Seven Samurai

"Super classic. This movie is the base for so many after. It's worth watching it just so you see can see the blueprint. If you are a cinephile or filmmaker, you are probably already aware of this. Highly recommended. Enjoy!"

"Be prepared when you see this film: it is 3 hours and 30 minutes long. I finally saw the excellent Japanese film that the American film "The Magnificent Seven" is based on. It is so immersive: we see the hardships of the villagers, the Samurai and their code of honour in battle, the horrors of war, and a little bit of humour in coping with life's difficulties. I truly enjoyed the strong storyline and acting. The battle scenes seemed raw and realistic. Japanese audio. (There is a 5-minute Intermission.)"

"The ultimate team up movie. 😂 "

"I was nervous about the runtime, but thanks to the the unexpected humor and philosophical one-liners every 20-30 minutes, I was engaged the entire time. There’s something mesmerizing about watching people from the 16th century being sarcastic and cracking jokes. The humor humanizes the Samurai, making them relatable to modern audiences. "

"Simple concept but very well executed. Warning: One scene is very disturbing - a woman loses her virginity and her father does not take@it well."

"Really reeeeeeeeeeeeeealy long. Took me three days to get through it. But worth it."

"A samurai classic, must see!"

"While it's length is nothing to scoff at, it's pacing, structure, and premise make the seven samurai actually quite akin to the plots of today. Plus samurai cutting things is always fun lmao. Those who don't like old or foreign films should obviously be a little wary"

"This should be a staple of ever movie library. It’s a classic for a reason as Kurosawa paves the way for much of the cinematography we have come to expect. "

"First heard of it when I was reading The Crow: The Graphic Novel. T'was my first older foreign film but it was a great start into that niche."
