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.
哪裡有到「瘋狂好笑」以及「笑死了」的地步啊……🙄
如此垃圾的电影，没一点逻辑，纯粹是为搞笑而搞笑，问题是好笑吗？
开心麻花的戏，你要说好看吧，看后又记不住任何，你要说不好看吧，毕竟你也跟着笑了。就像吃了安眠药，做了很多梦，醒来一个也记不住，可是钱却花了。
而且都是大家知道的，再浓墨重彩临摹一遍，总感觉有点没必要。
说不好看吧，有些桥段确实跟着笑了，但要说好看吧，却又觉得有点违心
结尾手里的冲击钻很有趣
哈维尔巴登演技爆表，剧本围绕小老板一周的构思很精巧，非常值得一看，一部西班牙电影却拍出了属于我们的真相
El 26 de enero de 2022, en Cine Renoir Plaza de España, Madrid. Javier Bardem都老得认不出来了… #36Goya 又及：今年的戈雅奖颁奖了，这部片子获得了6个奖项，与此相比的《平行母亲》却颗粒无收……
对雨中曲 教父 大镖客的“致敬”简直是对电影艺术的侮辱
国外的黑色幽默穿插从头至尾，而国内一谈到黑色幽默，各投资方都觉得格局小了要打开。哎，也不知道谁的格局小了。
好一个黑色幽默，捡了芝麻丢了西瓜，还自我感觉良好呢，不过哈维尔的演技真好，演啥像啥。
哈维尔·巴登可塑性简直太强了。演这种黑色喜剧真是大材小用。以前看过一部《恶老板》，也是妙趣横生、恶趣味不断。本片叫《好老板》，本来想看看有多好。结果发现是反语。只有更恶，没有最恶。简直太不做人了。万万没想到的是，貌似接受潜规则的女实习生才是以猎物形象出现的猎手。不知最后算双赢么？
在电影院还是笑了～太多梗了，教父/雨中曲/甚至还有荒野大镖客。😂几个情节的错位感挺喜剧效果的。但是故事嘛，就不需要考虑太多逻辑了。
。表面清清白白良好模范企业家，高贵邀请函随手送人。你把我当兄弟，我当成你女婿。
JB表演真好 剧本很好 轻盈幽默地将暗流涌动展示出来
超出预料的好
没有什么会完全是我们预想的那样 我们不是我们 我们是变化的 这取决于我们面对的是谁
感觉就是在大荧幕看了个舞台剧，噗！服装、名字、灯光，全都太…舞台剧风了….singing in the rain的部分简直尬到爆
开心麻花的戏，你要说好看吧，看后又记不住任何，你要说不好看吧，毕竟你也跟着笑了。就像吃了安眠药，做了很多梦，醒来一个也记不住，可是钱却花了。
三谷幸喜的原作有些硬伤，但情感核心是很真挚的，主题是对电影事业的热爱，而表演只是其中的一部分。《杀手》后半段基本把这个主题颠覆掉了，角色被接管，“拍摄”中断，最终落点在小人物历险记，情节逻辑其实更偏向《喜剧之王》，追求的是个人成功。所以哪怕特别明显地加了《教父》《雨中曲》《赌神》的迷影梗，片名也化用了另一部著名电影，电影都只是他们用以自我实现的工具。当然不能说这样的改编不可取，只是同样没能让这个荒诞设定切实可信地落了地。也不怎么能笑得出来，开心麻花真是从未令我失望。
