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.
国产电影需要更多这种接地气的片子，而不是央六最爱的那些非院线电影，也不是院线那些无病呻吟故作矫情强行煽情生硬要人感动的东东。
反观禁言，印度在讲述这些故事又怎么不是一种好事呢😄
真相会打破平静，但说出真相才是最正确的选择。 （谢谢你呀小du，和你在一起真的很开心）
潮汕方言的外来媳妇本地郎，现实只会比电影更苛刻，远没有结尾这么理想化。
但是最終我們一定會走向這樣的結局
最后一幕四人坐在一起，为爱斗争了真正地胜利，不分性别，感情是自然而发的，里面人物最大变化是男主，一个大男子主义内心薄弱的Gay，最终能主动直面出轨，女主真的对他改变很多，这个孩子一出生感受的爱就是double 的🌈
一种妥协，一种无奈
8.0水准，没有一秒是浪费！！现实和浪漫交杂，太棒了！！
以前是五十步笑百步，现在人家已经加速跑了，而再看看这边......
同居两年还不生，奶奶教你；五牲高香拜三拜，心诚则灵。
看到惺惺相惜和最后的印度同志大游行…有一些破防了😢
印度电影都开始层次，深度了，内地呢？啥时候可以正式这个问题，能拍LGBT题材电影？姬和基形婚、领养、出柜，不争的事实确永远要被藏起来！希望给多点的勇气，多点的阳光，希望终将会到来吧～
穿插了歌舞元素还蛮轻松的，一开始还以为男女主人公的取向会逆转，是我世俗执念了。
认真写影评：
真好看哟！不管什么题材都可以来一段绚丽歌舞，哈哈哈哈哈😄
看这部电影中一直感到观念的冲突，或许我已经不算是一个正宗潮汕人了，一个素质这么高条件这么好的女生，跟这么一个男生本来就委屈了，还要去潮汕舔未来公婆，看得人生气——很好地延续了潮汕话电影一贯以自恋型男生作为主角的传统。这么排斥“外省”的应该是男主奶奶这一辈人才对，现在潮汕人和外地嫁娶多了，男主爸妈这一辈早都习惯了。电影还是有很多不成熟的地方，比如低俗的插科打诨，不好笑又尴尬。相比之前还是进步了。潮阳话真是超级难听懂，尤其是男主爸爸，让人一句都没听到。
就是地方台常拍的那种家长里短剧，只能说鼓励这种在地文化的创作，但电影本身并不好看。
质朴无华的电影，人物都那么可爱，歌也好听，好喜欢
另一个译制组翻译的名字《永结同心》我觉得更能符合这个电影的基调，一个男同跟一个女同结婚，双方约定互不侵犯各过各的，片子前一个半小时剧情比较单调以叙述谈心为主，给闪婚男女主互相熟悉的一个过程。
连印度都这么前卫了吗？我们呢？就不说和日韩相比了，和印度啊，和种姓制度奴役下的印度啊。
