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.
很有趣的一部电影。整部影片从儿子里昂需要完成学校布置的纪录片作业开始引出，慢慢刨开一个有着精致外表的意式家庭种种不堪的内核，曾经为了家庭收入而放弃学位从事餐厅工作的出轨的丈夫，为了家庭和孩子成长而放弃建筑设计转而做家具销售的终日忙碌的“妻子”，在二十周年结婚纪念日的家庭聚会上，一个第三者的出现，打破了这其中微妙的平衡。他们有多久没有好好正视这段关系，他们还懂彼此吗？会为倾听彼此的悲伤和恐惧吗？还能记起曾经不顾一切也要在一起的勇敢和坚定吗？不禁让人引发思考：残破不堪的情感关系是否值得维护？如何更好的去处理一段亲密关系？影片是happy ending，但还是给我带来不一样的体验：“人在不同的年龄段，需要的亲密关系是不同的，努力的成为彼此需要的人，坦诚真挚地对待每一段关系，婚姻并没有那么可怕。”
故事新奇,剧情drama,同志夫夫养崽成人,遇中年情感危机,小男主的片段都挺不错的,有那对兄妹都挺有cp感，最后主题回归血缘不是亲情唯一的纽带，家人间无私的爱更加珍贵
有现实主义的内涵，但是男宝好多，丧偶式育儿和重男轻女也作为特色展现了🤣
7个不同风格的绘本短片。本想着要不要跟球球一起看，可是看的过程觉得他不一定能看得懂，还是有一定深度的。7.4分1865评价
其实很多部分明明是悲剧，却用轻快的音乐给中和了，所以看起来没有那么悲伤，最后的结局也很感人。
都是小人物的生活，看着好温暖，尤其在这几年的艰难时世，给人光明和力量
爱关于同性家庭与代孕孩子之间的故事，是共同的经历组成千丝万缕的爱。
这样无条件的爱在原生家庭也十分难得，主角死党家的故事可以作为对比展开，双胞胎的设定显得毫无意义
呜呜呜！演员们的颜值我爱死了！啊啊啊！评分让我来顶！
萤火虫女孩，温情聊斋，年轻人去了山那边不回来了3/5
不过没有明显惊喜，就我了解的绘本，种类材质主题目前都非常丰富，期待更多改编，元素也更加多元，风格也能更大胆一点，除了感情路线，也期待更多自然，神话，科普，哲学，历史等各种风格，我记得蔡志忠就有很多创意哲学风格，期待更多突破，加油😊！
有点点可惜电影里，两个爸爸那么美好的感情，经营着很幸福的家庭，在经过二十年后，竟然等来的是一方出轨。
爱时用力爱，恨时用力恨。最后还是为了孩子，对孩子才是真爱！
这部电影挺不错的，真实又治愈，电影很温馨很感人，推荐观看
中国需要更多这样关注小故事、质感多样化的动画电影:)
有回忆祖孙情的《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，
好遗憾，再也不能用孩子的视角去看这个世界了
#冬暖影展#画风各有特色，故事温馨、感人，而且西南官话含量过高。最喜欢第六个毛宁导演的故事，像散文一样娓娓道来，克制而深情，让我想起李娟的散文。当然，泥川艺院老师做的的第三个故事《小火车》也很用心很有深度，而且没在泥川见过那么帅的老师hhhh。
向法国绘本动画精神靠拢。更喜后三个，《哼将军和哈将军》最有创意，《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》和《翼娃子的星期天》关照了农村和城市外来人口的底层亲情群像。
哈哈哈哈哈哈剧情真是
