Even if you look at it now, the Seven Samurai is always a classic forever. The seven people represented the seven noblest virtues of the samurai class. Even if they died in the end and retired, they still left the rich son who represents the future of the samurai class. The plot and fight of the whole movie are at the top of the pyramid even in this era of extremely sophisticated special effects. The 206-minute movie actually takes up a large part of the time, but its advantage is that it has enough time to introduce us to the three-dimensional and vivid characters. From farmers to samurai, dozens of people with different personalities and experiences are clearly remembered by us. It is difficult to reproduce the portrayal of the characters in the movie. From a metaphorical point of view, the film is also a top class, whether it is the solidification of the class indicated by the image of peasants bowing at the beginning, or the emotional expression of the samurai leader Shichiro at the end of the film, "the ultimate victor is only these peasants". The ridiculous and ridiculous embarrassing situation of the samurai class that could only be used as a tool in that era has deeply penetrated the hearts of the audience and has become a common problem for us.

Among them, the question by Kiku Chiyo became one of the most famous lines in the history of film: "What do you think of farmers as Bodhisattvas? It is a joke. Farmers are the most cunning. Mai again said no. In fact, they all have them. Open the floor and look at them. They are in the storage room if they are not underground. You will surely find a lot of things, such as rice, salt, beans, wine... Go and take a look at the deep valleys. There are hidden ones. Rice fields. Faithful on the surface, but the most lie, no matter what they will lie! They will kill the retired soldiers to grab weapons as soon as they fight. The so-called peasants are the most stingy, the most cunning, cowardly, bad-hearted, low-powered, and they are murderers. But who makes them change. It’s you, it’s you. Samurai, you all go to death! Burning villages for war, ravaging rice fields, arbitrarily laboring, humiliating women, killing rebels, what do you tell the peasants to do? What should they do?" In the year, Zhiwen Dao dying looked at each other and Yi Zi was eating, analyzing the skeletons and claning ears. Today, living people are slaughtered for the sake of day and night. Father and son do not ask questions, couples do not ask questions, brothers do not ask questions. The heart is cut by a Caesarean section. There are even those with human flesh in the market at the price of six liters per catty; those who pickle human flesh at home for emergencies; those who cut their heads and boil them with fire and suck their brains; those who are hungry but all have knives and cut them. People; there are also those who will cut their flesh and stare at people. Sometimes people are banned, and I should say:'I don't cannibalism, people will eat me. 'Foolish people are not to blame. "

No matter whether it is a small country or a large country, such things are always happening. Therefore, the scope of application of this sentence is not limited to the movie The Seven Samurai. It can be used in different periods in the history of various countries. Why is the peasant's situation so miserable and embarrassing in all times? This should also be Questions that we think deeply.

In general, the Seven Samurai should be a movie that all of us should watch again, and should be seen and felt often. But whether you like this movie or not, the katana standing on the grave should be deeply remembered by us.
