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.
太可怕了，如果我出生在那些年，怕也是会被关进疯人院。其实这个题材很好也很有价值，反思体制性的迫害，当男权与父权无法理解也不尊重女性的多样性时，就连医学也成了残害的手段，但是如果选择一个更现实性的切入点，而不是通灵，也许可以拍得更好，
“现实中的人怎么可能看待灵魂呢？”
片头那镜头一直跟着女主背影走，突然就切换到她父亲，又突然切换到她正脸，这镜头手法……可能这就是能让某些文艺装逼豆瓣猪打高分的原因吧……
大家吐槽迪士尼童话的陈旧套路，当公主遇到问题的时候，就没有一首歌解决不了的，如果解决不了，那就再来一首。看这部电影的时候，脑子里全是这个嘲讽，女主角遇到几个难题，就唱几首歌吧，叙事的逻辑不重要，唱歌就行。这部电影的迪士尼童话世界里，美好生活要靠爱和魔法，现在我们的世界里，一切也是靠新闻的魔法，可能这就是我们喜欢魔法的原因吧。
不知道为什么这么抑郁的片子看然居然觉得豁然开朗
结尾太老套，整体基调还不错。《圣母》更胜一筹
出发点是好的，操作比较常规。而且出现了我反感的“一言不合开金手指”类情节。
看那些巨大的蜡橡树，这该是以咖啡区金迪奥省徒步圣地珂珂拉山谷为背景原型，创造出来的魔法世界吧。场景很迷人、魔法很脑洞，林聚聚的拉丁风配曲创作，甚至比他同样曲风的《身在高地》还好听，故事却打一开始就能看到结尾，平庸了。
一个灵魂发问：“只有有用才值得被爱吗？”
很慢的节奏，不刺激的情节，竟然没尿点地看下来了。很多画面拍的太美了
很《百年孤独》了，一家几代人的爱恨情仇不管命运怎么变迁依然不离不弃相聚在一个屋檐下，部分歌舞场景还是很有想象力的，最好听的是西语那首。但价值观有点不合时宜了，如果家庭是原罪，又何必不离不弃？“让家人骄傲”的slogan也未免太老旧太不符合迪斯尼如今LGBT老巢的称号。
“那种写有关于灵魂的书也是为了讨人好奇而已”
还行吧。剧情一般般。只是感叹那个年代精神病院的诊治手段太恶劣了太残忍了。
没看过飞越疯人院，大抵是同样的情怀吧。可悲的是男权社会在此刻仍然存在，男人们的妄自尊大，真让人感到恶心。
自编自导自演 梅拉尼可真有才！对女主偏爱有加 御用一向不负厚望啊 这才是我喜欢的怪力乱神类 主题加分 光影音又在线 强推力荐
比1/2的魔法差一些，但是迪士尼原创动画质量还是很稳定。有几首歌相当不错听。情节稍微失望，但是和家人一起看怪温馨的
还行，虽然能跟鬼魂交流不能让人信服，但是确实拍出了，男权下他们眼中的疯女人的感觉，和些许的一丝丝的微不足道的反抗，这点反抗可以带来熊熊烈火
诚意推荐。尽管故事结局不是我预想的，但总体还是很不错的。无论是故事内核还是外在架构，都很不错。尤其是画面拍的太美了，感觉像是在看19世纪的法国油画！而且配乐也相当给力啊！女性编剧和导演的原因吗？讲述故事的方法和视角很细腻，环环相扣，想一口气赶紧看完。是自我意识的觉醒，是对曾经所谓“科学权威”的质疑，是进步，是自由。好喜欢法语文学啊，真美！
我的梅拉尼女神自导自演的第一部影片，很棒！！一刚开始觉得节奏有点慢，后来就慢慢进入状态了，女主演技很好，看见鬼就是疯女子，看见神就是显灵，男权社会的双标尽数体现
女性友谊共同对抗压迫！疯人院里的情形就像福柯《疯癫与文明》写的一样。
