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.
？？？所以是看完tv+ova、追着看完初破Q、去过EVA专题展、现在还带着初号机手环的我，不配看你这部终？你累了不代表观众们都累了啊。破永远是至高点了，再刷3遍我都不会腻。EVA永远是EVA，不会结束的。
2013-05-20 标记了想看。2021-08-12 看了。足足等了8年啊。
可能这个结尾对很多人来说，更“补完”了。但也不那么神了。我还是更喜欢原作全人类死亡真嗣最后试图掐死明日香的结局。
依然是完全不明的战斗，为什么打，为什么要这样打，为什么能打赢，都不知道答案。感动的是幸存者的日常，如同跟绫波一同成长和活了一遍。真嗣太惨了，要一遍一遍看到重要的人在自己面前消失。弑父是永恒的主题。对里面突破次元壁的部分又爱又恨，还恨的是用的3D部分，巨大的3D绫波丽模型出发了恐怖谷效应，看得我狂掉san值。最后，为系列的谢幕而感动，因为也是对自己的阶段性告别，希望再也不要出别的分支了，大概再也不想为它牵肠挂肚了。
宏观叙事真的成为过去了 真正的浪漫主义已经从理想变成具体的爱了
我们不再被憎恨冲昏头脑，不再害怕伪装、背叛、失望，慢慢学会和他人建立羁绊，学会承受痛苦与心碎，学会谅解他人和自己，学会重新面对这个世界。
人类补完其实是庵野秀明的自我补完吧。。

see ya eva！！！
3.31 新宿IMAX
我很喜欢这个电影标题，感觉特别优雅，用乐谱的符号来双关。首先可以当做「:」是冒号，而「│▌」只是用终止符来表示这是系列的最后一作了。其次可以当做「:│▌」是一个整体，这是重复乐章的符号。感觉在双重解读中留了一手。
看完心情复杂，我们终究是要长大。就如山上跋涉吧，走多远，不重要。
五年多的等待，终于看到了《新·福音战士剧场版：终》。开场的战斗戏把我嗨得遗憾自己没能在IMAX影厅观影；其后的生活戏又让我可惜自己看片前没有抽时间重温下系列动画；后续的内容则让我找到了些许当初观看《Air/真心为你》“目瞪口呆、赞叹不已”的观感 …… 期待未来能有机会在影院重温《福音战士剧场版》系列吧！
除了13号和初号机剩下所有机型的新造型真的有点丑，要素过多有点缝合怪，好几个3转2都有点精神污染。但是镜头感，构图，色彩真的是EVA美学。好几个音乐切入瞬间直起鸡皮疙瘩。最后的大对战的表现手法太棒了，虽然对司令有洗白的嫌疑，但是还是感动了一把。一些坑也都填了。美里的故事很很感动了。和25年的故事说再见了。但是最后最后大结局真的是还是很意难平的！
没想到《终》会是在一一地进行和解，太温柔了，了不起！
结束迷茫或者叛逆的青春
感谢庵野秀明，操，我他妈被补完了!
all 真嗣’s issue be like my father my father my father（争什么西皮不西皮，ミサト不够好吗！
碇真嗣话疗时间结束。我不接受渚薰跟丽在一起！！！！
原来一直都纠结在我没有看懂这一部，但是看了几条短评以后我释然了，这部终结篇看懂与看不懂其实不重要了，重要的是终于要和这个ip说再见，淀真嗣长大了，我也告别了青年向中年迈进。
