Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" - Review

At first, I didn't know what to make of this film. I felt that the pacing was too slow, and the scenery less attractive. However, after constantly researching this movie, I discovered the heart of a gifted filmmaker. Kurosawa is all about composition (or composing movement) In most of his films, there is certain weather in the background that creates effect. I've learned that this is what critics look for in great movies, including Roger Ebert. There is a lot more to a Kurosawa film than you think. Today, Seven Samurai is one of my favorite films, and it has taught me a lot. The greatest gift that Akira Kurosawa can give to an audience is the Art of Cinema. The movie has inspired many filmmakers like; George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and actor/Richard Gere.

Watch it and be amazed.

Must watch

Firstly, this film isn’t for everyone. E.G., if you find yourself getting amped up for the newest marvel movie, you’re best advised to skip this. However, I’d you’re interested in film making and appreciate true story telling, then this film is for you. This is easily one of the greatest films ever made. True, the acting takes some getting used to; and the film is quite long. But, if you can accept those things for what they are (it’s not hard) the cinematography and directing is first class.

A classic that endures!

This film is the quintessential samurai film, as well as an Akira Kurosawa masterpiece, starring his most reliable actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura. If you have never seen it, you are in for excitement, humor, and dramatic moments. Even at its considerable length, it flows and is entertaining all along the way. Some of the subtitles come and go so quickly that I had to rewind and watch again, but this film could almost be enjoyed without captions, just following the actions on the screen. This film was re-done in the states as the Western titled The Magnificent Seven.Vollständige Rezension lesen
