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.
5. 死去便死去，至少做好告别。余下的，也只能渡过。
😅在戏剧性和肥皂剧之间还是回归了肥皂剧……
命题很好但展开的太浅薄 人的情感太复杂了 以及科技都到了可以复制意识的程度却治不了绝症…我不理解
终于看了个好片子定定神 话说一直以为有反转比如Jack突然暴走了比如轮到Poppy了……到最后想起来是部苹果片啊……那肯定不会出现那么反科技的情节了哈哈哈
小清新文艺科幻 没有侧重于伦理/认知/被替代这些冲突性的角度 而是从情感上描绘 男主从愤怒到不甘到接受 最后的最后看着爱人对自己（的克隆体）说 i will love you always 释然放手 || 我觉得太悲伤了 T_T 个体明明都消亡了你爱的人和爱你的人却不知道 - 没有人会怀念你纪念你追悼你想着你流泪 他们只会和另一个你创造你无法参与的新的回忆。自私的我肯定不会做出男主的选择。
Cameron会弄混两人的巧克力还自以为大方地送给Poppy，而Poppy一直很清楚巧克力的真假但依然愿意愉快地和Cameron分享，这也是他们俩对待克隆的不同态度。
马克思说，人的本质是社会关系的总和。

如果换了iphone se3，现在这部se我一定会珍藏
83/100。2021的科幻片里我看过最好的一部。满满的《黑镜》既视感。我本来对这部电影是没有什么期待的，但它给了我一个大大的惊喜。全片的运镜都很美，很有科幻感。克隆人的题材已不新鲜，但马赫沙拉·阿里的表演将一个平常的故事变得触动人心。淡去了对伦理的探讨，以“爱”为内核贯穿全片，本片显得非常温情。为了爱、为了让所爱之人幸福，你愿意被替代、在异地孤独地离开人世吗？
有点儿托卡尔丘克的味道。 对了，天鹅一名是对应诗神吧？
软科幻，情感上大于内容，阿里演的太好了，每一个眼神都饱含着情感，内容不多，就导致太碎片化，立意也很浅，像概念的延伸
想法十分不错，从克隆人类型中另辟蹊径，不再从争夺、替代、欺骗这些直接的主题中寻求新时代（姑且这么称呼）生命体的答案，而是让他们在人类因故离去之后，完成人类所未完成的任务或使命，很有点像前段时间的《芬奇》，代替人类守护家人（宠物）这样的设定，整部片子节奏舒缓，极其适合消磨午后时光，四颗星。
无论是临终告别还是爱和你能否克隆继续，都是非常喜欢的母题，气氛表演美术都可谓优质极点，但仿佛还是差了点什么，框架和表达多于情感和真挚。
对于什么都拥有的人来说，这是个梦幻结局了，不管是自己还是自己所爱的人以及其他负有责任的人和事。对于大洋彼岸的很多人来说，能得到一个安静优美的、衣食无忧的临终之所已经是莫大奢望。
故事挺无聊挺没吸引力的，活脱脱像一个苹果广告片的调调
我并不认为人类可以被代替，如果我能在对方心里留下重量，死亡可怕吗？
阳光温暖我的脸庞
拍的蛮美的，但是议题已经不新颖，思考也蜻蜓点水浮皮潦草的。
