A samurai answers a village's request for protection after he falls on hard times. The town needs protection from bandits, so the samurai gathers six others to help him teach the people how to defend themselves, and the villagers provide the soldiers with food.

too many sweaty ass cheeks, 5 stars
this is what the avengers think they look like
One of those where you finish it and kinda just sit there in disbelief that this is a movie that exists. Sheesh, what a monster.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"Once again, we survive."
The astonishing thing about Seven Samurai is that it seems far too modern for a film made sixty years ago. As much as I love black-and-white films, it is hard to deny that some films, no matter how good they are, begin to seem antiquated when compared with modern films in their genre.
But Seven Samurai can still compete with action films today. Perhaps its length and the amount of time spent on characterization and story may put off some of the audience, but the film's grip on viewers is undeniable. You can't stop watching it until the end.
The cinematography plays no small part in creating an atmosphere so rich in its historical accuracy, yet curiously modern. Each scene…
“This baby is me, this is what happened to me.”
violence is endless and the repercussions eternal, the flames rage on as the innocents die. however, what Kurosawa also realises is that violence is the coolest thing that you can ever capture on celluloid. that central dichotomy, the merging of visceral horror and shameful pleasure at the sight of violence, is part of what makes Seven Samurai so timeless. one second, you’ll witness the sadness of a dying innocent, the other you’ll be cheering the slaughter of an enemy combatant. either way, a mother loses their child, a child loses their father.
It is the best movie ever made.
Yep. I counted
Total ripoff of A Bug's Life (1998)
I could very easily be a contrarian here and say that this was exhausting, overly long, and not particularly enjoyable, but I'd be lying. I had gone in as somewhat of a sceptic due to its reputation; however, it's safe to say that my scepticism wavered fairly quickly upon pressing play. This was monumental. I felt as though I was watching a documentary due to its authenticity and realism. A blockbuster on an unfathomable scale that never lacks excitement or the use of complex emotion. Beyond the potent philosophy and depiction of human emotions, this was surprisingly very enjoyable. Pretty much the blueprint for big-budget action films. Everything is perfect, from the set-up to the (deliberate?) anti-climactic ending. This is a rare occasion where such immense praise is more than warranted. What a picture! What an experience!
4K Restoration got this shit looking better than 90% of movies of this decade
Absolutely perfect film. Not a single frame here that isn’t a masterclass in visuals
The simple yet powerful story has trickled down over the years into every single group of misfit blockbusters you could watch
FUCK I love movies man
oh to be a samurai in 16th century japan. no math no science just swords, rice, and vibes.
