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.
难得凯奇哥终于演一部不那么难看的电影了，还算有趣，梗也挺多，多给一星
对凯奇没啥感情，但迷影情怀很难不被打动。自己演自己，以及分裂一个名字演分裂的自己，刺激绑架元素要有讽刺剧情烂俗也要有，对自我的审视和对电影的感情确实让它变得非常特别
真的是顽梗玩到飞起 导演不是凯奇的铁粉都写不出这个剧本 基本把凯奇重要的电影都致敬了一遍 连《曼蒂》都带到了 一次次突破次元壁 分不清这到底是电影剧情还是凯奇真实生活 另外就是真的别让帕斯卡再演傻子了 真的太像了 你可是红毒蛇呀
这其实是一部反怀旧情绪的电影，告诉你所有曾经那些让你哭过笑过的动作片兄弟情爱情桥段都傻得冒泡，所有的类型片都已经走到了尽头，没有什么是不能调侃的，也没有什么是不能消解的。但最后一幕又有点伤感（让人想起PTA《不羁夜》的结尾），在虚无中至少还有点东西是真的。
继去年的《猪》之后，尼古拉斯凯奇又迎来一部“翻身之作”？可能有不少争议，只因为这部作品更像是一位资深影迷亲笔写给凯奇的肉麻情信，充斥着这位大明星在以往代表作中的经典场面。这个元喜剧的剧本完全在模仿凯奇的现实生活，导致有时令人分不清究竟哪些是虚构，哪些是真实的。不过，依然是凯奇过去不少商业动作片的过火味道和浮夸的表演风格，如果这是该片的终极目标，那么这个剧本可谓相当成功。
〖20220608〗如果你喜欢尼古拉斯凯奇，这片子还不错
以为会很解构很好玩，结果整个一靠彩蛋堆积起来的凯奇个人秀，整个跟红色通缉令和王牌保镖一个模式。彩蛋方面也没头号玩家 游戏之夜 死侍2有趣。只能说是凯奇接了一部好莱坞疫情下正常制作的商业大片，在反讽自己的角度来看没有什么亮点，应该说是浪费了这种角度和题材了。
我本以为是凯奇借着自嘲来翻身的一部片，没想到只有自嘲了 这还翻个屁啊，烂片又多一部！
如果说《天才不能承受之重》是尼古拉斯·凯奇的“翻身”制作，可能有点名过其实了。通体来看，这是一部以尼古拉斯·凯奇个人为卖点——或者说以演员本人自黑为卖点——的喜剧片。又是一部预告片比正片更精彩的片子，因为开场之后不用太久我们就会发现，《天才不能承受之重》除了填充着尼古拉斯·凯奇本人过去电影作品——当然涵盖了"好片“和”烂片“——之外，无外乎又是一部我们耳熟能详的某一类型的喜剧电影。我个人是一直比较喜欢尼古拉斯·凯奇并且一直相信他是拥有演技的，但是这部《天才不能承受之重》显然不是那部让他“翻身”的电影。
尼古拉斯·凯奇你已经快六十了，还在拍烂片，甚至用一部电影去讲述烂片演员翻身的故事，而这部电影本身也烂得可以。
凯奇的商业片要是都能有这水平的话显然是不用担心未来的。
凯奇的粉丝电影，太精神病了，不过也太可爱了，虽说就是个爽片网大水平，但是确实凯奇从头到尾和红毒蛇的基情太浓郁了，笑到头疼
本质还是一边嘲讽荷里活一边又跟足荷里活公式的自我实现预言。不过利用尼古拉斯基治饰演尼古拉斯基治这个trick来抽象化男性中年危机，这个玩法不算新颖但恰到好处。有什么事情能比得过将一个公众人物象征性撕开来得有趣？让观众仿佛自以为窥视到大明星、童年偶像的隐私，但其实那都是精心计算好的取悦，是戏里戏外一起自我欺骗的合谋。总而言之，就好比片中的最后一幕：Life is a fucking movie！人生如戏呀丢你老母
烂片王自嘲，我演我自己，海报大抵用的《妈的多重宇宙》同一家
卧靠....收藏室里那串绿珠珠！！想要！！
Nick Cage演自己都是咆哮式演法，Pedro Pascal演技真的绝了，眼神流转间都是戏，而且和谁都有CP感，Sharon Horgan姐姐我真的好爱，爱她的喜剧特质和爱尔兰口音，还以为Lucas和Carlos有一腿，结果只是单纯的反派，喜剧效果比预想中少太多了，吐槽和笑点都有点弱，但Nick fucking Cage is back，以后多拍好片吧天才！
凯奇大叔对自己演艺生涯的总结，还挺有意思的，故事不新，但因为“本色出演”让整个片子变得好玩，还完债的凯奇大叔要多多拍好片才行
就是部尋常的戲中戲故事 劇情其實蠻俗套的 夫妻聯手救女 落魄演員闖入殺手世界 如果沒有凱奇演自己 捏他自己的演藝生涯這個噱頭 就真毫無看頭了 不過我還是覺得兩男主角色互換會更有意思一些 審視的感覺會更濃 片中的自嘲與回擊也會更強烈 但這片兒看到最後 怎麼感覺像是給帕丁頓熊2拍了部廣告片呢
因为没看过多少凯奇的片子，所以感触较少，不能共情，只能看个热闹
在人生180°转弯时，还有这么多人愿意作伴嬉笑怒骂，已经是人生赢家了。
