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.
巧妙的意式喜剧，恰如其分的真实，温暖中的感动……尤其作为LGBTQ的一员，很有很有共鸣！（哎，也许有生之年没法见到在国内能有如此的“抓马”和崛起）🏳️🌈🤟🏻🏳️🌈
看的时候觉得很搞笑，看完却觉得很难过，保罗明明什么也没有做错，却要在中年时经历丈夫出轨后，还要强装接受这狗屁的Happy Ending，影片里强调的出轨非一方过错更是让我感到生理不适，出轨的一方永远都是错的，望周知。
充满戏剧性和反讽的绝妙同性家庭喜剧，伪纪录片的形式、并行的多线叙事和蒙太奇剪辑都带给人新奇而愉快的观影体验。虽然目前在墙内还没有讨论的土壤，但同婚合法化之后如何以爱重新组织家庭(好多有趣的点——同性家庭长大的小孩常会遭遇的误解和认同问题、反复无常的司法制度对家庭的影响、遭遇情感危机的同性家庭以及同性家庭同样在遵守整个一夫一妻的异性恋传统家庭的道德规约），实在是一个非常有意思的问题。最后所有的荣耀都归“天父”了，真是偷懒的无解之解啊。看到“都是为你好”露出苦笑，看到“法拉达”一阵爆笑。
某些地方在如今国内的语境属于政治不正确吧，但是看到最后感觉莫名治愈。。。
很难不和国内做对比，就还是希望有个更自由的浪漫的多元的社会，这样大概会更幸福吧。虽然难免有纠葛重重，至少不会痛苦于最初的被认同这一点吧。

来啊互相伤害啊，倒掉你的珍藏红酒。其实很温暖
但是孩子却让这种关系出现了另一种可能
其实你要说和异性恋那种争夺孩子抚养权的离婚夫妇有什么区别好像也没有，但这毕竟是男同性恋，作为一种展示这样的成品算得上不错了
好狗血的故事，好意大利的故事，好奇特的价值观；但是毫无疑问，是我看过最平等的同性电影
被喜劇取向的幼稚行徑的爸爸搞得有點煩, 最可愛的一場戲是三小孩大戰媽媽哈哈哈, 還有病房裡的老阿北也很妙, 編導還是有不錯的幽默感, 題材很值得思考, 性取向就只是性取向// 這明明是我想看的電影為何netflix都不跟我說他有還要我自己挖出來笨蛋netflix不要再給我推薦爛東西啦
光影真的很绝，演员演的也很到位，但有对比就有差距。《麦克白》改编的只看过黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》，相比之下黑泽明的故事更具完整性和故事性，而这个《麦克白的悲剧》戏剧化的延续，让人物内心活动表现得更突出一些，但故事性就不如《蜘蛛巢城》，我会更偏向于故事讲的好的，因为黑泽明方方面面都不差。
"结束后还算真爱么？"
确实有点勇气说“形式大于内容”了，但在此看来大科恩走了一个类似反向NWR式的路。但是拜托，我宁愿去想有人可以去拍一部基于麦克白的《黑豹》；有《蜘蛛巢城》的珠玉文本在前了，还能怎么编呢？所以为什么小科恩会离开了呢？
3.5.后同志时代从一种基于认同政/治的爱情神话转向了日常叙事，家庭的核心单位依然是爱，爱好大.👌
搞笑又温情的意大利家庭小抓马伦理片，但是这个收尾是真好。意大利语越听越喜欢。本质上都是家庭伦理，但这种形式的这辈子有机会在咱这看到吗？
3.5星。多出来的0.5是本片表达的社会意义。大多数婚姻的维系需要一个孩子，大多数同性家庭不会有孩子。经由抚育孩子所凝结的家庭纽带不适用于大多数同性家庭。这也意味着，同性伴侣之间需要建立一种强有力的联接（比如共同的理想志趣或者强有力的互相理解等）。或者如福柯所说，突破异性恋思维的以友情为纽带的新型人际关系。
德尔邦内尔再发展下去可能要超越罗杰迪金斯了，影片相当讨巧，几近舞台剧式的调度和复古的影像，像是单飞后一次相对保险的探索，整体来说很舒服
一部温情搞笑略带drama的电影，从一个同性家庭出生的男孩子的角度讲发生在他的家人以及经历青春期的自己身上的故事，医院那段好搞笑，“我的爸爸跑美国去了，而他却有2个爸爸”笑死，最后结尾还有些好哭，是近期看过意外还不错的电影
然后作为配角，男主的朋友都得是二傻子，看上的女神，明知男主是两个爸爸的家庭，偏不告诉自己妈妈，让妈妈出丑，得意得不行，在饭桌上和其他人大聊特聊自己妈妈被打脸！！！
