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.

仿佛在看好老婆。立个flag今年补完West Wing！
A great musical telling an inspiring true story in an exhilarating fashion that celebrates decency and kindness!
8.0准确无误地拍出了这个剧本，但也被其束缚，不过文本本身所具有的能量足够强大。调度并不平庸，但只是做到了可以做到的——匠气十足的人物/权利关系网（带着压迫的法官位置逐渐被群众压下）。
20211123——266；荣获托尼奖的一部百老汇音乐剧。为纪念911事件20周年而作，根据真实故事改编。38架飞机迫降加拿大纽芬兰甘德小镇。12位演员，男女各半，在迫降旅客与小镇居民角色间转换，情绪饱满，故事感人。
第一次听到Me and the Sky 还没get全部歌词就哭了，从此记住了这部剧。这次看官摄，从第一首歌里we will not be killed那里就开始哭。疫情后去剧场看的人应该和我一样吧。也希望有一天中国也会有感动全世界的作品，我们经历的也应该让全世界记得。最后，希望巡演赶快重启吧！我要进剧场看！
在此时这部电影的社会意义大于电影本身。拍的中规中矩，反派塑造的太不立体，尤其是大法官傻的莫名其妙。复杂度密度很高～Abbie和Tom两个不同文化派系的矛盾和融合拍的喜欢。
故事的角度特别好 另一种角度表达社会事件后的社会变化 每个人都很善良 / 但我自己感觉略微有点主旋律 故事比较散 / 原来圆形转盘是百老汇标配啊！
总体中上，剪辑凌乱，输入密集，想要表达的太多太多了
通篇文戏居然一点不乏，以庭审马拉松再现事件真相，拍得真是收放自如。尽管法官戏码太过儿戏，观点表达也太过直白，但对于2020年这个特殊年份，拍得通俗些也好。

索金的电影依旧有自己的问题，但是在这个法庭戏上用他的方法把情绪传达到最好；Eddie口音确实不明显，演的也很脱离他传统角色，尤其是那个镜头；拿奖的话，比较有戏的可能就是剧本和双男配，Eddie可能混个金球男主提名…
挺喜欢的题材，可惜可能受制于历史的事实，最后还是草草结尾（其实这剧本密度我完全不介意它被拍到3小时及以上）。希望奥斯卡大满贯吧，别再fuck audience with love and peace了。
剪辑营造了叙事氛围，但为此也牺牲了流畅性，整体是种凌乱的观感。故事本身很值得记录，电影拍的精彩但套路，很"聚焦"，是冲着奥斯卡去的了。
“实际上，今天的世界是由死去的人和活着的人共同构成的，而不是单由活着的人构成，这是一个简单的概念吧，但总是被忽略，没有注意。”这段话出自娄烨，搬出它，是因为我觉得艾伦·索金就是带着这样的态度拍出这部电影的。
This is not only the history but also the world we’re living in.
法庭戏➕艾伦·索金的剧本，字幕已经看不过来。全世界都在看：有些人在推翻，有些人在伪装。
Very well orchestrated, 但是太 煽 了。这样的剧本，如果对它有满分的信念，又为什么要剪辑和音乐助力呢。
