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.
看完电影后有一种不一样的感觉，我是从小看着尼古拉斯凯奇电影长大的。觉得他在现实中或者在电影中都很可怜。特别心疼他，老婆不理解他，女儿不理解他，整个社会都不理解他，都认为他是烂片之王，但我可不这么觉得，尼古拉斯凯奇!奥斯卡影帝！经典影片无数!💥💥💥💥💥
还挺喜欢俩人入戏那段的，墙边诀别很好笑；家庭线虽然笔墨最多，但…。网红电影好喜欢这种万花筒海报啊
加泰。西班牙的海滩也是很迷人的。
还是有一丝烂片的味道，个中元素不少但是不够入味。
本质上还是一部俗套的无脑动作片，凯奇演凯奇只是一个噱头
整部电影有一种凯奇很努力希望观众嗨起来，但是，我始终没办法嗨起来的观感体验。
剧情很花哨。要是认认真真拍一部凯奇的纪录片可能更好看
凯奇用凯奇的故事拍（演）了一部很凯奇的电影。
You're Nick FUKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG~Whoa! Cage!
剧本调皮，尼古拉斯凯奇的铁杆粉都在期待这么一部电影吧
榨干凯奇的脑残片。
巧妙地安排了戏中戏，差点变成又一个烂片，希望凯奇未来能有更好的戏接
仅有双重背叛那刻触及扮演
Paddington 2 is incredible.
剧本的锅，前提没给足，导致后面的翻都缺乏真正的力量只剩调笑了，若说是主打自我消费又远未尽兴；“她甚至以为亨弗莱鲍嘉是个色情片明星”
不愧是你，烂片王！看了一半后实在看不下去了，双男主就像两个小女生一样幼稚爱斗嘴，笑点很尬，主线剧情很傻，骗情怀的烂片
The Incredible Nick Cage！80后影迷永远的男神~赶紧焕发事业新春吧 🤩
Fucking absurd but also fucking awesome. 还是挺好看的，十分荒诞的同时却又让人看的津津有味。整部电影有着浓厚的网大质感，主线故事有一定创新不过核心还是挺套路的，更不用说有太多扯淡的细节。但是凯奇叔和帕斯卡这两个老男人的演技真的炸裂，言谈举止嬉笑怒骂之间真的全是戏，居然真的化腐朽为神奇。虽然各种扯淡，可是用心地方也很多，太多的梗让老影迷又想笑又想哭。那个男人终于真的又回来了，not that he went anywhere...
如果非要选几个对我个人而言影响较大的国外男演员，凯奇叔一定稳坐前三、甚至前二的位置；某些场面仿佛让我感觉回到了将近20年前老爸带着对电影一窍不通的我一块看《变脸》的时候。某种程度上是一部对凯奇本人和其过往经典作品致敬的“元电影”，说实话两年多前听闻本片刚立项的时候可没想到会选取这种角度拍，而以为会是很无趣的普通传记片(可能还是被这些年凯奇叔各种“王姐归来”的噱头给吓怕了吧233)。其实犯罪和动作戏部分还是略显老套的，也许是成本限制吧。总体来说，本片完成度在我个人心目中的确算是凯奇叔近年较高的作品了，跟另一部我比较喜欢的他近年难得的口碑还OK的作品《星之彩》有的一拼。四星整。
凯奇叔拍了这么多年烂片终于还完了欠债，然后就搞出来了这么一个一本正经地瞎胡闹的有趣片子。凯奇叔自己演自己，剧情也是自己套自己（虽然第三幕真的太弱了）——对自己经典电影的引用无比密集对自己拍烂片的自嘲就有多密集，结合起来就是一边看着拍腿狂笑一边又心酸这么多年的起起落落。今年四月能看到《妈的多重宇宙》和这部电影，真的是太让人满足了。
