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.

我欠《雄狮少年》一张电影票啊啊啊啊啊
目前最好的国漫，将一个俗套的故事讲得无比动人，它不是热血燃漫，是触动人心的现实主义寓言，没有少年逆袭，有的只是普通人挣扎了一下偶尔泛起的美丽水花，使动画承载了难得的现实性和反思性。每个穿梭在城市建筑中蝼蚁般的无名之人，都渴望着一种突破生活走出平庸的超越性，「敬你的沉默，和每一声怒吼，敬你弯着腰，上山往高处走」，五条人、椅子和九连的配乐好评（4.5）
连音乐也不放过，把《功夫》和《成吉思汗》稍微改改就变成自己原声了吗？《世间始终你好》《十年埋伏》换个版本用。
那些说燃的，早上开早会多吼两句一样也很燃。
勉强及格。前两幕的铺垫戏很差，第一有国产动画的通病，人物的动机非常单薄，主角三人组都是别人一句话就过来练舞狮了，如果加上他们周遭沉浸在舞狮传统的环境描画会好些。第二用了大量周星驰式处理，主角三人组反复被欺压，另一方面是主角作为留守青年的逼仄生活，电影在处理无厘头与写实卖惨间的调和时很生涩。第三整体人物塑造套路，怕老婆的师父，嘴硬心软的师母什么的，表现亲情或是励志的台词也偏口号化而无实质内容。最后的舞狮高潮是渲染到位的，某种程度上，这是暗弱的铺垫戏形成的反差效果，但又不仅止于此，支撑这场高潮的还有三个元素，第一是本地音乐的使用，五条人九连真人之类，弥补了一些欠缺的在地质感也接住了角色情绪。第二是堪称优质的动画技术，雾蒙蒙的纵深感，逆光中的毛发细节什么的。第三是主角男生女相、以娟为名的伪娘元素
年度最佳。结尾的剪辑节奏绝了，导演有点东西。为什么不在春节上啊？
真是用拍真人电影的力气去拍动画 从电影1/3的地方就有点蚌埠住了 所有的手段和方式都能猜到 连结局都那么明显 但是还是哭地不要不要 人生已经如此艰难 为什么我们不能奋斗一个奇迹 对这个片子除了剧情之外的讨论都是无意义的 很明显沉迷在这些讨论里的人 心里都没有一头雄狮
警察的暴行看得害怕。感谢这么多年里为人权而战斗的勇士们！
【3.0】一部显而易见地吸收了周氏喜剧养分的动画作品。从剧情走向到议题表达，阿娟父母城市务工线恰巧对应了《长江七号》，废材舞狮线则对应了《功夫》和《少林足球》，冷场式的幽默和抖包袱的节奏也佐证着影片对周星驰的学习。至于电影添加的那点儿为多数观众鼓吹的现实残酷鸡血，你要说它好吧，在《百万美元宝贝》这种真正意义上的反励志电影面前，它显得不够狠和准，且最终电影还是回归到“努力就有回报”和“咸鱼翻身人定胜天”的励志叙事；你要说它不好吧，它确实投合了中国年轻一代观众的焦虑，以此实现了商业片的媚众。
宁愿做过了后悔，也不要错过了后悔。
一场追逐梦想和现实妥协的矛盾冲突，题材对准了底层劳动人民和留守儿童，虽然影片前半段的“咸鱼翻身”不免俗套，但是不影响后面的燃，所以是要梦想还是要生计？最后结局找到了平衡，狮头挂在那里，生活依旧，梦想也在延续。
最后的彩蛋里，阿娟还是去了上海，住在脏乱差的宿舍里，面对着擎天柱一样的东方明珠，守护着曾经的舞狮梦想和那个还没有开始就无疾而终的爱情。心酸又现实。强仔也一定又回去送咸鱼，阿猫仍然一事无成，阿狗也依然做回那个屠夫。相信奇迹又怎样，跨上了擎天柱又怎样，普通人实现阶级跃迁哪里这样简单。想起那些口口声声说“穷就是因为懒”“没钱就去搬砖送外卖”的人，请不要在“何不食肉糜”。贫穷不是个人问题。农民辛苦种了一辈子地也依然贫穷，只有微薄的退休金和日渐上涨的物价；在外打了一辈子工的人也依然治不起病，甚至没有“工伤险”，只能不断地消耗子女亲人。那么多穷人拼命想把孩子往高处送，却受限于环境、教育、家庭。就算子女好不容易有了学历、地位，却因为家乡的父母生病、弟妹读书、缺乏远见…失去了一次又一次的机会，又变回平庸……
看前我还五十五十，看后这玩意ru华？我不认！这是弘扬醒狮最好的动画电影，前半段有点拖沓和套路。后半段节奏立刻就上来了，无论是天台练习还是最后跳擎天柱，都做得无与伦比。它不仅热血，还包含着小人物在大城市中的挣扎。结尾的处理恰当好处。主角一开始看是真丑，到最后是真帅！这就是人格魅力让一个并不好看的角色散发光芒，啥都颜值优先，这才是最需要被打破的标签
～～～～～～～
目前心中最棒的国漫。虽然在看之前就能想到大致剧情发展，但是电影一开始我还是被画面色彩构图以及男主的发型深深吸引了，运镜也好棒，在天台那一段真的被戳到…结局的留白也很喜欢。爆夸插曲和片尾曲，打算二刷。ps：眼睁睁看着前排大哥电影看一半就拿起手机豆瓣打了一星！（因为他手机屏幕实在太亮，仿佛手电筒举在了我面前😭）心碎呐喊：我刀呢？
美其名曰弘扬传统文化，拍舞狮，却又不讲舞狮，除了片头旁白零星几句，舞狮哪里好，要怎么练，有什么讲究传统，通片只字不提，就光拍拿着狮头跳，只是借个壳子噱头而已。 全片优点可能就是舞狮行头的质感了，做的确实不赖。 团队少看点《乐夏》和周星驰，做个不偷鸡的作品出来不行麽。
可是李白说过“天生我材必有用”，李白还说过“仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人”，还是李白他说“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海”。难道他说的这些话都是骗人的吗？难道他是一个骗子吗？如果他说的这些话都是假的，那为什么大声念出来的时候，依然会觉得热血沸腾呢？
电影里只有逆袭成功的童话，现实中看不见咸鱼一生的平凡。
希望少年们都不止低头看脚下路，保持内心的呐喊和身披盔甲的向往，让梦想再度珍贵起来。
