This film is a work on genius on so many different levels. The story, the character development, the sets, the music. Even though I love every Kurosawa film I've ever seen, these one stands apart.
Awesome. Watched it last night for the first time. I`ve had the theme tune as my ring tone for ages and finally tracked a copy of the film down. It has everything. For a black and white old movie it has you hooked. The seven ronin wouldn`t have been a bad name but wouldn`t have been as catchy. Looking forward to the 47 Ronin coming out in a few months
Definitely the best Kurosawa! I love all kinds of martial arts films and was so glad when “Films of Fury” finally came out on demand. It was really entertaining and had tons of action scenes!
A true masterpiece, loved it since i was 16 15 years ago in high school's film class and one of my faves, i even enjoyed it's 2 American remakes like Magnificent Seven and Bug's life.
I cannot express in words how much I love this movie, I don't think there is anything that even comes close to the perfection this movie attained. So instead I'll just give you some interesting piece of trivia which might interest you.
SPOILER ALERT
Although Heihachi was the first of the seven samurai to die, the actor portraying him was the last of the actors of the seven to die.
there is a mexican film with toshiro mifune named ANIMAS TRUJANO, you can see an excellent performance by this magnificent actor, speaking like an indigenous people, i am mexican and by the way of the town that the story ocurred, and i never see this kind of actor try here in you tube ANIMAS TRUJANO you will see a masterpiece
@ttarkus You're right, but Seven Samurai is one of the great movies. I loved High and Low Kagemusha Ikiru and I personally consider them better in my view too. Kagemusha is my fave of all the Kurosawa films.
Watched the movie online. Very nice one. Midway through it, they put up a board in Japanese. And the board stayed for the next 5 minutes, I think. Seems like intermission was ‘sewn’ into movies back then.
I remember watching this at 3AM in the morning in some random movie channel when I was a kid... I always thought old films to be lame, but Seven Samurai opened my eyes @_@
You know its funny....I love this film so much and also other Japanese films and some Korean films. But I am the only person that I know who does. none of my friends, relatives or work colleagues do. Living in South Australia, I feel alone in this aspect but a little bit more special or enlightened than my counterparts. After watching the Seven Samurai many years ago awokened me to the great quality of Japans cinema. Toshiro Mifunes acting was amazing. His character very magnetic and likable.
The Greatest movie ever made came from Japan. In honor of the Japanese people on this tragic quake day I'm going to watch my Criterion Laserdisc tonight.

refreshing thing about this classic IMO is that the emphasis is on ACTING not CGI so you actually care about and can relate to the characters regardless of language or cultural differences, and on that note the stunts are not blue-screen wonders either but skilled horse riding and real falls.
@neverhoodyn well actually they used a digital replacement image on the film balc swan for natalie portmans face while she was dancing the hard moves...
fuck man as a matter of fact i really dont like modern days japanese or korean movies coz they are just too cute...but since i have been watching some old jap movies...i wonder what the fuck!!!! sometime i wonder, human made mistake making colour cinema...black and white is best time for cinema industry
@TeddyBearMonsters Rashomon, Stray Dog, No Regrets for Our Youth, Sanshiro Sugata, Sanshiro Sugata Part Two, The Quiet Duel, Vendetta of a Samurai, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, Red Beard, The 47 Ronin, Gate of Hell, Musashi Miyamoto, Duel at Ichijoji Temple, Duel at Ganryu Island, Samurai Saga, The Hidden Fortress, Tsubaki Sanjuro, Harakiri, Chushingura, Sword of the Beast.. There are alot more than I can list but for now.. this should be a good start.
This is one of the most influential movies known to everyone. Many adaptations were brought on afterwords. The story could be brought on today and many would love it as a new movie.
I love the film. It is a masterpiece. But I would like to point out that images of samurais have hugely been distorted by this film. Please know that Japan has been very peaceful under a governance of samurais (1604-1867). The period was ended by Mr.Katsu (1823-1899) who never drew a sword in life, although he was a very skillful swordman. In 'Bushido', Mr.Katsu is praised as a true samurai who always sought for peaceful solutions.
you spoiled the movie for me. Was reading the comments about the trailer to get a better sense for the movie, but you just fucked it. I was looking forward to watching it too.
thanks, i hope you burn and rot, you fucking prick. no wonder you were fucking born in 1994. you have no idea how mad i am right now.
This was first Akira Kurosawa movie for me. I think i saw it around 1999-2001 or something. Was my all time fav for a long time. :) Perhaps not my fav Kurosawa movie anymore but it still helds very special place for me.
Kurosawa had to wait hours for the wind so that the flags could flutter for the scene where they rode down the hill. Today, Michael Bay just has to throw in special effects and CGI and he gets the money.
According to Kurosawa, during a conversation between Hayao Miyazaki, he said he sent all the actors home with their costumes they actually use in the movie and had them wear every day, so they wear naturally to make them look realistic.
I think it set the trend for the movies to follow. You can see it in Fistful of Dollar(remake of Yojimbo) and the sequels how dirty the clothes the actors wear, and compare it to the western movies before.
@allgoo19 you idiot. that's their normal cloths anyway. Besides there are actors that lose 30 pounds or go on drugs to do their part. Your comments are worthless.
this movie was made 1954. it was set around 1587. i don't think it was normal for people to go around town in 1954 with 1587 clothing then. the things weren't their "normal clothes" anymore at all. normal clothes in japan during the time the movie was created were typical shirts and slacks. it was a brilliant idea making them wear the traditional outfits even outside of shooting. you prolly thought they went around in kimonos and shit during the 1950s. you idiot.
@tommy407 lol what an idiot. of course they do still wear kimonos, just not every damn day going to work or the mall like what i think you believe. you watch too much hentai, child. stay in school.
There have been many remakes but none had duplicated Kikuchiyo character to the level as good as the original. Without the effort by Toshiro Mifune, this movie could be just half as good.
The battle ending scene of "Dances with wolves" is quite similar to the battle ending scene of 7 samurai, where the bandits leader on the horse surrounded by villagers before gets killed.
lol, the american subtitles look different to the british subtitles, like where it said, this triangle's for you, Thats a good one", here in britain it said, "yes this triangle is for you, because your special, and several other subs in this trailer were different also lol.
While in the end it is all about the battle, what leads up to that is with such dignity and character developement, every kill and new character is done like it is the best one in the film. However you must go into the film wanting to see it otherwise you wont enjoy it, like my father
@BunchofMovie if nothing else Seven Samurai is great because of the ridiculous amount of action movie conventions it created. It also has some very good character development and decent action scenes, but its a movie best appreciated for its historical value.
Theres alot of reasons, but its like the godfather in that its very hard to see how good the film is or explain it unless you have seen it yourself
Its also to do with the character development, at first they dont like each other that much, or atleast one samurai, and then as the film progesses, their personalities and perceptions towards one another change, rather like real life.
@D14EVA Yeah, I remember the first time I saw it like you said except it was on a Sunday night in mid-Feb. 2007, I was glued to the screen once I sat down and started watching it with my famliy. Still, one of the very best films of all time. I'd probably agreed that it's Kurosawa's tur masterpiece next to RAN (1985). Kurosawa... always the best in samurai films. This is the 1! :D
A lot of the film techniques and plots of Akira Kurosawa's movies greatly influenced western filmaking. Seven Samurai is excellent, but make a lot of popcorn because the unedited version is long.
@maximuslaurius ya i agree but ya a frend of mine said this sucks black n white chinees speaking . and ya made this askion just to show him that im richt XD
this film raps comedy with violence with romance and spirit all before the modern chick flicks and before film has certain guidelines to follow i.e Hollywood. this film should be put up there with the greats no doubt.
When I see this movie, I laugh, I cry, and I love it.

this movie was made 1954. it was set around 1587. i don't think it was normal for people to go around town in 1954 with 1587 clothing then. the things weren't their "normal clothes" anymore at all. normal clothes in japan during the time the movie was created were typical shirts and slacks. it was a brilliant idea making them wear the traditional outfits even outside of shooting. you prolly thought they went around in kimonos and shit during the 1950s. you idiot.

There have been many remakes but none had duplicated Kikuchiyo character to the level as good as the original. Without the effort by Toshiro Mifune, this movie could be just half as good.
The battle ending scene of "Dances with wolves" is quite similar to the battle ending scene of 7 samurai, where the bandits leader on the horse surrounded by villagers before gets killed.
I'm not saying which one copied from wich. ^_^

lol, the american subtitles look different to the british subtitles, like where it said, this triangle's for you, Thats a good one", here in britain it said, "yes this triangle is for you, because your special, and several other subs in this trailer were different also lol.
Its one heck of an amazing film

For the people who watched this, was it good?

No, it was epic, more than epic.
While in the end it is all about the battle, what leads up to that is with such dignity and character developement, every kill and new character is done like it is the best one in the film. However you must go into the film wanting to see it otherwise you wont enjoy it, like my father

@BunchofMovie if nothing else Seven Samurai is great because of the ridiculous amount of action movie conventions it created. It also has some very good character development and decent action scenes, but its a movie best appreciated for its historical value.

Have you seen it?
Theres alot of reasons, but its like the godfather in that its very hard to see how good the film is or explain it unless you have seen it yourself
Its also to do with the character development, at first they dont like each other that much, or atleast one samurai, and then as the film progesses, their personalities and perceptions towards one another change, rather like real life.
Its also got lavish Cinematography

@D14EVA Yeah, I remember the first time I saw it like you said except it was on a Sunday night in mid-Feb. 2007, I was glued to the screen once I sat down and started watching it with my famliy. Still, one of the very best films of all time. I'd probably agreed that it's Kurosawa's tur masterpiece next to RAN (1985). Kurosawa... always the best in samurai films. This is the 1! :D

@BassKillerful
A lot of the film techniques and plots of Akira Kurosawa's movies greatly influenced western filmaking. Seven Samurai is excellent, but make a lot of popcorn because the unedited version is long.

@mirageknight24 True, Kurosawa did a few great samurai films I admire. This is one of them. I'll stick to what you said.

this film raps comedy with violence with romance and spirit all before the modern chick flicks and before film has certain guidelines to follow i.e Hollywood. this film should be put up there with the greats no doubt.
