Additional Information

Set in 16th Century Japan, Akira Kurosawa's epic SEVEN SAMURAI follows the plight of a defenseless farming village that lives in constant fear of marauding bandits. The farmers know that when their crops are harvested, the thugs will attack, so four men go to town in hopes of employing samurai to fight for them. However, the poor villagers can merely offer payment in the form of shelter and a daily bowl of rice, and initially only Kambei (Takashi Shimura), a brave elder samurai, and his eager young apprentice, Katsushiro (Isao Kimura), take up their cause. Encountering various nomadic warriors on the streets, they slowly put together his team of swordsmen, recruiting Shichiroji (Daisuke Kato), Gorobei (Yoshio Inaba), Heihachi (Minoru Chiaki), and Kyuzo (Seiji Miyaguchi). Finally, Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune), a scruffy wanderer who has been trailing them, completes the small band of ronin. However, upon reaching the village, the samurai learn that the farmers fear them as much the enemy. Despite the tensions, Kambei and his men slowly train the peasants to defend their village. Eventually the warriors launch a preemptive strike against the bandits, and begin a series of intense conflicts that culminates in a rain-soaked final battle--without a doubt, one of the most stunning sequences in cinema history.<BR>Widely considered to be the greatest Japanese film ever made, Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI is also credited with pioneering the modern action movie. This notion is especially evident in thrilling scenes such as Kambei's rescue of a kidnapped child, Kyuzo's duel, and Kikuchiyo's intensive theft of an enemy gun. Although the film clocks in at more than three hours, the story remains consistently engaging and slowly heightens the tension while providing action, drama, comic relief, and character development. Gleefully running amuck, Mifune gives one of his most renowned performances, imbuing the often comical Kikuchiyo with a surprising streak of melancholy and introspection. However, it is Shimura that anchors the entire film as the thoughtful and courageous Kambei, who stoically takes on the leadership of an almost impossible task. A monumental achievement in filmmaking, Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI is cinematic perfection in nearly every aspect, giving the production its much-deserved status as one of the best films ever created.

Great characters, superb film
I first came across this film back in the 1970s. Famously it was copied as the template for the Hollywood blockbuster 'The Magnificent Seven'. Kurosawa, captures the mood and feeling of 16th Century Japan, with great characters who leap off the screen and into one's lap. While it is essentially a 'lads film' the background story is of everyday people conquering their fears. In this case a small village is constantly being raided by bandits and the local militia are unable or unwilling to help. In this superb film, the villagers decide to hire Samurai to help fight their oppressors, and some of the back story covers the Samurai and their different approaches to life and living. Having found their Samurai they all return to the village, but the villagers are frightened their protectors ... I first came across this film back in the 1970s.

Having found their Samurai they all return to the village, but the villagers are frightened their protectors will rape their Women, again great characters, where even small players are fleshed out into three dimensional people. It is quite a long film, very involved and is ideally seen at least twice, but in fact is one of those that the more you watch it, the more you find is in it. One of the best films ever produced, worth every penny.

The slightly less magnificent samurai.
I should point out that much of this review is how The Seven Samurai compares to The Magnificent 7.A lot of the film takes place at night and there are a LOT of people on show and I found it hard to know who is a bad guy and who is a good guy. Most of the 7 have little development and frankly their American counterparts were better actors. On the plus side the photography is superb and the subtitles very easy to read.I think it is a very good film but not a great one and I do not regret buying it.I should point out that much of this review is how The Seven Samurai compares to The Magnificent 7.A lot of the film takes place at night and there are a LOT of people on show and I found it hard to know who is a bad guy and who is a good guy.

Seven Samurai DVD
This has to rank in the top five of the greatest films ever made, it is the backdrop for the magnificent seven, unlike the magnificent seven this is film shot in between shogun wars which most of the charcaters have fought in, they have achieved differing ranks from a farmers son, ronin to a samurai, the raw emotion is present throughout the film from the men being chosen to the fight in the village. I saw the film two or three times years ago, and the impact it had then and still now is why i chose to buy the film so as i can watch it when ever i wish, which will be many times.This has to rank in the top five of the greatest films ever made, it is the backdrop for the magnificent seven, unlike the magnificent seven this is film shot in between shogun wars which most of the charcaters have fought in, they have achieved differing ranks from a farmers son, ronin to a samurai, the raw emotion is present throughout the film from the men being chosen to the fight in the village.
