I thought that the remake of "Seven Samurai" would only be a boring money-making work of old wine in a new bottle. I didn't expect the film to be so amazing in the framing and setting, and the fighting effect was quite impressive. The adaptation of the plot has completely surpassed the level of simple correspondence on the whole, and successfully localized a typical western with a strong local style.
The fly in the ointment: the cowboy with the lone tail is too fierce, and it is suspected that he will not be killed; the big villain has no reason to enter the town when his subordinates are almost wiped out, and there is no reasonable explanation here; the cowboy takes the lead and the villain has a long-standing grievance Rather than pure chivalry and righteousness, the style of motivation is inferior by three points.
In addition, the reason why "Seven Samurai" is meaningful has a lot to do with the two settings. One of the reasons is that the villagers are on the same level as the warriors and villains. In other words, the villagers are also the protagonists. The second is that the relationship between the villagers and the samurai is complicated, there is gratitude, but there are also fear, resentment and jealousy, which can reflect the social status quo at that time. And this film is a lot lighter in color on these two points, so it will be more exciting, but it will be lighter.
