Movie: "Seven Samurai" (1954)




It is 8:30 now and I finished watching film directed by Akira Kurosawa "Seven Samurai" ("Shichinin-no-samurai"). Actually in my tiny native town in Russia - Arsenyev - every junior school student knows the name of this Japanese director, as here in 1973 he shot his then Oscar-nominated film "Dersu Uzala" ...
" Seven samurai" is truely good movie - good movie about real men, bravery and fate of heroes....
Although it is black-and-white, the video scenes are very beautiful (especially final battle scene under rain is so emotional), and it feels full of color and strong emotions. Main hero - Kikuchi (actor Toshiro Mifune) is one of the best heroes in Japanese cinematography - wild at one side, but sensitive at another... Great movie! Nothing else to say :)
