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.
小成本佳作。虽然表演略显生涩，但剧本完成度好，音乐好听，感情饱满却没有故意煽情。
看到片中间的时候，就在想千万不要是俗套的烂结局，一点也不现实。不过，也真有点害怕这片子有过于现实，还是会期待一个圆满的结局。
收获了我对爱情的眼泪～对妈妈从不接受到接收的切身体会～素人演员也演的不错！有超多有趣的笑点～小成本电影还是不错的(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
街坊阿姨议论别人家事特别真实，故事很普通甚至无趣，结局太过于潦草，这种突然间接受了外地媳妇在现实中还是比较少见的，更多的是婚前婚后生活的鸡毛蒜皮小事上的矛盾冲突不断。
特别好，是看了很多中国电影都没有见过的好。细腻，真实，又哭又笑。
有种刻意营造出的真实，有些段子幽默是不是太过头了，演员素人还是稚嫩跳戏，冲突做的不错，是个完整的故事
头一次看这种大陆产“地头蛇”电影（胡拍的不算），竟然出乎意料的老练呢，主创团队确实是有点真东西，缺憾倒也不少——比如后半段用配乐狂煽，还有些莫名的蒙太奇，剧作上也有挺大问题，但好在牢牢抓住了诚挚和浓厚的乡土情，也算“一力降十会”吧。妈妈的表演不错，奶奶挺可爱哒。PS为啥给女主的设定是杭州人，她那想嫁外地也没那么容易吧……
妈妈们真的是一个好伟大的角色
抛开潮汕的情怀，这也是一部很好的电影。进电影院前，我已经做好了潮汕元素很好但剧情欠佳的心理准备了。但是它的完成度远超我想象，剧情上的克制，情感表达的真实，一些镜头运用很棒。我特别喜欢结尾通过类似手机录制来拍摄妈妈搭飞机的镜头，特别真实而且很有代入感，我称之为今年最印象深刻的镜头。特别是最后妈妈一句台词，问儿子：妈妈是不是很没用？这句台词太棒了，这是一群很接地气的创作团队，很棒。
不要被片名误导，其实是质感细腻、情节过度丝滑、情感真挚不做作的爱情/家庭片。故事不新，却因为在潮汕而显得真实又无奈；矛盾单纯，但每个人物都生动可爱；连套路的回忆杀都精巧而自然；潮汕风情和bgm都和故事完美契合～上映第二天+周末排片就已经很着急了，大家赶紧去看！
2022开年黑马之作，小成本制作但相当用心，配乐好好听好舒服。广东非潮汕人表示看得懂，毕竟身边潮汕人挺多而且工作原因去过潮汕好多次，文化风俗美食都拍得很贴地气，简直把我看饿了。只是末段拍得反差有点大，突然去到西湖有点突兀，结束的飞机长镜头不知道想表达什么，男主演技一般天台分手戏太尬了。好久没试过完全依靠字幕看电影，眼睛太累了而且也错过了好多细节。
简直了，纪录片吧？咋都那么真实！本土创作也可以很优秀的啊！深圳汕头都太真实了，最搞笑的是小舅子，哈哈
1.离异外地女友遇见潮汕妈妈，难比出柜。2.粿、卤水、拜老爷、生儿子、小舅舅、做生意……潮汕文化一窥。3.大团圆结局。终结在机场分别，去掉杭州一段会更真实。爱情本来就很难。
真的好有爱的片子啊！妈妈演技好自然好自然好妈妈，又可爱又真实，最后第一人称的vlog拍摄简直神来之笔，把转折的突兀都给磨过去了！好棒！真是一部处处都有美的片子，这踏马才是深圳！比什么小孩强多了！
太真实了，就喜欢这种环境真实，演员接地气，听不懂潮汕话也能感同身受。
意外地好看，温情中又不失幽默搞笑！借一个爱情故事塑造了一个非常非常典型的潮汕母亲形象。“外省人”与“离过婚”这两大标签几乎就是潮汕传统家庭中十分在意的两个东西，当两者与母亲碰撞在一起时，先是不能接受，再是慢慢接纳，情节安排不会过于刻意煽情，而是恰到好处。母亲最后的接受其实也是导演在向我们传递潮汕的新思想，破除大众对潮汕地区的刻板印象与误解：潮汕，并不是一个刻意排外的地方，只是因为特色的民风民俗让我们与其他地区产生了距离感，但我们的热情好客、淳朴善良会让所有来到这的人感到快乐与幸福，也意味着我们愿意接纳与时俱进的思想。
妈妈是主角啊，唯一有人物弧光的角色。很多桥段很干很硬，工具人也很多，男主长得像仁科，女主长得像张碧晨。。。
包场看，看哭了。重点在于妈，和妈的潮汕传统生活。刚看过《似水流年》更有感触。导游对笑点拿捏熟练。
简直了，纪录片吧？咋都那么真实！本土创作也可以很优秀的啊！深圳汕头都太真实了，最搞笑的是小舅子，哈哈
电影的情节简单，故事脉络清晰，基本上能直接猜到大结局的套路出牌，也许因为生活里类似这样的故事，十之八九都是不如意和遗憾，冲突矛盾到最后只好放手天各一方，所以在电影里才那么轻松的happy ending 了。电影在潮汕多地取景，很难看出男主的老家在哪里，很多传统的文化都已经慢慢淡化甚至消失了，比如戏台，比如大型的祭祀活动，但算命什么的还是那么有亲切感。胶己人才有资格说胶己人文化里根深蒂固的旧观念应该更新了，抛弃了，但是外面的人说的话，总归是会生气的。
