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.
怀念童年的儿童电影，如今40岁的我看到那些老家伙的时候还是有点感动的，希望现在的孩子看了这部依然能有幸福感。
6.5傲慢与偏见的gay版吗哈哈哈，小妞电影的套路，没有什么内核的深度思考，但是很chill的爆米花电影
找不出什么值得赞赏的点 连满屏的姣好肉体都嫌多余 北美亚裔txl本就是少数群体 又冠上话多和三八两大致命弱点 令人直摇头 big no ☝️
COOL ! 而且情怀满满，彩蛋笑喷。PS小女主前途无量
看完同样用刻板印象魔改简奥斯汀的《独领风骚》再看这个，实在很难喜欢这样一座自嗨的文化孤岛……
这部既是续集，也算是新的篇章。虽然剧情有些降智，但是总体上没有太多的强行逻辑，而且电影的受众“指定”了曾经的粉丝和儿童，总体来看还是不错的。当然要是挑bug那也是一大堆，比如女主的外公，明明大Boss都要复活了，他就单打独斗，最终撂了自己。就算镇子上的人不信他，全美国不信他，他的那三个队友不信他，他就不能自己培养几个弟子？他就不能请家人出马？怪哉，或许又是编剧背锅。反正老爷子的行为直接诠释了一句话：这年头低调就是找死，只有曝光才有流量，才能生活越来越美好。
小女主以后一定大有可为，无论颜值还是演技，完完全全在线拯救了整部电影，其他人都成为了工具人。这种爆米花电影和稀烂的剧情编导，我还以为是奈飞出来的。
非粉丝，感觉前面还挺带感的，后面这种明显剧情烂尾了
哪怕再怪 世界上也总有一个人能get到所讲笑话的笑点 3933
Will真的太可以 Charlie很cute
从纽约搬到乡村，顿时冷清，儿童向也支撑不起情感，好歹有老班底客串，鬼后也够邪典
说实话，看得我直接打瞌睡，前面一个小时，不知道在干啥，我都要放弃了，就去看了电影解说，发现后面还有特效，于是就去看了，后面特效给电影加一分吧
天啊，是不是每个文艺男同志都喜欢简·奥斯汀和《傲慢与偏见》！2.5+0.5
失败之后往往会以为自己是个婊子狗血的放荡不羁，久而久之，习惯了，以为自己不需要爱情了，当爱来的时候，还以为自己不配拥有，特别害怕呢
就还好吧，在车上把第一个鬼放出来的时候，我在喝茶，吓得我水都洒了一地
Who you gonna call? Call me maybe?
3.9星，可爱的爆米花电影，鬼的部分太傻了，但仍能体会到一种旧作致敬的乐趣。孩子跟爷爷一样脾气古怪执着爱科学，温暖又动人。完全不算恐怖片。
据说是借用了傲慢与偏见的。但不得不说前期引入很生硬。后面就好很多。
240th 骄傲月很轻松的gay妞电影，男酮版傲慢与偏见，更难得的是以亚裔为主角。
