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.
合格的儿童电影，整个故事都在堪堪的及格范围之内，没有啥亮点
亚裔在是不是都是有钱人？
童话原著我是没看过，但影片的剧情稍显幼稚，个人觉得似乎更适合初中以下孩子观看，毕竟这大红狗还是挺招孩子喜欢的，最起码我小儿子还是比较喜欢看的。当然，这片子也挺适合父母陪着孩子观看！我给3星6.7分！
修giugiu给满分了💯，终于是个可爱知性的小女孩作为主角，而不是劲儿劲儿的gossip girls了
剧情很俗套，但是看的过程比较开心，博观众一笑也算成功了吧
如果实在没有想看的又莫名出奇地想看电影来打发时间的话，这部电影是个不错选择，很轻松，不需要动脑子，就跟着剧情推进就好。整部电影除了透着合家欢的喜剧氛围，就只有一点能表达出来，即资本家是万恶的根源。
习惯了好莱坞、迪士尼，会觉得差那么一口气。（大红狗可以和玉子做朋友啊～）
除了电梯前面的消毒液，真是没有一点点2021的气息，excuse me？梦回20年前这也算烂片吧？🥺
特效不太行啊 剧情是给小孩看的 非要看确实是我的问题，青春变形记吊打 这是可以说的吗 都是大型红毛生物 难得一见的全片所有人演技都不在线
Holy sheep..工具狗克里弗😅
习惯了好莱坞、迪士尼，会觉得差那么一口气。（大红狗可以和玉子做朋友啊～）
更喜欢剧版一些，但影版也有自己的特色，葛优演得蛮好的。这个故事就是个戏剧冲突十分组的故事，剧情加分。
就是一部动物童话剧，不用想太多，开心下就行。
非常老套的故事结构，也就是12岁以下的孩童推荐观看，不过狗的确挺萌的，不黑亚裔能死吗？
节奏紧凑，演员表演在位，主创态度认真，最近国产电影市场完全找不到竞争对手了，不给四分过不去。但是抛开这些，剧情因为时长限制还是有一些bug无法解释，如果能是个短剧或许更好。
emmmmm 我实在是没办法带入感情在这个台词里，不知道自己看到海报的时候是在期待什么
还反对校园暴力?
结合最近发生的一些事情，倒也是不觉得送来我国是什么很好的主意。。。
溫馨輕鬆，舅舅的角色也滿可愛的。劇情不要太要求，就是真人版卡通，不過適合合家歡。
如果有一天你的宠物变大，大家会有什么反应，我觉得应该会真的抓去做实验，被抓去作研究，感觉可以搞一个大型宠物宇宙电影
