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.
除了凯奇扮演凯奇以及时不时调侃一下自己拍过的电影，电影就是个三流快餐网大。尼古拉斯凯奇这块情怀招牌还能消费多久？
其实是很套路的电影，只不过让凯奇去演凯奇算是比较新颖的点，还有，我会去看帕丁顿熊2的
如果特别特别崇拜喜欢尼古拉斯凯奇，那你一定会像磕嗨了
封面拍得这么飞，实际还不如妈的多重宇宙。You are so not back.
Cagexploitation. Messing around is OK. But the final act is fucking stupid and cringe like hell. They break the character.
“Oh……这是没有办法回答的问题，因为电音时长的百年，你不可能只选一部，这取决于你的心情，天气……”
凯奇近年来最正式的电影，中年演员的危机，但也并没有那么惊艳，凯奇想要翻盘，必须去演欧洲文艺电影在戛纳获奖，否则跳不出商业片过期演员的魔咒，电影本身就是一部能够看得懂的凯奇好莱坞往事，比昆汀的好莱坞往事要好看，昆汀拍那玩意想走文艺路线，但拍不出老无所依的感觉，结果是画虎不成，观众不知道看什么，一切都像戏中戏的感觉，什么也连贯不起来，而这部好莱坞往事就比较连贯，尽管没拍好莱坞，但是每个点都在说好莱坞曾经的辉煌，这个剧情出了家庭和危机之外的套路，也是好莱坞经典套路，还可以吧。
挺好玩的。其实我还挺喜欢曼蒂的（这是能说的吗）。卡里加里博士的小屋真的很好看的！！！！
想法不错 算是美国版的自成一体的自己致敬自己了 凯奇叔也算是临老高光了一把 虽然选的电影都有点cherry-pick 但想法算是不错的了
故事走向好莱坞套路好似凯奇20年前的《改编剧本》
基治本是个好演员，毁于烂片。他还能焕发第二春吗？
讲真有点失望，以为会是疯狂的洒狗血用烂梗来调侃自己，结果有趣的部分其实并没有想象中多，几乎预告片里全都剪进去了。其余的部分优点四不像，也不知道是要表达温情还是想做什么。剧情本身是极不合理的，属于仍需打磨，目前的成品质量放到喜剧片的架构里还是有很多问题。
把CIA线砍掉，就演狂热粉丝和过气偶像叙旧喝酒，再把凯奇为了还债接过的烂片吐槽一顿就很好看了。
作為凱吉粉算是滿意，致敬與當中幾個讓他情感流露的點都不錯，但片中最令我驚豔的是片頭大銀幕放的空中監獄片段，小時候一直在電視看的我，看到那一幕的瞬間真的很想他直接把空中監獄整部放一遍。
什么子弹横飞西班牙海边的鬼故事哈哈哈哈？要不是凯奇叔叔这片早垮了。
3.5星，希望凯奇大叔借此事业大翻身，《国家宝藏3》抓紧安排上
作为这种meta元素的，剧情发展也太平庸了
CIA特工也太废了吧我一直以为他俩是骗子（？）现在商业片都在找突破，结合迷影情节后男二号真的太好笑了23333 后面为了强行打架还是老一套
电影中的电影，演员里的演员。
自己演自己的尼古拉斯·凯奇~说真的其实凯奇的演技一直挺好的~一段时间里烂片虽然多，但那是片子不行，演技一直没问题啊~至于这部~搞笑度还可以~重点是自己演自己~而且还和现实那么像。其实最好的是结尾，毕竟我看到时候就觉的绑架戏太突兀太不合适了~然后结尾这种感觉就消失了~当然可以有其他的理解，但按我的理解那就是向市场妥协的剧情！话说现如今的海报流行这种风格么？和瞬息全宇宙的风格好像啊~
