The one issue I had with any of it was the line that "silent films were still popular at the time in Japan" The only date reference we had was 1910, and considering the first talkie (The Jazz Singer) did not come out until 1929, I do not see how any other form of movie would be possible to be popular during his formative years.

That Seven Samurai is a movie based on the Chinese clssic 'Water Margi', Western genre Heroism Theme. Chinese Classic novel is a very popular in Japan and korea. When East Asians watch this movie, they all think of 'Water Margi'. Not only because he is a great director, but because he knows Asian literature. In Seven Samurai, Kurosawa quotes from an important book: Water Margin. Water Margin has influenced Asian thinking throughout the centuries. As a matter of fact, there is a part where a teacher organizes seven volunteers. (Story composition and plot, character setting, motif) Obviously, an influence on Seven Samurai.

Great video! However, I couldn't help to wonder why you only mentioned three of the great Japanese directors. There is no doubt Kurosawa was the greatest by any definition of the word, with Ozu coming in second and Mizoguchi third, but there is a fourth Japanese director who helped shape japanese cinema during the late 50s and 60s; Masaki Kobayashi. I'd say 'Harakiri' is at least worth mentioning! Thank you for your video. Take care! Cheers

@TrevRockOne 9 жыл бұрын

Alec Eklöw Kobayashi was indeed great, but he was of the next generation really.

@sheppy1994 9 жыл бұрын

TrevRockOne Well yes you're right, that's somewhat true. However, his Ningen no Joken trilogy came out in '59 (only one year after Hidden Fortress). After that he made Harakiri in '62, Kwaidan in '64 and his last masterpiece Samurai Rebellion in '67. I see that these films certainly wasn't as influential as Kurosawa's or Ozu's but they are in the same league as Mizoguchi's. I mean, Ugetsu is a superb film but not any more important than, say, Harakiri.

@Wired4Life2 9 жыл бұрын

+Alec Eklöw I agree with Trev. It's more about time period. It's like, to use astronauts as an example, comparing Neil Armstrong with Alan Shepard. Shepard, as part of the Mercury Seven, deserves to be mentioned as a pioneer in the American Space Program as opposed to Armstrong, who was of the second team or "New Nine".

Who says you can't be entertained and educated at the same time? They've definitely never seen this. Great work, can't wait to see more like it.

I watched Seven Samurai years ago because several people had been telling me about the inspiration for Star Wars, but I completely failed to see the parallels. Thanks for making the connections and context just that bit more clear for an obtuse bloke like me!

ginckgo "The Hidden Fortress" is the primary film that influenced the story arc of the first star wars film, not "Seven Samurai"
