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.
ps.国语配音不错。有老翻译腔的舒服、自然的感觉。
牛逼，真會寫，好萊塢明星的胸針那裡我笑出了豬叫
就非常的非现实下的现实，social media化和全民媒体时代下，对于严肃事件的无害化宣传和化解。政客只衡量自己的利益并不会考虑事实和全民的危机。挺有意思的，最后找到的星球大概是被撞击后原始化的地球…只是那些大资本家和政客如何在这种环境中生存下去
真的是一部非常非常美国的电影，美国人自黑起来 真的六亲不认。Don't Look Up，因为有颗彗星即将要撞上地球。莱昂纳多饰演的天文学教授 意外地发现了一颗巨星彗星即将在半年后撞击地球，他和学生一起向媒体、甚至总统呼吁末日危机，但是人们只把他们当作危言耸听的疯子。总统后来倒是承认了他们的这个末日论，但是她却只不过是把彗星当做了自己竞选连任的筹码，甚至联合科技公司开采彗星的矿石。本来以为是一部闹哄哄的黑色幽默喜剧、只不过借着世界末日的科幻外壳嘲讽一些社会现象，没想到最后却是反套路剧情，华盛顿的英雄主义这次以另一种形式出现在了荧幕上，试图拯救人类的科学家与家人挚友丧生在了温馨的家庭晚宴上，懦弱的美国总统带着众人在数万年的冷冻后到达了另一个适宜居住的天体 但一下飞船就被大鸟给啄死了 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！
这两年的现实看下来，已经没法把这片当政治讽刺喜剧来看了，就像某川选前和在任时，SNL的编剧就根本不用特别开脑洞。好笑么？一点都不好笑，感觉自己现在就看着一颗彗星撞过来，所有人都在狂欢，不能更真实了。
太逗了，美国的生命力就是混乱争吵中靠运气熬垮一个个对手而达成的
不是你们观测的时候能不能关灯啊？？？这不是常识吗我真的无语？虽然academia is a perfect place for introverts但我真的不相信全美那么多搞行星科学的居然没有一个能站出来把话说清楚的？这一行里真的不是所有人都是nerds，科普确实难但刻板印象更恶心，点开三次都没看下去，我放弃了
好笑与悲凉之间。刚准备笑就觉得自己也身处在一个大型魔幻现实主义题材作品里，惨惨的感觉就来了。梅姨彪悍，各种角色手到擒来。美国人嘲笑美国人永远天字第一号好手。
认真想了下如果还有六个月彗星撞地球，不用买房、不用生孩子、不用担心第二天醒来的生活仍然不是我想要的，不用承受死亡方式的痛苦不用害怕亲人无法接受，再次醒来已经是新纪元里的新生物，还愣着干嘛？开香槟啊！！！！
大表姐咋胖成这样了…真相其实凄惨得多，他们甚至没有聪明到可以像你们描述得那样邪恶。近期最好的政治讽刺喜剧大作，台词的密度和信息量都让人满意，意识形态高度对立社会的的绝佳写照。

讽刺还蛮有趣的。加长版snl小品的感觉。但演员们表演真的一言难尽。我一直嫌弃小李子演技，但在这片子里他甚至都算是最好的。神一样演技的马克里朗斯贡献了演艺生涯最差表演。这片子能冲任何奥斯卡奖项都离谱，他坞赶紧完蛋。
美国文娱界倾巢而出拍了这个片子为了讽刺、恶心和鞭尸懂王，但在这个疫情已经完全失控的时代，这反而成了一部讽刺睡王的片子，笑死。
裹着喜剧外衣的大型政治灾难片，元旦贺岁喜剧一点也不喜，挺悲的其实。包括最后主角一桌坐在桌前等灰飞烟灭都很让人感到悲伤。另外这个片子最不合理的部分不应该是BASH的飞碟机计划都完蛋了，为什么太空环游竟然能成功呢。大表姐的演出令人眼前一亮，靓了一整部片子，这个妆发实在是太适合她了。
就算我们能预见历史，也不会阻止它发生。就像即将到来的会议，也许是某场毁灭性灾难的起点，然而人们鼓舞欢腾。。。
7分，彻头彻尾的讽刺喜剧，台上口号喊得再响亮背后也不过是虚伪和自私的利己主义，一切都成为政治角力和企业盈利的工具，他人的生死在有些人眼中已经无关重要。最后的反转来得好，人总要付出代价的。
明示的政治表达，社会问题的嘲讽显得有些无聊。如此豪华的卡司阵容也就剩下了噱头而已，大家都是照本宣科式的表演。本年度网飞年底重头戏大失所望。断崖式剪辑方式算是眼前一亮。有彩蛋。
但马斯克混搭乔布斯实在是太形象了！
大牌云集还拍得挺好玩的。人类不行，美国不行，x国当然也不行。
有意思，撞击危机演变成政治和资本联合的闹剧。发现彗星，减肥开始，减肥结束，地球毁灭。演员阵容太强大了。
