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.
中国式青春故事，作为中国人不能在电影院看到实在是太遗憾了
5.人物塑造非常喜欢，美美迷恋乐队，而妈妈永远把家庭放在第一位，gap非常符合现实
Today honor student, tomorrow UN Secretary General. 笑不活了
内心的小野兽是藏不住的～活出自我真的太棒了！
一描写华裔就是大红配大绿，眼镜+龅牙，阴森畸形的家族观念。从《寻梦环游记》到《魔法满屋》再到本片，从墨西哥到拉美到华裔，千篇一律是换了皮的家长过度管辖的母题，迪士尼在题材和深度上的不思进取已经令人发指。
一个关于叛逆期的简单故事能讲得这么有趣，还得是皮克斯啊！失控的红对撞秩序的绿，把虽然刻板但却又贴切的东方情感拿捏得这么到位，一定会让每一个“想要得到长辈认可”的孩子感同身受，一定会让每一个“狗十三”一样的孩子从另一个角度认识自己，选择一条和长辈不太一样的道路。最值得称道的是在技术上已经做到极致的皮克斯，这次用快节奏加颜艺的方式给了我们一个不太传统的动画风格，把每个人都拉进到那片星星眼的大海之中。（中间那段连环画风格短片也太赞了！）
3.中国符号，神话故事、熊猫、宗祠
懦弱的不会处理家庭关系却总能在最关键时刻捡漏展现父爱的爹，“因为我妈对我不好所以我也不会做妈”的脸谱妈，不必考虑75分的成绩升不上好学校的朋友大喊着“你叛逆了我真为你高兴”，甚至核心思想还要靠话疗来讲，这扁平到比A4纸还要薄的故事竟然也配算东亚家庭的切片？东亚家庭枯死的最后一片叶子也比这内容丰富而深沉的多。
属于是东西方文化糟粕大融合了（…… 但依然，fxxk disney for 不让此片上院线
完全没觉得好看......她妈妈，说真的，挺令人窒息的。认为女儿第一次来大姨妈了就跑学校当着所有人的面大喊你忘了带姨妈巾了。看到这里就觉得窒息得不行......还有跑去便利店拿着女儿的画去找那个男生，天啊，心理脆弱一点的小孩该自戕了吧？
东亚文化语境的故事讲述了最普世的情感共情，但有关青春与成长的内核只是中国版的《勇敢传说》和加长版的《包宝宝》。在当今的好莱坞，女性少数族裔的主创团队在出发点就领先了一个身位，何况小熊猫比熊要可爱的多了。
【B】看前半段yygq短评都想好了：“段子集是吧？不知道跟中央电视台虎年春节联欢晚会比哪个更好看。”女朋友是半个上海人，她说喜欢的不行。后半段却越看越惊觉一种奇妙的东西在持续升腾，眼泪就下来了。新人导演错过了很多却抓住了更多。多么神奇的作品啊。
一百年以后这部电影也会有人看，“看，他们那时是这么生活的”，不用像《扬名立万》换一个时代，或《误杀》换一个国度，《爱情神话》就发生在此刻，此地，甚至是周围，永康路附近去过好多次，很奇妙的是观影的体验和漫无目的在街上闲逛的感觉几乎重叠。关于老乌和那夜的爱情神话，性别如果对调一下，就还蛮俗气的。所以《爱情神话》一点也不俗，灵得很。
太好玩了！太浪漫了！太美好了！一个女人，没有造过反是不完整的！女人造反起来，可真美好！神话就是泡进酒桶的俗常，俗常是碎在窗边的神话。你看着我，我看着你，就是神话。马伊琍那么小的房间里，摆着一排书，里面有一套《第二性》。小白在听了白辛苦的一番说教之后，在朋友圈发了《爱说教的男人》封面。所有人的关系都暧昧又清晰，与爱情无关，又与爱息息相关，这就是女性。
感觉父亲也很压抑，在家主要是个厨子，整个故事完全靠边站，喜欢4 town也只能在地下室小声哼唱
其实我觉得名字叫大红熊猫会更受人欢迎，从外国人的视角来看华裔家庭这种压抑的氛围，真的是又好笑又辛酸
4.中西文化碰撞，pop和宗法观念
感觉是为了表达主题而表达，既不好笑，也不感人
导演石之予出生在重庆，2岁移民加拿大，硬要表现不熟悉的粤语家庭背景，还把道士翻译成英文的萨满，对中华文化的理解也就只有左宗棠鸡的水平了，真是枉为华裔。
红熊猫不是功夫熊猫，不是绿巨人，也不是狼人，或者全都是。它不是某种超级英雄式的能力，不会引起当局的密切注意，它更像是一个可爱的毛绒外套，鲜会展现出真正的攻击性。女孩亦无拯救世界的愿望或契机，只想追求初中生的“庸俗”，她的烦恼是不能做自己，所谓的反派在家庭内部。在竹林幻境中守候的是观音，是《无极》的满神，是《尚气》的文武，是某种东方主义的代言人。而母女对决无疑是东亚性的对决，弑母是反抗压抑的终极表现，但是树立起一堆夸张的刻板印象再去打破它，终究让超奥特七姐妹的和解不见得那么有力。
