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.
咋这个日本政府恁坏，还能让日本穷人饿死的啊
一个沉重的主题，却拍得如此轻微，浪费了好演员啊。
没看过音乐剧 觉得电影节奏是有点问题 起伏不够 故事还是很不错的 be self 真的很难 看了Dolby最后一场 还挺想二刷的 但是没有dolby了😢
剧本还是很细腻的 因为原版是音乐剧 音乐盒舞台比电影版要精彩很多 本片虽然有很强大的配角卡斯 歌唱的部分却没有很强的代入感 电影版应有的镜头语言和调度也是本片比较欠缺的方面 当作半个宣传片来看也可能是更好的定位
我觉得电影还行啊，不知道评论为什么会这么苛刻，我觉得歌比我今年看过的歌舞片里的歌都好听，Ben Platt演得也挺好，Amandla Stenberg的角色也让人眼前一亮，更能让我这种“程度”的人感到认同。
很骨感的现实问题，在哪里都是，但有什么比生命更重要呢？阿部宽、佐藤健和清原果耶三个人的戏份比较平均，所以整体结构比较散，叙事结构还是比较棒的时间线来回穿插相辅相成。清原果耶演技爆炸，笑颜无敌。
我们都希望自己能有尊严地死去。
太惨了！东大地震真的改变了太多太多，取景仙台让人不禁想到牛哥😭太不容易了
原来低保户的贫富差距哪里都有呀，想起了很早的一个梗开着车去领低保
全片三分吧，题材加一分。从地震出发，想触及生活保障下的普通人，但感觉没有聊得多深刻。反转也没有多让人意外，只是有困难却还小心翼翼地怕给别人添麻烦真的很让人心疼…让人想到了上海的老人们，善良也变成了他们的弱点
Ben真的不必坚持演，哪怕说没他（爹）可能也不够资金影视化……摩尔AA简直太浪费！为Kaityln宝藏少女加一星
整体气氛过于阴郁，社会派属性太强，果然一直没看原著是正确的
这个世界并不是无药可救，消除贫困并不是一句简简单单的口号，而是更多人付出的努力和坚定生活的信念。一点点畏惧和退缩都会带来不幸，我们更要彼此扶持，相互帮助。
瑛太微表情真的很多，这角色真的觉得他死了也活该。
果耶妹妹凌厉、恨意燃烧的眼神确实很有力！
值得继续咀嚼深思
情节相对俗套，其实一半的时候已经猜出真正凶手是看似柔弱的女主，日本探案的片子这种套路很多，树一个明显的反派，然后发现真正凶手是他身边的“绵羊”，从情节上看，本片最多2.5星，拍摄手法也相对老套，女主演技太青涩，最后自杀太假，让人喷饭。中国不会有这种事，各种动机让人摸不着头脑，但从日本社会的角度又有它的合理性。
意外得改编得还不错，原作歌曲删减了不少，不过在剧情方面有所弥补，相较音乐剧(尤其是下半场)顺畅了很多，结尾部分尤其。再次在剧院听到You Will Be Found还是非常地感动，一下子把我带回到多年前在宽街看DEH的夏天。有这份感动加成，对于电影也多爱了几分。
音乐与画面色调都极其克制，压得有些透不过气，从福岛地震引出的本国社会福利问题让人唏嘘不已。原来霓虹也有饿死的穷人，我本来以为只有2202的SH。佐藤每次有大动作，我就以为要飞天御剑流了。
纯纯的社会派，几乎没有推理和悬念。也没有特别触动我的鸡汤，所以……不合口味，仅此而已。
