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.
迪士尼动画历史最差之一，外婆的形象太脸谱化了，非黑即白，没有中间地带。
20220113百丽宫。媒体邀请专场。迪斯尼的爆米花，真是不太适合我这个年龄看了，唱歌跳舞太多了。
we don't talk about Bruno
如果最后是大家都接受了没有魔法的世界，我会给五星。
我知道想表达的是不要对家人太苛刻，但用一家魔法师来讲感染力不够。
AMC Sunnyvale 12 | 故事特别无聊 几个关键字嘶来吼去的听着尴尬 美术绝赞 音乐好听但歌词白眼 迪士尼就是有钱
有点：魔法屋还是挺可爱的。背景设定：平职新玩家，到一定岁会有转职仪式，随机抽取职能、新技能、解锁新地图。人物设计：拉美群体，政治正确。故事内核：还是you don't have to be perfect 那套，迪士尼老套路。结局：我看到他们家丧失的魔法，靠自己双手，相互扶持，重建家园的时候还有点惊喜和感动。结果, 最后一刻魔法又回来了？那前面说的: "家人本身就是Miracle， 你不仅仅是你的Miracle你更是你自己", 就是随口打嘴炮而已？心口不一
为什么米拉贝没得到魔法，而最后米拉贝的魔法又是什么？
迪士尼开发的哥伦比亚故事，美术精良，歌曲很好听，但故事一般。昨天下午于影院。
一年一度的迪士尼的套路之作，除了对于作为故事背景的哥伦比亚的风土人情的捕捉，其他都不够惊喜，甚至一开始就能完全猜到剧情的走向，而且元素过多，最后的处理方法真的就是避重就轻，魔法和家庭都让人齁得慌。
就是这部被很多人称为迪士尼最差的动画片，竟还获得了金球奖最佳动画电影，我对这个结果是大受震撼的。
试图复刻frozen/coco的样子，但是逊多了，不过相似的地方很显眼，当一个世界所有人都没有魔法的时候，elsa是另类，当所有人都有魔法时，mirabel是另类，和祖辈的隔阂实质上是两种价值观的对立，祖辈更像是初代移民家庭，一切为了family，family first，而M这显然更像是新生代的价值观，注重individualism，这世界上不是所有的事都可以被界定为黑与白，好与不好，家庭里的bruno和isa，还有那个weather mood的，都被designated，处理的如此简单，这两种价值观矛盾无法调和，但是迪士尼将这一切都简单化了，唱歌就解决了，坦白就理解了，这无法说服我，甚至让我觉得这么简单会很荒谬。well music is good
这个设定其实很真实，我蛮喜欢的，但这个讲故事的方式真的太太迪士尼了
烂到破防了 烂过最近十年最烂的Moana 看之前我猜会不会有Carlos Vives唱歌 结果果然还真有 简直西语版难忘今宵了
很难想象在如今这个时代还能看到上世纪迪士尼的精神输出产物，我仿佛看了一部魔法版的功夫瑜伽。
伊莎贝拉的人设太不新鲜了，简直是乐佩艾莎宝嘉康蒂三者合体。Bruno的隐藏地点莫非参考了《寄生虫》？
以前不理解为什么婆婆反对我去月子中心，为什么土豪朋友不去月子中心坐月子，现在自己去考察了几家踩点，才明白月子中心的确不如宣传的好。首先居住条件就不如家里，即使十几二十万一个月的月子中心，家居条件也是一看就是自己家好，再者吃的也不行，看了一眼他们的月子餐，心里惊呼这样的食材也能上桌，家里随便一顿的花费都比月子中心一整个星期的餐食贵吧，来月子中心到底是享受还是简朴来了。不过在月子中心有医护人员护理，专业性比月嫂强点，倒应该是个优势，还有长辈没法插手也是优点，家里虽然有月嫂和阿姨，长辈也插不上手，但插嘴点评的机会的确多得多
故事的设定不错，但是剧情太弱了，反转也不够突出，整体三星。
“被迫逃离、多人加入、遇上危险、阿公走了、蜡烛变了”，有辱卖糕粉。转折则是求抱抱，气氛都烘托到位了，这么大危机就配这么个小动静？重建家园快赶上《夏日友晴天》的和解名场面了。《疯狂动物城》之后，创作力断崖。
比较工整的家庭主题片，加入了一点点白人入侵的历史背景。
