Let’s start with the conclusion: It’s a lot worse than the Seven Samurai. Although the Seven Samurai watched it for a long time and almost forgot, but I remember watching it very excitedly. The film is a little boring.
1. The characters are not full. Although it took 40 minutes to gather people, there is a little nonsense, which cannot be used to highlight the characters.
2. In the preparation stage, the strategy is not smart enough, which may be related to the national conditions of the United States. Among the Seven Samurai, the strategy is wise enough to resist. This film has explosive ambushes, hidden trenches, high-level sniping, and roadblocks, but it does not highlight the use of terrain and street fighting, and the enemy has no smart strategy at all.
3. The fierce battle is not fierce, and there is no feeling of planning and resisting with a mortal mentality. It gives people the feeling that the enemy has collapsed before we have done our best. This may be because gunfights are not as intense and interesting as hand-to-hand combat. But the enemy's advantage is only a gertling machine gun. This point is very uncomfortable. They are too many to be useful. They are all beaten by this side. Live more than half.
4. It is considered that female characters have been added. Maybe the US emperor does not like the lack of a heroine, and the role performance is OK, but it is not good for a female peasant to show her breasts.
5. The final personal duel was very unexciting. There is almost no suspense, the marksmanship is too bad. And it also involves the personal grievances and grievances of the team leader. I don't think it is necessary. Isn't it good to let him be a hero who serves the country and the people, and this weakens his greatness.
6. The reason for goody's return is very inadequate. Although he knew that he would definitely come back, he couldn't see why. Billy said that the jug was a joke. If it was a brotherhood, he would not leave. And when they came back, it was reasonable to say that they came from the rear of the enemy, so there was no exchange of fire?

That is, the Seven Samurai I watched two years ago, I remember it was still black and white. However, a good movie is a good movie. Even after 60 years, it seems to be full of blood. This movie makes me feel calm as water.
