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.
有的孩子是慢慢长大，有的是突然长大的。印象深的是：站在一群孩子的球场上，独自哭泣！ 那个少年的夏天里有马拉多纳，电影，性启蒙…被父母“抛弃的”少年，在夏天长大，路渐渐展开…那不勒斯，拍的好美！
前一个半小时的调度和节奏固然精彩，但我喜欢后四十分钟。
就好比《罗马》之于阿方索·卡隆，《贝尔法斯特》之于肯尼思·布拉纳一样，这是属于保罗·索伦蒂诺的乡愁，还挺喜欢这种私人化的电影的，因为能跟着导演走一遭他过去的经历，其实挺有意思的。电影充斥着一股忧伤的浪漫，有点call me by your name的感觉，唯一的遗憾是配乐始终不及《绝美之城》动听。
看这部电影，就像赴一场不知道目的地的旅行，只需完全放松，跟随导演的带领，去到那不勒斯，去到一段青春往事里，目睹一次决定性的成长。
导演的私人少年回忆录，缓缓讲述悲欢离合和那不勒斯的风光。男主真好看，意大利的美少年都神似。近几年大导演们的私人回忆录似乎成了一股新的潮流，从社会议题的“外观”到自我省视的“内观”，颇有种顾影自怜的意味在。
3.5 拍得不错，也很动情。但是青春期少男就那点小心思实在没意思…
缺乏主题的聒噪，前后两部分割裂。一眼意大利片子，甚至比不上莫莱蒂。
电影本质是低配费里尼拼盘电影。但是为了Filippo，➕⭐，他太耀眼了！
开头特别好，镜头的运动出其不意，跟故事的推进结合的很完美。一家人的那场饭尤其好，镜头的组合很文学，简单有效勾勒出人物的核心。这些是硬功夫。但是后半部分，群像退散；人物视点集中于一个人的时候，弱点就显露出来。以事情开始推进人物情绪，刻意慢慢堆积，显出俗气来。
并不喜欢导演最热门的年轻的教皇，但很喜欢导演这部“尴尬”的青春回忆电影。太私人、太细腻了。
属于索伦蒂诺的私人影片，回忆，是这两个小时的全部意义。“我想过一种想象的生活”，这也是我看电影的原因。
保罗•索伦蒂诺第一部。带着灵魂活着，带着故事离开，混凝着所有复杂深刻的情绪，看这个角度的那不勒斯如此美幻。
解答了我许多疑问:索伦蒂诺的审美，思辨，幽默，哀伤从何而来？他的青年，家人，故乡又是何种模样？比《罗马》多了家庭的情感，比《痛苦与荣耀》多了更青涩的挣扎。是近年最喜欢的带有自传性质的作品了。
我应该早点意识到的，从发现上帝之手指的是一位我从未听说过的足球明星时，就该知道，这部电影绝对是我无法共情的。
神神叨叨，吵吵闹闹，疯疯癫癫。
从楼上女爵那里得到往前看的启示后 整个结尾部分走向无所事事的抒情。但我喜欢导演的家人们，喜歡鏡頭與人物的距離，情緒大多靠行動和肢體語言來表達，而不是看表情，更強調人在環境中的狀態。只是他如果能换种方式回顾往事或许不至于这么用力直接。但我又怎能左右别人私影像的回忆方式呢？
拖沓，凌乱，割裂，食难下咽，漫长难熬的两个多小时。。。
3.5 镜头一如既往的迷人 象征人物过于清晰 有点失望
海邊藍色的那不勒斯，遼闊而迷離，伴隨著馬拉多納的到來，略微岣嶁的青澀少年，和一大家老小們歡快而悠閒的生活著，各種雞毛蒜皮的小事，性感的小姨，出軌的父親，活潑的母親，惡作劇的歡樂，似乎就這樣一直過著，等待馬拉多納將會帶來的冠軍，然而，一場變故奪去了少年的父母，也是因為他要看馬拉多納現場而躲過劫難，瞬間的長大，終於讓少年明白了自己的方向，上帝之手，指引他走向未來導演的夢想…
这部电影太私人化了，很难言说…
