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.
PG评级的儿童向恐怖片这视觉尺度也算不错了，概念也算清晰，最大亮点是Krysten Ritter的表演，就是故事上没有提供任何真正的惊喜。
平庸的儿童向“恐怖片”，看不到一半就看不下去了，一眼望到底的剧情实在无聊，看了下剧透帖，果不其然的结局～
就是看个风景，听听久违的法语。这个取景地应该是萨瓦王国附近。记得17年前，2005的秋天，和师傅Antoine就走过那段飙车的山间长廊，从日内瓦到Grenoble，风景美得一塌糊涂，也就沈阳到丹东的高速可以媲美吧。
这个评分这么低？不可思议，被朋友安利到，刚看完，哭的稀里哗啦，民间故事结合鬼怪力神剖析人性，看到最后才反转的好片子
儿童恐怖片吧，感觉观众都应该是儿童，感觉音效比较可怕，情节上也没啥可以挑剔的，就是找小伙伴一起逃出生机的感觉，对于成年人来说就很无聊。
不好看，看到一半就觉得浪费时间但强迫症不看完不舒服，看完更觉得浪费时间的那种不好看。可能适合儿童吧。很久没有哪个电影镜头能让我反胃了，这是一部，锅炉里那会。
不俗的睡前故事，用相对复杂的舞美和故事讲了一个传统的童话内核。
这种儿童向的恐怖片真的为难我了，奇幻冒险都有，但就是不感兴趣，故事挺完整的，女巫第一幕出现的镜头有点像杨幂哈哈。
两个女主的颜，还有那个美丽动人的传说值两星
難得看到一部法國片娛樂性這麼足，又搞笑又諷刺。
有内味 色调完全不出戏，面具不错，但是演员不行，只有女主比较专注，细节应该再精致一点，镜头画面都可以的。剧情方面，出乎意料的丰富，是真的很好奇这种病。。在电影里求科普好像有点傻…
gossip ballet 很多模仿其他電影的痕跡 女主像Anne Hathaway 感情部分特別尷尬
故事太儿童向了，不适合寻求刺激的我( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)不过蓝毛女士竟然有点萌萌的
2022.5.10 隔离第2天 因为男主是奥马·希，又是破案的类型，所以很感兴趣。但是剧情比较简单，两人的对戏也没有多搞笑，镜头让人头晕目眩，总体就是一般的搞笑破案电影。还是亚森罗宾的剧情节奏爽，会有第三季吗？
无毛猫很可爱~
还不错啊，不过他不是去找他非亲生弟弟吗，最后还是没找到
两女主都超美，尤其是巫婆大使她闺女。《好莱坞俗套大吐槽》埃菲尔铁塔梗再应验
有内味 色调完全不出戏，面具不错，但是演员不行，只有女主比较专注，细节应该再精致一点，镜头画面都可以的。剧情方面，出乎意料的丰富，是真的很好奇这种病。。在电影里求科普好像有点傻…
一个渴望现实的成功，一个渴望精神的超脱。就像人类的双生面。立意深远，永远不要忘记追逐飞翔，坠落之后才是飞翔的开始。
网大很不错了！弟弟也太惨了！为啥姐姐没变身？
