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.
【8】一个被迷信吞噬后遭受良心谴责和复仇报应的故事，这辈子第一次看莎剧改编的电影，感受很神奇，忙着感叹画面的干净漂亮，也适应了半天这种相当风格化的再演绎，算是把心理挣扎拍得淋漓尽致，没什么大毛病，教科书级精致。
略失望吧，预告骗了属于是……影像上有一些惊艳时刻，声音设计也有点意思，但总体比较乏善可陈，观看过程一度感到无聊，究其原因可能是它在文本和形式上都无甚新意，风格化就只是为了风格化而存在，遑论像《灯塔》那样做到二者的自洽和互相支持。像有的评论说的，在《蜘蛛巢城》之后，再做这种改编可能已无必要了。B
丹泽尔华盛顿演得确实是不太行……灯光真漂亮，女巫那几场戏非常好。
相比15版麦克白逊色不少，戏剧般的形式感和黑白并没有加分，最重要的内心情感戏也是一带而过，不知道在拍些什么……
瞠目结舌的视听体验，简直是奥逊威尔斯还魂。表现主义的光影，沉重苍凉的史诗。科恩这次单飞同台竞技胜过了黑泽明和波兰斯基，华盛顿也强过三船敏郎。
真就舞台剧，除了一些删改基本上都照搬原著，再复习了一遍属于是（看完好想搞麦克白的舞台剧（感觉力度不够啊，不够阴沉，不够邪，也不够癫，基本上都是飘飘软软的感觉。麦克白最后的独白呈现也太萎了，战前的演出倒是很不错。摄影和剧本感觉挺割裂，摄影虽然挺好，但是感觉和剧本各走各
一星给影像，一星给台词，一星给表演，是a24专属电影了。
女巫的形象太棒了Kathryn Hunter
极简的布景与美到极致的摄影，倒是很好的呈现了舞台效果！让这部戏剧味更浓。而简化的剧情也使故事更紧凑 演绎得也很优秀
当麦克白穿着一身保暖内衣煞有介事地做诗朗诵的时候，你会有一种黑人民权运动领袖演讲的错觉。“麦克白”的改编有太多的珠玉，科恩兄弟就被卷到开始大玩形式“翻新”，那么这究竟是一次艺术形式多样性的极佳体现，还是呻吟陶醉的行为现眼，标准只有一个，那就是“我觉得而不是你觉得”。
改编自莎翁名著《麦克白》，但科恩兄给它赋予了浓重的舞台话剧风，那种一个人对着空气念拗口旁白的感觉很不对我胃口。相比而言，《蜘蛛巢城》就改编得很接地气。有黑泽明这座大山在前边挡着，其他导演还是绕道行驶吧。
科恩这回玩极简风，突出演技，突出台词，突出摄影，灯光和舞美。简化场景，简化化妆道具，简化服装。要知道剧本是科恩强项，完全舍去，科恩在摄影和极简舞美上成功了。
别再说了，请立刻拍一套莎士比亚全集吧谢谢。
布景很绝，赋予光影以意义；演员不错，戏演于光影之间。然而，莎士比亚戏剧之于我却不甚欢喜。
尽管我确实是一个痴迷于风格化电影语言的人，但乔尔科恩这部转型之作实在难称满意，丹泽尔华盛顿和McDormand的表演确实很好，但在这种稠密层叠的黑白光影和A24画幅下，这两位老熟人实在难以搭建一场信服感强烈的莎翁对手戏。而剧本对于原文台词的保留，与通篇浓郁的后现代解构意味和极简置景之间，并没有做到气质上的想通，以至于全片浓郁的当代戏剧感完全压过了电影感，也许他希望观众从中能看到德莱叶，看到伯格曼，但很遗憾我实在做不到。
就当是看舞台剧吧，这样密集复古的台词如果当成电影看还是会觉得很奇怪很难入戏的
预言的种子埋在心里，等到发芽，结果，再凋落，重新再来一遍，一遍遍的循环往复，既是自证预言，又是悲剧重演。高级的对话，高级的影像风格，不愧是A24出品的，就是与众不同，很多场景都让人过目不忘，真高级。
不是很适应这种类型的电影，完全就是把话剧搬过来了而已，除了一些镜头有些惊艳意外，我还是喜欢一般电影的那种风格
只能说很有个性吧
不知道拍摄意义何在，女巫演技惊人，男主也还不错，女主没什么发挥且感觉过于现代。
