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.
挺好看的，不要一看网大就给低分好吗。挺有诚意的作品
讲述了四个单身朋友以不同的组合成为情侣的故事，对“灵魂伴侣”度概念提出了挑战
遇到不同的人，我们会变成不同的自我，灵魂伴侣其实不存在！
啊…我为什么喜欢讲冷笑话的帅哥啊，西8⃣️
喜欢这种《真爱至上》类的多线叙事的群星拼盘节日温情电影，今晚看这个可真应景，去年这时候看了韩国一部《新年前夜》，满世界演，今年这部故事浓缩到一间酒店，从平安夜到圣诞到跨年到新年，什么元素都有了，但综合起来一句话总结:林允儿靠美貌和笑容救下一个寻死的屌丝。新年快乐！！！
姜河那那段最有戏剧性，年末看这种群星电影还是不错的，不需要用太多脑子。
Emross Hotel大型宣传片——这波拼盘式安利可以，看的我都想去住一住了……以及，韩国人对谈恋爱的执着程度真令人费解啊，他们对“爱”的定义有时也会狭隘到令人感到遗憾。
剧情很老套，看得很开心。新年快乐！（四星里面两星给这群我爱的演员，李阵郁+韩志旼，允儿+姜河那，就这样拍roco드라마吧。）
很久前我就意识到所谓“唯一的灵魂伴侣”是个伪命题，身边的伴侣往往是天时地利人和的结果，换个条件状态心境，可能关系就会天差地别，甚至不会成为身边人。我们以独立个体状态进入关系，而关系又会在不知不觉中塑造我们，重点不是“唯一”，而是专注和“眼前有缘的那一个”的发展。但电影有趣（和有更多可能性）的地方，是让人看到和不同对象与不同状况下合情合理的发展，恰到好处的切换也让观赏更有趣味。很可爱的意大利小片~
很應景的韓國真愛至上的故事，很懂那段15年雙向暗戀卻沒有說出來的戀愛，在男生婚禮當天說出來的釋放，曾經也有這樣的經歷，珍惜和害怕沒的做朋友。每段故事都有個happy ending當然是賀歲檔的必備。就是甜甜的，融洽的，希望新年一切順遂。ps：為什麼只給我棟旭安排了吻戲，哈哈哈
我觉得比咱们的元旦档电影好看，至少非常养眼
剧本和剪辑都蛮有意思。“苹果论”的比喻，与“灵魂伴侣论”进行互文，在猜测游戏中对真爱命题做论辩。想到《爱情三选一》。
卡司很贺岁 喜剧又催泪 画面真的很美 故事真的很治愈 所有缘分终将结果
配乐都好好听🥺 雪景也很漂亮 剧情就so so..
互补则是一个比另一个更成熟，一开始可能互相排斥，但是慢慢接触反而加速另一个成长达成同样的生活节奏
意大利人冲在了婚恋观念的前沿，不虚信，不矫饰，随心随性，挺好的。
色彩缤纷，整体暖色系，是我喜欢的感觉。男男女女的话题，拯救了我这只单身狗的失业无聊时间。不妨一看。
有点好笑还有点好哭又有点好笑哈哈哈哈哈哈最喜欢跳楼的和叫醒服务很好玩！！！不要相信代表与合同工的童话故事不要做梦真的😱喜欢上的好朋友要结婚了真的很难过学生时代的爱恋……歌手和经纪人的追梦路，老年人的爱恋。结尾插曲好像是友谊地久天长吗？结尾莫名想到小时代……李栋旭的吻！！
让他人参与自己不代表失去自治，我们不是因他人而完整，但从没有经历与他人无关
小资悬浮，淡淡幽默，某种程度上和徐峥的爱情神话是一类片子
