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.
韩老师的成长也刻画的很好，谁都不是一开始就那么伟大的，这样很真实很有血有肉，也更深刻。
1969年，发光的年代，战争的年代，太空梦的年代，现如今的人们会怀念2020年以后的日子吗？当然不会。
描写了少年视角的60年代美国的社会生活，前半段有点无聊，后半段有点蒙太奇，所以说真正的月球第一人深藏功与名，这算讽刺吗？
是一部很“日常”的电影，借着太空竞赛的背景，絮絮叨叨了很多童年每日的细节，整体氛围都是温馨的，温柔的，像周六温暖午后的那种放松惬意。真人动画的画风很适合这个调调。当然都是非常美国的童年故事，可能共鸣有限，但大体的套路总是相似。
这部电影看了之后很感动，男主作为支教老师把自己的一生都奉献给了支教，在藏区和藏区人民一起生活，藏区的孩子们也很淳朴可爱，剧中有多处催泪的地方，拍的很真实，值得大家去看
美国版《我与我的xx》，越战泥淖，登月争霸……人类从历史里面学到的唯一东西，就是什么都没有学到。
电影情节没什么复杂的很容易理解，经历过中间的一些事件男主的成长还挺有看头的
画风蛮可爱的 穿插的讽刺不错 但是报流水账式剧情像在给我科普60年代美国孩子的童年生活 对于没有这种经历的人来说没有情怀可言了
反正又是林克莱特《各有少年时》《少年时代》追忆青春那老一套，但是拍成动画可比真人电影有趣可爱多了……
佩服支教老师，那样的环境没有坚定的信念是支撑不了的，更何况奉献一生。
美国版《我与我的xx》，越战泥淖，登月争霸……人类从历史里面学到的唯一东西，就是什么都没有学到。
六十年代末七十年代初 太空背景下的美国风情画
小朋友的记忆亦幻亦真让人有些迷糊，但他们那一代美国人的生活经历真是异常丰富精彩。
【3星半】有点失望，就是一部对上个世纪六七十年代美国社会风貌的滤镜回忆，以一个孩童的眼光，来看待周遭太空竞备大环境下的国情民生，融杂了很多带有（美国人）记忆点的印象元素，但要不是那个国家那个年代亲身经历过来的，很难有更深一层的感悟和感慨。
林克莱特总能抓住生活中最有趣的地方，或许有时候是符号化的或带有刻板印象，但正是这些东西标记出了记忆的轮廓。能感受到林克莱特对于回忆的真诚，在这动画化的休斯敦，有时候居然能勾起自己已忘却的童年回忆。这种普世童年质感，上一次体会到还是奥尔米的《木屐树》。
喜欢女主这样的自然美，而且藏区服饰也很美，好想去看看！
Back in the time when American people live the American Dream.
SXSW 2022. It’s alright, but I can’t relate. 但是见到导演就很开心
孩子们太淳朴了，但是感觉有点失真都太干净了，如果是真实的话，孩子们可能会更埋汰点儿
画风并不吸引人，反而是里面那些六七十年代美国的片段和记忆，尤为珍贵，好像一切都距离未来很近。其实中国也有过这种时期，那是八十年代。
