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.
要逗别人笑，而不是被别人嘲笑。剧末，武对着师傅的遗像，半调侃半吐槽的那番话，让人落泪。
又哭又笑，有被感动到。吐槽的点是老年北野武有点吓人。年轻女主有点像林依晨耶。
有点像《火花》，连配乐都是一个路数的。比师徒情谊更打动我的，是脱衣舞女最后跟男主拥抱告别的时候说：“离开这里，不要再回来，一定要梦想成真啊！”
两位男主将传统东亚男人间那种内敛的、情义尽在不言中的情感演绎得很好。
影片与其说是在讲北野武，不如实在讲一日为师终生为父的尊师重道精神。
讲述师徒情，整体水准不错，拍出了剧情/传记片该有的样子。结尾也很不错，人物角色都很鲜活。推荐观看。
知道北野武是漫才出生还是从小丸子动画里，一直想学跳踢踏舞，有梦想的人都好闪耀啊…老师真好与其说是北野武的自传感觉更像在感谢老师。柳乐优弥可塑性还是那么高，大泉洋赞，儿时女神林木保奈美依然美丽动人～
又是一部网飞，今年的年度十佳几乎被网飞垄断，讲的是北野武青年在浅草做学徒时期的故事，最后一段长镜头朝花夕拾，透过影像青年老年北野武互相张望，很是感动。推荐大家看一部同样题材的日剧《火花》。
没有什么事情是浪费生命的，什么都不干才是浪费，阿武虽然最后也没干到千春，但顽固坚持价值观“不正确”的段子，还是成功把所有观众“干”了！
影帝发挥出色！师父表演精彩但是！演员太像吴政世了让我看得出戏😰师母竟然是铃木保奈美！😧
也太好哭了吧，以为是北野武的传记，没想到是他师父的。虽然有煽情的成分，但是真的好难过，师父这一生咋这么惨啊呜呜呜
故事：9 情感：9 结构：8 节奏：6
北野武自己来拍，会不会好些，感觉太老实，很用心但没有惊喜。
完全是一部靠情怀和滤镜的影片，就像结尾那个精心设计的非现实长镜，情怀全搁在面上，有种自恋的尴尬。影片到底要表达什么，是否就是最后师父在电梯里的那两句话“不要讨好观众”“你是谐星”，那么影片的三或四个时间段的设定也并不作用于这层表达。如果这不是北野武青年时代的故事，励志实在太过一般，甚至不如【火花】，阿武行事也缺乏更具北野个性的桥段；是浅草法兰西座的怀旧群像吗？但次要角色塑造也缺乏个性与张力。影片也没拍明白短剧和漫才、剧场和电视演出的区别。整部影片节奏感不好，温情过多，热血却少，甚至阿武为何大学辍学来到浅草也被一笔带过；导演甚至太过入世，恐怕因为忌惮分级，脱衣舞店拍得竟也畏畏缩缩，千春也被概念了。换一个逻辑想，以深见师父为核心人物，一个跟不上时代却有执着信念的人，是否更有价值。保奈美真的老了。
北野武上辈子是积了多大的德遇到了这么好的师傅！！！
灵前那段看得我真是又哭又笑（另外，日本七八十年代就已经普及棉条了啊……
浅草小子，与其说是北野武，更是他的师傅浅草的深见。这部电影与其说是讲北野武的故事，不如说是讲深见千三郎。师徒情很感动啊！连最后的告别也要讲笑话，笑着流泪……北野武，是个重情义的人！
这是一部地位应当不输于入殓师的电影。结尾的长镜头是神来之笔。
师娘的地方很好，影帝很努力了，但也可能是北野武只能成为梗却不能是别人演绎的，放弃模仿才更容易演成吧。
全世界的北野武影迷都该感谢浅草的深见千三郎先生。
