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.
结局挺美好的，但就是不知道两对同性恋，抚养一个娃，将来性取向会变得如何很难办了
印度已经可以排出这样接地气的LGBT电影了，话题之广，感情之起承转合，看出来是用心了。可能这样的场景目前只能出现在电影里。期待看到国内的类型电影，大家的生活可精彩着呢
客观3.3，感情分3.8星。弯男弯女假结婚的欢乐闹剧，在这个无奈的有开心也有争吵的婚姻罩壳下，收获了各自的爱情，被迫或主动出柜并艰难获得家人认同，最后还收养了一个孩子，简直是童话般美好。全片氛围轻松，很适合跟伴侣一起看，会让人觉得世界也许真的可以变得如此美好。
节奏不算好，但在印度这个题材真的勇敢，继上次的维权律师之后，印度又赢了一把。人家开始拍彩虹平权，我们在不让说就不存在。
氛围感很不错，是恐怖的，确实邪性，也确实有点晦气。不过我唯一的不满还是源自我对伪纪录片的不喜，晃镜头这事我是真的受不了，看着晕。。另外养父也太可怜了叭。。然后就是，我以前以为自己没有很密恐，看了以后觉得我还是挺密恐的。。。。
印度是一个教育超前经济的国家，感觉未来可期，很不错，接触到了lgbt题材而且还是喜剧结尾！
7.5/10 我同意友邻关于porn的说法 哈哈哈哈哈
为了营造氛围就用慢镜头和浪漫bgm真是大可不必。昨天还在戏里戏外第四季看到吐槽说女通讯录进展太快一天当三天使，今天就在这部电影里看到了，没多久就住一起了还说要一起领养小孩之类的....笑死
没想到印度都能拍这种片了 不过结局过于理想化了
天作孽，犹可恕；自作孽。不可活
各种俗套，囊括了出柜形婚领养等所有同志议题，唯一优点是演员，尤其两位女主，这么狗血的剧能演的这么自然，令人动容
虽然女性伴侣或许理想化
电影本身 我可能没法给出10分 但这是印度电影啊！！！印度都能拍出这么好的同婚题材电影，真的很难不给出10分。电影依旧有传统的歌舞元素，内容上没有忽视社会的种姓制度、男女不平等现象以及歧视的现状，虽然很理想化，但电影拍出来了就让人振奋！希望这类题材的电影越来越多，就算是乌托邦，我也愿意看！！🏳️🌈
很不错，至少很真诚，没有drama剧情，其中几个人物有一种呆萌的感觉，比如男主和男主他妈，不那么严肃却很温暖。那个女医生也确实是我们喜欢的类型
五星全部给此时此刻被北方同行衬托得格外耀眼的印度。7.5
没想到印度能拍出这样的电影，虽然细节瑕疵比较多，但总的来说不错。
“我多希望你对我说，’哪怕所有人都对你恶语相向，爸爸也站在你这边’ ”
感觉印度拍同性恋情都比拍异性恋情更大胆，最后没有狗血与和稀泥真的不错，看的过程中我一直以为他们最后会去做人工授精呢。
希望这个祝福是发自内心的，不是和解，也不是妥协，更没有无奈与同情
那才真是绝了
