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.
🐶小日子渗透到我们南京大屠杀纪念馆了快恐怖恐怖退！ 退！ 退！
A new old play 非常不错，拍摄手法和画面都很棒，全剧四川话也让我感觉十分亲切。每一个转折点都是一首判词来揭晓，新又新。很久没看华语片了，很惊喜。唯一觉得不足的是，太长了。
新戏从来演旧事
一个自大而虚伪，一个奸诈而虚伪，一个勇敢而美丽
整部片子的亮点就是这次打斗从各个角度展示了一下水之呼吸基本都有什么招数，该燃的地方也十分燃，而且是一次性看完全部，感觉上会比较连贯会更爽，属于重温性质的片子吧。
3.女性电影是为了强调女性独立自主的权利和与男性相等的勇气、胆识。不是单纯地将所有恶扣在男性头上。长达四五年的真相追逐，面对封建体制的压迫，冒着丧命和家族蒙羞的危险，去保护妻子的尊严，Jean绝不是雄性主义的恶霸
***其实是艺术片 不能按照商业片（包含文艺片）的类型来看待
有些戏没必要演两遍。有些人演技不行，有些人口白不行。服装设计一般。重点全在metoo上。演员亦是制片人的片子。RS老了吗？整部戏最重要的都在后面，前面问题太多了。换句话说，应该是原著好? 还是建议去电影院一看，毕竟是metoo片！
虽说设定上只有日轮刀砍脖子才能杀鬼，但鬼既然干掉过很多鬼杀队员了，就没有收集一堆日轮刀为己所用吗？
@Anthology Film Archives 一代人有一代人的伤痕，the play goes on
有一些有意思的片段，但导演想表达得太多或者什么都不想表达，像是学生作业一样讨好老师以满足某一套对中国电影历史和文化的期待。有技巧和想法，但没有个性。
尽管电影讲的是中世纪的故事，但每一个细节几乎都能让人联想到一个对应的现代版本。尽管有些荒谬的的风俗习惯和社会秩序已经不在，但权力关系依旧带来剥削，自我意识过剩的男性们依然不断合理化自己的行为，在脑子里创造一个个说服了自己的充满虚伪与自恋的叙事。这样的人这样的叙事在社会活动中交流传播，一个群体中似乎就有了一个较为稳固的以此为依托的秩序来感染后续进入这个群体的个体，从而创造出一种群体内的结构性压迫。
肖像式调度和表演
为啥这种故弄玄虚的电影会被刷那么高的分呢？电影不是要娱乐大众的吗
但就从审美和美学的角度而言，叹为观止、惊为天人。
Chapter One - The truth according to Jean de Carrouges, Chapter Two - The truth according to Jean de Carrouges, Chapter Three - The truth according to The Lady Marguerite (The truth). 观影过程中联想到《角斗士》《勇敢的心》《权力的游戏》《罗生门》《怦然心动》《日本之耻》…… —— -玛格丽特，你为何这么做？-发生在我身上的事是错的。-勒格里那种男人随时都想侵占女人，而且一犯再犯。你以为你是谁？我儿子可能会死。-那是他的选择，不是我的。-你和我们的士兵在打仗时搞上的那些农妇没两样，她们有抱怨吗？-我不能保持沉默，我必须发声。-玛格丽特，你只会为我们家带来耻辱。-我说的是真相。-真相并不重要。…我也被强暴过。尽管我做出反抗，感到憎恶，我有去向有更重要的事要操心的丈夫哭诉吗？没有，我站起来，继续过日子。……
