有韵味，让我印象太深刻了。至于徐峥、马伊琍、倪虹洁、吴越也都演技在线，沪语飚起来真的很爽，或许因为长期在上海工作生活的原因，所以看的时候会有额外的滤镜吧，熟悉的街景，熟悉的味道，熟悉的梗，算是魔都电影的典范之作了。至于电影所探讨的那些话题，如今已到而立之年的我也有了更多的体会，爱情这个东西呀，真是玄之又玄。也借这部电影，祝福自己吧。唉😔
这电影是还蛮灵的。吃咖啡吃香烟吃老酒，住老洋房逛杂货铺小酒吧，构建出一种互联网式的上海生活，虽然经不起推敲，但确实拍出了一种轻松的味道。这种轻松甚至可以说是带有一点优雅，而不卖丑的搞笑还挺高级的。在细枝末节的地方融入了巧思，索菲亚·罗兰、《爱情神话》、红拂夜奔，以及一闪而过的同性恋人牵手，可以看出导演是用心地把自己的生活放进去了。这种相当私人化的表达，在国内院线片还算挺稀缺的。从一定程度上来说，终于有人用伍迪艾伦拍纽约的方式来拍上海了。
和平影都，4.0分。能理解多种反应，但也觉得这么轻快松弛的片子，也没必要背负那么多使劲儿解读（还是太文以载道了）。导演多少是聚焦在一个privileged world（土著、洋楼、编制、涉外婚姻、早期留学生，高度自洽也放弃了经济文化事实的代表性）；但邵艺辉目光是坦率、轻松、温和与细腻的，在这片合成的、相对空旷到可以谈情说爱的空间里，她让所有人处在爱说爱做、却又难以承诺的暧昧里（某种程度上，爱情在这里才是神话，而非工具或扯淡）。最喜欢老乌这条线，感觉到邵艺辉的敏感，老乌（的市民气质及他的神话般的故事）像像是一个本地化了的小神龛，属于那些国门重开后重叠旧梦新章的“世界/上海”叙事的早期信徒；也许错误、也许可笑、但他们真诚且存在；周野芒也演得很不错。
