what a beautiful portrayal of a passage in the Bible ( King Herod & his sister in-law & wife) Herodia asked for the head of John the Baptist thru the daughter.
@michaelpalmieri7335
Жыл бұрын
Her name was Herodias, and Salome wasn't King Herod's sister-in-law, she was his stepdaughter. Her real father was Herod Phillip, the brother of King Herod Antipas and Herodias's first husband, whom she deserted before she married Herod. This is why John The Baptist denounced Herod as an adulterer, which in turn, is why Herod had John arrested and thrown into a dungeon. Herodias was determined to get her revenge on John by having him killed, but Herod wouldn't allow it, because, according to Scripture, he actually enjoyed talking to John. That's when Herodias hatched her clever scheme to use her daughter to convince her husband to destroy the Baptist. She had her daughter dance for Herod during a birthday feast, and Herod was so "delighted" by her performance, that he offered to give her anything she asked for, up to the half of his kingdom. Whereupon, the daughter (Herod's stepdaughter) asked for the head of John The Baptist! Although horrified by this request, Herod had John beheaded and then sent the severed head to his wife's daughter on a silver platter. (Hence the expression "give on a silver platter," meaning to give a gift to someone even if he/she doesn't deserve it, or to somebody who used evil or dishonest means to obtain something.) Notice that I didn't refer to Herodias's daughter as "Salome" in relating the biblical version of how John The Baptist meant his death. There's a very good reason for that -- the Bible doesn't call her that! The story of John's demise is told twice in the New Testament, once in the Book of Matthew, and again in the Book of Mark (I don't remember the exact chapters and verses), and neither one of them says that the dancing girl who asked for the head of the Baptist was named Salome. Both refer to her as "the daughter of Herodias." That's all, just "the daughter of Herodias." (The Bible is full of unnamed people who are considered important, like the Good Samaritan, or the adulteress whom Jesus, the cousin of John The Baptist, saved from being stoned to death by telling her accusers to "let he who is without sin cast the first stone.") No one knows exactly who got the idea that Herodias's daughter was named Salome. Someone must have told Oscar Wilde about it, since this inspired him to write his famous, but controversial, play entitled "Salome," which was, years later, turned into an opera by Richard Strauss. It was Wilde's play that introduced audiences to the "Dance of the Seven Veils," even though the Bible specifically doesn't say that the "daughter of Herodias" (or "Salome," or whatever her name was) used even one veil as an erotic prop in her dance, let alone SEVEN veils. But, thanks to Wilde's play and Strauss's opera, generations have been led to believe that the young woman who caused the beheading of John The Baptist was actually named Salome, and that she performed a dance involving seven veils. So, it was inevitable that the infamous veils would be used in the 1953 film with Rita Hayworth as everyone's favorite biblical temptress, even if the movie took a lot of liberties with the traditional story, by having the title character perform her sensuous dance in order to convince King Herod Antipas to release the Baptist from prison, an effort which is thwarted when her mother, Herodias, assumes that her daughter has decided to go along with her mom's revenge against the man who denounced her and her husband as adulterers, which leads her to have John beheaded ahead of time, and to have his head presented to Salome, to her screaming horror! Naturally enough, Salome (regardless of whether that was her name or not) has been a regular character in various religious movies and TV shows, including two silent films called "Salome," one made in 1918, and the other made in 1923 (the latter is more akin to the Oscar Wilde play and the Richard Strauss opera, in which Salome asks for the Baptist's head, not because her mother told her to, but because John wouldn't let her kiss him on the lips; after being given John's bloody head, Salome kisses his lifeless lips, which disgusts King Herod so much, that he orders his soldiers to kill her, even though this didn't happen in either of the biblical versions of the tale), as well as the 1961 epic "King Of Kings" (in this one, Salome asks for John's head because Herod didn't want to execute a man he considered "a great prophet"; when Salome makes her request for the prophet's head, a shocked Herod asks her "What would you want with the head of a man?" "I want to look at it," she replies, coldly) and the 1977 television miniseries "Jesus Of Nazareth" (here, when John's death and the events that led up to it are shown, it's more in line with the actual biblical story, and the so-called "seven veils" are conspicuously absent, just as they were in "King Of Kings"). In another film, called "Salome's Last Dance" (based on a play, I think), Oscar Wilde himself visits a London brothel, where the pretty prostitutes perform his play about Salome. Incidentally, the Bible does mention a woman named Salome, but this one was not the one that we all know about, or at least, THOUGHT we all knew about. This Salome was one of the holy women who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, the tale of John The Baptist's death isn't the only passage from the Bible that been misread or transformed into something different. There's the Adam and Eve story in the Book of Genesis, where the couple are banished from the Garden of Eden for disobeying God's orders not to eat an apple from the Tree of Knowledge. However, the actual story doesn't specifically say that the fruit that Adam and Eve ate was an apple. It just refers to the fruit as -- "FRUIT"! Another example is the tale about Jonah being swallowed by a whale. But, the Bible doesn't say that the creature that swallowed Jonah was a "whale." It merely says that it was "a great fish." (This fact is mentioned in the play and movie "Inherit The Wind," in which it's wrongly said that "a great fish" is "the same thing" as a whale, which isn't true, because a whale is a mammal, whereas a fish is considered a reptile.) Then, there was the story of Samson and Delilah (the latter being another infamous temptress). Delilah, it is said, tricked Samson into revealing that his massive strength comes from his hair. Thus, Delilah, who was involved in a plot hatched by Samson's enemies, cut off all his hair while he was asleep, causing him to become weak. Unfortunately, this is how most people have been led to believe was the real story, and it's been repeated in plays, songs, an opera, and of course, the 1949 movie "Samson And Delilah," with Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title roles. In the Bible, however, when Samson tells Delilah the secret of his strength, it isn't because he was in love with her, as is often believed, but because she wore him down with her constant questions and badgering. Furthermore, she didn't cut his hair off herself. She had a man come in to SHAVE his hair off. It just shows that a lot of what we supposedly think about the Holy Bible and its stories and teachings are as much myths as the tale of George Washington and the cherry tree. A footnote: this is not an attack on the Scriptures. It is meant to inform and enlighten in order to help people gain a better understanding of the Bible.

May be that the "stiff and unnatural" expresses Salome's high tension and sociopolitical ambition in this dance--she aspired to capture Herod and did. She was not just another harem chorister.
Undoubteby she the inmortal Rita Haywoth but once more we see how her talents were dismissed by the Studio. Salome was suppose to be 16 years old and Rita even with all her talent and her charm could not make thi movie believable.

That's when they presented her with the severed head of John the Baptist. In the actual biblical story of John's death, which is found in the Book of Matthew and the Book of Mark, when King Herod asked Salome (who's referred to as "the daughter of Herodias," and her actual name is never mentioned) what reward would she like for her dance, she replied that she wanted the head of John the Baptist to be given to her on a silver platter. This was at the urging of her mother, Herodias, who was angry at John for denouncing her adulterous marriage to Herod, while she was still married to her husband's brother, Herod Phillip. In the film "Salome" (1953) Herodias (Dame Judith Anderson) explains to Salome (Rita Hayworth) her plan to destroy the Baptist by having her dance for Herod (Charles Laughton) as a way of seducing him into having John beheaded. However, Claudius, who's one of Herod's soldiers, and who has fallen in love with Salome, has been listening to the teachings and speeches of Jesus Christ, and has slowly been converted to the new religion that will later bear Christ's name. He and Salome realize that John is indeed a great prophet (especially when they find out that John and Jesus are cousins) and needs to be saved from Herodias's desire to have him killed. Salome tells Claudius that she'll use her mother's plan in reverse. She will dance for Herod, but when he asks her what she will have for her dance, instead of asking for John's head, she'll plead with Herod to spare John's life and release him from prison. Unfortunately, when Salome starts dancing in front of Herod, Herodias assumes that her daughter has decided to go along with her plot against John. This is why when Herod says "I'd give her half my kingdom," Herodias replies "No, give her the head of the Baptist." Herod, although a little startled by this, nods his head in agreement, and Herodias orders that the Baptist is to be executed, and that his head be presented to Salome. Of course, when Salome sees the guard bringing in the silver platter bearing John's bloody head, she's stunned and screams (the latter part isn't shown here), while her cruel mother laughs in triumph and the horrified Herod runs through his palace, believing himself to be in danger of God's wrath. (just as his father, King Herod the Great, was punished by God for having the baby boys who were two years old or younger killed in Bethlehem, hoping the infant Jesus would be among them). Afterwards, Salome and Claudius leave the palace for good, and in the last scene, they stand with many other people listening to Jesus give His famous Sermon on the Mount. (Here, Jesus is only heard and not seen, because the camera focuses mainly on Claudius and Salome as they, along with the rest of the crowd, listen to the words of the Son of God.) Interestingly enough, instead of the usual "The End" seen at the conclusion of movies, "Salome" ends with the words "This was the beginning."

No. There are camera angles with multiple cameras that have to be positioned. Angles and distance focusing for close ups. Lighting set ups for the assigned position of the actor. These have to be positioned and rehearsed well in advance, and the location dynamics have to be taken into account as well. There is no possible way these decisions were decided by Rita Hayworth.
