回复 :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.
回复 :燕山君即位為帝，一心要追封被先王廢黜賜死的母后尹妃，但受百官阻撓而作罷。無法恢復尹妃的身份，讓燕山君感到日夜被母親的冤魂纏繞，因而變得異常暴躁，荒廢政事。申相玉對於《燕山君》被西方評為「韓國的《哈姆雷特》」，顯得不以為然，而且對於當年為了趕及新年檔期上映，只能用兩個月倉促拍竣一部歷史鉅片，極為不滿。連同翌年的續集《燕山暴君》(1962)，他曾揚言希望把兩部影片的菲林底片都燒毀。儘管如此，《燕山君》在當年還是叫好叫座，獲頒第一屆大鐘獎(1962)的最佳電影。
