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.
从教父到雨中曲，从大镖客到周润发
前半段基本复刻了原版剧情，后半加入了不少致敬段和改编剧情。如果是原创剧本那就真的值得鼓掌了。有几个点，原版嘬刀复刻的不错，无实物吃西餐变成无实物突突，加的雨中曲一小段也挺好。
群众演员：
~多有意思的片子啊，魏翔个人毁容式、全方位式、全投入式演出，尤其“你敢耍我”那段，有被震撼到，好演员啊。。。
确实有一两场戏或是几个镜头好笑（魏翔被辞退、神父、推轮椅），整体还是太粗糙了，魏翔很努力成为了一名喜剧演员，可终究不是喜剧明星
色彩浓郁浮夸，和影视基地般的小镇实在配适。
害行。中国解构样式意大利黑帮电影文艺复兴么不是。疫情期间还有人愿意这么逗我乐，我已经很感激了，要啥自行车
大陆条件下，拍不了高山流水，就多整点这种呗
有笑有梗有迷影，但没有那种高级的东西，怎么说呢？比如《喜剧之王》悲剧的内核。
喜剧的内核是悲剧，悲剧的内核是人生；以喜衬悲，话剧性效果极佳
那些西部枪战片、雨中曲舞蹈的小彩蛋，在暂歇的笑声中，也有一点普通人造梦一般的茫远和感慨。
“成功只比未成功多坚持了一次”，魏翔演得好好啊！
嗯 再一次印证了普通人不要硬拗美女人设 会翻车
挺适合春节档，有【魔幻时刻】的蓝本在，想难看也不容易
没想到可以做到这么不落地，太厉害了！时隔一天，还能想到片子的不少细节和片段，还能笑出声来。这才是献给电影的一封情书吧！对action和cut永远保有敬畏心！
各种恶俗煽情拼贴。令人作呕的抠图特效。情节人物，真的是连班级出的小品水平都不如。继星爷之后，就再没有触碰心灵的喜剧了吗？

开头是笑了，后面很无聊。不知是剧本太老套，还是太舞台，假又没惊喜。失望/ 看完原版 发现很多看的时候莫名其妙的地方其实是原版的笑点，骗子身份变成导演，笑点失效了，还在硬演，可能是最大的笑点
非常一般。各方面质感都很一般。唯一亮点就是看男主在戏中戏里演一个不会演戏的演员。
