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.
只能说60年后带来的光影冲击更丰富了 就个人而言唱曲的体验依旧爱不起来 但不影响ATMOS的强劲表现；幕后花絮纪录片都有97分钟...
用歌舞片来叙述一个比较老派的故事，技法上的新意还可以，但是关于主线的情绪的渲染显得相当空洞。一部歌舞片，不仅仅是在形式上尤其是动作上感染观众，更需要给出一种更加有说服力的表达。想要看到与众不同的人物，而不是循规蹈矩的完全为情节服务的对象。
看在斯皮尔伯格的份上，多给一颗星吧。歌舞剧如果本身情节不够硬核，还是不要上大荧幕了，留在舞台更好。罗密欧与朱丽叶这对智障小青年已经让人头大，玛丽亚和托尼简直是智障plus。AND男主唱功演技和人品都太差劲了。
你永远可以相信斯皮尔伯格，真的太神了！尽管老派的帮派对峙和罗密欧与朱丽叶式的爱情故事放在当代确实有点傻楞，但真的每一场戏都令人叹为观止。可以被列入教科书级别的摄影、场面调度、灯光，每一幕结束都想鼓掌的程度，冲着硬件五星了，这就是好莱坞电影工业制作的天花板吧。有把舞台剧改编成电影形式发挥到极致了，是电影的魔法！好爱嫂子。（唯一不足的可能是演员们的声音素质，一开始还以为男二才是男主..以及能不能照顾一下不会西语的观众朋友们
有些场景确实拍得精彩炫目，但男主（虽然很喜欢演员本人），但实在显得跟周围人格格不入啊……嗓音、身段、气质 完全不像同一个时代的，就感觉是个百老汇小迷弟穿越来的。 女主也一般，除了嗓音很美，整个人就没说服力。两三天内的巨大冲突故事放到现代电影中就更觉得无稽。其他人都很好，值三星半。
哈哈哈这个名字一看就很有吸引力，让人想去看
虽然但是… 拍得好牛逼啊🤩拉片爱好者全程高潮。镜头运动、剪辑节奏和光影变换都和演员们一起在跟随音乐舞蹈，古典好莱坞的气质被赋予了来自“未来”的科幻质感，让这一版改编真正具备了一种摆脱时代束缚的永恒性。
在电影院看的。“古惑仔”版《爱乐之城》，“爱乐之城”版《古惑仔》，不过，歌曲都不咋好听。
中途离场了 因为我老了 受不了天真派和大口音
刨去这没逻辑没道德伦理的尴尬主线，剩下的都能看都好看都耐看。Riff这么棒死的那么快，女主这么丑接下来还要演snow white，男主么就不说了。
新版改让老妇唱Somewhere是个神来之笔，五十年已过，没有分歧的应许之地还是只能在电影中幻想
對於原作那種美好的記憶猶新，實在不忍心給大師差評，含淚註記三星。
女主可以不要这么恋爱脑吗？
毕竟是大导呀，一出手就知道有没有，这调度，这视觉呈现，太太太太惊艳了！但…故事是真难看，以及男主是带资进组吗？
最好的还是音乐和编舞，是每首唱完整个影院都在鼓掌的程度。绝对是今年好莱坞几部歌舞片里最好的。真的会让人感叹“这才是电影的魅力”。故事和前版改动不大，所以稍微感觉有些陈旧？最后结尾处理有点仓促。
群舞还不错，其他和老版差不多难看，里夫比男主好看多了，为了点羊刚之气撕逼的故事和罗朱故事已经过时太久了，翻拍点别的吧
有名的美国音乐剧《西区故事》1957年演出，到现在已经65年了，它的有名唱段听过多次，全剧则一直没有看过，今天发现它原来也是个改编得还不错的纽约版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。它肯定是46年出生的美国大导演斯皮尔伯格少年时期的“崇拜记忆”，74岁了还亲自操刀将其再次搬上大银幕！完全打破舞台局限，实景、大调度、大场面，运镜、组接都很有现代感，漂亮好看。主演演员明星气质不够，影响了票房和口碑，但它终究是过去时代的一个文化坐标，值得记录与观看。
其实西区故事真的没有必要翻拍，本来就是个很弱的剧本，虽然斯老这个运镜 调度 光影也着实是泰好看流畅了，但也只能到此为止了。。配色和感染力上与原作无法相比，原作的叛逆 肆意 张扬与棱角 力量都是当代人身上没有也无法复刻的，那是只属于60年代的叛逆和浪漫
但这新瓶装旧酒只停留在了“装了就行”，也不考虑加入一些深处这时代的思考和变化，原版怎么来，这版还怎么来。
让我在两星和三星间纠结就足够说明问题了，哥嫂cp值得所有的赞美，2021年真的不要再拍罗密欧朱丽叶了，男主杀了女主哥哥然后的床戏让我想冲出电影院
