Seven Samurai Review

Seven Samurai by Kurosawa, is rather an action packed film that sustains a small farming village bombarded by marauding attackers,  hires 7 professional Samurai to rid of the dangerous enacted attackers. The movie being 3 and a half hours did make it feel awful dragging, but the cinematography in this film was awfully excellent. Personally, it never really felt like a boring film to me, as I have always been incredibly interested in the art of martial arts and what not. Honestly, regardless of the fact that I’ve been interested in this form of culture, this film was incredible. Seeing this mismatched group of men band together to risk their lives for people they didn’t really respect. The way how the director created character relationships, the way how the movie entices the viewers, and even comedic relief to reel in the situation at times. With this film trailing back all the way to around the 50s, it fascinated me to learn and watch basically the “art” of what it is like to be a samurai. And not gonna lie after this film, I looked around the internet to learn more about this culture. I would definitely recommend this film if you have the time to watch it, it is so worth it!
