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.
我喜欢的星期三为主角我很开心……但是剧情真的好无聊
看着老牛仔迟暮的身影还在拼，我实在不忍心给低分，每次都带着且看且珍惜的心在敬畏东木爷爷的作品。但讲真的这部拍得并没有很好，故事有些地方的发展真的不顺畅，很多桥段设计感略重。
很想看母女俩逛古董店选衣服来着……可惜Wednesday拒绝了
这一部不是那种老少咸宜的动画电影……自觉没什么意思……
迟暮的东木，依旧怀着英雄式的温柔，角色很平，故事也不够新。
挺好。还有风韵犹存的墨西哥老板娘在小镇开着店，“Until we find each other again.”全片也正如老爷子面对暮年的老狗所说： “我不知道怎么治愈‘老’，但今晚你们也许应该睡在一块儿。” 放下Macho的辉煌成就，让Cowboy好好地睡一觉吧。
好弱智，看完之后更一般般，不然也不是一般般了
3.0
致敬91岁的东木爷！
老爺子已經老到要雞幫忙了，顫顫巍巍的樣子好怕隨時會倒。
3.5。東木這幾年的電影都挺一根筋的。區別僅在於，他自己主演的時候這個問題會更嚴重一點。
剧情简单，下饭电影，亚当斯一家之女儿的身世。
没想到这竟然还会拍2，没想到2的剧情比1弱智这么多😐
五星献给Marta，附带一星给大公鸡和保甲长。
情节很正能量，一点也不哥特，只有妆容造型哥特而已。
这个ip真的不错 可是第二部明显对不起这些人物 故事凌乱拼凑 主旨立意走偏 可惜
family 不变的主题
PS 想念大峡谷和三藩红桥
看得非常疑惑，既然已经拿出过《完美的世界》，又何必把“父子”上路的情节再拍一遍，还编排得如此笨拙？最要命的是，这是一部不服老的电影，而老牛仔已经比《爱尔兰人》还要步履蹒跚，却仍要逞强驭马。东木明明在《骡子》里给自己留下了一个体面的结局，又用《理查德·朱维尔的哀歌》证明了导演技艺的稳健，但《哭泣的男人》完全是破功之作，不过九十岁老人的进取心终究值得一个瑞思拜。
