I saw Seven Samurai movie many times. I really liked it, same as other Kurosawa's work. I recommend it to anyone who likes Japanese history.
Sincerely,
Antonio Bordoli.
Prompted by this thread, I was talking to my friend who is a 4 dvd a week guy and he has the 190min (UK) version.
Very enjoyable. Dont think I would buy it, but well worth a good viewing.

Stunningly good. With my choice of sig, I thought I'd have to pipe in.Originally Posted by PaulM
Has anyone read the BFI book that accompanied some releases of the film? It goes into the sub-plots and looks at the ethical issues that are part of the story. A lot more to it than I fist thought.
Alternatively, just watch it for some cracking fights...
Not I, but it sounds good.Originally Posted by ScottUK
Is "BFI" British Film Institute? I'd like to see if the book is available in any libraries in my area.

"He Who Dares..."
Paul, have you seen the film yet? Any opinions?
Yes, I have. It was really good. I don't really like the beginning where the farmers have lost hope, but eventually they found a way to solve their problems.

Toshiro Mifune plays the role of Miyamoto Musashi in this series based on the highly fictionalized "historical" novel.
