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.
有人继续做朋友
好喜欢片名的翻译，爱从来就不是一根线，爱真的就是千丝万缕，最后大家庭合照直接哭晕
关于同性家庭的生活日常，看得我特别感动……终于不再是苦大仇深的同性爱情故事了，意大利已经开始探讨同性婚姻和孩子所面临的具体生活问题了，这个进步着实让人羡慕！！！电影中提到的各种成熟的观点，不管是从青少年还是成年人口中说出的，我觉得都很有思辨的意义，真好，这就是我们向往期待的国外的自由和开放吧。
3.5 AMC 2-feature run 之一 the last time I’ll visit the cinema before things die down a bit (jk). will be the version I go back to when I’m more familiar with the work & older
我喜欢这部电影~我们国家什么时候能有如此景象呢，虽然这个希望很小很小，但每次看到这样的电影心里还是会有一点小小的期待……
最后片尾彩蛋很惊喜 我们的爱诞生了你 爱会消失你不会
结尾彩蛋很有意思
不知该如何评价，也许不管是同性还是异性，背叛总是常见的，反而和子女的感情更加牢固，但我们一定要顺从这样的社会，放纵自己的欲望吗？
爱是个屁，我在这一刻可以很爱你，也可以在下一刻把你踩入泥里。
我喜欢这部电影~我们国家什么时候能有如此景象呢，虽然这个希望很小很小，但每次看到这样的电影心里还是会有一点小小的期待……
同性与异性：一样的家庭，一样的麻烦，一样的爱。 （3星半）
被真诚、热闹与温暖包围的“《两个爸爸》”，青少年成长抓马与家庭喜剧并行；“家”会是什么，什么造就了“我”，这个故事或许交出了远比设置更丰富饱满的答案。
共同的经历和情分造就了人之间的联系。但我还是很不喜欢 出轨是两个人造成 的说法。
而是关于"不爱了"之后怎么办
看完蛮难过的，不管是在同性或异性的婚姻中，扮演操持孩子大事小情的一方总是稍显劣势，甚至本片还强调了出轨是后果而不是原因的这种理由，实在让人心寒……但可能生活就是这样，希望现实中的“保罗”们将来能够找到一个更加爱他理解他的伴侣
大家追求的都是幸福 就算没在一起有何如呢 大团圆结局 美好的结局是能拥抱幸福 感情中 应坦诚 出轨x👎👿👹👺 零容忍
1. 酷儿议题在西方社会已经彻底变成了亲情问题，不以血缘为基础的亲情也不止在同性婚姻家庭里，invisible thread，当代亲情的形态。2.没想到曾经先锋的酷儿话题这么快成为了情节剧的材料。为影片中的纪录片和结尾彩蛋加一星，某种程度上稍稍中和了情节剧似的煽情和争斗。如果真的以儿子视角做一部伪纪录片应该会更有趣。3. 几个喜剧场景有设计感，三个青少年在浴室的片段宣告了青年一代新的家庭观；医院场景生动解释了extended family的形态（也是曾经人类社会的常态）。
人生充满意外和惊喜（惊吓），无一例外。7.5
温情满满，笑点不少。抓马的剧情拍得不苦情，却充满了温暖和轻松。
但是可以有完美的离婚！
