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.
3星，东木大爷的小成本片， 老爷子演了一辈子戏。经典无数，烂片也一堆，早已放下了名利释然一切，片子简单欢愉，体现了 老爷子的自得其乐。有这份老年人的童真乐趣，想不长寿也难啊。
说实在的fester叔叔变成章鱼怪有丢丢恶心
低龄合家欢 We are family式大结局
Make macho a Saturday night BBQ... 😂东木老爷子要保重身体呀！
走路都颤颤巍巍，还能征服寡妇驯服野马…在那个警局都没有的墨西哥小镇，老牛仔既能把牛仔精神传承给下一代（下一代是个墨西哥新移民了），又彻底告别打打杀杀，凭治愈动物的一技之长造福乡邻，找到人生归宿，感觉有点「礼失而求诸野」的意思，也是东木君与他的牛仔电影生涯做的平静道别了吧
熬夜看完了，以后的万圣节可能会拌Wednesday Addams🦇
一直期待着劲爆场面，但通篇最暴力的竟然是一只鸡，哈哈。老头岁数大，不易，不知道怀抱大妞的时候，还有感觉吗。
故事嘛，再看一遍银护2了就当
Madison , would you do me the honor of being my wife?
我觉得叔叔好暖心啊，最后变成章鱼了还救自己的家人
没想到老爷子在耄耋之年拍了一部墨西哥家庭温情片，一如当年老西部片里退隐江湖的游侠悍匪一样，走完这辈子最后一次长途旅行，终于找到自己的归宿所在。简单的对白，轻微的冲突，都在刻意淡化矛盾；取而代之的是云淡风轻与波澜不惊。电影里的macho，银幕外永远的纯爷们。
喜欢亚当斯全家，愿在黑暗里真实，不在光明中虚伪，
故事娓娓道来但并不足够吸引人，如果不是东木，我觉得根本不会有人投资。但是人到了这个岁数，拍的电影一定是十分私人化的表达—不会再去竞争什么奖项了，也没有事业的巅峰可以冲击了，连荷尔蒙都衰退殆尽了，唯一剩下的只有回忆、忏悔以及对生命的爱。91岁的东木已经气息不稳，弯腰驼背，步履蹒跚，但是他没有停止拍摄。他也从来不是那种完美主义艺术家，和雷德利斯科特一样，这种优秀导演高产必有平庸之作，但是他们从来没有离开他们的影迷啊！
How to cure old? 在不断地上路逃离的时候找到良方。老Eastwood自己的沉稳作为电影的变奏，所有过往的追逐紧张都令人哑然失笑，于是这部电影成为他对于自己的一次破解。
喜欢里面很多个人物设定。其实有没有发觉？虽然情节很低幼，总有一个很硬的内核做剧情支撑。一个在叛逆期的敏感女孩，一次重拾家庭关系的旅行，亲情和爱。
叙事结构性有点散，Wednesday叛逆期用环球旅行串起来有点没头没脑的。周三姐最后抱爸爸那一下把我吓得起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。
其实感觉比第一部好些，不过第一部啥样早忘了。
我还是蛮喜欢这亚当斯一家，黑色幽默还是蛮多的，只是剧情稍微弱了一点，还是可以看看的。
低龄合家欢 We are family式大结局
剧情老套了点，人物刻画呆板，偶尔配乐还行，看错了应该先看19年的，高潮部分有点大弱智
