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.
3.5～四字弟弟真的演什么像什么！还有就是大家的生活都不容易，不要轻易评价别人的生活～～
片名起的不是很好 故事也挺套路的happyending 但是演技都还是不错的
边看边哭......作为一个深二代，电影里的某些片段真的让我感同身受
灵啊，太灵了易烊千玺 看完真的缓解了我一天的坏心情 不顺心的事真的太多了 祝大家都好景常在
很假先不说，其他我不敢说，那就这样吧。。。。
属于那种一看到开头就知道结尾的爽片，但这绝对是近两年最喜欢的电影了。套路化的剧情因为暖人的底色而格外打动人心，相比于名校的精英对利益的考量，底层工人爷爷的粗糙而内敛的真情才能在柴米油盐的生活中恒久留存，创造奇迹
只要通过电影，通过这部电影乍看愚蠢的名字：奇迹。
当幸福来敲门的剧本结构，故事的可信度其实一般，三星半，题材是真好。冲着一水厉害的客串加一星，田壮壮老师出镜好几次呢。
心痛麻了
毫无我不是药神的感觉，难以想象这是同一个导演的作品，锋芒全无。电视剧水准的画面，无数的刻意煽情镜头和情节，失去了动人感觉……
三星半。相依为命真是又孤独又温暖的一个词，人担着责任，负重前行，可真累啊。影片非常用力地讲了一个艰难创业的故事，夹杂了很多元素，但是煽情太多。可是又一想，生活太苦了，煽点儿情掩盖下那背后的残酷，似乎也好过点儿了。
标准商业电影，经不起细节的推敲，靠群像撑起故事和立意，结局与煽情都是意料之中且刻意。优点似乎找不到，缺点也不明显，是一部没什么特别意思的片子。电影最后一个个的人物介绍，最无聊了，有意思吗？
太满了，为了达成精准煽情励志的任务，啥都往里填啊塞啊铺的垫啊，完全不让人喘口气啊（第一次看电影嫌音乐吵-_-）
如果结尾不那么煽情就更好了
类型片了。给了许多深圳光鲜的特写，也没有回避深圳的现实。结尾过于理想了，但有时我们需要那一点美好，即便我们知道那很虚妄。
补标，大过年带着《药神》的期待看的，后悔没带家人去看《杀手》。整体看下来感觉视角过分聚焦在男主身上，其他配角多少有点工具人的意思，不像《药神》的群戏来得精彩与生动。
拍不出来不用硬拍，每一个部分都好割裂，看得让人烦躁
很克制的深圳故事，4字弟弟不错。原来女工就是《恋爱的犀牛》的齐溪
说实话这部电影我没看下去 看了一半就关了 也能猜的到最后的结局 现实中的打工人终究还是卑微的打工人 这种有毒鸡血给别人打吧
主角没有人物弧光，显得单薄了些。不过易烊千玺凭借自己身上矛盾的少年稚气和成熟偏执，很大程度上弥补了这点缺失。
