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.
剧情真的……就很老套…中岛老师演技进步好多 老套但哭 说的是我 给老师多加1.5星
看了三天才看完，有一点点无聊，大致剧情都能猜到，像最后在房间里一定会看到那顶帽子...前面爱情线还挺甜的，得病后就没啥意思了，倒是亲情线更让人感动。
后一个小时，总觉得电影情节发展节奏把握的不是很好，女主在衰老的渐变过程中遇到的事的情感变化表现的不是很明显（也许是因为没有露脸缘故吧），反倒是哥哥和嫂子给我的观感非常好，人物立起来了。
认真看了第二次，两位的演技不多说，但是恋爱的部分真的对我触动很深，如果这一辈子让我遇到这样的一个人，就算马上死掉了，也会有人在每个春天都想起我，我也觉得死而无憾了。
生老病死的题材都会狠狠心痛😭😭（kenty老师演技有在提升
可能我没什么好恶标准吧，凭着自己感觉打分，小朋友才分好坏。

最后，喜欢卷毛ty！！！好狗勾啊！！！一星给ty的发型的•᷄ࡇ•᷅
真的不算好看！！好平淡啊！但是kenty中间咆哮那里。真的可以！！！加油接点好剧本啊啊啊啊啊啊啊中岛老师！！！哭戏也很好
真的老套且无聊，但是描写女主长期住院的心理那节，还是让我受到了一点点触动
日本文化的特色，看来看去都是虚伪。
很“韩剧”的剧情，认知了早衰症，Mr.Children的主题曲保持水准。
见到了但没认出来，扎心又安慰，没有刺破美好的记忆，也算是体面。

中岛老师发生甚么事了 松本穗香的演技怎么会这样啊………..
昨天翻译完中岛老师的访谈，想着还是看看这部吧。结果还是想像中的老套，但不妨碍欣赏他的颜ww希望中岛老师可以有越来越多的电影工作，能参加奥斯卡颁奖礼走红毯讲出究極の天国言葉「セクシーサンキュー」
完成度不错 自己本来很不擅长看这种死人纯爱 可能就是因为见不得这种 我真的哭得好惨 谢谢各位在这个时间带给我这样一份礼物
明明知道是死人纯爱套路，但这个季节就是想看下去。
