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.

好可爱呀！有些情节真的太感同身受了，麻麻时时刻刻的关爱也确实让人会感到压抑
追星少女好闺蜜。色调我挺喜欢的，看着很舒服。做饭那一段也不错。思春期女孩的暗恋。互相扔球的游戏是不是太危险了？这个家是女人说了算，妈妈做决定，爸爸没有话语权。演唱会让女孩成为女人？母女和解。
影片的立意很不错啊，把女性成长与变成红熊猫进行并置，充满了想象力的比喻。画面呈现的效果也很不错，红熊猫看起来好可爱啊。结局设置的即符合当下美国主流社会舆论，又不至于让人非常尴尬。片中呈现的中国文化有点异化，不过也这正是华裔所接受的中国文化，合情合理，就像这边的中餐一样。
J’adore!!!!!!一开始就觉得很有年代感、跟自己的小时候非常relatable，尤其是たまごっち和班里女孩都在追的boy band，到最后meimei说一切都发生在2002年的时候才恍然大悟导演是在回顾自己的coming of age，一看导演果然只比我大上几岁，算是同一代人。熟悉的环境熟悉的设定让我的心情跟着主角一起坐过山车，想知道妈妈爸爸和婆婆背后的故事～～
三处哭点：“不管我再怎么努力，都不够完美。”“我是你妈，跟我说什么对不起。”“你走得越远，我越骄傲。”没想到不那么喜剧。戳人心，展示国人的内心，真不易。
福瑞控+ Growing pains
不会要跟学生道歉吧？真道歉了；不会要说出两人真正关系吧？真说了。不会最后的高潮是自己给的吧？真是。一边烦躁一边被各种刻意投机土到的观影体验。
这也太好了，太可爱了没人会不喜欢红熊猫。非常中式的命题，太适合和家人一起看……（有没有用就另说了）（宇宙的终极：I’m proud of you）
对标的应该是coco？皮克斯对民族文化和奇幻元素的融合，还是关于家庭和成长的主题，但这部无论画面还是剧情都太草率了点
太适合给中国家长看了。可惜“经审不发”的F。
喜欢前半段和结尾，中段匠气略重。以及大根的点评真的一针见血：我们女的就连叫鸭的时候都在幻想亲密关系。太可怕了。性就是性，身体上的亲密不必、很多时候也不能指向心灵的亲密。而且真正的亲密不是追求来的，而是当你拥有之后你后知后觉意识到的。以及，性的释放与舞蹈确实关系紧密。夏天到啦，不如跳舞！
脸谱又低幼，而且我真不明白美国人为啥觉得“性需求”就这么重要，13岁的孩子追星多是单纯喜欢美好的事物，根本不是因为性幻想好吧。
满屏的中国风好评，本片既有对教育的反思，又有对自己情绪的掌控，成长不是压抑自己的内心，而是坦然并认可自己的不足，接受自己的不完美。
我认为电影把许多东西给具体化出来，很多比如说女性的羞耻心，中国传统道德约束，女性的压迫，家庭束缚，甚至是女性月经等等，不论是不是意有所指，但确实有意或无意地把这些问题展开来进行探讨。至少，放到台面上，理性的客观的开始去正视。小熊猫非常可爱，走的是讨人喜爱的画风，剧情转折也衔接得非常棒非常自然，不会觉得尴尬或者抽离。ps：我喜欢的原因之一，是电影的主题跟我的想法很接近，我以前说：我心底里藏着一个恶魔，它总在唆使我……接纳自己是一个普通人，接纳自己有黑暗面，与自己内心深处的魔鬼和平共处。
作为华东地区长大的人，真的不太懂那个ritual，一下子有些割离感

Turning Red 短评
很细腻地刻画出了华人世界里女性在成长时的隐痛，以及扭曲的母子关系。换成其他形式的亲子关系同样成立。母亲这个反派形象很有代表性，以爱为糖衣，包裹着沉重的期许与难以抵抗的控制。很惊喜的一点是，影片写出了小美因渴望惯性的认可而导致的内心幽暗，她不断推诿以求自保。而母亲的底线是，只要女儿听话懂事就会天下太平。听话才是真正的毒瘤，是压抑痛苦的根源，但长辈给它取了个新名字，叫成长。第三幕的场面、节奏以及主题的呈现都太棒了。
#R# 4.0分。我其实观看时，哪怕是那次爆发后，觉得Leo Grande的服务更像是一个机器人，而“性圣人”的可贵之处也许是在于表达上的，他不仅给予了笨拙的Nancy探索的空间，也给予我们观察/倾听Nancy的空间。但是这种几乎迷幻的“平等关系”（还是通过购买和“机器人”式的塑造实现的，而且在Leo被激怒那一刻也依然让人如此不安），与其说是真实、或者退一步说是教科书，不如说是在给未来的模范式性爱机器人一本操作手册；一想到如此，就挺失落的。
