@@eramires using the word farmers versus peasants, changes one of the many themes of class and poverty in the film. By adding farmers, it doesnt separate the samurai and farmers. But adding peasants, does because its the lowest class winning their own battle by coming together over the upper class. Means more that way instead of just farmers and Kurosawa wouldve seen that. Normally I wouldn't have cared about the misquote because it happens. But this is my all time favorite film and the exposition is intentionally placed and worded for a reason, like , the framing and character positioning in Harakiri by Kobayshi. Class themes.

I'm 71 and I've watched thousands of great films. The Seven Samurai , which I saw as a young woman is still my favorite of all time. I have probably seen it fourteen times. It is so beautiful. The final battle in the rain is breath-taking. There are striking scenes in every one of Kurosawa's films.

i have been hearing if seven samurai for so long and just recently i watched the movie. Whenever i heard a plot sypnosis of the film, it was always quite simple, “a group of farmers hire samurai to defend their village”. it seemed so simple, and i was worried about the pacing of the film, and was worried i wasn’t going to like it. i decided “you know what, i’m going to watch the beginning of it and i’ll see if i like it. I intended to watch 20 minutes but i stayed for the whole movie. The movie ended, and i sat there in awe. i love seven samurai. if anyone is scared to watch it, please i beg of you, go for it. it is one of the best films of all time for a reason. it truly is worth your time.

I think that's probably the best way to approach any movie. The hell with what others say. Watch 15 minutes and see if it hooks you. I first stumbled across SS way back in the dark ages on a B&W TV while getting ready for bed on a Sunday night, and I was just knocked out. I was a HS freshman or something and I was still entranced. Can't count the times I've seen it since.

@@greggrobinson5116 I think I would be missing out on many great films if I just waited 15 minutes to see if they hook me. Specially when the subject is slow-paced, contemplative dramas, which can be an acquired taste. To be clear, I'm not saying that anyone should force themselves to watch a whole film if they truly are not feeling it at that moment. Often it's better to try another day with a different, patient mood.

Thank you for reviewing this! "Seven Samurai" is a near flawless film. Don't know if you know this but: This film and Godzilla were being shot simultaneously across from each other. Takashi Shimura (who played Kambei was also Dr. Yumane in Godzilla). In fact, several actors that appeared in minor times in this film, also appeared in small times in "Godzilla," including Godzilla himself Haruo Nakajima, who was just honored at this year's Academy Awards "In Memoriam." Had the pleasure and honor to have dinner with him in 2016.

Kikuchiyo was such an amazing character. Kurosawa really developed this character quite well. At first you see him as an annoying jerk then a useless drunk but over the course of the film you begin to see him as a sympathetic character and you can feel his pain and his sacrifice saddens you. All around great character.

That is not true. YES, almost every movie here gets dubbed. However many people as well watch the original movies because they prefer that. Cinemas often will show both versions at different times. - For me however it depends on the movie/ series. With some the German voice actually fits the character better (due to being deeper for example) and so in those cases imho might be actually be preferrable to the original. It is to be noted as well, that German dubbing is very good. It is done by professional voice actors, a different person is picked for each role in a movie, and the studios make sure to Lip sync very well. So it really is more like the (better cases) of voice acting in triple A games, less like the bad dubbing of older movies into eastern european or asian languages, where usaully only one man and one woman speak all roles.

The bandits finally attack the village near the end of side three, over two hours into the movie. When we reached this moment, my brother asked me, "Is this the final side of the laserdisc?" I said, "No, there's another side." He replied, "Good."

The dubbed versions are laughable. But also - the subtitled versions are not all great. The older versions use a more archaic vernacular (eg: calling the bandits "brigands") and are not enjoyable to read, as they come off as not getting the point across properly in their translations. The newer translations are better in retaining our investment in the dialogue and themes.

Had heard about Seven Samurai for years, watched it just now. I couldn't believe how rock solid the script was. The final nugget (Kambei's lines at the end) encapsulated everything in the film so beautifully, so artfully, so subtly, that I nearly cried with the thought of it; with the thought of the altruism, the virtue, and the honor which would be forgotten with time, and the old heroes wasting away with the weight of their sacrifice.
