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.
其实还可以，演的很好。但我真的受不了一会搞笑一会煽情。且煽情的刻意又尴尬。
此片也是流于表面，质感只为背景服务，感情却是廉价的
是部有趣的片子，但是感觉很“私人”，有共鸣的地方就很触动人，没共鸣的地方就会觉得有些无聊。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈笑死我了 这个前半部分真的好笑 还是很惊喜的
终于把美国电影学会AFI 2021年度十佳电影+特别奖（观影时间顺序：《健听女孩》《犬之力》《沙丘》《倒数时刻》《国王理查德》《贝尔法斯特》《灵魂乐之夏》《不要抬头》《玉面情魔》《西区故事》《甘草披萨》）全都看了，和2020年相比，虽然没有一部像《心灵奇旅》那般直接问鼎我年度最爱的作品，但整体的观感还是更胜一筹，而其中个人目前感觉最喜欢的应该是《健听女孩》。
25岁的女主迷茫彷徨。西恩潘饰演的大明星自我为中心的沉浸于昔日辉煌,库珀饰演的女明星情人更是一无是处,暴力疯狂拈花惹草还咸猪手。倒是15岁的小男孩心思纯净目标明确,就是搞钱哈哈哈，甚至对其它女孩动心,也完全不觉得渣啊,女主拒绝了他,尝试新恋情何错之有。相差10岁的姐弟恋,竟然不违和！
“我们都只是跑来跑去”孟克柔的话好适合这两个人关系。
喜欢电影里面的各种跑，不管是漫无目的的，还是跑向某人，有没有原因，都不重要。Alana 和 Gary 就像探索生活一般对待他们的情愫，可以破坏也可以重塑，但始终是断不了。
和原版比起来的话，就是魏成功长得好像原版的编剧啊！
玛丽有点出戏，结尾有点草率。看得出来致敬了很多电影。觉得表演的度有点过了，反倒是中间失意那段比较舒服。
能看出导演在挑逗那股安全线，制造某种天真烂漫又有点中二喜感的青春童话，但就是没用劲儿。这种题材他就拍不出个啥。
我也不知道为什么，开场他们只是一直走路聊天都让我觉得津津有味，几乎每一场戏都吸引人，每段表演背后的情感变化都能被理解，轻巧而饱满。
故事中的男主15岁，女主25岁，说纯真是因为他们之间连接吻都没有（片尾有一个吻，只是蜻蜓点水），有的只是精神上的心心相印。
片尾彩蛋演员和角色的相似经历让人有种恍然如梦的感觉。
PTA临了临了在20年代开头拍了个青春片，拉出一票熟面孔老朋友，结果比这堆人都更加分的反而是来自音乐组合Haim的女主，非常70年代的长相、气质和五官。
真是要在夏天夜空下看的电影，虽然标签是复古温情片，但复古做到如此不动声色和彻底是导演掌控能力的证明，方方面面都在线！在暖色中也有一些暗潮-政治/同性恋/种族/石油危机等等，幸好导演还是保持了一个让大家feel good的心。对于70年代LA这个时空太特指也导致豆瓣分数不高，毕竟这是更适合西方文艺大叔爽的片子。
片子不错，一看豆瓣评论区各种“racism”“sexism”瞎几把乱吠就知道必是好片
文化、经济、政治三种权力手势解构了青春爱情。
一个好玩的现象，很多打高分人都会提到PTA，好像和导演很熟。外国观众除去怀旧这一层，只能看到一个爱情故事，但它又太平淡了，平淡到不像一个故事，而是一个无力的结局。另外就是那几张熟脸没有微电影增色，反而让本就散漫的线索变得更破碎。
不过放映前放了整整五分钟的贴片广告我是真没想到的
