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.
曾几何时看唐顿也成了怀旧了。居然那么久远了看到一个个熟悉的面孔好像也都没变。真好。
好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看好看
在短片体量的故事里把情感翻来覆去的探讨，阿里的表演还是这么稳，继续下去很难有一天不拿到男主。
🍎好喜欢搞这种科技奇观但是故事体量其实一集40分钟美剧就能说明白的温情科幻…男主还是不错但是这个故事明明还是BC当年短片Inseparable 比较好看
从4月初因为置身县城，唯一影院关停而丧失了影院消费习惯后，直至5月底才看到这个。绝对是困难时期以优秀故事让人情感满足的好片。A New Era始终好过past
TV版动画11-14集的合辑篇，主要内容就是三个主角第一次相遇
对没有看过唐顿庄园的人来说不太友好，毕竟人物那么多，如果不懂他们之间的关系会看得很懵。还好有朋友解说，所以整体看下来不错，有点像红楼梦的感觉。
关于克隆，网飞会拍政治惊悚片，苹果拍了讨论死亡的家庭伦理片。这部电影很苹果风，不差但谈不上多好看。相比于复制，我认为记忆更应该一次性转移，毕竟记忆才是造就我们独一无二的原因，这样所带来的伦理风险也相对较小。
肯定是这个系列的大结局了，画面精美，连头发丝都无可挑剔，每一句话都透露着英国人的幽默，结局感人催泪。“江山代有才人出，各领风骚数百年”
属于老唐顿的时代结束了。新时代属于谁，再看看吧。
鬼魅浮生的克隆版 科幻外衣的爱情片 主要剧情都是讲记忆 对话很适合学口语 最后一句金句: i love you, always have always will.
贵族配音，king speech
即便都已预料到，但最后一场戏还是哭死，一个时代的终结，和新生命的开始。抛开粉丝滤镜，这片最多值三星，真的拍得不像电影，Downton始终还是适合电视剧，我不能说它拍得粗糙，服化道还是一流的，但整个摄影剪辑就非常简单，流水线制作感。剧情上两条线之间也没关联，每一个角色都各司其职，现在Downton真的越来越好猜了，粉丝想要什么抓马，它就喂给你什么。
超级愉快的一次观影经历。明明没有什么煽情的情节和桥段，看到最后感动得泪流满面。
服化道极佳……剧情属寻常电视剧水平，不过整体逻辑算说得过去。观影于鲁迅曾光顾的永汉电影院。
阉割版《唐顿庄园2》。婚礼开头，葬礼结束，everyone gets a happy ending，包括老伯爵夫人，喜寿，走都走得那么得体。本来是一部爽片，结果把托马斯的戏删得七零八落，就让人很不爽了。赶上了这倒退年代，也无话可说。
工整的科幻想象。too much man.
善逸这个角色有点中二，而且一部短集作品，能衍生这么多剧场版，也是不错的
这是最完美的替代？科技发展到那一天，居然能成功，是走错路了吧？！应是医学技术的进步，疾病的可救治。就情感戏来讲，完美的邂逅，完美的家庭，和谐的生活，深切的情感，不现实的完美，就像这不现实的完美克隆一样。
每一集新的都能翻出花来，又是感动满满。希望可以继续拍下去拍到Mary变老。
