wow i just saw it. it was long but it was good.
anyone else feel the same?

**Justinian** · December 27, 2005, 10:57 PM

That describes most of his movies - long but good.

**CrackerMonkey** · December 27, 2005, 10:58 PM

You mean the Kurosawa movie, right?
If so, definitely yes.

I can't be bothered to describe it all though. Been years since I saw it.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

**Mr.Flint** · December 27, 2005, 11:56 PM

A Classic... shame on anyone who didnt bother to watch it.... or any of Kurosawa's movies.

**ShangTang** · December 27, 2005, 11:57 PM

A great film. But not my favorite Kurosawa production. That would be Ran or Dersu Uzala.

**Trajan** · December 28, 2005, 12:02 AM

Kurosawa was a genius and all his movies were masterpieces. The "Seven Samurai" is a true classic and this thread reminds me to get off my lazy butt and buy a copy.

But The Hidden Fortress is my favorite.

**Sidus Preclarum** · January 03, 2006, 07:13 AM

It's one of the Kurosawa movie I haven't seen (HIdden fortress being another )

**Søren** · January 03, 2006, 07:27 AM

I voted yes.

It's one of his best ones, IMO. Only suppassed by Ran and possibly Yojimbo

(Hidden Fortress coming very close)

Yeah I really liked it. I remember thinking the same afterwards: "Wow it was long, about 3 hours but it was still very good"

**fallingstar** · January 03, 2006, 03:35 PM

does the seven samurai somehow related to the magnificient seven?

**Somethindarker** · January 03, 2006, 03:45 PM

yea i saw that movie a long time ago and its very good.. another good one is the miyamoto musashi movies all 3-4 i can't remember how many there were but it was good.

**subedei the great** · January 03, 2006, 03:54 PM

ehh i really disliked ran, seven samurai is very very good. I think my favorite is either that or ikiru.

Of all his movies, I only saw Ran, and I rather liked it. I've been wanting to see 7S, but it's damn hard to find.

**big_feef** · January 05, 2006, 09:02 PM

Ran is better; but Seven Samurai is an awesome movie; and a real classic.

**Kanaric** · January 05, 2006, 09:50 PM

Yes, it has the same exact plot as well. Magnificent Seven is the American remake of it in a wild west setting.

Well saying Ran is better doesnt really make sense because they are 2 completely different kinds of movies. Ran is a theatrical drama while Seven Samurai is the epitome of a fun action film, theres laughs theres tears, theres heros and bad guys, and is one of the most unfluential movies of that genre.
