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.
展现了多元价值观的国产片，都值得我们去捍卫
神似《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》，但毕竟是描写会烧菜的上海爷叔，所以变成了《四次下厨和一个葬礼》，老白全片确实下了四次厨房无误。
瞎起灵啊 瞎起灵! ! !
恢复了冯小刚城市贺岁片喜剧传统，敏锐地呈现中国社会机理的细微变化，只是这20年来文化先锋已经由北京变为上海。在上海这种发达国家水平人均硕士人均包租婆人均性解放的地方，终于拍出了一部侯麦那种衣食无忧只探讨暧昧关系主题的电影，中老年角色依然像曾经的北京青年一样洒脱。采用我爱我家和春晚这种受众极广的搞笑手法，揶揄了大量当代生活细节，再插入一首首歌曲提升情绪，现场笑果极佳。但仍然是从男性徐峥的角度去追女生，对爱情关系的探索深度远远不及《被光抓走的人》甚至《完美陌生人》。它只提及爱情萌芽时的激情阶段，尚未落地到生活中（当然上海这种富裕条件允许不落地到生活），如此的结论是：文艺中年最爱文艺中年。但是文艺中年适合文艺中年吗？本片相信爱情却不相信婚姻，离婚的未婚的丧偶的，一个处在婚姻之中的角色都没有。
这个电影哪怕全都是这几个人吃饭的戏，我都觉得会同样精彩，同样好看。。
我真的不想看三个美女爱上一个这种男人啊。老说给中年女演员机会是对的，因为这种男演员机会也太多了。

如同纽约之于伍迪艾伦，上海终于也有了属于它的电影，太棒了，只有在上海住过的人才能理解这部电影有多浪漫。
《爱情神话》，灵啊。
全程舒适。店名里藏了《红拂夜奔》，翻译和校对也藏了《红拂夜奔》。
本年度华语最佳。
大概是当下华语都市爱情片能拍出的最好的样子，费里尼配蝴蝶酥，红烧肉搭Jimmy Choo，梧桐树下小弄堂里，每个角色都拥有自己的高光时刻。没有哪种生活方式不被包容，也没有哪种爱情观找不到落脚之处，上海值得这样的电影。
美貌多金的寂寞富婆，为何对中年发福的上海男人投怀送抱?
我记得2000年左右（以前）的电影是这样的，说出来很不可思议，但真的电影这几年是越拍越烂，所以看到《爱情神话》竟然涌上一股股怀旧的心情。这样的都市片，虽然你知道生活里不可能有这么一群精彩的伶牙利嘴的角色，人这么少的咖啡店/酒吧/街道/弄堂，但就故事和人物而言，多少能从周围朋友的身上看到他们的影子。就算是艺术加工也是建立在某群真实的人物基础上的电影，这样就很好看，很动人。
精致漂亮思想开放的上海女人，也终究逃不开被中年发福的油腻文艺男吸引。然而现实里文艺男或文化男的脑子里是没有爱情的，他可以和你从诗词歌赋谈到人生哲学，然后提出要看你的B
我来安排一下：马伊琍和倪虹洁在一起。那个小gay，哦，也就是O和T在一起，第四爱。徐峥和老乌在一起。徐峥的前妻，和徐峥的老妈在一起。这个组合才对。
剧本扎实，人物丰满，诙谐幽默，精准抓住了上海的气质~
挺好的，有那么点看woody allen的感觉，在轻松小品的表象下四两拨千斤地在做一些探讨性别和爱情的努力，摇摆于浪漫和现实之间激荡出火花。看到熟悉的街道和见证过类似生活的场景，会心一笑里又加深了对故事的信任度。
本来计划去看话剧，下午看到好多友邻在推这个电影，临时叛逃。
电影的落幕时刻或许正是导演交付给观众的一份调查问卷。她假借主角们评价费里尼电影好不好看这个由头，其实是试探性地在询问自己的观众，那你们说说，我拍的这部《爱情神话》到底好不好看呢？对此，我只想说，真心好看！
