The first half is so interesting, I really like Kurosawa's shots, it's very fascinating.
The first half is mainly about the origins of the Seven Samurai, from the helplessness of the villagers, to the search for the Samurai... Very interesting, I laughed out loud several times. It reminds me of Liangshan Heroes for a while, the Eye of History for a while, and guerrilla warfare for a while.
In the second half, the samurai fell one by one, and although they won, they were not happy at...

Although it looked a bit bloody and cruel, this movie made me have a question: Does it have to be a life-and-death relationship between humans? Even though we may be overwhelmed by fear and have the idea of destroying the opponent, can we regain some sanity in the face of the individual besieged when we have the ability to be equal to the opponent? Can we no longer be confined to the life-and-death relationship with you from the narrow perspective of violence against violence, and sit down...

Some people's thinking is stubbornly outdated and cannot be changed. The blindness, indifference, and onlookers of the group are like the rabble, sometimes covering up the seeds of light.
The surface is loyal but the most stingy, cunning, cowardly, and bad-hearted.
The more humble people are, the more they will bully the more down-to-earth people. The villain's heart is a gentleman's belly
. The depiction of human nature is intricate, and
the samurai who...

My understanding of Japanese samurai has always been ambiguous. I used to think that he was just like a Chinese knight, but later I thought he was different from a knight, because knights always give people a sense of wandering and loneliness. It is disdainful of the government, and the samurai seems to have an inexhaustible relationship with politics. Looking at it this way, the warriors are somewhat similar to the "Three Thousands of Mencius Lord" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the...

[207 Minutes (Remastered Version)] The black-and-white screen feels particularly original and retro, but such a technology can produce such an amazing movie, which makes people sigh at the director's profound skills.
The film fully expresses the sadness, helplessness and inferiority of farmers in the background of that era. They have to pay taxes to the government, but the government can't protect them; robbers also come to rob food and even women from time to time; they want to protect...

This is definitely one of the coolest movies I've ever seen! In terms of the script, it is almost a movie’s ability to portray the protagonist group’s image as complete and full as the maximum capacity, not only in line with practical considerations, but also full of philosophical thinking in the lines and plot trends. On the camera, there are frequent subjective shots and near, medium and long shots. Switching is not messy, the position of each protagonist is carefully revealed to the...

Akira Kurosawa is one of the greatest film directors to express rain: ... the angles of the framing often form a flat picture, accentuating those uninterrupted side movements. No matter how large or small, if people think of Japanese topology, it is easy to understand this important rhythm-space: ... people do not go from the unknown object to the basis for determining it, people start with all the basis, and then point out the unknown The boundaries of the object. //Gille Deleuze, Film 1:...

I like the part about recruiting samurai in the first hour. The seven samurai gathered together like this, laughing, beating, and scolding. It is warm and beautiful. Compared with that, the last two hours are too tragic and solemn. Maybe this is what Kurosawa Akira intended....

Old Woman: I don't want to live any more. But I'm afraid the next world will be terrible, too...
Heihachi Hayashida: No, no. It's paradise. No bandits or anything. It's very nice.
Kikuchiyo: [loudly] How do you know? Ever been dead?
Heihachi Hayashida: [to Kikuchiyo] You needn't yell at me.
Kikuchiyo: [to Rikichi, who is spending the night in the stable] It's me. I'm sleeping here from now on. Those guys cramp my style.
[Rikichi starts to hurry out]
Kikuchiyo: Stop cowering, you idiot! This is your place! You hand over your house and sleep in a barn and you still can't stand up for yourself! Go back to sleep!
[He grabs the startled farmer and hurls him onto the straw. He lies down on the straw himself, beside Rikichi, with a straw mat over his body for a blanket. He sighs]
Kikuchiyo: Brings back memories.
[Kikuchiyo helps Kambei carry the body of the wife away, while he holds the infant]
Kambei Shimada: Let's go!
[He looks back at Kikuchiyo, who is standing in the middle of the river, stunned]
Kambei Shimada: Damn it, what it is it now?
[Kikuchiyo suddenly sinks to his knees, cradling the child]
Kikuchiyo: This baby... It's me. This is just what happened to me!
[He sobs]
