"The Magnificent Seven" mentioned this time, regardless of the storyline, cast, and western flavor, I personally think it is "superior". Let yourself gallop in this vast western war.
"The Magnificent Seven" is hard not to be reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", the same seven people, also defending their homeland, the difference is the time setting and environment setting, from Japan to the western United States. Of course, this work did find inspiration from the "Seven Samurai", and then materialized, thus giving birth to this western movie. I personally feel that there are many things to watch, let me explain them one by one.
Scored by professional institutions, it belongs to the average level.

Aspect 1, actor
Denzel Washington plays Chisolm. As Hollywood's leading black male star, his acting skills are of course no problem. Winning an Oscar is the best compliment. Chisolm in the film is a hated cop, the leader of the 7, and of course he takes the job (fighting off the Bogue gang), in part to avenge his family.
Chris Pratt plays Faraday, best known for his role in Jurassic World. In the film, Faraday is slick, but has a good skill. At the last moment, he hangs up and blows his machine gun.
Ethan Hawke, who plays Goodnight Robicheaux, needs no introduction. After all, he has been famous for a long time. The sharpshooter Goodnight in the film once quit the group of 7, but eventually the killer awakened and came back to resist the Bogue gang
Lee Byung Hun plays Billy Rocks, one of the few Korean entertainers who have set foot in Hollywood. Although the role orientation is slightly similar, it is not easy to stand firm. Billy Rocks and Goodnight in film as sniper duo
Aspect 2,
the rich western style of the picture blows in the face, and the cowboy plot penetrates into the depths of the soul. Such as heroic cowboys, justice sheriffs to eliminate violence, exorcise evil, and maintain law and order. Such as desolate towns, silent streets, humble taverns, isolated mines. Such as the gunfight with the characteristics of the wilderness, the cowboy draws the gun to confront and shoot, and the typical ultimate confrontation between a man and a man.
Aspect 3, the music,
especially the last part, many people said that this is not the background music of the previous "Marlboro" cigarette advertisement, um, yes, to be precise, this music originally belonged to "The Magnificent Seven" (60th edition) ), because "Marlboro" was only borrowed for a while, but who would have thought that it was "borrowed", but this piece of music was widely circulated, and it was far more famous than the movie itself
Written at the end, a few confusions about the plot
1. Except for Chisolm, the addition of Faraday makes people feel reasonable, one is for revenge, the other is for money, and the reasons for the participation of the others are puzzling
2. The inner shaping of the characters is lacking , is not attractive enough, the quality is less than
3.7 people, and there are only 3 people left, black, Mexican, Indian, what do you mean? White people and the only Asian bloodline are wiped out? Why? Are you promoting human rights? I don't quite understand the original intention of the
