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.
泳池五线谱我也大呼nb
"Keep writing, and meanwhile, be proud"
“用爱发电意难平”，创作大概率是这个世界上性价比最低的事情。没有所谓的一分耕耘一分收获。你以为创新是魅力四射的事情——但其实人们，或是说商业眼光，从来比你想象中要守旧传统。
这才是能淋漓呈现当下流媒优势的音像制品，尽管电影语法/结构性较弱，LMM还是为其注入了难得轻逸的律动感。两种艺术体裁的融合不止体现于即兴唱段，还有情绪和画面的巧妙对接（泳道幻化成的五线谱，经典的天台抒情段落，偌大体育场内孤独的钢琴）。喜欢用脱口秀做scene-switching point的创意，观众直到结尾才露面，是对叙事上自传式口吻的印证。很多细节固然还可以深挖，但维持在目前的水平业已令人动容。生命倒计时前的任性执着，恰到好处的鸡血和感伤。
7.5/10。很巧，一天看两部音乐、传记类。对比的话，一群会唱歌的演员形成的化学反应，压过了如果没有本人感人故事就会沦为普通过生平的记录。
林漫威老师咋还客串了个厨子lol 说的波多黎各语吗？？？？ （加菲演得很好诶…………他进步好多🥺 （冬天穿多点再去后门谈恋爱吧，，，，求求，，，不愿再代，，，，，，，，，，😇
开头的歌真是不错 但看到后边就开始乏味了 剧情的内核也是深深的第一世界人民的为赋新词强说愁 标准冲奥片 勉强给七分
故事有够碎碎念的，加菲演得也好卖力，最后资料视频加1星
用音乐具象化展现创作者的生活和想法，妙啊。音乐很好听，原型乔纳森的故事太动人了，在快餐店打工维持生活，创作出了音乐剧《吉屋出租》，却在这部作品在百老汇首演前去世，这部作品红了几十年，但乔纳森没有亲眼看到这一切。
挺有意思的音乐片，剪辑蛮厉害的，原型太可惜，这么早就过世了，稍微晚点，活到中年可能会留下更多佳作。
其实我先看了倒数时刻的音乐剧，然后完全没看进去…这个改编已经很强了，Sunday那首歌全是彩蛋。顺便赞同那句人人都爱Sondeheim（跑偏了。我最最最感动的应该是最后那段电话留言，真的是Sondheim自己录好了发给LMM的，哭了
更勿论90年代独有的那般复杂的社会环境和特殊的政治氛围。
谁都是曾经绚烂缤纷热情洋溢和这个世界碰撞燃烧着，但也会流于平淡失去光泽。
表演很好 曲子很好 主题也很好 遭不住实在水土不服 从舞台搬到镜头前不代表可以罔顾电影逻辑 林漫威别拍电影了还是
不会有人在意才华窒息与梦想坠地的声音，
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4
塑造了纽约氛围下的艺术殉道者，让底层的人们感同身受。一份食物，10块钱，一个订单，就能让他们开心很久。音乐与生活同样丰富，五味杂陈的感觉。
《斯通纳》中的melody——爱、认同、怜悯、志业、傲骨、信任与死亡——在剧中流淌。好听好看又好玩😄
