In today's day and age I think as a country we have been drifting away from foreign films. This is a bad idea because now we have limited ourselves in what movies we are watching. If you like horror movies you shouldn't even be watching American movies anymore. Today's movie was made in Japan by the greatest of Japanese directors Akira Kurosawa. His movies are rarely dull and almost always thought provoking today's movie is no exception Today's film is his best The Seven Samurai. The movie is about a bunch of farmers whose crops are about to be taken by bandits for the second time. They decide to buy the help of seven samurai and then a great battle takes place.
This movie's music, sets, and costumes are all authentic which is beyond amazing. The story is never boring and all the characters are so well written and acted I felt for all of them which is no easy feat. The action is amazing but I found it odd how the action is slower feeling than all the lead up. At least for me. This movie just was so full of life that I had a hard time pulling away from this great film.
This movie is long almost three and a half hours so fair warning but ready for the movie of your life. I can think of few words to say about this film because I am honestly in shock about this movie. If you love yourself go watch this now.
Ebert's score 4 stars
Tyler's score 4 stars
