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.
看下来剧情线也还算简单明了，桑德拉的表演也还可圈可点。
ps:姐妹情，其实更像母女。
1，剧作结构太出彩，2，桑德拉的演技为反转的一刻增添了很厚重的人物悲剧色彩。
女主演技超神啊，把这么多复杂的情绪融入到表情、眼神、动作里
不可饶恕主要是说社会对于有前科的人的态度吧，活在当下，为未来更好而活才是有意义的。
？？？这不是很蠢的嘛？5岁就算屠城都不会受惩罚的，并且身份信息还会被保密化处理。真是献身了个寂寞，抖m是吧
看到桑德拉布洛克，真的是久违了！
如果一个罪犯重新回归社会面临的情况是什么？事情又是如何发生的？透过现象看本质，即使女主真的不是杀人犯，事情就不会发生吗？一部具有深刻社会意义的片子，桑德拉.布洛克精湛的演技，探讨了这样的一个社会问题，后面加了报复的情节，感觉狗尾续貂，不知道原来的电视剧是不是这样？
全片以露丝的视点叙述，影片大量的闪回，通过信息差来制造悬念。在剧情反转前，我觉得影片核心在讲人对内在情绪的克制，所有的冲突的源头都是以内在的、私人的，但形式却是非理智的，而在真相被揭晓后，小小厂房里男性和女性的对峙形成了强烈的对比，一个是女性的坚韧，她能被压倒在地，也能重新站起来，一个是男性的冲动，他是一直隐忍着的，不表露情感，但当他被击溃的那一刻，他就无法再保持理智、控制行为了。
还行，各方面都不错，只是纳闷，美国5岁小孩误杀要负刑事责任？中国14岁以下故意杀人都没事啊。
很多影评人抱怨剧情不合理，可是人家是改编自十年前的获奖英国迷你剧集啊。好吧，里面的好人（律师、鱼工）可能是太好了点，坏人（警察的儿子）确实是太坏了点；但前者并不影响主线剧情，后者则为了突出典型和增加张力，所以都还可以接受。本片最大的反转——女主是主动顶罪的——我也觉得逻辑通顺（妹妹五岁这个年龄非常关键），而且这更加深了“请给回头浪子再一次机会”和无私亲情的两大主题。真要挑毛病，我觉得西雅图中国城及亚裔的形象可以再光辉一些。
Sandra Bullock演技没得说 故事合理性还是有点缺陷 整体还算不错
小孩杀人 应该属于过失 应该不会被判刑（个人看法，或者姐姐为了“全面”保护 也未可知） 有些场面很生硬，全靠主角一个人堆砌的剧 肖邦第一叙事曲 很符合这故事
关于这个故事，关于那些坐过牢的人，那些遭遇过侵犯的人，他们如何走出阴影，如果让生活重新开始，如何获得周围人的平视而非歧视，这永远是一个值得思考的问题。小小感动，深深思索。
可是5岁的小孩子真的能扣得动扳机+瞄准脑壳吗。。。桑婆近乎完美的演技再一次征服了我，褪去和基努第一次搭戏时的稚嫩青涩到现在的精湛演技，桑婆值得第二座小金人！
剧情看到这，不合逻辑，如果想看出狱后这样影片，看一下2021年日本电影《美丽新世界》，那才是炸裂式演技。
结尾有点出人意表地让人感动了一点点。但是冷静想想，这样结尾太划水了。前面做了那么多铺垫，几组家庭各种人物关系的冲突眼看着就要到来，给了观众那么多故事即将推向高潮的期待感，临最后却急刹车，以一种最温柔的方式结束，容易给人虎头蛇尾的感觉。而且妹妹对姐姐的态度前面铺垫的还是太少。回头梳理剧情，发现硬伤太多太多了。但是我倒觉得女主角演得挺好的。一个没读什么书且坐过二十年牢的女人这种性格很容易让人相信，但是案件的起因也真的是经不起推敲。
Sandra Bullock傻大姐蜕变为演技派啊
桑德拉与迈克尔，晚年撞脸，我是如何都回避不了！但戏是好戏，剧情苦涩，加上反转，让女主命运更加曲折！温情之余感叹爱之伟大！
我13岁就从生死时速起开始喜欢她，现在39岁了，又一次看到桑德拉布洛克奉献了一场奥斯卡级别的表演！隐忍与爆发的情绪一切都真实而恰到好处。太赞了！20多年了，她仍然是我的女神。
