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.
很老套但是场景设计很美，就是这对太姐妹了惹，磕不起来。
太老土以至于我一直在大喊救命，为了我最爱的两个卡司只能说辛苦我自己了
這一部電影是在講一個男子僞裝成女子的男友住進家裏，慶祝聖誕,不但被家人說服要做自己喜愛的的人,害他們不知道該怎麼辦才好呢？
就很无脑甜。and Nick is really a ten!
至少这部片选对了送给观众们的男二，有异性恋圣诞爱情片的味儿了😏
黑人小哥也太可以了，真的爱了，很棒，作为一个爱情喜剧片打发时间还是可以看看的
剧情基本就是随时能猜到下一步的片子，不差但是也没啥亮点。实在要说亮点的话，就是Jennifer Coolidge吧，仿佛在看破产姐妹，哈哈哈。
我不带头看得很快乐啊 但是为什么所有圣诞电影都在New Hampshire？
又好看又好笑的，而且还有我最喜欢的布兰妮。🥰🥰
合家欢，情节线都猜得到仍然看得开心，在ugly betty里就好喜欢男主
爆米花电影该有的样子都有了，就够了，还想要啥？圣诞节不就是要开开心心快快乐乐嘛，难道要哭哭啼啼不行？
Why do I waste my Christmas time on this shit?
Again, cheesy but I love it
戏是很难看没有错啦，就是那种你看完预告片基本等于看完全片，而且身为gay片然鹅两个人的gay达完全不搭你能信？但是urie是我第二喜欢的同志演员（第一是小狼），40岁跳小甜甜也毫不违和永远都是甜美的gossip girl！
好温暖的圣诞调电影～反正我很喜欢hhhhh
轻松欢乐，合家欢爆米花电影，不必太纠结剧情什么的，开开心心看个圣诞欢乐电影而已。
“Cute but not very realistic”, said by both of us
很轻松很甜很温暖的剧情（虽然剧情很老套）适合在圣诞节看
糟心的日子里需要更多这样的电影&剧集 (Luke call me
虽然俗套还是不错看呜呜呜😭就很适合圣诞的温暖开心电影
