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.

定格动画的观感，内容大致和二战有关。血腥暴力一锅乱炖，还有真人出境，好感度大减。
杂乱昏暗的世界背景下充斥着各类畸形怪物，在大量定格模型的镜头下显得真实可怖，以一种先遣队探险式的路线走进下层布满惊恐无序压抑的环境中，看出了压榨掠夺和战争的反讽元素，但导演最终的核心没有能把握到。
太精致的定格动画，每一帧都很用心，就是画面是真的是掉san，而且情节的确非常非常的晦涩。
废土朋克+定格动画+末日题材+光怪陆离的血腥场景，看得出想映射核爆、压迫、专制的现实意义，可惜的是画风太过恶心，引起生理不适，快进着看完的。
虽然血腥暴力肮脏缺乏主线，但想象力太丰富了。
工业废土，科幻战争，血腥暴力，古怪迷幻，这是一场满足你猎奇心的盛宴。
业余创作是挑战一个人恒心韧性的事情，完成mad god这样的动画要30年的长度、一辈子都不一定够、但业余创作最大的意义就是可以无视商业和观众的存在，为自己而做、纯粹又真炽、稀缺又疯狂、就有可能成为传奇
无功无过，在虚实之间游走的“半”历史片- -被精心打磨的角色性格，着力锐化虚构角色与决定对改变历史进程的重要作用；Jeremy Irons对张伯伦的演绎或许如设计的方向，帮助更多人（至少有兴趣/被片刻说服）重新建构认知。但这并非上课，可以补足什么新奇理论；也非写尽波云诡谲、更花招的类型片；徒留大段生活的琐碎细节以及毫无进展的情绪特写。表达上的停顿阻止它能完全呈现原著的精彩，些微可惜。
观感太割裂了，我承认画风很“特别”，但就是这种特别让我在“这是一坨屎”和“这是神作”之间反复横跳。通篇意识流的拍法让我难以接受，我花了三天才看完这逼玩意，结果最后你告诉我这就是一场梦？
我愿意相信标题的「疯神」指的是创作者自己，想象力的混乱集合体，一个颓废、疯狂、残忍的世界，充满了死亡和不可名状的生命，机械而又非理性。
我又可以說出那句話了
好险没在吃饭的时候看，太血腥太恶心了，中间一段掏内脏那里，胃里不舒服了，开始真不知道是动画，那老人脸做的太像了吧。不过内容不精彩，看完只能想到血腥画面。
我看不懂但我大受震撼。什么样的人才能想象出这种画面和表现方式呢，真牛啊
最后的时钟将我带回仿佛一切未曾有过，一切都想一场疯狂的梦。
邪典版《2001太空漫游》。从血肉泥筑到废土朋克、机械生命到彩色异形，这是无比瑰丽之想象力创造出的恐怖美学集大成者。故事是混乱的、时间是混乱的、世界观同样是混乱的，在不知所云的咿呀低语中，没有一种生物能保持理智，又或许只有舍弃理智才能在这个疯狂的地底世界生存下去。
评论区：真无聊！浪费了生命中的两个小时！但它还是很牛🤙
7.7/10 铁锈与血肉的残忍组合，难以言表的疯狂世界
有些画面极易引起不适。
看的一头雾水,前边还是很爽的,后面就开始迷了
