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.
以前我没得选择，现在我想做一个好人。老少咸宜的合家欢动画片，放在当前的内地院线真是可惜了。
一个看到开头就能猜到结局的故事。魔幻世界里的善恶交变，坏人的视角向世界呼唤爱。配乐简直堪称模板！
围绕着nature and nurture的探讨，与Zootopia的相似程度到了迪士尼可以起诉侵权的程度。总是能在此类动画中，找到Anthropomorphism运用范围的微妙之处。为什么狼、蛇、蛛、鲨、食人鱼、狐狸、兔子可以拟人化，但是猫仍然是动物。为什么Professor Rupert这只豚鼠可以拟人化，但是其它的豚鼠仍然是动物。
梦工厂想要复制皮克斯的成功，那我只能说：dream works！设定完全比不上《疯狂动物城》，世界观不明晰，部分场景简直在侮辱观众智商，就连剧情上的反转也很粗糙，黑切白白切黑就像开玩笑，但是角色设计还是不错的，魅力也展现出来了，电影之外应该能让福瑞控狂欢一阵子吧。
依然是费里尼啊。这个男孩子跟所有人都不一样，仿佛并不真正在场。比甜茶可爱多了不是么
老狼简直就是乔治克鲁尼量身定制，《十一罗汉》《碟中谍》的风格十足；剧情中规中矩，奥卡菲娜的口音辨识度太高了。7/10 “not bad” pun intended.
68/100 不温不火，偶尔精致但缺乏真正的激情，别把费里尼拉到地面上去了。
一直在等解封，下载了忍着没看，非常适合影院观影的合家欢，节奏非常紧凑，场面特别热闹，很多细节我还没来得及细看，高能点不少。wolf太帅了...我以为我早已过了喜欢动物主角的年纪了。。。让镜头拉进说话可老练又坏坏的感觉，一出场的白西装就被苏到了，山姆洛克威尔配音真棒啊，他就是wolf本狼，一样样的感觉。本片最好玩的点就是很多生草的设定，就特喵离谱，认认真真的离谱，这样都行哈哈哈哈哈，特别对我胃口。
从「绝美之城」（或者更早）开始，我就对索伦蒂诺有一种偏爱。其中的一种解释可以是因其富有想象力的镜头语言，另一种则和费里尼相似——所传递的悲伤是透过喜剧放大的。同样对家庭代际群像的描画又不时想到「一一」。
上次看到这么精彩且幽默的动画大作还是《疯狂动物城》！希望能有续集～
为什么很多人拿他和疯狂动物城比啊，明明差的很远啊！！！！
那不勒斯的一曲傷感讚歌，总是彻夜不眠之后的黎明景象最为动人
救命，也太套路了吧，毫无惊喜(除了偶然几个点还挺搞笑的……)
开头十分惊艳，不仅整了个长镜头，还打破了第四面墙。后面“红爪”的几次精彩表现拯救了逐渐走向俗套的剧情。整体还是挺好看的。推荐一波。
2022.5.2 比北美晚一周上映 吐…因为拱墅疫情导致没任何公共交通也没影院开着学校还封校就看不了了…4.30拱墅就取消二级响应了！5.2实习生也解封了！马上买票来看了太激动了啊啊啊 来的是下沙的华元电影大世界很老的影院了 不愧是梦工厂只能说 就是3d真的太暗了…特别是我这个老影城银幕还这么差的情况下 虽然说很多部分真的甚至都可以猜得到但完全不套路 应该是近期院线片最佳体验了!!5个坏蛋+市长都好有个性我都好爱啊 有点发条橙的意味 就是想把坏人教化成好人嘛 但确实没想到市长和那个豚鼠都是大坏蛋哈哈哈 经典的抢银行的开片 后面准备干票大的 却因为帮助了一个老太后偷东西时犹豫了就被抓起来然后灵机一闪让豚鼠帮他们变好 后从豚鼠那抢回陨石 其实可以五星的 服了刚看完下午就出资源了…
喜欢开场的那段，从文本到分镜，快准狠且有趣地做出了人设，后面实在是太套路了，主题也很无聊，团伙角色沦为模糊背景。
宣传挺多的，之前刷ins全是这个广告。一个产品。
狐狸的人设真好，有勇有谋 ，有正义又有邪的那面，有火花但不恋爱脑
如此私人的青春追忆，本片无论是运镜还是音乐的使用都反而是索伦蒂诺近年来最为克制的一部，但却并没有妨碍他塑造一个又一个鲜活角色与各种饱满而复杂的情感，让这样一个前后基调相差巨大的故事没有丝毫的不适感，可能这就是真实的力量吧
疯狂动物城后，大家都想做新一出的疯狂动物城，但是质量创意都不及，本片开头不错，后续算是中规中矩的叙事。没有大缺陷没有大惊喜梦工厂常规作品。
