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.
大概有那么三五秒钟是真诚的，剩下的时间都湮没在莫名其妙之中。
中年危机电影，尼古拉斯凯奇：虽然过气了 但是我会重回巅峰的
其实这是一部帕丁顿熊2的超长预告片（doge）
天才与疯子只在一念之间，相当于凯奇宇宙的一次年终总结吧，尼古拉斯凯奇本色出演尼古拉斯凯奇就是最大的亮点，疯狂吐槽自己的人生，把能玩的梗都玩一遍，但是没能延伸出更多的凯奇状态，于是乎才发现，这部电影的可看性和趣味性也就这么点了。
一样的结尾，绝对不一样的过程。凯奇终于有了一部皆大欢喜的、只属于他的剧本。但财务危机之后的凯奇，以后还能给大家带来什么惊喜呢？
翻身了，但没完全翻过来。对比近几年的那些量产烂片来说，确实要好上不少。和以前的那些优秀电影比起来，还是要差很多的。不过这个想法确实是挺不错的。应该近10年来他最好的电影了把。
不愧是你，烂片王！看了一半后实在看不下去了，双男主就像两个小女生一样幼稚爱斗嘴，笑点很尬，主线剧情很傻，骗情怀的烂片
他不止是一位有债必换的celebrity，还是一名不忘初心的actor，更是一个担当尽责的husband&father，诚如亲王亲口所说，一部由角色推动的电影，建立在凯奇生涯的基础之上，人生第二春听起来就是个很美妙的词，希望学院年底能有所表示，哪怕为了鼓励也好。
剧本构思有创意在里面，就是可惜拿掉这个创意，依然是部小成本的制作，而且导演团队的功力有限，成片效果一般。
充满着自娱精神和对电影的调侃，凯奇绝对是天才演员
看到凯奇叔还在拍这些奇奇怪怪的东西我就放心了。红毒蛇可以说是权游这一波演员里面混的最风生水起的了吧，有前途有前途！
如果特别特别崇拜喜欢尼古拉斯凯奇，那你一定会像磕嗨了
三星半，多半星给凯奇本人。作为连续多年啃他烂片（以各种奇怪的独立电影为重灾区）的我这个观众而言能再一次看到他主役这种院线喜剧甚是欣慰。成片并没有预期无聊，但只是感觉又多看了一部《憨豆特工》而已，抛去电影里凯奇自我调侃的成分来看它带给我的惊喜甚至还没有《威利游乐园》多。
个人中译片名：《奇才重任》。
纯凯奇的粉丝向作品，笑点对于没看过他作品的人来说挺无聊的
又名我对好莱坞又爱又恨，一方面要做角色驱动，给成人看的电影布拉布拉，结果完了发现还是标准的好莱坞式电影，这才是本片最大的笑点。。。
二十年后找艾米汉莫出演哈尔乔丹拍摄中年危机绿灯大电影的我：He’s just right! 🫵
在人生180°转弯时，还有这么多人愿意作伴嬉笑怒骂，已经是人生赢家了。
作為凱吉粉算是滿意，致敬與當中幾個讓他情感流露的點都不錯，但片中最令我驚豔的是片頭大銀幕放的空中監獄片段，小時候一直在電視看的我，看到那一幕的瞬間真的很想他直接把空中監獄整部放一遍。
