Anyone in Houston interested in going, Fri. ????
This is the first action movie as we know it made. Akira Kurosawa deserves a lot of credit for his influence beginning with the early spaghetti westerns and all the way through Star Wars. The Magnificent Seven was based on this move.

The Seven Samurai
Directed by Akira Kurosawa
Japan, 1954;Black & White
206 Minutes
"The Seven Samurai stands as the most popular Japanese film ever made. How did this relatively simple tale of 16th-century samurai hired to protect poor farmers from pillaging bandits come to resonate so deeply? The film works as a populist adventure, melding history and myth, humor and tragedy; as a study of human and class relations, enacted by an ensemble cast led by Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura; as sheer entertainment; and as a piece of virtuosic craftsmanship. Kurosawa´s epic became the gold standard for the samurai picture." —from the book Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films |
