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.
亨利的老婆一定非常美丽，才能生出这么漂亮的孩子。虽然亨利很厉害，但是孩子也没有好好教育一下，不知道他之后能不能生存下去。
西部武侠片。
我居然……被這種……如此俗套的故事……感動了……
吃惯了添加剂的新人类，突然间吃朴素的食物可能不习惯，所以他们要掀桌子……
永远不要惹一个真正的杀手，即使枭雄迟暮。如同克林特伊斯特伍德的《不可饶恕》，当挤压的一切最终爆发的那一刻，情节也被推到了高潮，最后的反转颇为亮眼，随之亨利的死也是对其的自我救赎，很棒的作品。
1.主角不就是严肃版不话痨狂傲不羁的唱着歌谣的巴斯特2.亨利.麦卡蒂就是比利小子的原名3.西部片味道正，配乐好。
每當西部片中的少年變成了牛仔，男孩變成了男人，也就意味著可以結束了。簡單的故事無法抵銷對西部片的熾熱情懷。沒有女主但有女人。
其实他不应该相信别人，不应该被动，然而他住下来后，就已经选择了相信，选择了被动，这是宿命……
不废话，不矫情，不拖泥带水，就是干，太爽了
和《小人物》的剧情和人设高度相似，身怀绝技的老头，不知天高地厚的儿子，倒霉的闯入者
作为一个老江湖，不会这么单纯的善良和轻信别人吧……
又一部细腻、丰满、深沉、张力十足的西部片。前面压节奏徐徐展开，各种细节铺垫、营造出内敛而愈趋紧张的氛围，几乎没有配乐却难掩紧张不安、蓄满了“山雨欲来风满楼”之势。最后对决干净利落，怜子之情自然流露，揭示老亨利的真实身份的同时给片子增添了些许温情与悲壮色彩。近期难得的佳片。
非常现代的西部片拍法，那种现代社会对老西部的迷之憧憬挥散不去，反应到电影里最具象化的表现就是儿子和父亲的矛盾冲突了。不过拍法虽然是现代西部，但依旧没有创新，甚至连构图都和近几年的西部片无差。比利小子的梗玩到现在。
好想看老亨利前传，或拿了一大笔钱的小亨利后传
一般传闻他21岁时在新墨西哥Summer Fort被Garret警探射杀，这个片中Curry也讲到了。
当代电影太需要回归这种朴实无华风了，哪怕有剧情瑕疵，它也是个正经电影啊！
开头我就认出了警长就是刀锋战士里那个吸血鬼，还这么狠，这丫的没救了
老亨利到底是为了钱还是为了救人？这个问题一直困扰着我
开篇像西部广袤风光的静美油画，陡转后变血暴枪战……从颜值推断：去世的孩子妈应该是超级大美女，间接证明老亨利年轻时有多么传奇。
这个西部片好看。 喜欢这个儿子。好勇。不喜欢无辜人员的死扣一星。
