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.
故事背景太《黑镜》了
依然典型的热内风格，恶趣味的狂想曲，这次是密室型话唠片。从模仿人类情感、掌握幽默到突破人与机器的界限，反客为主，逼人类出演《直立搞笑猿人》，可最终还是因为对人类的“全面模仿”导致自己的灭绝，十分具有讽刺性。不过未来倒真的可能是人工智能和极右翼人类一起竞争领导权。

热内果然是个拥有无限「低级恶趣味」的导演（无论《天使爱美丽》还是《黑店狂想曲》）。我曾大胆预言，这个男人总有一天会用一部「反乌托邦喜剧」来满足他个人所有的「怪癖」与「私欲」。不幸言中。科幻外壳包裹下的各种荒诞的、猎奇的、无厘头的、光怪陆离的「法式浪漫」，没点毛病的人真的难以消化（庆幸我有毛病，消化起来不费劲）
密室逃脱。“因为我们都是充满缺点的原创产物。”
作为战争片，确实场面不够宏伟，但胜在情节还算紧凑，虽然整体有些平，但这也是多数真实改编的通病。
一群人在封闭场景的dynamic能拍好的都很有意思，人挺做作的，人工智能反倒真实
最想看的部分没太看着 没啥必要的剧情和文邹邹倒是蛮多
哦，热内！真是惊喜连连！大概是积攒了6年的创意一并用上了，趣点密集，主题正巧扣上新冠时期的otaku生活，禁足的人们会聊些什么话题呢？AI家居是个聪明的切入点～视觉设计秉承一贯俏皮，机器人女管家切罐头做溏心蛋那幕就像银河系漫游指南自动化飞船的extra，婴儿机器人日本产的吧～所有尤尼克斯都长一个脸（建议约翰马科维奇再来演）结局有点平凡了～但是作为一个热内忠粉，享受每一分钟～
疫情封城禁足语境下的时令之作，一种“复古科幻”，缤纷色彩里面裹挟的科幻想象已经是陈词滥调了，只能作为法式无脑喜剧看，并无新的灵感或批判。1375
色彩饱和度很高，情景剧，时长太长了！更喜欢蔡明的小品，全程都在想蔡明…
“无法为计谋成功而喝彩” Tote agree…
法国人真的很喜欢拍这种很有意思又没意思的电影。
机器人反抗人类，又有要保护人类，这个也只有用巨型漏洞来自圆其说了。
不是很精彩，但是极现实。谋事在人成事在天。做事有时候确实需要运气。
网飞搞这种碎剪爽片挺在行的，年初的慕尼黑也好看（虽然性质不一样但是）…有些情节挺莫名其妙的，但是西班牙那位两头通吃的大使我直接笑出声
尴尬的法式小品，法国人那令人摸不着头脑的笑点我永远get不到：/
有一种在看未来真实世界的惊悚感，ai拿捏人类🤭
脑洞大，法式幽默。峰回路转，很讽刺。
還是很Jean-Pierre Jeunet！蠢蠢的但是很感動
