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.
悠长的音乐，广阔的外景，舒缓的节奏，传统的西部片。
西部片中的爽片，全员男人，枪战非常刺激，扣人心弦，90min短小精悍的片子真的没看过瘾，尤其是比利小子的死亡，悬疑十足，到底该相信谁？又或者他当时犹豫救人时在想什么呢？“我活在这个世界上已经是恩赐，我本来已经不属于这个世界”……很喜欢
就是疑问这伙人手臂上标志啥意思，为什么最后那个人暴露了之后要啥老亨利？什么仇什么怨
值得一看！江湖已远，但你大爷永远是你大爷！不要轻视你身边的每一个大爷。
西部片，西方的武侠电影，本质和我们的武侠电影都是一致的：隐姓埋名的武林高手，在面临外力胁迫时，忍无可忍，打破潜伏，挺身而出。
警官反派演技不够好，取子弹那块儿很明显。基于真实历史人物的改编，其实更像是如果比利小子活到了晚年会是怎样。现在老年版扮猪吃老虎类型的片子也越来越多了。西部片风格还是自己喜欢的。6.8
故事虽然老套，还是值得一看。
男人的咆哮，生死予夺的枪声。弱肉强食的丛林法则。
这是一部节奏很慢的电影，不同于以往的西部电影刻画牛仔精神，快马快枪的感觉。本片情绪是逐渐进阶的过程，所有的张力最终凝结于亨利拔枪的一瞬。片中人物不多，但是各有故事，也阐释了在这片法外之地，以暴制暴的丛林法则！
[视]微血。比利小子后传，小场面，场景单一
拓荒精神下的孤胆英雄，有些科恩兄弟《大地惊雷》的影子。事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。想起戈达尔说的那句：一部电影只需要一步枪和女孩就够了。我也超想拍酷女孩枪手的故事。
放下戒心给陌生人松绑，在敌人尸体前丢下自己的枪，他已经不是比利小子了……在他有了妻儿牵绊之后，就已经不是那个无所畏惧的独行侠了，倒在农舍里的，只是一个会用枪的农夫，英雄迟暮，夕阳落山，并不复杂的剧情让人唏嘘，没有花瓶美女的西部片着实硬朗
潮湿的泥土，肮脏的猪圈，衬衫发黄，菜汤易冷。就是这么old school。
很简单的一个故事，但是完成度非常高。最后悲剧结尾，情感渲染也很到位。
给满分了，非常喜欢西部片，一看开头就知道结尾，但是这个片子还是非常让人惊喜，不输经典，西部片里程上，又一个让人不的不提的一部片子，非常喜欢
每个男人都曾经是男孩，希望每个男孩都能变成男人。
少年去流浪，老爹先埋葬。血在你身趟，世界不一样。
我要是做混蛋，就做纯粹的那种。因为，首先，我是个纯粹的人。
结局在有点意外不过也在预料之中，老炮儿这一生活到现在还有个儿子，已经很满足了！！！
就是杰森斯坦森电影常用的隐退大佬扮猪吃老虎的庸俗套路嘛，搞个小孩子挑逗观众情绪，结局大反转，这些手法都玩烂了，换张皮分就能高那么多。看斯坦森打架不比看这糟老头打手枪强？
