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.
最后和妈妈在竹林那段看哭了，好熟悉的窒息感，但我选择自私点
做的很棒
套壳中国文化的好莱坞亲情电影，可惜略懂皮毛...
这一次给鸡娃上头的我洗脑，怎样才是真正的爱，怎样才是真正的快乐。
阳光姐妹淘，很美好
3.5星。谁能不爱男团啊（重点误。同事聊起这部电影，吐槽美美像极了职场上的某种奋斗批，从违抗母亲立定的优秀标准开始，她就远离这种塑形道路了吧。那种没有审美没有个性，只知道一味的迎合领导标准，在各项指标中力求第一的应试教育式奋斗批。
各种设定真的好真实，简直就是在讲我本人（开玩笑）… 正片竟然没有Bye Bye Bye真是让人失望😂 但是竟然有Bootylicious… 准备再看一遍粤语配音版🐼🧡
成长什么的不重要，红熊猫太可爱了太可爱了，妈妈熊真的巨大一只哈哈哈哈哈哈
三星半，对不起没有办法思考了真的太！！！！！！！！！可爱了！！苍天啊我一个嫌弃毛绒玩具的人此刻真的想要一个！已经失去理智！！
特别喜欢，作为亚洲人挺共情的，没有在种族这件事上感受到丝毫不适。在meimei第一次仪式和小熊猫面对面的时候一下就哭了，后面一直又哭又笑，不是因为具体的什么情节，而是一种从心里的纯粹的感动。最后我真想说小熊猫也太可爱了！
真的幽默十足，喜欢男团、喜欢男神的中二街头黑怕女孩，还有毛茸茸巨萌的大红猫咪。
Only one panda is cute?

难以解释的神秘东方人
话痨电影，刻画了一个不可能存在的完美人类和一个真实的烦人的人类。女主第一次见男主心情复杂问：谢天谢地你不是被强迫的吧？玩了两次开始强调x服务该被合法。脑子被烧坏了？种种越界行为让人不适。披着女性自我解放挣脱枷锁皮的美丽性幻想，并没有比低俗的五十度灰要好。
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。
對我而言堪稱是“中式（或廣式）家庭子女的噩夢重現”，被時刻與更完美的人設（父母自己或者別人家的孩子）進行比較，永遠要壓抑自己內心的需求，永遠要帶著對叛逆的負疚感，朋友要經過篩選，不能行差踏錯，永遠要選擇他們認為的正確答案，才能被認可。一旦不能成為他們所預期的那類人，會得到“生舊叉燒都好過生你”的指責。絕大多人沒有機會像美美那樣，得到嚴苛父母的一句“對不起”，哪怕父母的錯已嚴重扭曲了一個孩子的認知，內化成了是孩子自己選擇的人生，即便這並不適合ta，即便會給ta的人生留下巨大的禍根。想起前不久跟我媽溝通的那樣，她說自己喜歡“乖的小孩”，我便表明“她其實根本不喜歡孩子，因為懂事和乖，不是孩子的天性，我也是，所以我不應該要孩子。”
「虎妈猫爸」式的育儿经变奏曲，内核就挺东亚的——极强超我约束下，如何释放本我，发展自我，这种经验还挺具有普遍性的。
满屏的中国风好评，本片既有对教育的反思，又有对自己情绪的掌控，成长不是压抑自己的内心，而是坦然并认可自己的不足，接受自己的不完美。
红熊猫是挺萌的 但是妈妈这个人设我不太理解
