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.
好美好美的感情啊，看到最后真的是很羡慕。不过闺蜜变情侣，属性怎么选，还是有点意思。剧情要是搬到异性恋上算是比较套路而且乏味了，但在通讯录身上却感觉还是比较有新意的。两位男主的表演一看就很像通讯录（男主应该本来就是），演的也比较真实自然，只可惜詹姆斯了，你也会值得更好的！
后记
这么多年了。美国还是喜欢拍这种屎尿屁同志电影
一口气看了两部Netflix的两部圣诞贺岁电影。讲真， 这部同性的电影反而透着浓烈的腐朽味，主角个个好看。但是剧本完全不思考，男女换成男男，白白换成白黑，照搬套路就想讲个大爱的故事了？ 两颗星给男二男三的颜值 就酱
不要啊，你们是姐妹啊！你们在一起好奇怪啊感觉乱伦了啊！
#loveSophie
前面太难熬了 后半段有点感动 一家人整整齐齐的感动 小朋友上台表演也很可爱 俩大侄女太好笑了哈哈哈哈哈love is blind. No. That’s when you fall in love with someone who’s ugly.笑不活了哈哈哈哈哈哈
很有聖誕氣息 也很真實的同性戀故事，我們確實是很容易因為害怕失去朋友而選擇隱藏自己的感受。謝謝這種合家歡電影，很開心
我真的没有看到一丁点chemistry，感觉就是一对好朋友被家人gaslight到互相示爱的故事
一起看的室友给了5⭐️，我不理解，我给-1⭐️
"Falling in love with my best frd" kind of cliche, but definitely the Xmas vibe we needed as of now.
喜剧自然是喜剧的样子，再加上是圣诞温馨类片，没有什么深度就是图个乐，属于投放到欧美市场适合家人团聚看的电影（儿童不宜），好多影评拿深度、社会之类的来解读就大可不必了。故事线总体还是很可以的，合家欢的结局用圣诞喜剧的角度来评价还是很温馨的。
我不是看不得普通人谈恋爱的看脸派，不是种族歧视，不是对流水线恋爱轻喜剧恨之入骨，我只是在成片质量并不理想的情况下，又无法接受“九年的姐妹十天变男友”这种尬到脚趾扣地的事情。
终于把计划要看的这部圣诞片看完了( ´▽｀)虽然剧情没什么深度，逻辑还有点怪。不过无所谓了，圣诞节就想看甜甜的恋爱，你发糖就是好电影(*¯︶¯*)大家一起拆礼物那段泪目了，看起来真开心呀
还行吧，圣诞背景的男同爱情电影。还挺甜，就很热闹
剧情基本就是随时能猜到下一步的片子，不差但是也没啥亮点。实在要说亮点的话，就是Jennifer Coolidge吧，仿佛在看破产姐妹，哈哈哈。
反正我是不相信现实生活中有人会不选择人设完美的James而选择相处更像姐妹的好友，认识八年都没在一起过个圣诞就突然来电了？全片唯一让我磕糖的地方反而是滑完雪后James猝不及防的拥吻，有点霸总那味了，奈何是个百分之百工具人。如果这个镇上真的有James这种完美还单身的人的话，我是很乐意去定居的哈哈（btw：有必要重新开始好好记录自己看过的每一部电影
2021了怎么这么白的剧本还有人投 好敢啊
我比较认同前期妈妈的看法....为什么全家人要强行组合这对CP....好像在拼命给你洗脑“你俩多般配啊。”最后自己都信了“我俩好像真的挺般配”.....
黑人小哥也太可以了，真的爱了，很棒，作为一个爱情喜剧片打发时间还是可以看看的
