Ikr it was very much like the (modern day/Western influenced) Kundalini dancing I've seen & particularly the (more traditional/Eastern influenced) Shiva Tandava wedding dance (which has different choreography depending on the dancer), but yeah. If you know, you know. The choreography is actually brilliant. Not saying I endorse paganism, but wasn't that the point, to show the debauched & degraded lifestyle of Herod who was supposed to be a Jew?
This is probably the best rendition of Salome's dance I have ever seen. It was not seductive, it was very ethnically and historically accurate and tantalizing with the music and amazing acrobats. I love the historical and cultural richness of it without it being sexual. A lot of these ancient cultures, we lose what their music, food, language, dance, costumes, etc would be like and that's what I love about this show....the texture. In the acting, the backstories, the costumes, the set, the cinematography. Its very rich and does not have the look of a low budget independent film. Bravo. 👏🏻
I was impressed by the amazing gymnastics and acrobatics thrown in. It's seductive without being obviously sexual. Very hypnotising and almost snake-like.

@@Yennefer_Of_Vengerberg--1266 I don't know in terms of Asian versus middle eastern.

The dynamics of this family is so weird and crazy 😂 from the in-laws marrying to mom using daughter to seduce her uncle/stepdad. No wonder John rebuked them
@@emmamchugh9788indeed, for our society standards it's really disgusting behaviour. But at that time (if I'm not wrong) that kind of union was not strange for highborn.
Yes , but in the episode 2 , Jesus told John " he didn't think that was a good idea to rebuke Herod" Jesus never said that to John , and John called himself a radical . John never said that , why do people not care what the bible actually says. This series is deepening people's deception and many won't ever see the teal Jesus of the bible. They will have a false Christ image of this chosen Jesus . It's really sad that people don't care what Jesus actually said , they just want the entertainment . They call it authentic, pure, holy. They look at rouini like he is some sort of channeler for Jesus himself. It's terrible. Johnathan even prayed to the dead preacher Lonnie frisbee for help in playing Lonnie in the Jesus revolution. The man went to Lonnie's grave and prayed , not to Jesus Christ, not to God, but the dead in order to " do Lonnie justice" But again , all these facts and truths mean little to nothing to anyone emotionally attached to this false Jesus.

The dancer here is absolutely talented and that movement control is insane. I actually think that this is a brilliant foreshadowing of, "Beauty can be deceiving."
Briar Nolet is amazing! I love this episode so much! I think about this poignant moment in the Gospels when the ending of a life was decided in such cold and full of pride way by Herod,,, ughf. The Chosen delivered such a beautiful depiction of it. 💯📢
I know the actual reason for the dance was evil revenge since the queen Herodias wanted John the Baptizer dead. Now, for just a moment on this scene, let us set aside all biblical thoughts to look at the artistic aspects of the performance. Let us recognize the dancer/actress Briar-Nolet for giving an outstanding performance in this scene. Her movements were very precise, along with her jumps, turns and toe points were just remarkable. From a dance perspective she did an outstanding job! Great performance Briar!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Let's all focus on the dancing chicken and not on the obvious false Jesus this series puts out there. I simply read my bible and I know Jesus Christ , when I watch this series I haven't seen the authentic Jesus as Dallas Jenkins said. I guess I'm a radical because I call it like I see it, something Jesus told John in this series that it wasn't a wise idea to confront herod. ( Artistic licence =going beyond what is written ) Jesus never told John that at all . What's sad is that no matter what you will probably ignore the obvious and trade the true Jesus Christ found in the Holy scriptures , the bible, and replace him with the chosen Jesus and yet claim you know Jesus . But it's all a deception , the devil has counterfeited Christ Jesus . I understand more now how easy it will be for Satan to convince the world that he is the saviour . He has convinced millions that this chosen Jesus is exactly like Jesus was . I would that you would look at mathiew 24 , and find out Jesus said " for false christs shall appear and deceive mamy" " when they say to you " he is out in the desert,do not go. If they say he is in the inner chambers ( nextfkix in the inner chambers of homes.) do not go." Yet people say " you gotta see the chosen series . No , I gotta read my bible, so I'm not deceived into these types of deceptions.
@@wynamaarp7024 Though, obviously Johnathan isn't Jesus... It seems pretty clear that the chosen is aligned with the will of God. They never claimed that their show is the bible. It's a SHOW about the bible, that specifically wants to spread the word of God to all. To do God's will. It's a show... that God is using to lead people towards Him. To lead people towards His words within the scriptures. I know God used that show to lead me towards Him. You're becoming overly dramatic and judgemental over the smallest of things for a show. When it's obvious that it's showing the love of Christ, the mercy of Christ, the Faithfulness of christ, the humility of Christ, the humanity in Christ, and etc. Yeah... it has scenes that weren't specifically written in the scriptures, but they don't align with the world. They just dive deeper into jesus and His message. This is a show after all, so it has to have more meat to its bone... but the meat they have isn't wicked, but speaks wisdom that came from the Holy Spirit.
@@wynamaarp7024 Dallas is making this series on what he thinks Jesus was like, or how he thinks he should be presented to make a compelling TV show. It is very good that this show is bringing some people who don't know Jesus at all to have interest and want a relationship with him! Yes we should all study the Bible so we are not deceived like so many will be.
For those who don’t know: John the Baptist was on Herod’s hitlist for decrying his relationship with Herodias. They had an affair, and while they claimed to be married, Herodias was still legally married to her first husband Phillip while Herod had divorced his first wife to be with her. So their relationship was adultery in the eyes of God. Herodias knew that the Jews would throw a fit if that got out, so she set up this dance to have John killed.
A great reminder for disciples, followers in the body of Christ to consistently pray for our leaders, the enemy isn't joking. He's always seeking who to destroy...
Look, I really was ready to see how this one was done! And when I saw it I said, "Well, I don't blame you, King Herod for offering anything up to half your kingdom." The choreography was OUTSTANDING! This scene is the first scene where I said, "Okay, The Chosen IS NOT FOOLING AROUND!" Thank you to all that were involved in this scene! Completely different from the normal belly dance of previous renditions! Keep it up!
@@gouchscowl8601 Both can be true. It was am impressive gymnastics routine, and the degenerative King Herod can still be overcome with lust with his step daughter.
I thought the entire scene was well done. Herodias has a perfect conniving countenance. Herod is the perfect gullible drunk. The dance was perfectly performed. The exhausted breathing with crickets after the dance. The pregnant pause. The look on Herod’s face after her request. I think this was one of the best scenes from season four.

It was brilliant!! It was athletic and so well choreographed and perfectly executed (if you will).Much better than my fear it would a sensual pole dance lol
I forced myself to watch it twice , but I don’t want to watch it again. I’m up to 10 or more rewatches of all episodes except the fourth season, they’re all at 3 except this episode. The episode had me an emotional roller coaster! disgusted by Herod, furious about the whole situation, a weeping mess about John, and feeling happy and peaceful when he sees the lamb. I’m usually a stoic person when it comes to my emotions, but that really got me, and it was an uncomfortable feeling but at the same time it felt good to let it out…
That means the actor did a magnificent job. If an actor plays the part of a villain and you don't get repulsed by the character, that actor isn't worth their salt.
What makes it so difficult for me is knowing that it is true. It really happened. Jonathan Roumie said his role as Jesus, is officially over as Season 5 comes to a close. But, there are still 2 Seasons left, so since the Chosen is really focused on Jesus "chosen" followers, I am thinking the last 2 seasons is about them. Jesus' I2 disciples all died as martyrs, except for John, to whom Jesus gave Mary, His mother to live on as John's Emma. If you recall, the very first episode in Season 1, John is sitting with Mary in what appears to be their home. John is writing the Gospel of John (himself) for public publication so everyone who reads it will be told the Story of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. John is the only disciple not to be martyred. In his latter days, he is exiled to an island called Patmos, where he finished his Gospel Story. Some Christians believe that John did not die, that he was raptured to God as was Enoch from the Old Testament. I just hope they do not show the deaths if all of them. I only know how 1 of them died. (Simon) Peter was crucified, hanging upside down. It was his request to die that way because he said he was not worthy to die the way Jesus did.
Kudos to them for not making it sexual, because a lot of retellings of this Biblical story paint the young girl's dance for Herrod in that creepy context.
Actually it looked very much like a Shiva Tandava wedding dance from India, which always has sensual "overtones." It just doesn't read that way to the Western eye accustomed toward a different kind of raunch.
In my humble observation I found this dance scene more like a yoga-exercise demo compared to the 1961:King of Kings "the dance that killed John the Baptist" scene. In otherwords, the choreography in the 1961 version displayed a more somewhat realitic picture of the event that leading to the death of the baptizer.
Beautifully done dance, but it was definitely “toned down” for the sake of this show. I’m sure the real dance was way more, shall I say, “provocative!” 🥵
@@supercarlos03 Not necessarily. The dance looked very much like the Shiva Tandava wedding dance from India & that's about the same amount of clothing they wear for that dance, which is considered sensual.
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: I AM very much aware that the daughter DANCING had more body movement but they did have an outfit that you could see through and that set the LUST message!!! Over all very well done if you understood the REAL reason for the DANCE!!! Peace…
Exactly! Luke 13:32 “Go tell that fox I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal “ *in Herod and Herodias is the spirit of Jezebel, spiritual wickedness, perversion. So yes because herodias was a nasty vile woman , John spoke the truth so she used her own daughter against her father who was heavily intoxicated and only saw lust
Season four was absolutely fantastic and want to see more and more The actors and actresses are doing amazing way Literally I could say realistic stories But only one , I could say in the season four ,,,, there is no sub title Little upset me From next season five to eight expected with sub titles
I thought it was a great decision artistically to use a dance that was impressive (very impressive!) and athletic, but not very alluring. There's a harshness there that I think fits the situation. Good job!
This is actually the best version of salomes dance I've ever seen. The actress did a phenomenal job, and she clearly gave her all into this iconic scene.
I think the original dance could have been a lot more sensual than what was enacted here. The enactment had to be toned down, however, for general TV and media viewership.
Salome was 16 years old when she gave the king/her uncle that dance (he was too having an affair with her mother) Jhon the Baptist didn't like that because it was a sin of course and he let them know that so the king put him in prison. The king was seduced by the girl (which is creepy) and after the dance he told her she can ask for anything she wants... she asked her mother and for revenge she told her to ask for John's head on a gold or silver tray. The king liked Jhon but he gave his word in from of everybody so he's ego was stronger than the likeness he had for Jhon so he sent someone to kill him while he was on a cell. They all where evil and bad people, their day will come and they will pay for what they did🙏
This is Briar Nolet, one of the best female dancers i’ve ever seen, i want to make sure she gets the credit and recognition she deserves!! Incredible routine
I remember thinking Salome a pretty name and went by that name is Spanish class. And then realized why that is not a good name, and changed it to Santana from the soap opera, Santa Barbara.
Wait a minute... If this dance caused someone's head at that time I'm imagining what 🇬🇭Azonto would have caused if it existed back then. Almost every scene in The Chosen has me digging into the historical context of the scriptures. For example, when I heard them use the name 'Lilith,' I had to find out why they chose that name for the character, which sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, I have to investigate this (snakelike) dance because I have a hunch that the team didn’t randomly select the choreography for this scene. God bless the production team. I love The Chosen. ♥️♥️
Książka "The Chosen. 40 dni z Jezusem 2". Dzień 29, rozważanie o Herodzie Antypasie, który uległ wynaturzonemu żądaniu pasierbicy: Wyobraź sobie, co by się stało, gdyby Herod powiedział: "Dobry Boże, dziewczyno, czyś ty oszalała? Poproś o coś normalnego, na przykład o kucyka".
I just wanna say for all the complaints about a GYMNASTICS ROUTINE... what did yall want her twerking on a family show? I'm just saying... art is art period. That is why it is important to READ YOUR BIBLE. We see enough provocative dancing on TV and other places. Can we just enjoy the art and hold back on the disses? I don't know how Dallas and the Team do it cuz some of Y'all are oooo, hurtful.
When there is revelry and drunkenness, there is no perspective! It’s just catering to one’s lowest state of humanity - lust and sensual pleasure. What kind of entertainment was available in that era is questionable. The Chosen has done its best for entertainment and visual sensation, the point is clear! 👍
I'm curious if the death of JTB was foretold in Scripture. Looks like I have some digging to do. I am also impressed with the dancer, I apologize that I don't know her name. What a dance! So much work for her to execute it over and over for the scene.
Imam Hussain used to recite how they killed "Yahya" which you call "John the Baptist" and went back to doing their everyday activities as if nothing had ever happened. His story is similar to the story of John.
This dance didnt merely exhibit sexual suggestion but was actually demonically inspired in its animal sensuality... exposed feet and arms only - but with a display of a powerful female physique and one that shows dominace over the older feble King... A masterpiece
Historically an unmarried jewish princess would have been unlikely to be any older than fifteen, probably younger. The real story is far darker. Salome was a child trapped in the power machinations of a murderous, incestuous dynasty. John the Baptist was quite picky in what offended him, given the appalling behaviour of that royal cesspit of depravity!
The amount of people in this comment sedition complaining about things that don’t matter. We get it, you wish she was a literal stripper. That’s not the point of the dance or scene though. Take it to PH. The scene was amazing.
The snake-like choreography was really evident on the big screen. Brilliant to make it fit the snake theme that plagues Herod, Pilate, etc.
Ikr it was very much like the (modern day/Western influenced) Kundalini dancing I've seen & particularly the (more traditional/Eastern influenced) Shiva Tandava wedding dance (which has different choreography depending on the dancer), but yeah.

Not saying I endorse paganism, but wasn't that the point, to show the debauched & degraded lifestyle of Herod who was supposed to be a Jew?

Regardless of weather the dance is 'Perfectly Wrong' or not, the talented dance of Ash Kahn as Avner, is fabulously amazing! I personally was absolutely mesmerised by her performance. Ash Kahn as Avner encaptured me in her moment on screen 🕊
Did ya crack one off?
Congratulations Dallas!!!! Great performance!!!😮
As a dancer myself. I loved this dance. Omg. Great choreography and performed amazingly. ❤
She then went on to pioner break dancing at the Olympic games...
Doing better than the Australian lady
😂😂@@priscillajimenez27
She definitely deserves a gold medal, John.😊
@@TheChosenSeries not too hard in that given sport or so they say.
😂😂😂
Watching his daughter dance like that and acting like that…..
That actor may have nailed it, but what a sleaze!!!
that dance was definitely demonic
Love this performance especially seeing it in the big screen!!!!
Shalom my friend ✝️

@@Jeslyn77 Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ✝️🕊️
@@edward2448 you too!!! Hope you have a great Friday and fantastic weekend!!!
@@Jeslyn77 Shalom my friend. Have you ever been to the Borough Market in London.? I just saw a travel/ food show and the place looked Amazing 🤩. My favorite dish was the Bangers and Mash. I worked in a British pub in NYC. Shalom ✝️🕊️🐑
I like her serpentine movements, perfectly symbolizing the Satanic forces behind that dance.
Good catch! I noted that as well. It was very much like the Shiva Tandava dance which conjurs Kundalini (the serpent spirit).
@@kimartistNothing wrong with kundalini.
It was brilliant!! It was athletic and so well choreographed and perfectly executed (if you will).Much better than my fear it would a sensual pole dance lol
The only episode I didn't watch twice. I was disgusted by Herrod. However, John seeing the Lamb 🐑 and saying Thank You was quite moving. Shalom ✝️🕊️
I forced myself to watch it twice , but I don’t want to watch it again. I’m up to 10 or more rewatches of all episodes except the fourth season, they’re all at 3 except this episode. The episode had me an emotional roller coaster! disgusted by Herod, furious about the whole situation, a weeping mess about John, and feeling happy and peaceful when he sees the lamb. I’m usually a stoic person when it comes to my emotions, but that really got me, and it was an uncomfortable feeling but at the same time it felt good to let it out…
@@edward2448 I’ve watched this episode twice as well but this scene just hits hard every time
That means the actor did a magnificent job. If an actor plays the part of a villain and you don't get repulsed by the character, that actor isn't worth their salt.
What makes it so difficult for me is knowing that it is true. It really happened. Jonathan Roumie said his role as Jesus, is officially over as Season 5 comes to a close.
But, there are still 2 Seasons left, so since the Chosen is really focused on Jesus "chosen" followers, I am thinking the last 2 seasons is about them. Jesus' I2 disciples all died as martyrs, except for John, to whom Jesus gave Mary, His mother to live on as John's Emma. If you recall, the very first episode in Season 1, John is sitting with Mary in what appears to be their home. John is writing the Gospel of John (himself) for public publication so everyone who reads it will be told the Story of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
John is the only disciple not to be martyred. In his latter days, he is exiled to an island called Patmos, where he finished his Gospel Story. Some Christians believe that John did not die, that he was raptured to God as was Enoch from the Old Testament. I just hope they do not show the deaths if all of them. I only know how 1 of them died. (Simon) Peter was crucified, hanging upside down. It was his request to die that way because he said he was not worthy to die the way Jesus did.
@@FrankPCarpiagreed I cant wait to rewatch it so I can be disgusted mad and impressed again. Good stuff
Kudos to them for not making it sexual, because a lot of retellings of this Biblical story paint the young girl's dance for Herrod in that creepy context.
Actually it looked very much like a Shiva Tandava wedding dance from India, which always has sensual "overtones." It just doesn't read that way to the Western eye accustomed toward a different kind of raunch.
@@kimartistthat’s what I thought !
In my humble observation I found this dance scene more like a yoga-exercise demo compared to the 1961:King of Kings "the dance that killed John the Baptist" scene. In otherwords, the choreography in the 1961 version displayed a more somewhat realitic picture of the event that leading to the death of the baptizer.
Beautifully done dance, but it was definitely “toned down” for the sake of this show. I’m sure the real dance was way more, shall I say, “provocative!” 🥵
Please explain what this performance means. Does Harrod look at the girl dancing with lust?
@@britneyzzshadow1716yes and she was more than likely half naked 😮
@@supercarlos03 😮
I’ve never seen any particular evidence for this claim
@@supercarlos03 Not necessarily. The dance looked very much like the Shiva Tandava wedding dance from India & that's about the same amount of clothing they wear for that dance, which is considered sensual.
Great performance, but I like Dallas' version best. 😂
😂😂😂
Same 🤩😂🥰
That was a hoot😂
"For many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first."
Okay ,I will rewatch season 4 of the Chosen again cause I absolutely love it 😀 😍 ❤️
What an awesome scene!
The bloopers for this scene was good too 😁
So she asked for the execution of john?
She could have had anything. Damn.
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: I AM very much aware that the daughter DANCING had more body movement but they did have an outfit that you could see through and that set the LUST message!!! Over all very well done if you understood the REAL reason for the DANCE!!! Peace…
What
Exactly! Luke 13:32 “Go tell that fox I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal “ *in Herod and Herodias is the spirit of Jezebel, spiritual wickedness, perversion. So yes because herodias was a nasty vile woman , John spoke the truth so she used her own daughter against her father who was heavily intoxicated and only saw lust
I've read this in scripture and it's quite disturbing to me. Love the show!!!
True and do she not realized she asked her daughter to send another man to his death and that’s something she has to live with too…
@@janderson947 So true, good point 🤔
She did an amazing job dancing.
Better than what was seen at the Olympics!😂
A terrible family! But wonderful performances. Briar Nolet is an amazing dancer!
Belíssima coreografia, Belíssima dança👏
Please make the subtitles available in Portuguese (from Brazil), thank you🙏
The Come and See Foundation is in the process of creating subtitles in 600 languages for the series.
Season four was absolutely fantastic and want to see more and more
The actors and actresses are doing amazing way
Literally I could say realistic stories
But only one , I could say in the season four ,,,, there is no sub title
Little upset me
From next season five to eight expected with sub titles
I thought it was a great decision artistically to use a dance that was impressive (very impressive!) and athletic, but not very alluring. There's a harshness there that I think fits the situation. Good job!
All the acting and indeed ALL of it was amazing n the dancer??? 😮 W. O. W!!!
I thought it was extremely realistic.
I'd much rather half a kingdom than a head.
very very good. well made high quality production. I would make few adjustments to make the scene more convincing but it was still good.
Chosen can give us all of the outtakes of this beautiful dance because the scene is too short!
This is actually the best version of salomes dance I've ever seen. The actress did a phenomenal job, and she clearly gave her all into this iconic scene.
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
I think the original dance could have been a lot more sensual than what was enacted here. The enactment had to be toned down, however, for general TV and media viewership.
Specially with Dallas dancing behind the scene!
Ikr that was the best! 😝
Salome was 16 years old when she gave the king/her uncle that dance (he was too having an affair with her mother) Jhon the Baptist didn't like that because it was a sin of course and he let them know that so the king put him in prison. The king was seduced by the girl (which is creepy) and after the dance he told her she can ask for anything she wants... she asked her mother and for revenge she told her to ask for John's head on a gold or silver tray. The king liked Jhon but he gave his word in from of everybody so he's ego was stronger than the likeness he had for Jhon so he sent someone to kill him while he was on a cell. They all where evil and bad people, their day will come and they will pay for what they did🙏
Awesome!! Even though it was heartbreaking knowing what was coming next
Hi Sheri, how's your day going with you?
May the lord almighty have mercy upon us
His mercy endures forever. May we always please the king.
This is Briar Nolet, one of the best female dancers i’ve ever seen, i want to make sure she gets the credit and recognition she deserves!! Incredible routine
Agreed, Briar was amazing!
If this was the dance, this king not seen it all
Devil doing evil
I remember thinking Salome a pretty name and went by that name is Spanish class. And then realized why that is not a good name, and changed it to Santana from the soap opera, Santa Barbara.
I like how before John got beheaded he saw the light outside, and then a lamb
The choreography is brilliant!
4:00 that sounds like emperor palpitene from Star wars
Wait a minute... If this dance caused someone's head at that time I'm imagining what 🇬🇭Azonto would have caused if it existed back then.
Almost every scene in The Chosen has me digging into the historical context of the scriptures. For example, when I heard them use the name 'Lilith,' I had to find out why they chose that name for the character, which sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, I have to investigate this (snakelike) dance because I have a hunch that the team didn’t randomly select the choreography for this scene.
God bless the production team. I love The Chosen. ♥️♥️
So, John got his head cut off because of a gym floor routine? Wow...
😂😂
The grace in the dance.
Amen and thank you
There should not be any negativity written or spoken about THE CHOSEN!!!! It's all good!!!!
I think I need to watch this series 😊
We think you're right. 😊
The dance made and the scene made me feel tense and uneasy
Książka "The Chosen. 40 dni z Jezusem 2". Dzień 29, rozważanie o Herodzie Antypasie, który uległ wynaturzonemu żądaniu pasierbicy:
Wyobraź sobie, co by się stało, gdyby Herod powiedział: "Dobry Boże, dziewczyno, czyś ty oszalała? Poproś o coś normalnego, na przykład o kucyka".
I just wanna say for all the complaints about a GYMNASTICS ROUTINE... what did yall want her twerking on a family show? I'm just saying... art is art period. That is why it is important to READ YOUR BIBLE. We see enough provocative dancing on TV and other places. Can we just enjoy the art and hold back on the disses? I don't know how Dallas and the Team do it cuz some of Y'all are oooo, hurtful.
When there is revelry and drunkenness, there is no perspective! It’s just catering to one’s lowest state of humanity - lust and sensual pleasure. What kind of entertainment was available in that era is questionable. The Chosen has done its best for entertainment and visual sensation, the point is clear! 👍
That man moved so gracefully
I'm curious if the death of JTB was foretold in Scripture. Looks like I have some digging to do.
I am also impressed with the dancer, I apologize that I don't know her name. What a dance! So much work for her to execute it over and over for the scene.
Imam Hussain used to recite how they killed "Yahya" which you call "John the Baptist" and went back to doing their everyday activities as if nothing had ever happened. His story is similar to the story of John.
4:22 *Matthew 14:8*
Hmm
I was wondering why the dance was so important only to find out it was to seduce the king to approve of an execution. Brilliant cinema in my opinion
I am so glad they chose briar nollet for this role such a powerful dancer
very mild dance compared to what it would have been.
This dance didnt merely exhibit sexual suggestion but was actually demonically inspired in its animal sensuality... exposed feet and arms only - but with a display of a powerful female physique and one that shows dominace over the older feble King...
A masterpiece
That was great! Bravo to the actress and dancer. This was wonderful.
Can someone explain this for me? The dance killed John the Baptist?
Historically an unmarried jewish princess would have been unlikely to be any older than fifteen, probably younger. The real story is far darker. Salome was a child trapped in the power machinations of a murderous, incestuous dynasty. John the Baptist was quite picky in what offended him, given the appalling behaviour of that royal cesspit of depravity!
The amount of people in this comment sedition complaining about things that don’t matter. We get it, you wish she was a literal stripper. That’s not the point of the dance or scene though. Take it to PH. The scene was amazing.
