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.
昨天又看了一遍，官摄太好了，依然热泪盈眶，so here we are, where the world has come together
虽然有点太完美以至于不真实，但足以激起无数人的憧憬，大千世界男男女女。
P.S.希望等自己七老八十的时候也能对世界抱有幻想啊～
Everything looks like happened suddenly. There are islanders and female pilots.
没有什么比真诚对待自己和别人更美好的事了，更没有什么比直面自己更勇敢的事了。
好像看现场啊。完全想不到的切入点，演员都演得非常棒。尤其女机长独唱那一段，太励志了。
wow，excellent!
演员太棒了
2021 #67。就算撇开剧情不看，演员的情绪和表演，现场的走位调度打光大家不停的脱衣服穿衣服更换口音扮演不同的角色，舞台中央竟然还是个大转盘，能这样完整流畅的表演下来已经值得8.5往上了，再加上完全可以走煽情路线但是却走了乐观阳光积极向上的路线让我对编剧更加敬佩。作为一个去过911 Memorial Museum的人，那两个深不见底的巨型方形水池还是很令人震撼的。唯一令人唏嘘的是看完这个去搜“911纽芬兰”想了解更多背后的故事，出来的第一条新闻是“白宫恩将仇报，宣布禁止美国口罩生产商3M公司向邻国加拿大和拉丁美洲国家出口医用口罩”。有的时候患难见真情，更多的时候是患难见人品。放在国与国之间是这样，人与人之间更是。
be anxious for nothing.
而这对于他们来说，又有什么所谓呢，最后的大尺度亦水到渠成。
至暗时刻下人们自发的互助太感人了，舞台装置只有桌子椅子和一个旋转的地板，演员们一人饰多角，更重要的是作为音乐剧每一段旋律都很好听，比汉密尔顿精彩太多，享受了一场淋漓尽致的演出
很圆滑，很有趣，群像整得相当好，节奏调度相当好。就是我对合家欢大团圆的这类型剧没啥感觉
这是一种倒退 人的进步源于对我的约束 性开放渣男应该最爱了 不用负责 可以到处泄欲 但对社会来说 打击是巨大的 看看现在的离婚率生育率吧 把这种当进步的人是非蠢既坏！
3.5，前面感覺像一場囈語，男主更像是女主內心投射的幻像。
220508，在这个疫情严峻的当下，在隔离的房间里，这部电影给了我太多的喜悦、感动与希冀。第一次看这样的百老汇音乐剧录像，真的是绝好的现代艺术啊，一方小小的舞台，简单的布景与道具，却生动地表现了这样一个饱满的故事，厉害厉害。
其实是百老汇原版舞台剧的实拍，但实在是精彩绝伦，再次遗憾错失参加原版舞台剧北京巡演的机会。从另一个角度看9.11事件给大众带来的影响，这个名叫纽芬兰的小岛向所有到来的客人张开双手拥抱他们，以互助和包容照顾他们，在这个特殊时刻让来自世界各地的人感受到爱和支持。无论你是谁，无论你来自哪里，这一刻大家相聚在一起，这一刻大家都是纽芬兰人。
多人分饰多角的形式除了经济效率外，在阐释故事的团结和谐主题也有一定的符号化作用。适合放在小屏幕上的百老汇，故事视觉化、篇幅也短。
喜欢到说不出话来 又好笑又好哭 最喜欢的就是女机长那幕了
人类一败涂地，但依旧有闪光。
