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.
过山车的经历…来回摇摆，树敌太多，也算精彩过
再说一次 男主很是英俊啊
2.5 // 旁白在给我解读电影内容，念两个半小时的旁白不如我直接去看原著，完全失去电影的意义 ps: 旁白内容是好的，读得想直接看原著
被无情摧毁于无声；
很久没有看到过经典文学名著改编的新电影了，改编自法国作家巴尔扎克的同名小说，今年凯撒奖最佳影片，拍得即古典优雅又现代意识流，非常值得观看！
十九世纪的法国巴黎，那些迷失在浮华里的年轻人，都突破了巴尔扎克的文字，通过这部电影向我走来。再有理想和才华，没有靠山，都只是挣扎的过河卒子。小说巴尔扎克写了八年，电影虽然也长达两个半小时，但已经把那个时代法国浮世绘的感觉拍出来了。
完整性比较高，对于没看过巴尔扎克幻灭的是个普及。乱入多兰可还行hhh
回过头来看，名利场的虚伪傲慢，媒体与金钱利益的较量，被时代裹挟的年轻梦想家，自我沉醉麻木，走向自我堕落幻灭，这样的故事，无论经历多少个时代的更迭，终究不停上演，一切都是腐朽。
溢出的配乐和剪辑倒和故事的基调很搭，刻意的轻佻也不失为成功的改编。
对我来说也是法大革命时期的风情片吧，不过不太喜欢临近幻灭时那个超现实的镜头，实在不着调
Monica_bang自译#4# 旁白太多，留白不够，没必要都讲出来的其实。
明明是两个世纪以前的故事，但搬到现在核心却一点也不过时。只能说技术在向前飞速发展，而人类却一直在原地踏步（一些国家甚至在开历史倒车...🤨
m2259：他成为了别人的小说。卡洛琳是个好女人。
影片在造型以及画面感塑造上，将19世纪巴黎各个阶层现状生动的演绎出来，《幻灭》改编自巴尔扎克的同名小说，导演对其原著改变不大，基本保留了原始旁白，展现了导演独特的艺术追求。喜欢影片最后一个段落，吕西安走在森林中，在湖边脱去所有衣物，走向水中，仿佛在向观者传达这里才是他最终的归属，既没有世俗也没有喧嚣与繁华，唯有自己和空荡的灵魂，导演运用特写镜头聚焦吕西安面部，眼神中透露着无尽的疲惫，无奈与重生。
西部片一直是心头好，再加枪战更是必看榜首……比起60年代著名的镖客系列差点，贵在短小精炼、紧凑有序、故事完整，小哥颜值超高，荐！
nethan一出场我：他要不是同性恋我吞一千斤铁。 哦原来他就是多兰
根据巴尔扎克同名小说《幻灭》里的吕西安那一条线改编，文学性强，观赏性也不差。真是“美梦易醒、韶华易逝、镜花水月”般的幻灭。看完联想到了为了梦想在大城市漂泊的那些人，像吕西安般结局的人是不是大多数？
有文化的人吵架形容对方微不足道会说like a breeze… 主要还是巴尔扎克写得好，但是也没有必要加旁白加得那么多，电影完全沦为书的附属，比起同样是名著改编的《纯真年代》差了点克制
男主画上烟熏妆那个镜头我真的一个爆笑，导演感觉没有太多想象力，电影本身中规中矩，旁白过多甚至有偷懒的嫌疑，无奈巴尔扎克的故事太过扎实，两个半小时丝毫不觉冗长。有机会补个原著。
给予就是剥夺 舒伯特的小夜曲贯穿始终让我们一开始就知道，这是一场悲剧。鲁西安和卡洛琳，两个充满天赋的人，在追求自己的美的过程中，被巴黎(人类欲望的凝聚体)给予了不可承受的价值，于是，裂痕开始在他们无暇的躯体上蔓延。对美的追求在欲望面前变得不堪一击。结尾，在觉醒之后必须找到内在的力量，是这样没错。没有力量，一切被赋予的价值只会变成负担，就像电影的海报，通俗的说法就是欲戴王冠，但我很喜欢电影里的桥段，两个评论家在船上说耶稣不会游泳。而所有的追求也都会呈现出正反的两面，幻灭就是你看不到的那一面。 ps.由猴子选择哪本书好评，好讽刺，就像现在，猴子们在选择什么是真相 ps.香槟杯很好看
