2023-06-03 23:58:08 +0000 UTCI can understand the cultural significance of Kurosawa films but after watching Rashomon & The Seven Samurai I have a hard time with the overacting in his films so have never been interested in watching more of his films.

2023-06-03 16:02:37 +0000 UTCDidn't notice that anybody has mentioned it, but I think you have probably watched at least one of the remakes of this movie. "A Bug's Life" is heavily influenced by Seven Samurai for the basic outline of the plot (though the bugs pretend to be warriors). Some stories are so well done, they have to make a kid-friendly version of it!

2023-06-02 23:06:25 +0000 UTCI think the biggest thing is that movies this old pioneered these themes/stories that led to imitators in the future like the last samurai or the Mando episode.

2023-06-01 22:15:24 +0000 UTCNotably this is considered one of the most influential films by one of the most influential directors of all time Akira Kurosawa. He was a huge influence on many directors like Steven Speilberg and George Lucas. The samurai were one of the big inspirations for the Jedi and Kurosawa movies were a big inspiration for Star Wars. In a interesting story Kurosawa loved American westerns and so made his samurai movies, like this one to be western style stories for his homeland. He was then incredibly flattered that several of his movies like this one were then made into westerns. You have already seen one of the westerns based on his movies, A Fistfull of Dollars, the first of “the man with no name trilogy” starring Clint Eastwood is basically a shot for shot remake of the Kurosawa movie called Yojimbo.

2023-06-01 03:52:19 +0000 UTCIf you thought RETURN OF THE KING was a long movie...but at least this has an intermission. :) THRONE OF BLOOD (1957) makes a good Shakespeare Season watch -- Toshiro Mifune and other SEVEN SAMURAI cast members do a feudal Japanese version of MACBETH. (Although for my money the best and funniest adaptation of The Scottish Play is SCOTLAND, PA. (2001)).

2023-06-01 02:22:26 +0000 UTCAlso, samurai were the equivalent of knights in medieval Europe: professional warriors. But in Europe, where knights owned land that supported them and served whatever lord ruled that land, in Japan the lord owned all the land and paid the samurai who served him a stipend. A "ronin" was a samurai with no master to serve, which meant he was unemployed.

2023-06-01 02:19:28 +0000 UTCFeudal Japan, starting from around the time this film is set, had a legal caste system - a samurai and a peasant girl had no future as a couple, which is why the relationship was frowned upon.
David Conroy
2023-06-01 02:14:00 +0000 UTCHighly recommend seeing more foreign films. Out of Japanese filmmakers, highly recommend Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi, and Kore-eda

2023-06-01 01:24:13 +0000 UTCSo glad you’re getting back into old films again and not to mention world cinema. Definitely hope you do director polls going forward. Say deciding whose work to watch for a series. Like having a poll include Scorsese, Joachim Trier, Ridley scott, John Wayne, Christopher nolan. Michael Haneke, Ari Aster, Hitchcock. Andrea Arnold. Agnès Varda, Vittorio de Sica, Sergio Leone, Akira Kurosawa, Almodóvar, Iñarritu and Kieslowski. We pick whose work you watch. And you’ll watch as many of their films as you can in a week or two. Subpoll for those. I feel that’s the only way you can finally get through all the Hitchcock films and also gain an understanding of how directors evolve over the course of their career. Their style.
