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.
大片儿底色下缺乏更多的巧心构思，未走出流水线窠臼。家人，恋人，师友，串起二三事。影片或是历史影像片段里，年代人与事的浮光掠影总是最添趣味。但人生历程，所选节点，成长渐变的感觉比较模糊。张国荣相关情节的加入缺乏克制，不够必要。还是太过商业气包裹的作品，看过后想不起梅姑，忆不起真情
90年代的香港好在哪？可能其中一种魅力就在于这部电影所呈现出来的色彩：温暖、昏黄、复古而又柔情。暖色调的氛围感，适合回忆、更适合梅艳芳的歌声。所以大家都说这部电影高度还原。其实看过这部电影之后，我觉得片方的用心，不仅在于对梅艳芳的尽力还原，更在于对那个特定年代氛围感的刻画，是如此传神。
梅姐和哥哥的魅力在于自在，洒脱，真，没有人演的了他们，或者说他们没法被演。
【2021/11/12with老妈】老妈说是今年在电影院里看过来最享受的一部电影。和张国荣的酒吧初遇拍得很棒，张国荣去世后她的自白也令人潸然泪下，而更让我们感动的是，当时已是癌症晚期的她，坚持开演唱会为医护人员加油，也坚持举办最后一场演唱会，坚持自己亲口说出「byebye」这句话。
王丹妮作为第一次出演电影的演员演得相当不错了，而且她和梅艳芳在外形上也有部分相似，尤其是嘴唇。只是她演的比较柔弱，没演出豪爽仗义的那一面，当然，这也许是剧本的问题。
整个电影看得我真的很不舒服，梅艳芳、张国荣都不是我熟悉的样子，梅艳芳可爱有余，但那种气场、力量和果决是不足的。张国荣就更不用说了，哥哥的风韵是一点没有展现出来的。整个剧情很稀碎，不知道拍摄那些桥段是要表达什么。梅艳芳的挚友们拍出来也让人觉得微妙，非常不舒服。电影不好看，但喜欢梅艳芳。
好像什么都说了，又好像什么都没有说。一切发生的事情，就好像在昨天
开头还行，后面逐渐流水账了。不了解史实不做评价。女主挺不错，Leslie的选角认真的吗？确实感觉到对他的死的消费。一些按头emo略不适。
香港女儿。突然发现她也已经去世快20年。。。作品人物形象还不错，除了演张国荣的那位实在不敢恭维。本身拍得并不算太好，更多还是流水账吧，不过几个重点时刻还是抓住了。作为小时候憧憬的人物，看得真是好唏嘘。当年那个星光璀璨，要艾敬唱“香港香港怎么这么香”的地方，也早就物是人非，不复光芒了。。。
不曾邂逅她的时代，仍动容于她的故事。演员有些镜头真的蛮像的，表演算及格吧。影院爆哭的一人🙋🏻♀️
拍得很劣质。好几处看得我流泪，但那是为梅艳芳，不是为《梅艳芳》。
梅艳芳：你拣错歌喈，香港地，有边个唔系嗌出来嘅？净话个场滴客，已经好斯文噶啦，我又唔信阿sam未比人hurt过喔。喂，我同你，一定可以去到红馆开演唱会嘅，总之呢，你开，我做你嘉宾，我开呢，你要做我嘉宾嘎。喂不过讲明先哈，唔准收钱嘎。
天妒英才如梅艳芳和张国荣，可惜被拍得过于流水账了，四星全给人物原型。
所以也就只能听听歌，可为何不回家自己边看录像边听歌？
3、喜欢结尾的星光字幕，讨厌片头的花式主演字幕
传奇一生，虽然在情感上不专一，艺术却是巅峰。
张国荣：听讲红馆可以坐一万人，全亚洲第二。知唔知亚洲第一系边啊？（梅艳芳摇头）日本武道馆，万四人。山口百惠个告别演唱会，就系果度开。
今天的香港娱乐圈竟然凑不出钱拍梅姐。
看的五集导演剪辑版。情怀牌，流水账，更像是加了真人模仿秀的纪录片，不过这样倒是铺展出了一点香港由盛而衰的历史感。
