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.
叙事上的克制非常难得，点到即止让它成为了今年难得的一部佳作，也提高了观众欣赏的门槛，毕竟，多少还是需要了解一下希腊这些年的社会背景更好。
我觉得还可以呀 虽然剧情前期铺垫很慢 后期逃命追杀看的人紧张冒汗 男主战斗力太强了 跟《信条》一模一样
一路逃命，悬疑倒是坚持到最后。不过这制作感觉也是个电视迷你剧的水平。希腊元素没有任何加分。
演员们真的演得都蛮好的，阵容挺好，还有坂本龙一，但是就是不知道为了个啥…
2021.08.13(五)~14(六)看。
好莱坞编剧真心越来越垃圾。现在已经无所谓到从几层楼跳下精准砸中汽车并且毫发无伤爬起来继续打人的程度了。
什么都想表现、各种政治正确~ 最后搅和成一锅粥
讲故事当然你想怎么讲就怎么讲，但是你这么讲的话，那我只能说你是个bad storyteller
有亮点，但细节逻辑有些不忍直视。而且最后我个人觉得仓促。
居然挺好看的，不过女主角太早领饭盒了，可惜？黑人男主还是倒霉鬼的形象。
6.2的评分偏低了，整部影片非常自然，自然并流露出扣人心弦的紧迫感。而且没有此类影片的寻常套路，很难得。将此片当成动作片或英雄主义片看的可以劝退了。
剧情线索之前的串联过于勉强了，强行把各种元素柔和到一起，背景氛围渲染倒是还行，刚出虎口又入狼穴还真是可怕
平凡之中的伟大，不是精心策划的剧本，却依旧抓人。
在一个网站“动作片”分类中随便选中了这个，前面看了十来分钟都没看到任何动作元素，更像是爱情文艺片，退出播放后认真看了介绍才知道高潮即将开始。动作片肯定算不上，但是悬疑片还是毫无疑问的，尤其是男主深处穷乡僻壤语言几乎是完全不通的情况下被人追杀，不由得不让你跟主角一起懵逼，为什么他会被追杀？挺不错的
刚开始男主小黑没啥眼缘，不太喜欢。越大后面越觉得挺厉害，也挺可悲，可怜。一个普通人遭遇不幸事故，还要面对要把自己除掉的集体和组织，真的是够倒霉，够可怜。但是一个普通人面对这样的境遇，潜力也是挺大的，但绝不是主动去做，纯粹被逼出来的。不知道小黑以后要如何面对这样的政府，这样的祖国。
美式网大，男主poker face，吃不了演戏这碗饭
全片快进。。差点没睡着。智商被反复摩擦，导演，我与你无冤无仇
2男主就不能找件衣服掩盖下吗？
这部电影分为两部分。到大使馆之前：冷峻追逐，逻辑缜密；到大使馆之后：放飞自我，变身战狼。
本片虽有不合理的地方，但是有力啊，拍得真实，痛苦，孤独无助，但是又有力。
