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.
宇宙为何恢复？妈知错了。
高概念、动作戏、迷影梗和恶趣味交相辉映，加上俩导天马行空的视觉想象力，至少是保证了一个蛮与众不同的观影体验。但本以为会从混乱的跳转中提炼出某种真挚的情感，结果只是纯粹满足于光怪陆离的形式变化。一会儿陷入nothing matters的虚无主义，一会儿又看到每种可能性中值得把握的美好，实在难以理解各种转折之间的衔接逻辑，无论母女关系还是夫妻关系的和解都显得莫名其妙。
脑补无数部作品。恶趣味面包圈，还有两块石头非常《宇宙尽头的餐馆》。风格化慢动作MV风类似《告白》。后巷男女《花样年华》。冲上二楼打戏《杀死比尔》。女儿夸张妆容《买凶拍人》。手指俯卧撑《金瓶梅2008》。劈门而入《闪灵》。母女纠葛《青春变形记》。直接致敬《料理鼠王》不必说。观影观感也如片名正是everything at once。就这psychedelic的画风，不嗑几片拍不出来
在我期望极高的情况下依然超出预期。绝对是越往后看越好看的电影，前半段简直就是吃了兴奋剂的沃卓斯基全家桶，而在快速剪辑把现实生活撕得粉碎之后，当观众已经被奇想、巧思、梗们晃晕之时，却又可以把碎片们重新拾起来呈现出来。“在普通人生活中寻找奥义”这一套已经不新鲜了，但花了大半部电影剪碎重拼的日常生活万花筒把这个俗气的道理展现得美妙绝伦。我总是认可那些试图给出答案而不只是提出问题的野心，它提出的问题那么大给出的答案又那么小，但论证过程太美妙了到结尾我已经觉得我可以接受任何答案。以及我绝对没想到传统的一代唐人街故事可以和平行宇宙科幻融合得那么完美，我将此归功于导演编剧的巧思。看完就回想，一个关于选择的故事，主角当然应该是一代移民；需要时空警察角色，但又不能与琐碎的日常生活割裂，还有什么比国税局更合适…
在人物书写完全扁平的情况下，依然感谢有人十分精准地拍出了东亚家长脑内无需嗑药就可获得的疯P体验，而且哪怕嗑药的情况下也依然呈现出那种想象和意象二者皆匮乏的刻奇。华裔语境电影从曾经的《推手》《面子》《千年敬启》退化到现在的Crazy Rich Asian或Everything Everywhere All at Once，如同TikTok崛起一般无语。
everywhere ⊙⊙
再说内核，这片女主的种种生活囧境（事业，老公，女儿等等），最后靠“回忆”和所谓的“爱”，就都搞定了，也太童话了吧，真是包治百病。完全是“主观臆想”，这片就是“天马行空”的爆米花煽情烂片。实在闲的没事，看个热闹算了。（我也是真够闲
这电影我只能说能够欣赏但是不能喜欢。感官刺激过载了，看到大约一半的时候我的思绪已经飞出了电影。这个过于过于天马行空的视觉风格真的不是我的菜。漫画，电子游戏，香港功夫电影还有很多很多我大概没看出来的影响和成了这部大杂烩的电影。我最喜欢的部分是动作。剧情只能说挺熟悉的，最近类似的作品是turning red。这电影对我最大的作用是提醒我报税。感觉这是两个导演给漫威拍的面试作品带。
上次有这样的观影体验的电影还是汤浅政明的《心理游戏》······ 如果国内能上映的话去支持一下。
2022年了，亚裔还在开洗衣店，女儿还在叛逆自私，男人还在一言不合就功夫，家庭三代还在烦恼代沟通矛盾，结局还在用爱感化一切。天马行空？ 包装和内核强烈的对比反而衬得主创团队是多么没有创意和脑洞！
人终究要解决的是此生此地的问题，看过太多的世界不过是走马观花。
咱东亚人的家庭关系真的就是紧张到，只能在美国电影里靠超能力和平行时空来解决的程度吗？
这拍的都是些什么乱七八糟的东西啊，海外高华们该是心里压抑变态到了什么程度？好烦装神弄鬼的电影啊，库布里克都要直呼内行。同样老套的内核，我为什么不去看尚气？
此生看过的最好电影前五。神作，太厉害了。杨紫琼真了不起。写得好，拍得好，演得好。一部关于一切的一切的电影。快看！
太洋气了吧！！太好看了吧！！！杨紫琼女儿有几套衣服可以给女团当打歌服
AtOnce：但我仍愿意龟缩在这个我混的最次的宇宙里，因为我虽然见过虚无一切。仍想亲手抓住属于我的小小羁绊。吾爱是我存在的意义。
我也喜欢用脚触碰爱人的感觉，原来我属于热狗手指星球
很久没有看过这么富有想象力和创作性的电影了！表面上是一个脑洞大开的多重宇宙冒险，内核还是一个母亲在回望自己的人生，试图跟自己和解，跟家人和解。每一种人生的可能性，可能都存在缺陷，有得必有失，最后宇宙万物还是归于爱。虽然很美式鸡汤，但它毕竟是一部好莱坞商业电影。
影片有着瑞克和莫蒂式的天马行空打底构想，功夫类型作为动作戏份过瘾，成人化的幽默作为强势添加剂，内核则讲述家庭关系的沟通和理解。
个人觉得电影到变成石头的时候就可以，后面中国家庭式的团结和好太理想化了，父母和孩子之间的矛盾并不是通过说教才能化解。
