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.
青春叛逆的故事。小熊猫是蛮萌，可是少女们的春心实在是让人尬到脚趾扣出地板洞
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。
当然，前面评价的是演员，后面我想说——我很高兴在我年轻的时候认识这部电影。Thanks，IT really teaches me a lot....
通过和男妓几次金钱交易，来探讨性，情感，甚至亲情，从而解放自己，与过去和解？老外的脑洞真不错，借着这样一段畸形的关系来讲述这样的问题是不是有点太不合适了。别的不说，性工作合法化这话一出来，彻底没兴趣看了，3倍速拉完，完全无感，还有点恶心
《都柏林动物》的造作表达之后，凭借这部更为真诚、具有观点也玩弄言语花俏的电影回归，有很令人印象深刻的进步。“嫖客”与性工作者畅聊人生，试着同时享受欢愉与诊疗，好一出“我不卖身，我卖真诚；我不买肉，我买心声”；尽管也是另种形式的主室内戏，却依然跟随对话受到情绪感染。试着给一个朋友描述整个电影，对方“啊，这听起来就很像Emma Thompson演的电影”；她在片中做出了个很大胆的示范，也完成了与导演一样的、酷酷的大银幕宣言。
女主真的很像一位越南裔油管博主，结尾妈妈说“你走得越远，我就越骄傲”恐怕是永远不能relate
冲着艾玛汤普森来的 却意外get到了这个男主的魅力 他真的好帅！而且在两人的交谈中一直处于一种镇定自若掌控大局的冷静氛围中 反倒是艾玛汤普森演出一份少女的羞涩。这电影通过对话讲了很多观点分支 像性解放 父母教育 人与人人之间的相处等 我最喜欢里奥的职业观 他说 他的客人大多数都喜欢幻想 但他倾向于现实 因为这份工作就是个现实 让现实与幻想好好结合 就是美丽。我不赞成性服务这个工作的诞生 但我真的希望大家都可以好好地热爱并且享受自己的工作。还有一个很特别的词组Emprically sexy 中文翻译成“婵媛” 挺美的。
小熊猫的毛发做得太好了，购买量产玩具一定会有心理落差。
粉粉的 3D里融合二次元画风 有很多很精彩的段落 开始反思是不是可以为了华点段落接受不适的小部分，毕竟不适的部分也是一种观点表达
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？
剧本太好了！！！！！！数度泪目。女性的困境，孤独的困境，出身的困境，年龄的困境，都被编织成一条线。难为艾玛·汤普森在镜头前做出的巨大奉献，非常勇敢，我们都值得在赤裸面对自己时感到美丽与自信！！！
大失所望。➊假；➋狭隘；➌酸腐；➍势利。
家庭元素满满
还是很皮克斯的，用抽象概念（turning red panda）表现情感矛盾。我觉得男性无法get这个片很正常，除了没有生理期这种天然不同外，女性跟妈妈之间一生的情感羁绊，和男生与妈妈之间的联结方式完全不同。这其中的微妙，懂的人自会懂。以及青春变形记，这个中文翻译非常好。
我认为电影把许多东西给具体化出来，很多比如说女性的羞耻心，中国传统道德约束，女性的压迫，家庭束缚，甚至是女性月经等等，不论是不是意有所指，但确实有意或无意地把这些问题展开来进行探讨。至少，放到台面上，理性的客观的开始去正视。小熊猫非常可爱，走的是讨人喜爱的画风，剧情转折也衔接得非常棒非常自然，不会觉得尴尬或者抽离。ps：我喜欢的原因之一，是电影的主题跟我的想法很接近，我以前说：我心底里藏着一个恶魔，它总在唆使我……接纳自己是一个普通人，接纳自己有黑暗面，与自己内心深处的魔鬼和平共处。
讲东亚母女关系确实讲得又好笑又切到了痛处。
虽然确实因为切身体验对东亚家庭权力关系/母女关系这个小话题而哭泣了，但不可否认main topic依然是青春期自我成长。东方仪式bless/curse，赋予/剥夺，宗祠传统/新的道路，只像是给爆米花美国人做文化安利，真正的东亚人太难因此共情了（所以墨西哥人看coco也是这样吗
要叛变皮克斯了，或者已经没有童心，讲的都能明白，但就没太大情感触动，可能跟一直都是放养模式、依赖性人格也有关。
这也太好了，太可爱了没人会不喜欢红熊猫。非常中式的命题，太适合和家人一起看……（有没有用就另说了）（宇宙的终极：I’m proud of you）
4.5。1.疫情之下最正常的电影，青春期的叛逆与成长的主题被包裹在魔法、变身的外壳里，这是典型的皮克斯动画作品。2.未成年之前生活在父母的规训之下，成年工作之后生活在社会与法人组织的规训之下，这是大陆一代又一代人的真实写照。3.为人父母，接受孩子的不完美，为人子女，追求自由，努力做最一个真自己。
