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.
J’adore!!!!!!一开始就觉得很有年代感、跟自己的小时候非常relatable，尤其是たまごっち和班里女孩都在追的boy band，到最后meimei说一切都发生在2002年的时候才恍然大悟导演是在回顾自己的coming of age，一看导演果然只比我大上几岁，算是同一代人。熟悉的环境熟悉的设定让我的心情跟着主角一起坐过山车，想知道妈妈爸爸和婆婆背后的故事～～
三星半//虽然一切老套得就像Nancy三十几年的婚姻生活 也美妙得像虚假的童话故事 但确实有一些怪异的女性幻想 想象通过阴道走近灵魂 而大部分时刻男性也总试图告知她们性与爱的分离或者说是灵与肉的分离//当女性的精神和肉体都足够放松时 不再以挑剔以批判以审视的目光凝视自己时 性高潮不期而至 “男根虽好 我手更巧”这是苏菲科臣斯基的名言（。//sex saint在电影里好真实 不仅带来极致的生理愉悦 也带来相对的精神放松 年轻又美好的肉体 精准又安慰的话语和抚摸 在肉体按摩的同时外带心理疏导 啧啧啧 理想世界真好 合同的结束是wish you good luck
一些思考：
真好，是那种可以看到眼眶湿润的好片子。虽然出于纯粹的女性视角，对于男性角色的刻画有些落入另一层理想主义的“窠臼”，但却依旧塑造出了一对丰满充盈且极具共情的老少cp形象。两个套用虚假身份的陌生人，在某些难以启齿的时刻，却或多或少地展现出某种真实，这是人性的幽暗神秘以及有趣的地方。Exploring each other，我喜欢这个短语。同时，在有限的空间内，依旧展示出了精妙的调度和叙事上的层次感，并没有什么舞台感，且文本力度极强。我就试问谁看完不想跟Leo Grande纠缠大战三天三夜！片子四星推荐，艾玛婶值得十颗星！这个片子不杀进今年颁奖季我是真的会生气OK？
还是对东亚家庭老一套的看法，这种中西融合看起来怪怪滴~
自《伯德小姐》之后第二次感受到了什么叫强烈的共鸣。
六个红熊猫扯着一个大熊猫的尾巴，女孩们在B-Box，戴着翅膀的男Idol在飙高音，人群在尖叫——谁能告诉我为什么如此诡异的画面会让我泪流满面......
看完没别的感受，就是想急着包鸭。如果鸭都这样的话……
母女关系、追星女孩，导演是真的懂。喜欢这个爸爸角色，“与你身体里的野兽共处”
红熊猫好可爱啊！最后大家都变成红熊猫真的看哭了，好羡慕这样的友情和后来的家庭qwq
Orgasm这个事…罗宾逊太太如果一开始找个富有经验的同性第一次就通关了……里奥服务精神五星，资本主义世界的好在于钱能买到圣人，各种意义上的。
属于皮克斯的第二梯队，这次是东方人会共情西方人会猎奇，都会喜欢何乐不为呢，很接地气，也是这些年东方元素动画里最能够感同身受的一部，另外这个毛茸茸的真的萌，还有男团大场面真的很搞很到位，电子宠物很怀旧
7.5分。理想化的嫖客与理想化的性工作者。仿佛做了一个多小时的心理咨询。
一开始看不下去，影片过三分之一后逐渐被吸引，看到结尾一直流泪，真是极妙的隐喻
我的熊猫我做主！我的青春我做主！我的人生我做主！东方女性的母女和解之道。
用一种非常话剧的方式拍出了令人心醉神怡的前戏和事后。即便是在这种单纯的肉体欢娱的交易中，一直被束缚着的主角也渴望着更进一步的浪漫亲密关系，渴望得到性的突破与解放，当然她也做到了。
以性意识觉醒来开启女性觉醒之路，如此切入视角的作品早就不计其数，并不新奇，也不震憾。但本片刻意设定一名高端、文明、知性、疗愈的男_性工作者来引领女主的觉醒之路，颇令人纳闷。第一，为什么男_性工作者的形象可以如此尊严、智慧、圣洁、高大？我好像没有看过类似的女_性工作者角色。第二，把男主的性工作纯粹美化为服务（老年）女性，谁信？这是有多自我感动、多么矫情？
已经美化很多了，但是对成长在相似环境下的我们来说，某些场景还是过于真实了。
故事内核新瓶装旧酒，但不愧是皮克斯，不仅角色设定深入人心，而且细节满满。
导演拍得不只是海外华人家庭，而是整个儒文化影响下的东亚家庭群体，相比之下《花木兰》《尚气》之流都变得不值一提，皮克斯才做到了在心理和物理上都更贴近真实的中国，但这种电影可能不太会吸引美国人的兴趣，他们和很多中国人一样，希望看到的是那个描龙画凤的想象中的所谓传统的古老中国，然后再痛斥一声：这不是中国。
