The Seven Samurai, the first modern day action epic, is generally considered one of the greatest films ever made. This is true. This is the Citizen Kane of Samurai films. There is no Samurai film that comes close, and both American homages to it, The Magnificent Seven, are pale imitations. The phrase is often imitated, never duplicated and it has never been truer. From direction. to story to cast - few films can equal this. Worth seeing again and again. Just brilliant.

I'm not too good at writing reviews, but I do know that this film is amazing. Toshiro Mifune's acting as Kikuchiyo is very well done and his character development was groundbreaking for the time. Akira Kurosawa executes shots perfectly. Not only is the cinematography visually appealing but it also accentuates the already amazing storytelling done by the actors and set.Aside from more technical features of this film, it never ceases to entertain. I have seen this movie several times and the first time I worried it would be hard to sit through because classics tend to be slower over long periods of time. But Kurosawa gets right to the point and every scene has conflict and story.This movie is epic, redeeming, sometimes funny, and tragic at times. It'll hijack your emotions and will never bore you. I cannot emphasize any further how great this film is and how important it is for any cinephile to watch. A definite 10/10; Seven Samurai will go down in history.

The Seven Samurai is the most important work in the history of Japanese cinema and was voted No. 1 in the history by the "Newspaper of the Year". Akira Kurosawa fighting scenes are very exciting and realistic pats, Gunma rushed, muddy battles even battle, in the fast splicing, long focal length newspaper and the use of slow motion mirror, all the images come together, exciting, not only change The tradition of Japanese martial arts films, but also for many martial arts films have a profound impact.

Seven Samurai is a movie about a small Japanese village having problems with bandit attacks. Therefore they decide to secure their safety by finding seven samurai who would defend them.First, I would like to say that I have broken a few stereotypes after I have watched this movie. The facts that it is a long movie from the 50's, a Japanese one, and a black-and-white one, rejected me from watching it earlier. I got used to all of these facts pretty fast and just enjoyed this masterpiece.The simplicity of the plot easily bought my full attention, as well as occasional comedy parts which successfully broke the monotony and came as a refreshment. It is interesting finding out how Japanese people were living in those times and it is shown really well. You actually manage to pretend for a moment you have left our advanced world and became a part of their primitive village.I respected Kurosawa before I even watched any of his movies. I respect him even more now when I have watched this great classic and I will surely be looking for something else he directed. The reason why I did not give this movie a 10 is occasional bizarre cryings, runs, deaths, but that surely did not destroy the whole experience.
