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.
如果宇宙的终极规则是“熵”,即一切都会走向灭亡，片子中形形色色的畸形怪物和各种反常理的东西也就说得通了；在这里时间没有任何意义，宇宙和人类只是疯神打发时间的调剂。从令人作呕的场景来看这个“宇宙”已经存在很久很久了，似乎也已经开始走向混乱与无序，也许毁灭也只是时间的问题。
睡前看一遍 做梦梦一遍 好耶 明天可以准时被吓醒了！ PS：这个片子太意识流了 很猎奇很邪典 能看出来有反战的意思 批判西方永不止息的战争和愚蠢 但是几乎没有剧情和对白的电影注定小众 对我来说花了这么多年做出来这部电影真的让我回想到八九十年代和20世纪初美国电影的生命力、开创性和匠心 不像现在充满了工业流水线的风格 片中的景象和我做的梦一样 一个压抑恐怖又绝望的地狱 一堆无意识的话语 一群诡异而残暴的生物 一片疯狂并且野蛮的人类
如果只是浅显得理解它是在讽刺战争、制度、医疗和人性，那就太狭隘了，这明明是众神在孕育万物时对世界乃至宇宙的的唯美礼赞。
没有一句台词，层出不穷的怪物，充斥着黑暗血腥场面，奈何我就是不太感冒。
把所有令人不适的意象放在了一起，让人有些看不懂。
很爽的一次噩梦参观体验，冲着30年再加一星
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。
废土，机械，朋克，克苏鲁，邪典外加导演的个人恶趣味
我看不懂但我大受震撼。什么样的人才能想象出这种画面和表现方式呢，真牛啊
在我眼里真的不能再垃圾了！
《来自深渊》+《终末少女旅行》男子恶心版。多加了些政治和宗教元素。
宗教式的惩罚和对末世的想象。刺激出恶心这样一种强烈的情绪来触发抗拒、厌恶的反应以达到避害、警惕的目的，影片或许是一个警世寓言，混杂着疫情时代的焦虑，让人类反思所有自我毁灭性质的行为。
看了一会儿 没什么意思就玩手机了 听音乐听完的
好恶哈哈哈那块黑色长方体坠落到星球上，我们：2001太空漫游！😂
很可惜的一点就是故事弱于画面了，不知道是不是因为三十年前的设想在今日已经屡见不鲜……但真的，好佩服啊，好佩服！
类似2001太空漫游，剧情就像是观光巴士，重点是（导演想表达的）窗外的景色而非巴士座椅舒适与否。
虽然很掉san，实际上后面还看困了，没想到这也能助眠，可能是太长了后面没啥新意，弄成短片多好
这个电影的完成性高于电影的观赏性 可以说基本没有所谓的“故事” 只留下创作者对世界认知 而我们只能从中进行反思
看完觉得很牛逼！尤其是那个操纵时间的梗，你说会不会有一个宇宙时间是倒流的？
场景极多，有几个还相当宏大；风格也非常极致，兵人、废土、怪物、工业朋克等等。
