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.
就...很真实。这不就是近几年美国总结报告么... 然后这片子在美国评分极低，烂番 茄56% 谷歌3.8 IMDB 7.2... 用评分表示：我不愿抬头看
末日喜剧，荒诞疯狂，讽刺的肆无忌惮。如果网飞你敢把联合国那群王八蛋也拍进去，我愿意给五星。
一些自以为是的讽刺幽默，搞了半天也没讲出什么新鲜玩意，权当看看这个豪华阵容。前夫真的完全就是胖头鱼本鱼
太写实了，这就是我们的现实世界。政治如同弱智儿童的游戏，资本，媒体，公众，样样都无比拉垮。面对新冠肆虐的两年，看看我们的社会干了多少蠢事儿。生活要继续，毁灭了，只能说明不配继续。
一气呵成 要啥有啥 结尾略俗但用笑点科幻弥补 教科书
把剧情设定上的“毁灭地球的彗星”替换成“变异到希腊字母快不够用的新冠病毒”，不仅毫无违和感且立马可以从科幻喜剧片“不要抬头”变成大型参与类纪录片——《不要戴口罩》。都不止是要素过多了，可以说说全是现实要素没有一丝剧情，导演编剧太有梗了，这完全就是一部反“传统美式英雄主义”的集大成之作，很多刻意玩梗的片段结合近两年疫情下的美国显得格外写实，果然现实往往比电影小说更加魔幻和真实呀，好几个镜头停顿我差点以为是在看美国新闻直播，一时间都不知道是好笑还是好哭。
所以，在一个讽刺现实的片子里，还是会不自觉的流露出一些自大，这算惯性吧？
一部喜剧却看得人一肚子闷气，鸡同鸭讲从来都是血压升高情绪爆炸的导火索，反讽力度拉满结尾彩蛋更上层楼——而就目前大势但凡资姓国的现实情况恐怕不比电影好到哪里去；这电影拍出来除了恶心自己也误伤了别人，非常具有喜剧内核但就是笑不出来，太难受了。。// PS. A妹开口跪！
就还行吧，前面展开得不错，很浅显的讽刺笑果也不错，中后段就有点温吞，再把时长缩半小时会更好，这群破人类早该灭绝了就不要再拖延这半小时了吧！
极具讽刺意味的黑色幽默，贴合近2年的世界实事动向。当年鲁迅说国人麻木不仁，百年后，连美国人也意识到了麻木不仁带来的危害和本身的可笑。
当今世界不就是这部电影的姊妹篇《Don’t Go Out》 吗？
Netflix 没什么期待看居然很惊喜。作为一个落后于时代连油管视频都不爱看更受不了大众娱乐潮流的人自然觉得每分每 秒的讽刺都踩在点上。轻飘飘说句谁都能说的“娱乐至死”没什么意思，拍成俩小时电影还挺有意思的。看的过程里憋闷、生气、愤怒，但结局和彩蛋都引起极度舒适。
娱乐化世代，一切都可以娱乐化，更可怕的是，拥有权力的政治家和拥有巨大资本的资本家勾结起来以后，那么即使是人类末日这种事情，也逃不过被操控的命运。对于站在金字塔顶端的精英们来说，普通人的绝境，未必是他们的绝境。片名叫《不要抬头》，然而更多的时候，上层精英把控一切，底层人民连抬头的危机意识都不会有，这才是最残酷的。
其实让人印象最深刻的是剪辑，真的胆子挺大的
挺有趣的剪辑，有在故意制造焦虑和靠近宏大叙事。表演过于浮夸，消解了大部分现实意义，也让影片从政治喜剧跌落至滑稽闹剧。/ 2022第一部
用大白话来讽刺也是相当的过瘾，为了黑而黑的笑点更符合网络快消时代的气质。面对危机下所有人的应对状态，不正像现在正在经历疫情的我们一样吗？
麦凯的重组式讥讽过于直白却富有层次感，对现实世界的哈哈镜式乖张映照中始终透露着失望乃至些许无力的绝望，但在最后也留下了对人类能够进行深度自省的期许；话说这群星闪耀的卡司里，里朗斯表现力有点超神啊。
首先是不够荒诞，尤其是在这个post-covid这个本就很荒诞的现实环境下看……其次也不够好笑，除了Meryl的表演；然后虽然众星云集，但出来的效果大多一般吧（Mark Rylance不要再演电影了啊啊啊啊啊
又见甜茶，大表姐好久不见。反讽既直白又粗暴，但也正是《不要抬头》最好笑的地方。 / 2022.1.7 家
7.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。整体挺一般的，没什么特别的大场面，不过放在疫情这两年的社会背景中，真的有点魔幻现实主义。。。最后有一个小彩蛋。。。
