Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
只有莫名的作
黑白宿怨深，唯有血洗冤。
看了一半，烂到对标我国杨幂和李易峰的怦然星动
一群大咖拿了个网文的剧本，工业流水线精良制作，却还是拍了个寂寞，无趣的爆米花
这一版政治正确浓度太高，死道友不死贫道。种族议题味儿太冲，不行。
导演夹带私货，而且剧情也不是很出彩，就这样吧
剧中曲个人只喜欢『on my way』和最后的ed『Nobody's watching』。
rarbg，环球影业出品，洛佩兹一把年纪了还在演这种老套的歌舞爱情片，而且最主要的是她和欧文威尔逊这个一把年纪的谐星一点都不搭好吗，搞不懂为啥现在好莱坞喜欢安排这种反差情侣，或许因为反差萌？
乔丹皮尔带领大家写就了一篇又一篇《讨白贼檄文》。
for the music and visual presentation … and the saved Asian girl
音乐很棒加一星，一开始的剧情还是挺新颖的，虽然后面就老套了
用电影作为媒介来宣传黑命贵我没意见，但在此之前能不能先把故事讲通顺？千万不要学法国电影理念超前故事划水...
就，隔段时间，总要出来几部“这明星为啥要接这电影”的片子，这句对Jlo和Owen均适用
53岁的JLO二头肌和腹肌秒杀绝大部分同龄男人。每隔一段时间人们总需要一部这样的现代都市童话。
最后的20分钟看完...只能吐一句这是什么烂结尾
可以老套但不能无聊，爱情喜剧里没有苏感的男主就像是没有灵魂，诺丁山和假结婚比这好嗑也有意思多了
他们俩是如何做到如此典型的霸总和娇妻的？！男主简直是霸总的那朵小白花本花
本片还有许多关于米国种族问题的隐喻，稍微留意和动点脑子就能发现，也难怪本片在米国广受影评人好评。
JL状态不错，完全架空合理性的一部爆米花🍿电影
黑人主创的恐怖片，看来就是要一条道走到黑了……在影片片头，环球和米高梅的logo以镜像的形式出来的时候，我大概就猜到摄影呈现模式了。本片的主角设定可是黑人的高精英阶层，既然黑人的精英阶层都认为种族问题已经无法解决，也就孕育出这种影片了。或许种族问题本就无法解决，就像傻强说的“出来混，不就是你爆他，要不他爆你咯！”
