seven samurai (1954)

an action movie co-written, edited and directed by akira kurosawa
a village in abject poverty needs to hire samurai to defend against bandits.
the video was in black and white and in full screen. the audio was in japanese, but subtitles were provided.
check out: the fat samurai. these dudes are supposed to be dirt poor, so why does he have such a gut?
this flick is way oldschool. I've never liked old samurai films to begin with and this one was over 2 hours long. I'm not saying it was bad, but it sure doesn't deserve green text. it just depicts abject poverty so well that it stays out of the red. also, I didn't get the whole thing with the dude finding that the farmer had all that samurai stuff hidden in his house. they needed war gear and there it was. must be some japanese honor thing.
