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.
结局基本能猜到，但还是震惊于影片的结束语，有些人，一出生就在地狱……
因为印象更加深刻
番茄电影YYDS！无言，现实永远不可能有这样的过程的结果，女性总理、内疚的警察、为了强奸法律不够有力的游行、为“罪犯”慷慨激昂的统治者、法律终于被纠正的结果…你得到的只能是他们竭力掩盖，指鹿为马，邪恶从未被得到纠正，受害者被捂嘴，围观者逐渐散去因为外部事件继续开始着“厉害了我的锅”。明天依旧是个美好的明天..
最后的拥抱，你我都回到了那一天，回到一切都美好的时候。
非常工整！结构上，节奏上，角色上，表演上！这是我桑的最后一部剧情电影了，要珍惜啊！！
天呐，太难过了！开头只知道奈娜是个很温柔的幼儿园老师，她在休息了三周后，回到幼儿园———绑架了16个孩子，这是为什么呢？在抽丝剥茧后才知道，印度每16分钟就有一个妇女被强奸。更令人震惊的是rapist近在眼前，总理和奈娜的会谈，奈娜只想帮助更多无助的、没有法律保护的女性。
Balling my eyes out… Heads off to all mother figures
开头蛮好，中后段节奏有点拖沓，原来AirPods轻点两下是挂电话，为什么每次给女主生气的特写都要由远到近突然那么拉一下，实在让人出戏~
印度所需要的觉醒，远远不止一个星期四。
以看似支离破碎的时间线穿插，逐步道出争相，桑德拉这回全程落魄，扮演负罪之人，被世人所不理解，甚至谩骂殴打，也调侃体制笑话，悲叹命运颠沛，简单的故事让导演的手法烘焙的更有看点，曲折乃至深刻，但本身文本回转欠缺，惊喜度大打折扣，只凭一己之力演技支撑，复仇那条线本来也很鸡勒，线里的出轨段落更狗血，总归，一切一切的一切，只为让血缘关系的重新交错，跋山涉水的努力靠近，只为结尾那一次轻轻的拥抱，熟悉又陌生，疏离又亲切，模糊的记忆瞬时清晰可见，牵盼的人就在一线之间，对角色最好不过的关照和慰藉，难能可贵的是，如此克制却又如此动人。★★★
【剧情】平平无奇女幼师突然绑架班上16名学生，然后要求高额奖金和总理接见，原因层层递进，最后交代了一个最可怕的真相
虽然但是 就真的完全想到了《三年A班》啊 艺术创作真的太好用别人的创意了 😭
这简直是泯灭人性
一开始就知道不会出事的悬疑片，在一个区域内绕了很久，然后突然转向到印度社会议题。一星半的加成给这个社会议题，拍的在及格线以上，总要去发声，即使微如游丝，也好过一声叹息。
还看得下去，就一直想知道女主所求是什么，知道了也就索然无味了。
绑架、要赎金、对话警察与总理，都是次要目的，是在想清楚自己不得不犯罪后，顺手做的、能多做大一点都是赚到的事情。
不知道除了制造噪音，还有什么方式能让那些装聋作哑的人，去听听身边的哭声，印度尚在斗争，我们不能输啊
最后的结语真的令人心寒。
也正是因此
韩片一般黑暗到让人感到绝望，而印度片却总是让人感觉好像还有点希望……
