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.
畸形的母爱，“母亲”为了自己的“女儿”而死。一人分饰两角的小女儿演的挺好
构思还不错，就是制作成本低了，拍不出很多惊悚片的感觉来，欧洲小国电影只能这样了？
哇 好北欧的horror。小女孩太能演了吧。
影片是社会家庭关系矛盾的折射，而“孵化”到最终的“异变”(人死，而鸟变人)，也许导演想表达青春期的敏感话题
背景音乐不错
真的很棒，最近看过的恐怖片里面最棒的一部，芬兰的风景很加分。
全家长得不太聪明的样子，充满了中产的刻板印象和危机
前阵子才看了羊惧，然后又看了孵化……北欧对人和动物结合的题材真是乐此不疲
下载和远晴一起看的，虽然没看过原作，但是魔方大厦还是不可磨灭的，小演员们选的都挺好，远晴说反派小女生像马尔福哈哈哈哈哈哈，爸爸妈妈和鲁西西的对话也很有现实感，不错！就是最后灭火太假了！顺利偷走了皮皮鲁的直升机哈哈哈哈 最后郑渊洁还露一小脸~
导演关于情节节奏的掌控实在是一团乱麻，再多的隐喻与深奥的表达也索然无味
谈不上恐怖。整体结构较小，叙述与表达都比较窄。
紧张的亲子关系孵育出的暗黑面。纯把“鸟人”看成女主第二人格，剧情会出现很多漏洞。当成芬兰怪谈，鸟人是负面情绪滋养所生，真实存在，解决掉女主厌恶的一切后取代女主上位。
#Sundance 2022 3.5星，虽然剧情并不像，但却莫名觉得看了一部芬兰版的《遗传厄运》是怎么回事...以及妈妈这个角色演得真好尤其是皮笑肉不笑的时候。（这片子里的芬兰语听起来好像泰语）
就冲这些，追回到4星。
还挺喜欢近些年北欧拍的奇幻类电影，有想象力，有人文思考。
以为会用蛋本身以及孵化这个动作承载心理恐怖肇生的全部，不料蛋破壳得太早，整出故事的超自然点便成了小女孩与怪物生心的纠缠态及早已泛滥的“鸠占鹊巢”式反转。但就反刍喂食、畸形价值观家庭教育与“孵化”巧妙关联来说，细思恐极的讽刺效果高分达成。
作为成年人来说真的满场bug，甚至角色和剧情也都设计得很极端，但作为童话和他想批判的唯分数论来说，丢掉脑子也是看得下去的xxx就挺适合让家长看的hhhh
北欧的恐怖片真是独树一帜，虽然结局还是有点不明不白，但整体创意真是强悍，演女儿的小演员演技真好，妈妈演员是可怕的感觉
无论是故事的叙述还是小演员的选择，都与前几年的短片《驯兔记》相差甚远。但其间很多道理还是对的，这么说吧，优点都是郑渊洁的，缺点都是导演的。
隐喻比较直白，对抗完美家庭的压力，女孩人格分化为乖乖女和怪物鸟。
