Recently I watched Seven Samurai
.
What incited me to watch that old movie from the distant 1954 was a
list on youtube according to which it is
placed amongst 100 best movies
. The movie is a really slow one and if you like motion, it'll
definitely
break your patience. The first 20 or 30 minutes are the most hardly
one to bear,
in this movie time interval almost nothing is happening.
The whole story behind the movie revolves around a villagers in
Japan in past
time, which had been robbed by a group of felon samurais (In other
words,
there are good and bad Samurais in the movie). The people in the
village are
starving since the samurais has stolen all their rice, which is
their basic food.
People in the village come to the conclusion they need to hire
Samurais to
protect them from the evil doers. But looking for Samurais is a
tough job since,
everything the peasents can provide to the Samurais as a wage is a
bow of rice
3 times a day.
Consequently Seven Samurais bring together, thanks to an initiator
and start
working on various plans on how to protect the village.
One of the Samurai guys is not really but an ex-villiger (quite a
funny guy).
After the crop is gathered the bandit samurais come along to
plunder the
the crops but this time they're not going to meet just a fragile
villagers
as in last years.
Apart from the movie it might be interesting for you to check out
