The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
没有吸引到我，感觉拍的太正了，剪辑也很令人厌烦，同样题材同种手法的美国电影太多了，没新意。
以911为背景，讲述发生紧急事件后“幸存者”的体验与故事。角色塑造的大多比较丰满，印象最深刻的是女机长的故事。整个舞美、故事情节、服化道都做的不错，能感受到每一位演员为这个音乐剧付出的努力。
海登领导的学院学生“温和派”和“一群磕药的嬉皮士”的“激进派”，再加上几个“热心的中产阶级”就能阻止越南战争？阻止越南战争继续下去的是“胡志明小道”和陈庚为首的顾问团。美国政府发现这是个无底洞，及时止损才撤走的。
全世界都在看！好一个“误打误撞”的借古讽今？！枪林弹雨般的密集台词与行云流水的叙事节奏相得益彰，很显然，这是编剧的胜利，以及好剧本的魔力！
剧本写得很紧凑，演技都不错，真实历史故事很精彩，每个人物的wikipedia page都精彩纷呈啊。Ramsey Clark代理了萨达姆的辩护案。
美式抓壮丁我惊了；论老白男和老黄男谁更恶心；小雀斑的角色和他在罗琳事件中如出一辙。民运真的很容易被利用。光明与黑暗的角逐永不会停息。
好喜欢！百老汇实力真牛
5.1 这部电影的台词直接可以出一本语录了。节奏很好，两个小时非常政治的电影却一点也不觉得让人着急。我本以为是一个悲壮的历史正剧，结果却是一出抓马，但是该讨论到的东西一点没有少，并且结尾真的很煽情！！！
迅速平行跳切像是纪实闪回，这不是虚构的，而是真实事件改编。很灯塔国，该禁，国内就别看这种当庭大声呵斥法官的所谓皿煮，游行示威、公开审判、自由辩论、程序正义的帝国主义阴谋片了， 反正你们又不是没少删禁。陪审团制度也许不是最好的，但总比各种被代表的好。8.2（原短评论已被删）
游行示威是公民的一种权利。游行示威是公民的一种权利。游行示威是公民的一种权利。
现今时代已远非60年代，每一起游行变成暴乱的背后究竟是谁策划的，谁可以利用“程序正义”光明正大地行使权力？司马昭之心路人皆知。
“全世界都在看”嬉皮的景观化连十个红色旅都救不回来，大家仍然是被看的，人质地活着，而且在此中感到振奋和自豪？作为美国左派，存在而无策略，终逃不出为国家家奴。美国滴个人主义者都不要的国家美国里左派为了好好做奴年年递交给法西斯奥斯卡奖的摇头丸电影只能自我感动和上当，一如人们总会被这样营养不良的烂货给蒙骗驯养着，搞搞这种最破烂的题材，听喘息。只是忘记，1886年干草市场暴乱才真正使芝加哥人民伟大，玩文化左派，尽数欺诈
女机长这段好感动🥲，连小动物也有人照料好有人文关怀哦
4.5 I think the institutions of our democracy are wonderful things
广场上，曾经也发生过一个惊心动魄的故事。不知道我们要用多少年才能把它拍出来。
姜还是老的辣
1860s和2010s没有任何区别。
通篇文戏居然一点不乏，以庭审马拉松再现事件真相，拍得真是收放自如。尽管法官戏码太过儿戏，观点表达也太过直白，但对于2020年这个特殊年份，拍得通俗些也好。
不如索金的前几部剧本但是依然有巧思，很应景。但正本清源，政治高压下或激进抗议或改变体制，最终或影响时代的走向，抑或成为时代的注脚，淹没在洪流中，仅剩名字。
这世界充满苦难与未知的恐惧，但是总有一些阳光与温暖，总有一些东西让我们感受到阳光与温暖，于是我们还能继续活着
