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.
太精彩了！南法真的美呆了。如果这是 最终集，大部分粉丝都会满意。希望中国上映时能取得好成绩。
接待过国王的唐顿庄园，也有楼顶阁楼漏雨无法修复的时候，年轻时的爱恋在即将离开世界之前勾起，电影拍摄走进了唐顿庄园，而在这个过程中从无声电影到了有声电影，幸福的人们开启幸福或者倍加珍惜幸福，一些新的职责落在孙女身上，那场仆人们参与的狂欢，到楼上的落寞。唐顿庄园，继续往下走，会有多少相似又不同的故事呢？
{★★★} 作为上一部电影（却完全不是电视剧）的爱慕者，我几乎在第一时间翻出了这部续集。结果是在承认第一部电影描摹贵族生活之余还勾勒时代云涌前屹立不倒之事物的前提下，我发现这一次只剩下絮絮叨叨的贵族生活。这未必全然是一件坏事，因为Julian Fellowes写作人物与台词的能力在这个时代如若凤毛麟角--但坚持你走下去的不该只有情怀，而我怀疑这个IP到底还能透支多久。
In times like this, we all need Downton Abbey.
刚打开想要评论，看到520上映，出现在冷门佳片榜，这或许就是一个时代逝去的声音吧。最后充满英国式的幽默，“安静点吧，我快听不见我死去的声音了。”我最爱的大表姐，我最爱的老夫人，时代变迁，新老交迭，唐顿也带着它的新过去向时间远处走去。
真的精致 服装台词 作为电影拍摄场地 老太太去世 凭空继承别墅
每个人每个片段都那么温暖人心 很多女性角色都各有特点 喜欢Cora的眼神 第一部让我深刻领会尊严教养英式优雅与尊重的影视 但观看时需要电视剧相关背景
强弩之末（症候过于明显，用无声转有声片暗示今天的covid变迁造成的失业）（只提了一句1919的西班牙大流感，但胜过千言万语）
I'm afraid I'm too old-fashioned to believe that what I want is the only thing that matters. 又是一部百感交集的sequel，唐家屯仍然yyds
我最爱的老夫人！！！！！！！作为唐顿新一代掌舵人的大小姐真的和老夫人很像。父母爱情好好磕，二小姐工作的样子真好看，巴罗也好可爱，这个大家庭里的每一个人都很生动。看剧版最后一季和上一部电影版的时候觉得剧情已经很疲软了，没想到这一部还是给了我很大的惊喜。
唐顿很奇妙，本身是怀旧，却又能看到时代的变迁
美好的续篇，节奏很快，化妆有点怪，我是希望可以一直拍下去啊，但是生活不是这样的
任外面世界风云变幻，唐顿永远世外桃源。
不记得追唐顿庄园的剧集追到哪一集就没有下文了，电影还是值得一看，熟悉的片头音乐一响起，就把人带入英国乡村辽阔的风景中，当然这一集的南法更胜一筹，看的过程中有些角色已经很迷糊的，但是不妨碍这个故事里的每个人都很可爱！
情节生硬，没什么说服力，完全是在为情怀买单。
舍不得老太太 无奈节奏赶的太快 求求再拍一季出来 也求求再也不要拍了 就只想看有钱人浪费时间 一点不想看阳光明媚 也不想看ta们time flies 要慢慢接受可以想见 但出乎意料的事情 就像有些苦乐不能分享 那不如自己尝 故事讲完了but Life goes on 站着看字幕走完 用心期望事不有三
旧时代的远去，新事物（电影）的入侵；阶级壁垒被打破，贵族平民化，奴仆们坐上了长条桌。
昨天才看了1，今天去影院看了恰好还在上映的2。又是个时代变迁中很妙的故事，似乎比1更好看。看来我可以去补个电视剧。电影少量与同志相关的片段被删了，回来上网补上。不禁让人感慨，近100年前有声电影刚出现，角色尚能同情成全，2022年放映还要剪掉。我又想起bohemian rhapsody 上映时也遭到同样待遇。
以一场婚礼开场，以一场葬礼落幕，确实非常英国。英国人真的是对婚礼葬礼可太有执念了，顺便感慨一句距离第一季开播竟然已经过去12年了。
电影院看的，没看过之前的
