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.
印度现实主义题材影片在题材震撼程度方面是越来越高，剧情叙述方面也更加庞杂，竟玩起了多重反转。美中不足是在影像语言和风格探索上始终原地踏步，甚至有些退步，不像韩影那样成熟多样。
当媒体不是传播真相而是制造舆论成为权利作恶的工具时，每一个推波助澜的平民都是权利的帮凶。幸运的是，印度平民手里还有选票，每一次的清醒都让他们更加成熟。
一股脑未打磨的半成品点子塞得倒满当，
前一小半会让人觉得是不是配不上这个片子的分数，就很流水账，中段以为是逼王出马的寻常桥段，拍着拍着就逐渐从理想主义抡铁锹的爽剧套路，慢慢走向精巧，这时才会发现导演编了一个大扣，增加的开放式结尾反而让这部片子上了一个台阶。有被导演秀到。对很多方面的讨论对于中国观众是比较能刺激到的。中国拍不出来是肯定的。
就能勾起魔幻大陆上的哑巴们连绵高潮。
后半段是跪着看完的。
乍看导演是让观众不要看表象，但导演全程都隐瞒着重要人物关系 因果关系在讲述，直到最后几分钟才一下放出全部关系 这种头重脚轻 刻意隐瞒重要线索情节到最后的方式 绝对上不了4星
没啥动作场面，科幻也只是背景，一个有点温暖的故事
看汤姆老爹一步步把机器人培养成才，就像把孩子教养成人一样让人感动，特别是最后机器人和狗子一起和谐生活的时候更让人感动，孤独又温馨的感动。片子的灾难情形设想让人震撼，又让人觉得苍凉孤苦，这种悲感并不是人类自己造成的，而是太阳造成的，虽然这样的设想让人心里些许安慰，但也让人慑怕于破坏了臭氧层的危机后果。
印度的电影风格自成一派，如果它没有那么多不必要的歌舞，它还是一部非常犀利的片子
最后的合影破防了但忍不住思考：一个有情感的机器人和狗谁应该享有更多priority？让有情感的机器人牺牲自己保护狗是不是一种不人道主义行为？
一切不过是政治游戏而已
前半程之冗余也让节奏崩作一盘稀泥，
1.议程设置是如何一步步遮蔽、修改真相的
鉴于当下好莱坞编剧导演集体大脑崩坏的现状，拍这种剧情简单舒缓温馨的影片是个不错的选择，不会过多暴露复杂剧本压力下编剧导演的无能，也不用顾忌太多电影外的因素，全片基本就一个人类演员，不用担心被指责没有女金刚没有黑人涉嫌骑士，能让人三心二意的把两个小时的电影看下去还有点儿小感动，不反智不喂屎，这已经知足了。
机器人陪伴末日人类，并埋葬人类的故事，还有一条狗，可以拍的更好，也许芬奇该问问杰夫：“要是我（人类）不在了，你有什么打算？”杰夫：“……（我水平不够编不出）”，多一些类似这样的探讨会让影片更深刻
好几个反转，真相、政治、法律、人心，谁代表正义？正义是否得到伸张？期待续集
几个反转来得质感不足，没有营造出让观众信服的氛围就反转了，极其缺乏震撼。
片头光感谢的名单就放了2分钟，注定了这是一部不简单的片子，自编自导自演，太敢拍了，政治、阶级的遮羞布统统撤掉。第一次160分钟的片子还嫌短了。
真相…
