The Seven Samurai is greatly influenced by American Westerns, in which the seven Samurai's split appearances and distinct personalities are closer to the individual demands of the Americans, not like the reserved Japanese.
The narrative of the Seven Samurai is fast-paced, relaxed, energetic, and has many entertainment elements. Traditional Japanese samurai movies are slow and gloomy. The climax is usually brewed until the end, and those who are not used to it find it a little dull. Compared with "Seven Samurai", the narrative of "Spider Reeling City" is closer to the plot requirements of the rhythm of traditional Japanese dramas.
The accompaniment of the Seven Samurai is basically all Western musical instruments, and there is almost no Japanese silk and bamboo. This greatly changed the style of the film, and a film lacking traditional Japanese music would never come close to Japanese tradition in any way.
When Kurosawa was shooting this film, the Western theater concept was deeply ingrained in his heart. In fact, many of his samurai films are closer to European and American culture, but he borrowed the Japanese samurai coat, and "The Stick of Heart" borrowed "Red Dead Redemption". "Chaos" borrows Shakespeare's "Macbeth", and it is no exaggeration to say that Akira Kurosawa is a complete "foreign soul and talent".
