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.
72/100 #Locarno2021# 人如蝼蚁、蛆虫，我们能看到阶级表达和大与小的对比，也能辨认出核战隐喻，新生婴儿穿行于后末日废土之中。在片中望远镜里看到的是历史还是未来？时间往哪个方向行走？或许还看到林奇、库布里克、芒蒂格...？在最后二十分钟色彩似乎才稍微有趣了起来。确切能看到的是工作量，因此常常在展示这些工作量，对空间的展示重于对观众真正地引导，似乎其中也并不真的有什么人物。当然，如果是B级恐怖片的逻辑，也许也不算大问题，问题是新鲜感还是不足够。
崩坏的废土，这是旧约的重演，也是末日的审判
这是一首从一堆颓靡的腐朽里呓语出的万物起源与毁灭的歌赞，与其称作“疯神”，倒不如所称作为“封神”
太牛逼了 神一样的作品。美术相当牛逼、定格动画+真人拍摄 并且有深刻的内核。看完只觉得不明觉厉。大腿拍紫………
邪典版《2001太空漫游》。从血肉泥筑到废土朋克、机械生命到彩色异形，这是无比瑰丽之想象力创造出的恐怖美学集大成者。故事是混乱的、时间是混乱的、世界观同样是混乱的，在不知所云的咿呀低语中，没有一种生物能保持理智，又或许只有舍弃理智才能在这个疯狂的地底世界生存下去。
导演的这些素材要是能做成游戏就好了，拍成电影没有剧情依托反而显得有些无聊
初看并未理解其中含义，看了解说方才略知一二。该电影画面极度猎奇，具有极强烈的视觉冲击感。整部影片内容名副其实，这是一片疯狂且无尽循环的废土，贯穿其中的则是希望、权利与死亡。
电影结尾写着Munich Agreement为英国及联盟换来时间备战，就像高赞说的—导演脑中的片名其实是<张伯伦: 被误解的英雄>。讽刺的是，1938年英法德意搞定了Settlement of the Czechoslovak ，把Sudetenland拱手相让给德国，而捷克只能任人宰割。
把所有令人不适的意象放在了一起，让人有些看不懂。
极度讨厌这种形式太过于大于内容的东西，导演还是继续搞视效吧别拍电影。
没看懂，但还挺好看的～怪异黑暗血腥中透着诡异的可爱。
是那一类7分中规中矩历史片，题材、剧本、演员在那，执行地只要规规矩矩就不会差的那种，现在的历史片因为大事件都拍过了现在就专挑一些不为人知的隐藏故事从小抓起，这部还是容易看进去的，洗白张伯伦，乔治麦凯又开始奔跑了，帝国的毁灭演戈培尔的演员终于混到演元首了
肮脏诡谲的国度，重口程度更甚史云梅耶，像一场想象力溢出流脓的梦。
在走入高清的视觉之后 一切都不再显得神秘诡谲了
我的天啊这个角度，真《张伯伦：忍辱负重的黑暗骑士》？？？（不行，希特勒这个演员完全不行，完全不行，再搞什么啊）
本来我在无精打采的拨柚子吃，然后发现画风逐渐变态，你要是这个风格我可不困了啊……
7分（三星半）是合适的评价，制作和故事概念极佳，但故事故弄玄虚的地方太多。它是部会让我很自然想起前些年那部动画片《9》的影片。
没看懂，但还挺好看的～怪异黑暗血腥中透着诡异的可爱。
各种超越现知的猎奇画面真的让人瞠目结舌，确实很震撼。
无厘头 起码在电影里埋下一个观众用以解读电影的引子吧？
