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.
皮克斯不会让人失望！故事设定在千禧年的多伦多，这种时代感和华人社会独有的一种关系特色结合地特别好，有一定年纪的华人会觉得特别感同身受。感觉竹林和中国古典乐器这些元素被西方影视玩得特别好。外婆阿姨们变身加上男孩乐队那段大合唱看得让人莫名其妙热血沸腾，太可爱了。
也太好看了吧！grandma aunts一起变身的时候一个爆哭！呜呜呜呜
情节有点刻奇了, 各种元素的古怪杂糅——唐人街的亚裔群像、宗祠观念、女性自我、追星、欧美中学，以及一丝莫名其妙的家族传说式的玄幻叙事,想要形成创意上的对撞却没有融合成流畅的整体，就显得整部片子很散很糙很迷。
~怪不得没有引进，刻板印象太重了。中华文化的形，装的还是美式价值观的酒。。。
本来以为是个可爱精巧的romcom，结果是探索人性的剧情片。我一开始是比较同感南希，到后来会比较同感里奥。我觉得如果我是里奥，第三次会面之后我绝不会再见南希了。她越界了，但是剧情表现的好像是她推到里奥的成长。爱玛汤普森的表演绝对是影后级别的，但是我觉得编剧对南希太宽容了。
标准的迪士尼动画套路 标准的美式价值观输出
2022年了还要拍老年女性的性解放，不禁疑惑半个世纪前的年轻人真的比现在更保守吗？当然只看Daryl肉身也值了。
而我一直保持了红熊猫的样子 成为了家里的异类
作为华东地区长大的人，真的不太懂那个ritual，一下子有些割离感
故事内容还是有点太老套了，我也没共鸣，我妈也totally不是controlling freak。就是小熊猫也太可爱了，超fluffy
emmm…可能看之前被灌输了很多，所以看的时候少了很多惊喜。定位低领化，我也能接受，所以就很顺畅的剧情。虽然最后有被燃到，又燃得有点刻意。
11.3 故事写的也太棒了吧！！！相信每一个传统中国人好孩子都感同身受吧。小熊猫激萌。。。
【7.5=】不光是在讲“成长的烦恼”，这层太常见了。真正属于中式家庭的问题是“归顺的遗传”。强控制欲的照顾总结起来就是“不要耍个性，不要抖机灵，不要以为我找不到你”。竹林里小女孩牵着妈妈一步步从青春走到中年，却始终看不见笑容。如果变红真的是在讲女性的成熟，那么这部电影其实是在告诉大家应该做个什么样的女人，不是被传统禁锢的、为家庭牺牲的，而是可以勇敢反抗的。长辈们已经无法回头，但至少下一代可以坚定地在门前停下。在迪士尼那，这主题很正确，而在我们这，这很危险。
虽然石之予对亚洲家族关系尤其是母亲形象仍旧难逃刻板印象，但是我却觉得通过亲族关系最为密切也是最为紧张的东亚裔来展现并且思考亲情，是很有代表性的，爱与控制欲的此消彼长在这个过程当中展现的淋漓极致，尤其是用小熊猫的变身来意象化成长所带来的善与恶，很多人长大后都成为了自己小时候不成想到或者很难理解的那种大人吧，看电影的时候我想到不是母女的对比，而是另外一个毫不相关的人物，金庸笔下的黄蓉，谁能想到射雕英雄传里面精灵古怪的少女，会成为神雕侠侣里面最为封建守旧的恶长辈呢？ 成长真奇妙，大家，彼此多一些理解吧
每一个控制狂父母曾经可能是一个被高要求的小孩，继续重蹈覆辙。
而我一直保持了红熊猫的样子 成为了家里的异类
三星半，前半段实在是吵吵闹闹，但是抵不过亚裔母女关系的处理就是很独特。另外，无条件支持在皮克斯闯荡的中国女生。
居然是个话剧电影。悟了，只有鸭才有耐心去懂一个女人。
接受比抗拒更加需要勇气。Abby太太太太太可爱了吧！！！！！！！！
好可爱呀！有些情节真的太感同身受了，麻麻时时刻刻的关爱也确实让人会感到压抑
