One of the all time great filmsis getting a special 3 DVD release in September. Seven Samurai.
Seven Samurai is one of those films that almost every other film rips off. It’s kind of like the original Godfather. Once you see it, you instantly see it’s influence on all future filmmakers. Not sure what Seven Samurai is?
One of the most beloved movie epics of all time, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (Shichinin no samurai) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabits hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride – featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura – seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.
I have to watch so many movies these days that I don’t actually end up buying many of them anymore… this one will be an exception!
