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.
如同所有系列剧改编的通病，内容与角色的庞杂被强行塞入电影体量，导致叙事难以深入，老夫人情史的交代又缺乏情感支撑，元电影更使本就浮皮潦草的剧情雪上加霜。从流水账的效果看，编剧显然低估了同时驾驭《雷雨》与《雨中曲》的难度。
啊我亲爱的violet，你的逝去带走了唐顿旧时代的神秘动人，但你把大气善良留给了自己的儿子，把坚毅和刻薄留给了孙女，把浪漫留给了外孙女。你的笑容将永远为唐顿庄园增添色彩。
happy ending for everyone的流水账
要说人生赢家还得是人家老夫人 一辈子啥啥都见过了 真好 Mary这过得是丧偶的日子啊 马修古迪这次干脆连面儿都不露了 我强烈支持Mary休了他再找！缅怀大表哥那段儿真的是爱情最好的模样了
你好我好大家好，我们都有光明的未来，最后降甜度的操作恰如其分得让整部电影没有齁甜
对粉丝来说满满的感动
没看过剧和上一部电影版，从这个角度，两个小时还算愉悦
看了电影1前的10分钟剧集回顾和电影1、2的预告片大概可以迅速捡起剧情。法国的风景让人再次，好想出国旅行度假。婚礼开头葬礼结尾，有喜有悲而唐顿永远如此优雅。520上映真是应景，几乎所有角色都成双成对，没想到在电影里被狗粮喂饱。管家和男主演那段我猜一定有删减。英式口音太好听了。‖NewEra真的很切题。
In my potion of view, this is the best film of 2021. If you're nearly thirty and still in a hard time chasing your dream. This film could give you some inspiration.
每次“Downtown Abbey”出现在画面里并伴随着那段经典的旋律时我的心情总是激动的。不亚于霍格沃兹出现在画面里时。编剧导演总是把美好的情绪毫不吝啬地放到这部作品里。接近尾声时，我以为会像《生活多美好》（1946）那样大家欢聚一堂圆满地在“真善美”气氛里结束，直到一个人的离去... ...“别哭了，吵得我听不到自己死了。” so long,granny.
谁要说La La Land比这好，我只会觉得离谱。
粉丝的钱真好赚啊。 其实剧情已经不重要了。 各自怀念着属于自己的黄金时代。 然后就过去了美好的两个小时。
唐顿庄园可以说是演绎了一个家族整整的一个时代，而随着老夫人的离世，可以说是一个时代的谢幕。
新的时代对庄园带来一系列冲击。好莱坞，有声电影崛起，大众文化产业带来的全新工作机会，平权思想的萌芽。但最让人动容的是最后一幕，老妇人弥留之际，对儿子说“我想要的你已经全都给过我了，而且是持续不断的给予”，向儿媳致歉，向斗嘴的伴儿表达认可她正直的敬意，向孙女致以美好的祝愿，让贴身女仆不要哭哭啼啼，让周遭停止喧嚣。一个祖母在离世前与所有亲人郑重其事的告别，帮他们抚平悲伤。
虽然俗套，但这些熟悉的人物还是传承着感动，十年来的过往历历在目。granny这次决绝离去，就是不准备再有续集的意思，很好，因为新时代之后又要开始新的战争，而在那以后这个阶级不再存在，就让这个美满的句点由此告终吧。
这是一个关于新旧交替的故事，当唐顿庄园遇到了摩登时代，如何与其融洽并传承。marry接过了祖母管家的指挥棒，借助电影拍摄迅速适应了新时代的变化，父亲通过法国一行回忆祖母年少时的浪漫故事，最后祖母的逝去象征着旧时代的结束，而每个人都在新时代里找到了自己的意义。人物繁杂但刻画细腻，让我一个从未看过唐顿的人都能慢慢理清故事的剧情，油画复古画面极具美感，配乐点缀锦上添花，台词精炼而体现人物特色，金句带着英式独有的幽默频出，这是一部优秀且完美的电影。
【NO.47】一晃十二年过去了……挥别老太太
一场婚礼开头，一场葬礼结尾，中间贯穿着生老病死与爱恨情仇，导演一流的构图和调度，还有无声电影的死亡和有声电影的诞生，完美。
看完之后完全理解了LMM为啥不拍自己写的剧却要来拍这个传记作品了，这是知音的灵魂碰撞，也是艺术家前后辈间的传承。Respect.
有人决定奔赴异国开启新的生涯，
