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.
完全按电影分镜画的吧，调度运镜都太牛了。一切都恰到好处，乍一看还是老励志套路，但其中的分寸拿捏的太好了。被剧透了五条人和九连，怎么没人和我说还有椅子啊。
剧作蹩脚，刻意煽情高燃，新意远远谈不上，映后场直接跑路。@金逸影城杜比影院超前观影
当代中国电影的评价方式：有舞狮就是传统文化，有留守儿童就是现实题材，有鸡血鸡汤就是追求梦想，总结：这是一部结合传统文化讲述追求梦想的现实题材电影，但实际上，第一它缺乏舞狮的专业性，在动画的夸张手法中，我们几乎没有增加对舞狮的了解和兴趣。第二它又缺乏中国特色现实题材里面的社会话题性，这是它爆不起来的一个重要原因，第三鸡汤鸡血只有欲望和煽情，但是没有可能更为重要的人与人之间的感情戏，亲情，友情，爱情，哪怕是师徒情，一样没占，这又是爆不起来的一个原因，所以唯一能夸的地方也就是美术了，最后还被人说是辱hua，这片能票房高那它真需要一个奇迹了。
你要梦想，还是生计？
接受一下贫下农再教育。很想知道印度基层党组织的情况到底怎样了。
在歧视正大光明的地方，不会有尊重和平等。法律都覆盖不到，更别谈道德和文明。片尾说顶罪的事情到现在还在发生，人类进步的脚步好慢啊
这样表现时代精神和普通人顽强不屈的品质的电影竟然被陷入辱华泥潭，真是时代之耻、你我之耻。
无关乎剧情和故事本身，只是如第一个影评所说，从此失去了看印度电影的“优越感”了
不畏强权为民请命这才是一个人权律师的正义之举，扎心的剧情，写实的手法，真心敬佩印度电影人的勇敢和专业，只有民主的宽松的审核机制才能拍出伟大的作品，任何艺术只要没有政治的介入都能大放异彩。
真是人靠衣装马靠鞍，男主穿正装跟条纹T恤完全不是一个人。 （这个评分为啥这么高感觉就中规中矩啊（最近看了两部印度片 那边刑讯逼供也太可怕了
4星半 。影片的主人公钱德鲁説过：一个人不在于拥有什么才能，而是可以用才能做些什么。影片中拉贾坎努案人身保护令的颁发突破了法律的限制，《杰伊•比姆》则在文化输出上让印度出圈。即便在电影制作本身上还存在一些不足，但不影响展现的事件的重要性
这才是正能量啊！如果没有真实的苦难，怎么会有理想的光辉。简直是印度版的捕蛇者说，仅是看电影中的暴力镜头就已经很让人感到不适了，但谁又知道现实存有的暴力会残酷多少倍，而那些棍棒是真实打在人身上的。电影很规整，不同段落的法庭戏的打光蛮有意思的。
中间叙事节奏有点拖沓，但是但是，最后那纵身一跃和前往上海继续打工，是非常成功的一笔。令人想到所有心怀理想的小人物面对命运压榨时候的“不认”，高光之后回归现实，一切都没有改变，但是一切都不一样。这种现实的理想主义做派，在热衷“造梦”的动画/国产电影中少见，不得不加星。（我也被木棉砸过，虽然在广州没见过那么漫山遍野的木棉）
8.5分，这个片子激起了人的愤怒，所以才能有这么强劲的力量。
不求名垂千古，只求在这个世界留下一些痕迹，证明我曾经存在过。
印度政府怎么能让这种电影过审？正义得以伸张的核心除了权力外的民权律师，还有权力内的警察处处长：”为了警察部门我什么都可以放到一边，但是我永远不会放弃我的良心，我很抱歉。“
确实电影节奏一般，重要的是题材。看到最后部分，心潮澎湃。“我可能会输，但不会放弃抗争”，令人动容。
可以拍得更好，但是这类电影实在太难拍了，因为一个案子背后是无数个不公正的累加，而且层层递进。很容易想到斯坦福监狱实验，但是更深刻的是不公正的本质究竟是什么？面对这个拷问，我们似乎只能寄希望于德性与良心。
【B－】一直反感当下主流3D动画中近乎走火入魔的拟真质感，也同样对港式励志喜剧的剧作套路无感。但在《雄狮少年》里，两者却在我的审美排斥下共同组成了另一种别样的存在，也就是现如今各种虚伪真人主旋律的轰炸下，我们竟然要在动画电影里才能找寻现实主义的表达。所以画面上的拟真追求有了落脚点，城市影像的介入实在是意外，缝隙中的朝日是全片高光所在。不过那些“高燃落泪”的评价仍然是可被计算的，但与其他纯粹消费题材的作品相比，本片高明之处便在于懂得收敛，知晓前方的真正壁垒所在。所以结局可以看作另一种《灌篮高手》，他们把梦留在了最高点，然后继续生活。
中规中矩。虽然小人物对抗强权的剧情很容易引起观众的共情，但整体没有特别出彩的地方，几段歌曲的插入也破坏了叙事连贯性，法庭戏也基本处在我方王者，对方青铜的状态上，没有营造过多的紧张感。
