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.
也不知道这算啥片？反正挺文艺的，一起看的妹子，最后就说了两句：“这都啥啊？我也想注射干细胞。”
王傳君和王珞丹組的cp看著就很文藝了（雖然不喜歡王珞丹） 故事感覺好長好長啊 有點實驗片性質 美術及攝影都還是挺不錯的
演技之浮夸
比本杰明差了五万四千里。但是值得鼓励。
干细胞广告+王珞丹颜值担当+老配角演技担当+大段独白+长生不老+跨越时空的爱情
怎么说呢，很怪…
王传君是个好演员，却因演了这个纯爱系男大生让我频频出戏。这部片的奇幻元素仅仅体现在接二连三的离奇死亡事件，让人坚信不疑这是今年最佳殡葬电影
看了一半，发现两人的关系这不是阿甘正传吗？不戴眼镜的王传君看着挺奇怪的；为了王珞丹+1星，各种风情，尽显魅力；可惜剧情又臭又长。
这个故事可惜了，当时还以为会是一部黑马。唉，被导演拍砸了。
4.看完全片，好像讲了什么，又好像没有刻意去突出，感觉主题稍微有点不明确（最后男主去非洲当医生的情节感觉有些刻意和多余）
还是那个熟悉的王朔配方，永远回不去的久远时光，至死都想抓住，看完像经历了整场人生...
3.年代跨越的时间较长，各年代把握的都挺好，没有让人出戏的感觉
在很有王朔腔调和「伤痕」文学特点的《不老奇事》里，亦有强烈而不可回避的「死亡」焦虑。还不到七十就住在太平间隔壁的「王老」开始跟他的读者抑或传人掰扯「永存」命题。这部自传色彩浓郁的「回忆录」作品选取了冷眼旁观的《张医生与王医生》视角来叙述社会变迁下的中国，然而，面对历经四十年高速发展和积攒下来的痼疾，眼和手都不太灵活的「外科大夫」显得不知所措，他于八十年代的「视觉优势」彻底变成了阻碍他进步的困惑——他看不清「我」是谁，从哪来，又要到哪去——面对当下「非理性」的现代人他一脸茫然。人可以永生吗？或许吧。但此时此刻恐怕还是一个梦。在梦中，男主是一个活在儿时记忆里，快要失语的植物人，但作为「职业」叙事者，他又堵不上眼睛和嘴：借着角色继续吐槽调侃。他或许想要以这种「男人至死是少年」的形象活在这个世界上。
摄影及美术真的是牛逼，塑造的时空展现了太多那个年代特有的细节，唯独客观讲述故事有点跳戏，观感不是特别好。
就像是好几个故事拼凑在一起，再次弄个长生不老出来？？？
重要台词
开头有《阳光灿烂的日子》的质感…青梅竹马的确难忘啊。
有触动，人的一生不过匆匆几十年，怎么度过，和谁度过，要不要思考一下
立意是很高，剧本够硬，但是被玩崩了。观影体验很复杂，前面以为是爱情片，后面又开始天马行空了医学系、摇滚、电影、干细胞……什么猛料都往里加，找不到重点，看起来就像一个传记电影。借用电影里的话，文艺电影有没有人看不重要。
能看下去的话还是很有感觉的，看似来回跳转切换，其实这就是生活。当然演员们表现都很好，不过这个导演拍的乱七八糟。
