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.
莎翁的作品还是伟大。麦克白的悲剧或许在于无法听到自己的声音，无法循着自己的使命妥善过一生，听了太多谗言蒙蔽了自己的双眼。
通过服装的材质反射的光泽给黑白片加上了柔软度和舒适感。看完花絮才知道这个片子特效这么多，400多个特效镜头也算大制作。学院画面和黑白确实让人很集中在奥斯卡影帝们的表演上。
我就是为了摄影才看它的，黑白的层次真丰富啊。故事也没有太大的改动。
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。
演员表是否暗示了old man是witches的伪装/幻象？
善良脆弱的人莫作恶，内心的煎熬已足够惩处。宿命论调的无力与神圣，包裹过权力的诱惑。被异化的人。
稍有不满的是A24的基因有点过重，感觉科恩这次多少有点往回看了，充盈着属于电影这一媒介的古典气息，视听上有一种在看德莱叶等人的感觉，仿佛是故意要和这个时代格格不入
Harry Melling出场出戏

舞台劇的獨白，雖是黑白但是每幀都能感受到畫面帶來的鮮明感！每位演員的演技可以說是相當在線，整個佈景也是相當了得。
无与伦比的构图、光影和画面，把舞台搬上荧幕来讲述被说了很多遍的老故事，电影的艺术气质那么浓，丹帝演得那么好，又怎么会不好看？A24每次都太能戳中我的喜好了～丹帝再冲一次小金人影帝吧！！
光看画面不错，麦克白是不是黑人我也不懂，德不配位是肯定的。当大型实景舞台剧看看还行，多的意思也不大。
无聊，受够了这么拍的莎翁电影了，不如把到剧场里去用这些现代电影手法排个剧，然后给观众看剧的录播好了
虽然但是有什么必要来又看一遍麦克白的故事啊
删繁就简，打造了神秘的史诗，黑白影像展现了光影艺术。丹泽尔与科恩嫂都不错，唯独故事弱了点。
竟然出奇的好看？！不愧为莎士比亚的著作改编 词藻太华丽了 麦克白听取预言后所做决定却与预言大相庭径 这也就埋下了悲剧的种子 随着麦克白的头颅落地 他的故事也随之落幕
科恩单飞之后的预热吧，摄影极具风格，结合建筑光影关系凸显人物内心的磊落与阴暗，这样的处理在以往电影中只作为辅助手段，这次科恩却把建筑视觉语音以舞台背景元素强调表现矛盾冲突。这也算是对莎翁戏剧《麦克白》的全新解读。可建筑光影交替和莎翁极具交响乐般的对白，无法在影片中交相辉映，略显撕扯。丹泽尔.华盛顿的内心挣扎实在显得有些疲惫，看不出本能的纠结，只有学院话戏剧功底的堆砌。
读《麦克白》的时候就有一种感觉，在第三幕之前，人物和场景都十分集中，没有过多的历史背景与具体情景描述，大部分事件发生在话语中，因此有一种偏向精神和心理的内倾性。科恩的这次改编把这种感觉发挥到了极致，叙事始终紧贴在麦克白周遭，从而避免了把戏剧拍成史诗。保留了大量的舞台效果，少量的平行剪辑和神乎其技的转场，让本片成为没有换幕的莎剧：一切都可以被统摄为麦克白的心像，而人物的念白则大都是think out loud。磅礴的独白变作不安的呢喃，配合相当学院派的表演，这是一出被电影手段强化的戏剧，科恩创造了一种形式混合体，就像开闭幕都有聚光灯启闭的声音一样。最有趣的一处改编是用洛斯替换了原作中的“刺客丙”，填补了班柯子孙的留白——麦克白的悲剧还会一再上演。三女巫首领赫卡特的角色，恐怕是被科恩自己领了去。
意外地缺乏冲击感，也许与节奏有关。动作编排或成最大亮点
開幕女巫全場最佳，舞台劇台詞排演但正式上場 + Joel Coen單飛成為主創後的彰顯自我化攝影+ A24班底堅持遵從佈景美學(跟everything everywhere all at once一樣是視聽雙重享受)喜歡舞台劇的人maybe不冗長，但不喜歡的人大概就又長又臭又平庸了
