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.
看过更新：出色。很多人还在说剧本杀的时候，我想到的只有他们之前的网剧《报告老板》，才发现这就是本格推理的结构啊，把每个人的想象都演出来，在此之上又套了个拍电影的外壳，人与人之间的精彩对峙也有点怒汉的影子。结局收的住，也没有让人失望，真不错。
情感真挚，叙事平缓，中间插了一些档案化的胶卷镜头很是好评。在静静流淌的塞纳河畔，希望我们都能找到心灵的皈依。
犯罪推理加黑色幽默，挺过瘾的。小警察死之前拼力说出的那个"滚"字快让人笑崩了；
是氤氲在蓝紫色温柔里的巴黎，
中国版“利刃出鞘”。十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常，好一个洗地法...
有点像散文的小说，又像是小说一样的诗歌。时光流转，没有宏大叙事，不过就是一家几口人的日常。前半段总觉得女主很不开心，忧郁似乎要溢出屏幕，连这深蓝寒冷的夜晚都无法稀释包裹似的。后半段渐渐好了起来，大概是她在工作中找到了自己或是遇到了新的可靠的恋人，渐渐脸上有了舒展的笑容，尽管也有岁月的皱纹。但是自始自终她说话怎么都这么温柔呢？除了那个小姑娘复吸被发现时她发了火生了气但还是很快就以帮助者的角色在保护她。我喜欢通篇的配乐，和作旧的调色，尤其是四个人在客厅吃着焦糖奶油跳着舞响起的音乐真好听。我还喜欢他们的大窗户，喜欢这个母亲与孩子们朋友般的关系。不止一次的向侯麦致敬，导演自己也拍出了有点侯麦感觉的电影。谁是这巴黎的夜旅人呢，大概每个人都是吧。
大概九年前有个女孩说，她很喜欢夏洛特·甘斯布…所以只要电影里有她，脑海里也必定有她…
片子挺有种的。角色塑造立体有层次，镜头语言丰富，影迷梗应用得恰到好处，故事含蓄有留白，悬念能留到最后，调侃讽刺中透着悲凉和倔强。除了中间略跑题和拖沓，夹杂了一些没有必要的内容，作为处女作挺不错。最难得是同时拍出了人类的腐朽和光辉，还有那要命不值钱但弥足珍贵的东西——良心。
衔接与节奏不算顶好，但在结尾，惊鸿一现的女生，随之阿姆斯特朗老爷子死前绝唱饱含感激与满足的what a wonderful world响起，我就一点意见也没有了，多好的牺牲与守护的故事，凶手老哥多好的微笑啊
《鸟人》，《圆月映花都》，《德州巴黎》，复古的remix和剪影配上缓缓流淌的时光。属于80年代的清爽和平静
第一次是偶然，第二次是巧合，第三次就是宿命。
好温柔好迷人，是那种看完后能够找到电影魅力并重拾生活力量的电影
5.5分。比开心麻花强一点的话剧式电影，但也只强一点，仅此而已。
它并不是完美的，但它已经在有限条件下，尽己所能做到了最好。
好久没看到这么美这么舒缓的电影了，有好多击中内心的片段，要好好珍藏这部电影
巴黎、夜晚、城市、旅人，所有元素都完美契合我的口味，有这样温柔的电影陪伴，仿佛第二天连早起都有勇气了。感谢导演。
齐乐山的目的是保护一个人，以及掩盖一个秘密。
感觉团队可能只适合拍小短片吧，电影功力是真的不行，剧情又想有深度又想搞笑，结果两个都没做好，在电影院看的几度想离场了……实在是太无聊了
八九十年代的穿搭 唱片 音乐 香烟 电影中的胶片滤镜 不太清晰的画质 穿插的旧影像 满满的复古风和慢慢的叙述 每一项都治愈了我 好复古好美好喜欢好喜欢好喜欢今天也是想穿越的一天
故事是编的，这根本就是一场有预谋的杀人计划。
