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.
这片子的选角搭配放以前简直难以想象，欧阳万成这种普通亚裔连脸能做RC电影男主。未来越来越多的亚裔开始有机会做好莱坞电影的主角，不管烂片好片，露脸机会多，才能逐渐消除偏见。
好喜欢圣诞节相关的电影，喜欢反亚裔刻板印象的一些情节～
就是Jimmy这个发型 令我难以接受 典型的圣诞节快餐电影 但是好真实 像剧中Josh这么善良体贴幽默的男人一般都不太好看
看了开头就能猜到结尾系列。有点俗但没那么俗。
单纯为了jimmy，最多加个nina，故事太扯了
不管怎样，意料之外永远是你应该不用担心的事，因为那也许才是你真正想要的
thanks for the representation

开头不错，竟也好看，从飞去lake落地开始就垮掉了

太俗了有点受不了，完全拍烂了的题材，要多少有多少
15分鐘後，凸- -凸。滿屏尷尬滴看完了。
演技挺好的，完全不觉得出戏，挺温情的一个故事。男主这设定其实挺容易让人反感的，但演员很加分，从他身上看到了这个角色的魅力和闪光点。他羞涩，自卑，敏感，却真诚，聪明，有想法，成功证明了外表不是最重要的。
看之前小侯問我最喜歡哪部聖誕電影，我說真愛至上。他說女主也是唉，我問那你最喜歡哪部？他說我喜歡的跟女主一樣：虎膽龍威，我說虎膽龍威也算聖誕電影？小侯笑著説男主也是這麼回答的。
欧阳 Jimmy ！ way to go!
电车男和大美女真的太违和了，看不下去。这男演员完全可以眼一些科幻题材的片子，为啥硬要演爆谷爱情片？看这种片的人（例如我）就是想看个帅哥美女上演烂俗情节，我做错了什么？如果是奈飞想讨好中国观众的话，就太错了

Best Christmas movie is kill bill

圣诞气氛营造得还不错，一边打破stereotype一边制造出更多的cliché. 看到结尾女主拿着纸板道歉只想说大可不必，love actually真是被碰大瓷了。
