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.
有人收获纯真美好的爱情，有人守护不完美的婚姻……
美轮美奂的质感，帝国斜阳时代的旧日。不同于大洋彼岸镀金时代的爵士乐，全剧洋溢着浓浓、真正的英伦风情，这是属于不列颠的时光。
爽片。所有剧情都依着角色的意愿发展。一个矛盾出现，下一秒立马解决。单薄但是对于老影迷来说，很爽。
电影院看的，没看过之前的
I wish you well.
故事和质感比上一部提升了很多。在怀旧时代这样的电影真的看一部少一部
每次看唐顿，看到所有人都能拥抱充满希望的新生活，迈入柳暗花明的新纪元，每个人都有光明的未来，作为观众特别开心。
oh 中间好好笑，只是大家都很完美的时候老太太却离开了。唐顿庄园太太太好看啦！
以一场婚礼开始，一场葬礼结束，还有一个新生命，确实是new era，这一部比上一部好多了，但是lady Mary感觉老了好多啊，跟小茶杯的这一段有点可惜，根本没有火花！最后巴罗真的跟那个演员走了啊，感觉不会有好结局诶。
怎么会有过了那么久，还那么好看的IP啊。不过有点遗憾巴罗要走了，还以为他会和玛丽一起抵抗唐顿的时间。
觉得没有第一部好看，更没有原剧好看，期待大失望也有点大，但总体来说还是很不错了，想给个3.5。
本身定位就是粉丝向电影，唐家屯的粉丝能被如此宠着真实万分荣幸！
一个时代的落幕。Mary也许会成为另一个granny，但没有人可以替代这一个granny。
Marked the times that have passed, and the people who have been with you.
Downton Abbey也断断续续陪伴了我近10年，还能从Lady Mary口中听到对Matthew的怀念， 从一开始不喜欢Thomas到为他的新人生而激动落泪，还有楼上楼下每一个可爱的人，以及金句制造机奶奶一路走好，无法形容我对唐顿的爱，最后请让唐顿止于此。
以葬礼开始，以葬礼结束。一起经历了繁华、背叛、战争、战争后的伤痛，还有失去，以及失去之后的继续。生活在继续，而且无论如何都会继续。幸有这样的好故事伴我左右。
虽说是新时代到来，传承的精神和两代掌舵人会做的选择是一样的，这可能是我没那么买账的原因。
不是唐顿庄园的常规观众或粉丝 只是路过 服装真古典好看 剧情也很流畅
大概是那份克制和尊重 无论多么狗血俗套的剧情他都能克制而温情的展现出一个人物一群人物之间的深层情感 让你感觉无论楼上楼下都有着自己的位置 自己的艰难 自己的光芒 甚至散发出一丝丝不真实的美好气息
不知道以后还会不会继续拍下去，19年得知要上映影版激动的不行。当时好像是上课间隙一个人去新远看的。这一次好巧不巧，也是只能一个人去看了，仿佛又回到了原点一般。当时很伤感觉得老夫人要去世了，所以没想到会有第二部上映。而这一次她真的走了，唐顿也要接受这些离别啊，生活也得继续下去。
