Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after.
Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development.
Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards.
No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career.
A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag.
Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival.
In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
“You're not doing this for me. ”如果说这是一部女权作品，那这句话需要向更多人呐喊出声。如果实在要说有什么被唤醒了，大概是结局升官发财死老公吧。
集大成的極簡電影作品，優秀地利用和展示了多重感觀緯度，和不怎麼複雜卻永遠新鮮的愛的主題。導演在諸多細節上把控完美，allbirds的鞋，frank ocean的歌，ui的質感和動效，山間的雕刻石凳，松林里的滴答雨聲共同組成了一組恆定的靜謐氣氛。--很慶幸這次是自己戴了耳機獨自觀看影片，可以深深沉浸到那個接近空白的極簡空間，盯著孩子的眼睛去回憶一段時間。😭
画室一段默默流泪。抱抱狗狗。😭 有代入感，恐惧抗拒厌恶憎恨甚至冲动下想要毁掉一切的无助情绪很真实。所谓“困兽犹斗”，困兽不是坏人，他只是想不到别的好办法了啊。😭很难判断是自私还是无私，伦理题真是无解。
概念片，但概念也不是很新鲜，得亏了阿里的演技让这个故事还算可信。
和《芸芸众生》那个独角电视剧里面的设定相同，人物性格截然不同，但作为主角本身，即将被替代，都是一个自我救赎与回顾的过程，更喜欢这部长篇的设定和处理方式吧，细腻且让人舒服。
温情的科幻惊悚片，和《我是你的人》有得一拼。每个人演得都好棒呀，奥卡菲娜再次给到小朋友惊喜。
没人在乎受害女主的想法，俩男主只在乎自己的ego，女人只是财产，被强了是女方的错，外人不在乎真相，只想看一场生死搏斗来满足原始本性中的一部分以及获取茶余饭后的谈资……社会地位的根本，是生产资料的掌握……放贷，永不过时，中世纪是地主放贷，随着时代发展，这些世家的后代们演变为银行家、资本家、财阀、黑帮亦或黑白通吃……
-“雷爷爷厌男” -“他是厌男还是厌人” 😂😂
结尾处理得好绝，人们在为男人的胜利欢呼，无人在意真相，也无人在意女人的悲喜。
以爱之名，让爱延续
史诗。法国版罗生门。但是选角有问题啊，男二不能找个帅点的吗，ross一样，让女人说英俊，不违心吗。很短的几个战斗场面，服饰、武器、动作、效果，无比精良。叙述本身，三个视角，对比强烈，感触良多。每个人都生活在自己的世界里，同一件事，看到听到记忆的都如此不同。都感觉自己付出很多、成就很多、品格高尚弱化缺点。直男癌整天征战、利益、后嗣，性生活两分钟粗暴结束还问女的愉悦吗，那年代的共识，女的愉悦才能受孕，强奸不会怀孕。也难怪妻子受冷落不被理解细腻的心思无所寄托。那整天跟着上司群p的，一贯来硬的，认为说no是淑女的行为方式，并不是拒绝。女性视角明显细腻很多，偏感受。那个年代，不说决斗裁判这种sb行为了，女的是男的财产，没有法律权利。老夫人都说自己曾被强奸，so what，活着才重要，什么年代啊。
根据法国中世纪一个真实事件改编，故事本身挺有意思，也有着复杂且丰富的背景，能够让人们一窥那个时代的生活。雷德利·斯科特在很大程度上也还原了这一事件，故事叙述得还比较流畅，尽管其三个视角的拍摄方式也在模仿《罗生门》，且不到位。影片最大的问题在于导演以现在的眼光去看待七百多年前事情，让当时人来承担现代人的责任，并说出当时根本无法说出的话语，殊为可笑。只是展现一段历史讲述一个故事，不是挺好吗？为何总要让一个娱乐片挤进这么多时髦的思潮呢？
人要与自己和解是最难的，以及，从自我的高傲中剥离出来也是最难的，所以，这剧情来得太轻松了。
简介里的“罗生门”并不准确，确切的说是用三个不同角色的视角展现了同样情节的故事，最终每个人坚定地站在自己的立场上，可悲又可笑。借古讽今丝毫不落俗套。比如吴签事件众生相本片皆有角色对照（如：女主“好姐妹”的背叛代表了多少愿为男神维护形象甚至献身的迷妹们），而最后的决斗，输赢又有什么重要
小变态演的好。看完以后我才反应过来:婆婆是大傻
20210807预告片；20211211，罗生门的三段体，但自我感觉没领会到导演试图表达的真实情感，6分；为配合全片氛围，色调灰暗，白天也是阴天
软科幻小品，其实关于所谓克隆人的探讨never let me go更有意思。对于此类和自己克隆人见面的题材，往深了想其实不是记忆和肉体的事情，而是灵魂的问题。本片结尾很温馨也伤感，整体画风呈现出了苹果商店装修风格，不知道是好是坏了😂
話說，同樣是複製黑人，李安的《雙子殺手》要是能加上本片的一些人性元素就不會那樣沒養分。
太像apple tv能做出来的戏了，我的妈呀。把市侩老梗讲出性冷淡风可能也是现在的流行趋势吧。
分两次看完全片，前两个视角过于沉闷导致观感索然无味但铺垫详实稳健，最后玛格丽特的视角才真正升华了全片，也是电影的高潮和点睛之处。雷老爷子宝刀不老，用大制作拍小故事，服化道还原到位，战斗场面处理得依旧犀利震撼。好期待雷老爷子再拍一个中世纪的冷兵器战争片啊。
