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.
看不懂，但我大受震撼。不过我看到了稀疏的中国味。
第一次看慕尼黑协议的片子。一开始的盲目追随，到后来身边挚爱的人受到连累，才发现纳粹的可怕。张伯伦说他只是拿着手上的牌来去打，让我变成小丑只是很小的代价，如果真的违背了协议，那就让全世界都看看他到底是个什么样的人。
虽然有很多细节看不懂，但大体还是能够体会到那种无限轮回的虚无，绝望与毁灭
梦穿过罅隙蜉蝣在现实的触须之上。勇敢至极的想象力，仿佛一场奇观，意义在这个世界已经丧失了意义。何等的疯，何等的神。
很适合在喝醉的时候看。cult色调很舒适，爱了爱了
末日之上帝视角，当你是以撩拨别人的情绪为目的而达到利益收获得的时候，终究会走到尽头。我难以想像还有什么可以突破到什么样子?
一定要戴耳机看 音乐也太🆒了！
像和某这样的一神，肯定是大规模蛮族入侵和征服的结果，一神的背后是血流成河、杀人如麻，它们先是靠杀人来普及信仰，后来信仰本身就成了杀人的理由，一神是人类精神的怪胎，是这个世界的灾星。
无序中显现有序，丑恶中浮现美丽，一部十分疯狂且优秀的幻想之作
80/100。从《被遗忘的孩子》到《杀掉它，然后离开这个小镇》再到本片，无数导演都在向世界证明一件事情：动画片并非天真无邪的孩子们的专利，它也可以像特效大片那样带来给人以心灵冲击的视听奇观，它也可以像那些所谓的“禁片”那样传达出纯粹的脏、乱、差、丑、恶，它更可以触碰到大师的边界，在恍惚之间让观众领略到宇宙一瞬的震撼与无奈。 @2021-10-27 22:26:50

引用圣经，表达神罚现世的荒诞扭曲人性缺失，残暴和变态，对人类乃至后时代的黑暗绝望
说实话比较难欣赏。突破传统的视觉审美和黑色创世神话的结合还是很有新意的，但是感官确实也有些过于恶趣味了…
很不错的一部动画片，虽说我没看懂。地上派像人怪物下去探索下面的世界，然后就被抓了，被两个医生打开肚子挖出里面的东西，女医生把怪物宝宝带走给乌鸦BOSS，乌鸦BOSS将它弄出碎碎的东西，抛到会爆炸的地方，将其传播到其它星球，其它星球也有了生命。
疯神正如其名，不是神没有这样的能力造出这样的世界，不是疯狂不会造出这样的世界
如地狱般的场景却令人惊叹这也是人间的存在。
好险没在吃饭的时候看，太血腥太恶心了，中间一段掏内脏那里，胃里不舒服了，开始真不知道是动画，那老人脸做的太像了吧。不过内容不精彩，看完只能想到血腥画面。
很概念艺术性的动画，感觉是短片加长版，不适合搞这种长度，分段可能好些。
心智正常的政客，会想方设法阻止战争
被禁锢的巨人在做梦，带着炸弹的人向下走，满身鲜血的医生数着钱，工厂小人的内脏涂满了大地
