萨乐美(1923)

　　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.

豆瓣电影网友：《萨乐美》是一部美国电影，1923年播出以来就受到广大观众的喜爱，经常看美国电影，喜欢的原因：首先觉得美国电影比较有剧情，内容比较丰富多彩，只有你想不到没有美国电影想不到的情节。再有就是众所周知的特效，美国电影的超级特效特别好、特别炫、特别高逼格，自然而然会带给你很多视觉冲击。当然我们国内的影视特效也有飞快的进步，现在很多大片的特效都在国内做得，最后应该就是人物了，演员演技不说，人物角色往往都贴满鲜明的标签。当然美国电影也有让我有分分钟弃剧冲动的，槽点满满，所以一部好电影，好美国电影在以上三点（情、特效、角色设置）的选择上是至关重要的。它重视个人成就、崇拜个人奋斗，讲究个人价值最大程度的实现。美国电影是灌输个人主义的主要工具，从上一篇:萨尔瓦多 下一篇:三更天，“救世主们”一次次让美国扮演拯救世界的角色，英雄来到地球是“为了美国式的真理和正义”，让观众在不知不觉中认同美国具有拯救并主导世界强权地位的天然能力。
