Salome
Bill Wilder and Oscar Wilde had more in common than similar last names. Bill Wilder’s Hollywood horror film movie, Sunset Boulevard, and Oscar Wilde’s play, Salome, are based on the same plots: sexuality and desire. ... Bill Wider’s, Sunset Boulevard, plot is parallel to Oscar Wilde’s, Salome.
Oscar Wilde’s, Salome, is a play based up the biblical teachings of the beheading of John the Baptist referenced in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark of the New Testament. ...
The scene starts off with Salome, King Herod’s stepdaughter, hiding from the piercing eyes of the King. ... Salome’s curiosity gets the best of her when she hears the cries of Jokanaan. Quite intrigued by the sound of Jokanaan’s voice and defiantly ignoring the King’s order to keep Jokanaan in the Cistern, Salome demands the Tetrarch to retrieve Jokanaan for her viewing. Noticing the Tetrarch’s reluctance to bypass the King’s orders, Salome uses her sexuality to convince the Tetrarch to retrieve the prophet. The Tetrarch after giving way to his desire and lust for Salome disregards the King’s order and brings forth Jokanaan.
