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.
黑得不错。但善于自嘲并不能使人类更智慧，这是两码事。
迟早全玩完，你能怎么样？
拍的很有电影质感，但是依旧无法弥补剧本中人物逻辑的问题
ED真的很不错，有一种眼前一亮的感觉。
剧场版风格偏成人向
还挺娱乐的…… 演唱会挺好…… 饭桌有点触动，包括祷告…… 最后的最后的最后很意味不明……
2022年居然还能看到这种质量的骑士，太感动了
从桥段，到形象，都是太好看的电影。每一个点，都是现实美国的写照，过去两年真真实实的上演着，编剧导演真有才。教授，主持人，总统，总统儿子那个幕僚长，老百姓被煽动，骚乱，民主，选举、流量，事实不重要，重要的是什么梗？ 目睹特朗普和更加低能的拜登，不禁想问，什么时候灯塔国变得这么魔幻的
说实在的，有点没看懂T T，感觉时长再长一点，把细节再完善一点会更好
世界很复杂，我们恐惧陌生人，但是事实上陌生人也是人，他们有自己的思想，有自己的血肉，有自己的生活方式。他们也活着，也爱着，也恨着。我们要学会接纳陌生的他人。
对这部的感情很复杂。一方面对于早就知道人类药丸的小行星派而言，它这程度还不够，对于其余观众而言，它又是过于明显的气候变化类比。类似的末日讽刺片上溯至奇爱博士，它当然达不到那个层次，而且中后段就开始重复和疲惫，但它确实很让人难过。我可以对前两个小时的闹剧保持deadpan脸（因为那就是社媒日常嘛），最后10分钟意外温情的聚餐竟然让人瞥见了一点点人类的闪光——感觉这种临死之际的表现才是电影高光。（最高级的段子是开篇那个白宫免费零食，其他的就浮浅了。看完后我理解了友邻说的“拍片治病”是什么意思……这种愤怒宣言大概仅对导演一个人的心理复建有（一点点）效。
年度搞笑大片，就是显得粗制滥造了（更搞笑了
本身就是用来介绍世界观和初期人设的，一切都中规中矩，过度地吹与黑在这个时候都显得太无脑了，整体呈现的效果不错，
美国老大哥带领全人类走向美好未来！感觉荒诞，但看看那些近两年发生的事，电影里的一切又像是现实世界的写照。不敢相信我在圣诞假期看了这么一部电影。
有趣有趣有趣，幹這麼玩轉political leaders，嘲諷科技商人，最後結局耶頗值得玩味的黑色幽默電影近年來太少啦！甜茶最後虔誠pray的樣子好心水，愛了愛了！
前面是乌托邦，后面happy ending，剧情一波三折，完成度很高，在当下看起来很应景 !
就这样继续bittersweet的life吧
缺点是有的，但我看有些短评写的很全面中肯所以就不多说了。都给我来看！！！
这部剧看的比较糊涂。自己猜的很多。在网上看了解说不得不说这部剧意识流很重。好久没有看到这么优秀的有内涵的作品了。对TV本篇不感冒。但这部真的推荐一看。甚至我觉得骑士粉必看。可惜的是篇幅少，导致细节描写不够撑不动剧情，导致影片逻辑性较弱。不过明显比TV好太多
