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.
感觉和《恐怖游轮》和《彗星来的那一夜》是一个套路。而且被雷劈中产生的效果和彗星降落产生效果好像也是异曲同工。虽然片子只有三位主演，但是感觉大家的演技都还是在线的。
有点意思，三个演员就可以搞定，最后女主找到了想要的生活，却是牺牲了另一个自己。
1.一个无知、混乱、破败……但充满亲情的“家”。
母子双剑客对“家”有两种不同理解，电台里的声音欠款三十刀遛弯顶替赡养费，美国教育理念的德国式框架提升外公魅力，名车炮局不敌上流家庭圣诞拷问，耶鲁毕业怎能不熟悉英国宪法对抗统治阶级，威尼斯是一个永远在别处的父子关系……老文青狄更斯酒吧二三事，大本就像从《心灵捕手》里的好基友变成了这里的好老舅，算是近几年来最好表现了；《回到未来》的老博士爷爷可爱依旧
外形挺俊朗，淡淡的忧伤。现今社会，谁还没点儿心病呢？呵呵
6.2 怎么能窜了这帮演员把好故事编排的那么无聊？
确实挺温柔的，但是不疼不痒的不知道乔治.克鲁尼到底想讲个啥。
病情好转的男主最后还是吞服大量药片
什么可以成就一个出色的耶鲁学生和作家？
因为是郑雷的抖音粉丝，所以知道了并且看了这部电影，对于中国科幻片来说果然土猛土猛的，小成本拍出了好莱坞般的悬疑烧脑的套路，值得点个大大的赞。好莱坞已经买下翻拍版权，更加牛掰。
片如其名，一部温柔的流水账，还好演员选的不错
片尾ost...欲言又止的郁静之安宁
故事的基调抓住了，但剧情不是很有新意，导演的映前谈视频中讲他在原著外加入妻子这个角色，自己的妻子也是这个电影的编剧，这件事情本身让人无法估量对错。
一直看不懂这种平行空间的谁是谁，一切都可以用梦，要不就是精神分裂来解释，哈哈哈
画面很漂亮 确实是同一作者的改编作品 电影里有大量的奔跑 一人的奔跑 两人的奔跑 三人的奔跑 瘦削的少年在山间和街道自如地滑滑板 在夜里点亮烟花 脱掉衣服后露出骨瘦如柴的身体跳进海里 吃掉几板安眠药后将手上和桌上的碎屑舔干净…男主长得很寂寞 有深入骨髓的忧郁 看他第一眼我就知道 他的妻子温暖不了他 可他随手接过对方手中的电灯泡抬头换上的时候又是那么的迷人 唉 有些人真的注定要伤害别人
低配彗星来的那一夜🤓情节和人物感情太白了，构思又毫无新意
挺平淡的故事，就是结尾给我有点突然的感觉..
成本有限，场景单一，主要由三位角色的人物关系变化，而展示不同的时空差异。细节的前后呼应做得挺好，但整体的情节线略微单薄。全片没有拉胯之处，能看出螺丝壳里做道场的用心。导演的下一部可期。
这磨破嘴皮子的主题，不痛不痒的人物关系，平平淡淡的叙事节奏，平平庸庸的导演和表演。克鲁尼老师可以说是一部不如一部啦。
生活中有太多的压力，所以我们都在有病和没病之间徘徊。
