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.
25.12.2020 | @ Disney+ | 依旧很好啊，但也许因为太喜欢Inside Out的缘故觉得这部没前作更有共鸣。
看了内心毫无波澜甚至有一点儿想笑，动画做得蛮好的，猫咪也可爱，but，这个内核，谁爱信谁信，反正半点没有打动我
每一条鱼都活在水里。
是一碗熬得很好的，起承转合很圆熟的漂亮的鸡汤，不过除了心灵学院这个设定比较有趣，其他的其实都很套路。这里面讨论的问题我想过太多次，答案也是最大众最喜闻乐见的……所以看完也得不到什么。可能觉得被抚慰了一点点？
皮克斯总是在枯燥平庸乏味的生活里寻找火花，然后点亮它，光芒照耀在每一位观赏皮克斯作品的普通人身上。皮克斯让我这类平凡的人知道我们有平凡的权利或者不平凡的可能性。
年度最佳纪录片：《从灵魂离开身体后到灵魂投入生命前》。
从哪一刻你觉得想要这辈子搞这个了？如果人生还有第二次机会你会做什么？干了这杯Pixar的鸡汤，猫咪好评。灵魂学院的宝宝们可爱度好评。全场大人小孩喝得还是很嗨的，不过也有不少成年人才能体会到的辛酸和梗。赞美细节，爵士钢琴家手型勾还是不勾都做出来了，整个剧本很不错，笑点也算密集，音乐本身倒不算惊艳。二刷一定要找一个平日下午，以往常能包场的ume今天竟然那么多人，阔怕！片尾有一个很小的彩蛋。
前10分钟爱极了它的音乐还有对生前&身后世界的设定和画风，后面就是逐渐消耗那股心动的过程……如果像22一样在理论层面上见过一些“世面”、同时又像孩子一样第一次用感官体验人生的种种细节，我们都会sparks爆棚，但等22在各种主义的捶打下度过几十年后会变成什么样，就是大家看完电影被抚慰被触动过后第二周又回到的那个样子吧？不管怎么说，每年都要感谢pixar给我们90分钟的抚慰和希望
还是套路不到我...不过后劲好大啊，从电影院回来的路上环顾四周，每一个细小的物件都似乎变得熠熠生辉，吃饭的时候也会更加仔细咀嚼品尝味道了......生活啊生活，就算梦想实现了也还是要生活...感觉那些老生常谈的道理，今天第一次被打入内心
一个偶然的机会去重新认识人生与生活。爱好是一种性格，却不足以激发出完整性格碎片的火花，而像二十二一样接触到落叶仰望天空的那一刻，才是最触动的对生命对生活的本质向往。皮克斯对奇幻与情感元素的拿捏真的很精准，无论是寻梦环游记还是心灵奇旅，总能抓住生活中最细微的感动，并赋予它奇幻的魔力。
鸡汤，鲜香，味浓，暖身。光速和自己和解！不再努力写什么深刻的短评！有什么关系呢，就是因为看了很开心！所以给了这个分！
可能我最近有点问题，毫无波动看完。猫和爵士和声优们三星。其实当音乐老师和晚上在酒吧演奏冲突有很大吗
配乐也非常让我沉醉，不论是爵士乐，还是抽象的灵魂世界的配乐风格，还是现实世界里岁月静好的宁静配乐，都与影片有着非常高的契合度。
想象力很丰富，很喜欢那只猫～不过spark不是人生目标，而是所谓活的当下，这样的说教似乎太空洞了。在特定社会结构中，个体难以获得成功，不被社会承认，就很容易退回到每个瞬间的感动中以求残存的意义，这种被逼退却既然作为一种防御而出现，就自然带有意识形态特性，实则掩饰内心痛苦，反向巩固社会秩序。真实的生命不应该割裂目标和当下感动之间的关系。
大部分时间我是不是也像joe一样看片追剧追番🤪最后变成迷失的灵魂？天呐，我只想每分每秒被有趣的故事麻醉上瘾🙃
人生的目的不重要，享受过程～皮克斯还是这么会讲故事。
以及。生活，永远的生活。
一曲献给大苹果城的赞歌。这座城市的生活乱七八糟，但总有让你不经意间喜欢上的地方。现在看这种烟火气尤其想念。然而对于长期生活在纽约或者北京这种城市之外的人来说，哪怕是生活在波士顿，可能也没那么容易共情了。活在当下不是及时行乐，而是庆祝生命的无意义，也算是挑战了自我实现的神话和宏大叙事。然而真正的现实生活里可能也并不缺少发现美的眼睛，而是缺少发现美的精力。在影片中，异化的对象是偏执的精英，但异化的本来概念不是偏执，而是人成为糊口的工具，无意义也是由此而来。22代表了我们这些看破而困倦于现代生活无聊之中的人，但地铁里那些双目无神的打工人，他们未必就不懂得坐在街角看落叶的美好，也未必就该被当成不懂得活在当下的反面典型。PS. 纽约尼克斯梗太损了。PPS. 最后22好像落到四川去了…
有梦想很燃，但生活在这个世界上的本身就是一件美好的事。
