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.
每个人大概都有了圆满的归宿，平淡、优雅、浪漫，温柔却坚定着。唐顿在每一次时代的变迁中重生。
希望Maggie Smith在我死之前都一直演戏。
电影开始于婚礼，结束于葬礼以及新生命的到来。Goodbye，Lady Grantham.
还以为是皆大欢喜的大团圆结局，竟然拍到老夫人去世了。一晃眼这多年过去了。
3.5星。把每个人都写活了，几次让我想起《红楼梦》。 保守与时尚的交融，高贵与平凡的碰撞，充满爱的一大家子。对欧洲来说，一个最好的时代，也是几百年地理大发现、殖民财富积累的结果。
因为上海这破管控甚至无法出现在戏院的一出戏，岁月真是神奇，把Mary和Edith都雕塑得如此优雅迷人。这ip趁还能拍就继续多拍些吧，完全能想象英国人看时估计跟我看末代皇帝一个心情：那些美好的fragile却lively的我们无法再次拥有的历史。
有人重操旧业成为唐顿历史的一部分，
看到老太太走了忍不住了TAT 老人走新人来 唐家屯里的每个人都能有自己的归属就好了
唐顿好美。台词一贯的优雅。老太太去世的场景大概是一个人离世时最完美的状态了。
新时代随着交替中拉开帷幕。服装满分，布景满分，英英满分，无可挑剔。另外，Mosley太可爱了。
视听语言工业化流程的食物链顶端，感觉被工业化碾压，处处透露着讲究，每处巧妙设计在没人的电影院里拍手叫绝手舞足蹈，燃起了补剧集的冲动。感谢电影，今天在影像里去了英国法国意大利，什么时候能出去旅游啊！
永远都会为唐家屯的温馨落泪，玛丽配音时、莫斯利求婚时、奶奶离开时……看着他们一步步地跟着时代变迁和进步，却又有着始终坚守的品质。 应该是全系列最终曲了吧:-(
没必要去电影院看没必要去电影院看没必要去电影院看👊🏻👊🏻
“你看我像是会拒绝南法别墅的人吗？”
希望继续拍
PS. 那个片头的演员表顺序是什么鬼？看着像是打乱重排的，但是也不像是按照咖位的，难不成是按照片酬么？这样的话Laura Carmichael好牛逼啊
时：这座豪华而又年事已高的庄园，时间飞逝。
这次迎接电影剧组，创意是来自《古宅老友记》嘛？电影版一直在配对，连小厨娘、老厨娘、太太的贴身丫鬟，甚至巴罗都配上了，有点替老太太的贴身丫鬟可怜，唯一没成对，主人还去世了。
笑着笑着就开始流泪了。（还有机会看到老爷和太太年轻时候的爱情故事么？
老夫人的离去，我在电影院泣不成声，十年来见证了克劳利家族的风风雨雨：
