《萨乐美》是美国1923年拍摄的一部著名无声电影,改编自奥斯卡·王尔德的同名小说及戏剧作品。影片讲述了少女萨乐美为追求心上人约翰·巴特勒,不惜牺牲自己,甚至请求国王希律以割舍女儿头颅为代价的故事。豆瓣内容: 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.在这部经典电影中,艾拉·娜兹莫娃扮演了萨乐美的角色。以下是她所演绎的三个关键场景中的台词:1. 萨乐美向国王希律提出请求:“请将我所爱之人赐予我。”(请求获得约翰·巴特勒)2. 当萨乐美得知希律答应了她的请求时,她激动地喊道:“我的愿望即将实现!”(获得国王的承诺)3. 在最后的决绝时刻,萨乐美坚定地说:“为了爱情,我愿意付出一切。”(为了追求真爱,不惜一切代价)《萨乐美》的主演阵容还包括了罗伯特·弗拉特曼饰演约翰·巴特勒,乔治·班克罗夫特饰演国王希律,以及奥利维亚·德哈维兰饰演公主。这些演员共同塑造了一个充满欲望与悲剧色彩的故事,使得《萨乐美》成为了电影史上的经典之作。
