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.
三星半 看的过程中忍不住想起司机的那个堂吉诃德 可能在西班牙不管发生什么离谱事件都会让人觉得合理
什么子弹横飞西班牙海边的鬼故事哈哈哈哈？要不是凯奇叔叔这片早垮了。
我会一直喜欢看他演戏，就是这样的！
好的，那我去看看Paddington 2吧
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
加泰。西班牙的海滩也是很迷人的。
整部电影的卖点都在Cage的表演上，剧情就弱很多，但是不妨碍好看。
可以说是美国版喜剧之王吧。尼古拉斯凯奇自己调侃自己烂片之王，在欠债还清一身轻松之时，终于拿这些经历凑出一部自己的电影梗满满的作品集之作。奈何故事最大的败笔和脱节是强加进去的特工间谍绑架类内容，不过不用担心，关于这些电影里也说了这些会破坏故事，甚至两个人大吵一架，大概是告诉我们说，你看问题我都懂但没办法啊我的故事总得有个主线有个预告片爆点吧，你将就着看这些，其他情怀要素演技铺陈我都没欠你们的啊。喜剧之王里最脱节的也恰恰是卧底内容，可以说极其的相似，也都因为这一层身份，让故事得以有效收尾，毕竟真要是单纯拍两个人怎样制作一部电影顺带回溯过去，大部分人还是会觉得特别无聊吧。
一部讲述了两个坚强敏感的男人和他们之间不可思议的友情的故事。尽管有点闷。凯奇已经很久没拍过高于六分的片了，演自己挺有意思，片中还亲自吐槽了自己烂片之王的称号。哈维科波拉，还带上了凯奇的本名，还好他是好人，两位演员我都挺喜欢。
恭喜凯奇叔还完债可以拍自己想拍的电影了！拿自己开涮真是太拉好感了，不管真假，至少电影里立出的热爱电影的人设太可爱了。
Is that supposed to be me? It's... grotesque. I'll give you $20,000 for it.
凯奇的商业片要是都能有这水平的话显然是不用担心未来的。
其实这是一部帕丁顿熊2的超长预告片（doge）
Nicolas Cage 无疑是个伟大的演员！
里面有很多凯奇电影的梗，有的看出了点皮毛 还有所谓的为了吸引人加入绑架 枪战 追车 也是自嘲加自high吧
还是有一丝烂片的味道，个中元素不少但是不够入味。
本片乍一看可能只是編導為了滿足自己作為尼古拉斯凱奇粉絲的趣味而拍攝，有演員與臥底這種雙重身份交錯的耳熟能詳戲碼，也有還原尼古拉斯凱奇經典作品《變臉》里雙槍雙雄的場面，處處皆是彩蛋，皆是致敬。但真正的核心，並非老套的鹹魚翻身，而是一個焦慮的父親的遺憾。一個半小時的自嘲與胡鬧，終究不及最後一幕父女回家看電影時的動人，尼古拉斯凱奇演過無數癲狂和絕望的角色，這一次終於塑造了最接近於他內心童真的一個角色。
Why do you guys go CRAZY for Paddington 2???
笑死哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈我好爱这种 影迷电影 充满了我这种浅层影迷看了也会觉得好笑的inside joke
影片最大的反转就是这个戏中戏了吧，所以当已经猜出这个时候观感就下降了很多。但这个情怀我还是买帐的，而且影片足够有意思。
