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.
北海道巨星演得好好。说实话我是在去浅草寺初詣的那天，在浅草商店街看到的海报，而且还有北海道巨星大大的脸，我以为北海道巨星才是演主角的……好在片子很不错。以及我说麻里怎么那么漂亮有气质，原来是莉香！
天呢太感动了 柳乐优弥这次演技真的赞！北野武所有不自觉的面部抽搐都学到精髓
从北野武自己写的传记「菊次郎与佐纪」见见他的父母，再从「浅草小子」了解他的师父深见千三郎，大概就能明白为什么他是北野武了。
讲师徒情谊的部分最好，镜头语言克制内敛，也不过分煽情。唯独门胁麦饰演的“女主角”（？）故事线感觉很多余，就算拿掉也毫不影响。
大师的话说的很对啊，不要扮丑被人笑，要靠技艺逗人笑。
年轻时候北野武的故事，应该大多数国内观众都不怎么熟悉吧，还是挺有意思的。
感觉北野武哪一段经历拿出来都比这有意思，拍得还是挺老套的师徒片。柳乐优弥为了学北野武的歪嘴说话估计也挺辛苦，但真的很出戏啊艹
结尾的长镜头真得是催泪，谁不想在晚年的时候有这么一个回眸长镜头呢。让人想起《堕落街传奇》里最后一集的长镜头。整个片子拍得非常工整流畅，没有太多花招，踏踏实实地讲完了北野武的这段经历，大泉洋和柳乐优弥发挥出色，张弛有度。能脑补出北野武看得时候骂骂咧咧说拍得什么玩意，然后又一边落泪嘴角抽搐的样子。
挺标准的好片，我们小柳真是有他的性感啊。大泉洋也很好，铃木保奈美姐姐真是太好看了
舞蹈略长……たけし准确地踩在时代的鼓点上，但他有一颗尊重传统（基础）的心，师傅给了他最高级的尊严。电影是对父权的挑战和尊重，浅草小子在葬礼上的玩笑是他璀璨的新生，非常感动。
剧场有兴衰，演艺生涯会起伏，艺术还是要靠传帮带——一个有趣的故事就被奈飞改成了这样无趣的剧本，就和结尾处刻意的长镜头一样无趣。好在演员们实在给力。
真挚的师生情，看似粗糙却细致入微。最让人感动的地方，是北野武给师傅递高跟鞋那个场景，千言万语尽在不言中了。另外，很喜欢的两位女演员：门胁麦和铃木保奈美都担当了重要角色，让影片增色不少。
一开始完全没注意到北野武是cos的，哈哈哈哈哈。太厉害了。两个演员都好棒
好日一故事好标准一电影。近年拍昭和好像都用同一套视觉，虚但好看。片尾曲是桑田佳祐好喜歡嗚嗚（门胁麦無理）。
非常动人，最后看的一直在哭，遇到一个好的老师真的太重要了。
虽然挺老套的 但我还挺吃师徒这一套 更喜欢大泉洋的演出一点 女演员也都相当棒 门胁麦和铃木保奈美
电视冲击下，喜剧人的奋进和辛酸。逗笑的段子里满是眼泪，师徒情青春恋也都是传统的。艺术手法很合我的口味，所以给了五星。推荐一下。
师傅太好了，思恋和孺慕之情快溢出屏幕了……
影帝先天条件注定难以还原北野大爷接地气的人格魅力，某些段落不排除为了抓马效果作了美化。但就凭对舞台喜剧还保留基本的尊重，以及与循序渐进的追梦过程相映衬的深入细节的现实刻画，这片子就值得一看
非常工整的复古影像。情感扎实的昭和挽歌。浅草小子，是北野武面瘫下的不忍。粗浅理解了北野武残酷美学的背后。
