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.
比前作少了一点莫名其妙的煽情剧情，但是结尾对于经常看悬疑电影的我本人来说真的很磨叽，我比木村拓哉明白得快多了，下部让我当主角吧。
没想到还能磕到大神和masami的CP。大神片尾的镜头，让我想起了豹里的阿兰德龙，又被帅到了啊啊啊啊
就算有泽村一树、木村佳乃、麻生久美子等实力演员加盟，这剧情还是让人忍不住打瞌睡……应该九十分钟就结束的戏，硬拖到两小时多，一直带观众游花园……编剧检讨一下吧。。
有甜心那就是5颗星满分！不过剧情确实是hmmmm 剧情勉强过关吧
背景设定有点抽象了，人物的动机不够充分，永恒族跟异变族，跟人造人大战沙鲁一样。MCU的登场人物和世界观类型有点太多，快赶上海贼王了。
可能真是把脑子丢在了7000年前的美索不达米亚平原上了吧。
有一个对立很有意思，凶手和全员男性刑警的交手，虽然本片又臭又长，但是我似乎感觉到这种对立的意义。悬疑还挺悬的，但是没啥意思。
2021 #9 太古
果然东野圭吾的本子越来越没法看了，首先凶手杀两个女孩的动机都没有交代清楚，最后杀人时间怎么可能不按照自己的手表设定而按受害者设定，绝对是不可能的事吧？而且这一部看似明星云集，其实除了第一部常设的几个，其他都是过气艺人，日本票房那么高也是怪事一桩。从案件到推理都挺无聊的影片。
7/10 我很喜欢《永恒族》 这种诗意的气质 呈现出的怅惘迷茫 正是永恒族人迷失在时间和自我的写照 这部很不漫威的漫威电影 爱的人会很爱 不喜欢的人也会很不喜欢 一些很隐晦的表达确实不够直接 但太直给又显得套路 导演仿佛在和你在调情 半遮半掩 朦胧暧昧 重构神话和传说 又带着一丝哲学意味 人（神）（伪神）性的挣扎 情与爱 感性与理性 这些都是人类永恒的话题 能在一部漫威超英片里看到导演的探索 我很喜欢 也很感动 片尾伊卡利斯的挣扎 懊丧 和失去信念支撑后的落寞 也让我感慨不已 就像试图逃离克里特岛 飞向太阳的伊卡洛斯 沐浴着太阳的热浪 拥抱死亡 回归原始 这竟让我热泪盈眶
这电影5.8分？我不信，我没觉得有什么大问题，把握的挺好的。
也没太认真看，非常适合跨年，为什么日本排在9月上映呢？但凶手太太太太帅了，一星是特意给凶手的。
木村拓哉和长泽雅美的CP太可以了，但感觉没第一部有趣，做成单元剧形式的日剧多好！
风格和上一部挺一致的，舞台剧感很强，但是明星没有那么多了，上次片尾来了段假面长镜头，这次片尾也有一小段（片头有一段舞蹈）。前面案件云里雾里、扑朔迷离的部分还挺好，但是最终既男又女的凶手的设置、凶手的悲伤故事、凶手和受害者的关系，都没什么说服力，特别是凭借眼睛发现凶手的原因（因为眼睛是女客人的，但是装扮是男的，所以认定这个人就是凶手吗），解释的并不清楚。//里面优秀的酒店人晋升进修是去洛杉矶啊……
漫威的这一波 又开启了新的世界 感觉一个宇宙已经不够玩儿了 要开启更多平行世界 还相互交织 不过感觉上永恒族就是各种技能包不齐的英雄 奇异女博士 弱化闪电女 减配版可飞行独眼龙 等等吧 之前的那几波还不知道什么时候要交汇一下？
喜欢酒店场景因为出场人物一般都非常丰富，但电影却把每一个人都写得这么呆板，完全浪费了这么豪华的卡司
故事是新的，可主题内核还是前作那些关于酒店文化和警察职责的互文关系。于是《假面之夜》就完全成了《假面饭店》单纯的创作升级。围绕一晚的时间，在明处清晰的酒店和警察两方，以及不断变换的嫌疑人。续集在叙事节奏和故事架构，甚至人物塑造上，都要比前作提升很多。更加清晰也更加工整，但是这部作品的格局就是及格分的体量，即便把最终反转悬疑做到了，可依旧不够精彩，也不够戳人。这种结果其实多少个日本创作理念相关，不是更追求强烈的戏剧冲突，而是有人物内在逻辑作为戏剧基础。但“假面”系列恰恰就是把人文关怀都挂在嘴上，看着好看，实则根本没有充足的笔墨来塑造人物，就更别提内在逻辑了，都是表面尊重的花架式。
假面便装舞会这个点更有趣，卡司也是依旧华丽，不过案件本身依旧不复杂，拍出这个效果还行，主要是大神和麻酱很在线
犯罪的动机有点尬。。。麻酱终于去洛杉矶啦。。。
Masquerade Night也以「假面的假面」再次提升了案情的悬疑结构和假面主题的深化，同时"眼泪是真实的"亦是东野圭吾式的「动机的纯粹浪漫」，长泽雅美以「酒店之内的假面时间」的伏笔死里逃生；除了剪辑略显生硬，整体制作技术合格。 #
