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.
奢华的西装如何包裹腐坏的躯体，咖啡的油脂怎能洗净污秽的味道，崭新的纸币在眼前发出恶魔的邀请，生锈的口哨在心里生出钢铁的根茎。电脑把数据精确到分毫，真相却始终难以被度量，爱是落在脸上的巴掌，更是穿在身上的信仰。正义尚存不仅是因为有人仰望星空，亦需要有人敢于凝视深渊。
侧重点的分量不足，配角的功能也未尽其用，如父如子的回忆录变成了流水账的自传电影。George Clooney的导演水平实在不及他的演员天分。 * 演而优则导的鸡肋片成灾，比美国自传回忆录的泛滥更严重。
电影里有句话很认同：警察要始终立身于警戒线上方，黑与白，站哪一边也不行，只要市民们支持我们的工作，我们始终都能站在灰色地带上方，当然，稍有不慎，人们会把我们纳入黑的那一方，这就是警察。游走在河边的人，把握不好这个度，那就是“唯独不要当警察”！
竟然还挺喜欢的……小男孩对着广播说家常，与父亲对话；查理舅舅说的男人应该什么样；男人应该拥有什么；最后的车……还真是挺细腻。虽然不成功，但每个人都在按部就班的生活，乐呵呵的过每一天……就特别温馨。
温暖又有质感的回忆录电影，成长是永恒不变的主题。
大本的那辆车什么牌子啊？好酷！
Okay… all I can say is thank god for not allocating me a ma like that… and fuck prestigious college 🖕️ 这电影导得就很克鲁尼，就是说蛮平淡的，靠大本勉强加了一星🙄️
感覺小崔挑電影還蠻喜歡這種manly角色的，可能不能在挑劇本上努努力啊……浪費了好演技，光耍帥了，採訪裡說拍了15min的衛生間打鬥戲，完全沒感覺出精彩來，根本就是弱智/菜雞互啄嘛！！哭了
话说回来，有大本这样又帅又酷的舅舅，怎么养了这么个小舔狗？
信息量负荷，加上看的港台繁体字幕，节奏太快了。故事内核其实也有诸多影视作品呈现了，并不新鲜，甚至有些俗套，比如“黑吃黑”的反转设定，又如个体力量难以与体制系统抗衡，于是你有一条路径——成为更“黑”的人，懂得善于利用“规则”，来实现内心善良与正义，哪怕它是被以暴力、刻薄和不太近人情方式，呈现出来。老警察“以旧带新”，帮助有棱角的年轻警察，如何学会手段，以成为系统里既能保持清浊一面，又会利用资源来实现个体理想抱负。近几年韩国影视创作一个大的风向改变是——之前韩国影片，着重呈现个体与体制的抗衡，现在则是如何学会共生，又能坚持一些带有理想主义色彩的正义面向。PS: 每个人物都几乎有条小支线; 而双男主组合，任务线也不止一个。正反面人物角色众多，人名开始没跟上，于是“投机取巧”，只记每个角色名的首字。
从此温柔叔叔/爸爸又有了代餐，本真的是，多拍拍这些不挺好的嘛～
自开篇即沦为了一部“沙发”片，不用担心错过任何所谓的细节，像是可有可无的甚至是因严重内卷而出现在电影工厂里的炒冷饭...btw，片中“母舅文化”的再现是相对比较值得思考的，情感的表现也相对克制。
就觉得很温馨很舒服 在一个零下三十度的周末 连光影都觉得温热。
有些时候略显冗余，但是Uncle Charlie被描绘的太美好了，我真是暗戳戳给暖到了！最后JR开车那段好自由，这一刻他就是作家。
how to be a man 好棒的片子 温柔温情温馨
很平淡，平淡得如同一篇流水账。
男主和舅舅没啥化学反应，整体就是不知道重点你要讲什么。
大本的表演算是让磨出来了，这次真的值得一个奥斯卡男配提名
平淡到乏味 东一榔头西一棒槌 什么都讲了一点 但什么都没讲
非常美国。。今年在美国体验了很local的生活。真的就是酒吧，买车，各种人之间复杂的关系，感情。如果主角是女的而且没去到yale，我感觉很像我的生活了。。😂
