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.
我依然被这部电影打动了
单纯说电影，影像表达力度是不足的，但情感太充沛了，饱含热情，悲伤与焦虑，生日那天，如果我没事可做，就一个人二刷这部电影吧
那个大姐说的对，写自己熟悉的东西才能引起共鸣，不落俗套的歌舞片，看着各种转场衔接有点儿跳脱，回想起来却是很感动，大概就是音乐和艺术的魅力，以及加菲真是个宝藏男孩啊，没想到！
希望大家不要给自己太多压力
音乐密集到完全淡化了Jon的创作困境 女友和朋友完全是工具人的存在 并不能通过电影共情 （除了吵架那段是真的很上头 失去了对人物内里的挖掘 过多的曲目堆砌其实意义并不大...但加菲的表演还是很精彩！
到后期热泪盈眶，I have no time. I already 29.
一開始是吸引人的，即便是屢見不鮮的追夢故事，和對歌舞片形式的大膽創新，和《安妮特》走了一條不一樣的創新路線，再加上一首首好歌、一把把好嗓子，感覺是花了心思、誠意十足的。然而，越往下看，越讓人覺得形式大於內容，時不時跑偏一下，時不時又跑偏一下，就像是直白地告訴我，精力就沒花在重要的地方，所以，無論是追夢之路、情感關係、社會話題，都膚淺地撩一下就跑，充滿了急躁、匆忙的觀感。
用处理舞台剧的手法来拍电影，连带着加菲也用夸张式的舞台剧状态来表演，能感受到努力但也觉得有些用力过猛，基本也是全片观感的缩影。剧中剧的模式其实有些节奏上的割裂，尤其在于主线落脚点找不准状况下；稍微了解一下背景能被Jonathan的事迹打动，但片子内呈现的效果就很cliché了。
Actions speak louder than words.
看《吉屋出租》的时候就在想，得是灵魂多干净甜美的人儿才能谱写如此动人的曲？果然，作者拥有过残破而富足的天才人生。
this is the real life太难了，但坚持所爱本身就是意义
前面的剪辑一度难进入，后面渐入佳境，最喜欢的几幕是泳池的音谱和天台的想象。好像一只蜡烛啊，尽管短暂但拼命燃烧，发光发热。如果这样活过的话，也足够精彩了吧。
电影叙事几乎流水账，几处本可以爆发的点欠力度。AG还是更擅长内敛细腻情绪的把控，遇到外向型角色不够自然，我猜他研习过无数遍Larson的录像，模仿之力溢出屏幕。不过外形气质更贴的演员我也想不出来 叹气
好喜欢啊，一开场的30/90就抓住了我的心，因为我也刚好29岁，真的滴答滴答的声音一直在耳边响起，被时间被时间的观念所追着跑的感觉真的好强烈，每一幕都很流畅剧情和歌都配合的很好，对音乐剧多了一份好奇，是本年度最喜欢的电影之一。电影与音乐剧结合真的好好，加菲没想到这么能唱，能看出来为了角色准备了很多，演绎上我觉得是满分的答卷了。
音乐剧作家他的成功经历，看不懂核心那个东西，体会不到。没啥感触。有点像日本摄影师的故事浅田家，不知道他怎么火的。什么破电影，好电影不一定好看。吉屋出租首次公开演出的前一晚，男主35岁时因突发性主动脉瘤去世。看哭了几气儿。4.7分。
本大杂烩人……看过rent20周年巡演，对Larson略知一二，落实到影像上整个N次泪水在眼眶打转，基本上都围绕在音乐点上。加菲的表演也不蜘蛛侠，很ok！感动蔓延！
算是传记片，展示Jon的努力与挣扎，对于年龄和目前困境的焦虑，对未来的迷茫，对朋友、爱人离世离去的不舍，虽然塞进去“美国梦”跟同性恋的内容，但是不影响片子本身的质量，自我探索跟坚持是永恒的主题，不单单是“美国梦”才有的
老实说这一部在传统上并不是那种最后走向成功的电影，选择了拉森最失意的一个时期来拍摄，但是刚刚进入电影业界的LMM在镜头语言的运用上显然还并不算熟练，有一些地方因为太有舞台布景的既视感反而让我产生了一种“我要看这个为什么不去剧场看”的感觉，用一句话来说就是“全是真诚，没有技巧”。
第一次觉得安德鲁·加菲尔德是个那么有实力的演员，凡妮莎虽然在一些近景镜头中已经开始有点老，但一唱起来依然明艳照人。羡慕他们的演员有这么多的好机会去发挥和成长，像这种音乐一响世界尽在掌握的感觉，我在国产片里一次都没见到。还想说上次看到那么嗨的歌舞片还是《汉密尔顿》，然后就发现导演就是《汉密尔顿》的作者。
