惩罚 The Penalty

Blizzard is the criminal overlord of San Francisco's Barbary Coast District. His sociopathic behavior can be traced to his childhood when a severe head trauma went undiagnosed and Dr. Ferris, his attending physician, mistakenly amputates both of his legs. Despite his disabilities, the embittered Blizzard rises in the underworld by sheer ruthlessness and force of will. Although his empire includes prostitution, gambling, drug-dealing, human trafficking, and murder, he is also planning something much larger. Secret Service Head Lichtenstein assigns Rose, his most beautiful and resourceful agent, to infiltrate Blixzzard's gang and discover his plans. She soon becomes his current mistress but becomes ambivalent about informing Lichtenstein of the ganglord's activities as she finds herself falling in love with him. Blizzard finally finds a way to revenge himself on Ferris by insinuating himself with Ferris' beautiful sculptress daughter as a model and ultimately hoping to seduce her. Rose ultimately discovers that Blizzard's master plan encompasses an uprising by the city's large Asian and Eastern European immigrant population, an insurrection that will loot and sack the city, but will she betray the man she now calls "Master?"

mua这结尾真是看得我......嘶......关键我还想当然以为是正常演把腿后期P掉什么的（对不起）没想到是真的绑起来演！太震撼了朗钱尼。费力爬墙扒拉在窗口看和最后被射击形成鲜明对比，有种螳螂捕蝉、黄雀在后的狡猾。钱尼长得一张邪性的脸充满巨大的能量，比旁人矮一截气势却很强，让我想起变色龙这类爬虫，同时在他身上我看到了一种最古老的、遥远的哥谭小丑气质。看评论很唏嘘，要是晚生几十年赶上高科技可能就不会落下病根了。
朗-钱尼的演技和对表演的敬业是伟大的
“当撒旦从天堂跌落，他便在地狱寻找权力。”……朗钱尼的表演魅力与此片所宣导的意识形态同样惊人――医生靠谎言掩盖重大医疗错治累积的第一桶金竟然完全没有因果报应？钱尼为扮此角，用皮带将小腿向后绑死，据他回忆当时每次只能绑几分钟就已经疼得要死，可即便如此仍然落下了永久性背伤。
7。朗钱尼的这个角色必然令人印象深刻
Blizzard - that cripple from Hell。前面81分鐘都相當好看，最後怎麼來個反高潮的說教啊…
影史的第一次医闹？（bushi）但合情合理啊！毁了一个人一生的医疗事故，却是一个备受人尊敬的医生的第一桶金，并且他的女儿还能学雕塑艺术！真是杀人放火金腰带啊！结果，男主最后不仅放弃了报复，还改邪归正，结果却被原来的手下打死了？想说明啥？莫入Mafia，否则抽身难？这片真是让人感受到世间的不公，明明是医疗受害者，却申述无门，想用自己的方法去解决，却被人认为是在犯罪！施害者事业有成，备受尊敬，家庭幸福美满；而受害者只短暂了享受了家庭爱人的美好生活！朗钱尼的作品确实弥漫了一股宿命、不公的氛围！残腿做得好真啊，朗钱尼为这片子一定吃了不少苦！最后的撒旦塑像，一个天使，只因反抗，堕入地狱，但是内在他还是天使啊！女侦探和男主的感情戏来得太快了吧？换腿那段我看的版本没有啊，戛然而止了，不开心！
换腿手术那里相当高潮了，结果……女侦探和老大的关系有些强行，是说看出了后者内心深处潜藏的善意嘛……
默片中的遺珠啊,敘事技巧優秀圓熟,借插敘點出男主角的邪惡源自其童年悲劇,但內心仍是存在着撥亂反正之心,又以幻想強調這墮落天使胸懷的激情和夢想,即便作為惡人,但其惡卻隱約透出偉大;只是片末男主角的改邪歸正未免太牽強了
钱尼就是最好的演员

朗钱尼朗钱尼，除了震惊真的说不出什么。
20s的amputee片，斯德哥尔摩和执念（只是手术使恶棍从良太没意思，最后一幕强行点题）附一篇Lon Chaney演无腿人的文：http://moviessilently.com/2014/04/20/the-penalty-1920-a-silent-film-review/
3.5星
结尾的转折难以让人信服，朗·钱尼演技精湛，为了表现截肢太拼了。算上《未知者》，他的四肢在电影中都断过了一遍

7.7 I'm not sure if it's good or not. Lon makes me think there's some deeper meaning even if there might be not.
相当爱的一部电影,我觉得这部电影其实可以翻拍成有声电影,翻拍的更丰富一些,只是没有几个人再会像朗钱尼那样为了演残疾人真的带上马具像残疾人一样行走了.朗钱尼是我心中永远的Blizzard.
