Kikuchiyo's speech is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. It helps for context to have some knowledge of the Sengoku Jidai period of Japan
Mifune just goes for it in that scene. I used to show that scene to people and say "See that? That's fucking ACTING!!!!" Such an amazing onscreen presence and such an expressive face. He is amazing in Drunken Angel too, as well as pretty much all of his other movie roles. Drunken Angel is special because it is his first role with Kurosawa. Also has what I think is one of the most realistic fight scenes ever in it.
I enjoy the subtext of Kikuchiyo lying about being a samurai, but willing to risk his life for the village regardless. It demonstrates that the spirit of a samurai is derived not from the title, but from the spirit to do what is right -- even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Yes. His life shows them the error of the rigid class/caste system.
He wasn't born as a Samurai, but he lived and died like one.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode Bounty Hunters is also based on Seven Samurai.
One of my top three favorites of all time.
One of a handful of films I could watch, and rewatch endlessly and be excited about it each time.
It's just so magical and epic.
Which are your other favorites?
One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Thank you for reviewing this. I hope others can get past the point it's subtitled and in black & white and enjoy the movie.
True that. I first saw this in like 1967 =:-O ... On every viewing I become completely immersed, I don't even notice I'm reading the titles. Dubbing would not improve this movie.
@@inyobill I agree, I think dubbing would ruin it. I saw this movie first in 1996 and since then have recommended it to so many people and I have only had one person actually watch it after I recommended it. Most folks can't get past the fact that it is in black and white, it's 2 and a half hours and subtitled. I even have multiple copies first on VHS then on DVD so I could loan them out. Always got them back with a "Sorry I didn't get time to watch it" Which is a shame because it is my favorite movie of all time. Oh and the one guy I did convince to watch it got a tattoo of the samurais banner from the movie, so I think he liked it.
@@chauncymcbaddassOriginal movie 3hours 30minutes
"Careful editing?" The best edited movie ever.
The most perfect cinamatic presentation I have ever seen.Kurusawa knew the complete philosophy of Cinema.He has defeated Hollywood in making great movies....
Has anyone seen High and Low? A terrific movie
Yes. Left me speechless in my seat. With the feeling I'd seen society's fabric through a magnifier within these two and a half hours.
Hell yes! I was at the edge of my seat.
This has always been my favorite movie
Wow, this film seems incredible. I'm going to check it out asap.
+Zeithri where to download these movies
Zedek It’s widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. It’s often regarded as the #1 foreign movies of all times (not that American films are the best).
Kikuchyio was easily my favorite character not just because of story reasons but also because he still kicked ass and he wasn't even a samurai
😎
These are really good. This film has been on my personal top 10 of all time for ages, but for a long time I wasn't able to explain why I found it so compelling. Somehow it was just alway obvious to me that I was in the presence of greatness whenever I watched this film.
I've watched a lot of Seven Samurai reviews on TH-cam. This was definitely one of the better ones. Great job.
THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE
Brilliant analyse, Leon!
I've watched and enjoyed most of Kurosawa's work and Seven Samurai is no exception. Even for as many times as I've seen it you still managed to analyze some aspects of it that I had never noticed or considered before, so thank you! I have so many movies queued up to watch, but now I want to go and watch Seven Samurai once again!
Looking forward to the next episode!
Mad Madigan; yes the review bringing in Japanese history was very clever.
This is my favorite film ever.... Time for me to buy it again because I keep lending it out!
This was a great and interesting analysis of a great and wonderful movie.
You're observations and explanations are wonderful!
Watched this movie so many times, great review.
You take a film, and you make it more. Thank you.
Great review Leon. I've been excited for your Kurosawa reviews.
Woot! Been looking forward to this and you did not disappoint. Can't wait for the next episode!
Best. Movie.Ever.
if you ever liked a movie. this should be a movie you liked.
Initial background music... I hear that tune almost everyday in a phone game called Merchant.
Funny how the biggest and burliest of the samurai, Kikuchiyo, chose a girl's name at random from the scroll.
That's right, Kikuchiyo is a girl's name. That's why Kambei was laughing so hard.
Kikuchiyo is not always a girl.
In medieval Japan, boys had girls' names.
It resembles the habit of boys pretending to be girls in medieval Europe.
They were laughing because the date of birth on the scroll would have made him 13yrs old, one even counted it out on his fingers.
wasn't the name he picked supposed to be a 13 year old boy?
Enjoying your vids very much. Great work.
I love this movie! great video, keep up the good work
Kurosawa month, interesting, hopefully Ran is one of them.
Of course, Red Beard would also be interesting due to it both been his last black and white film and the last he worked with Mifune.
+iniudan Yes, Ran is one of them, but not Red Beard
Seven Samurai is the best movie in the history of the world
I agree on where you said this film is the technical masterpiece, but I don't really know whether a dude was such a philosophical on the subject or not. One thing I can tell is that he might've enjoyed duplicating the western through the filter of eastern culture though. Just for your geeky enjoyment, have you notice there is dry weed tumbling, often seen in the western, across a street of old Japanese village when the dual between Sanjuro & Unosuke is about taken place in "Yojimbo".
Wow, beautiful video
I hope to see Rashomon in the Kurosawa Month
Another fantastic analysis Leon!!! Akira Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors of all time and inspires me so much. Seven Samurai is one of my favorite films ever! I was wondering why you chose to have a Kurosawa month? I can't wait for the Yojimbo analysis next week, but what about Kurosawa makes you want to critique his films?
My favourite film pretty consistently since I first saw it 55 some years ago. I am lured away from time to time by something new and shiny but 'new and shiny' is rarely more than a passing fad. A great film, and the fact that it feels like half the length of the first Pirates Of The Caribbean film says it all.
ps - please don't worry. No Pirates... film has been near my top 100 never mind higher :)
Akira Kurosawa's ancestors were Samurai.
Thank you man!
Good review
Excellent
Ok dude that thumbnail...I instantly saw the title art from Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Now I know there was some inspiration behind it lol.
I just finished ghost of tshushima and now I'm super interested in samurai lol
Galaxy Quest is also the same story.
And then eventually came a 26 episode anime remake called Samurai Seven.
I'd like to see the entire movie
ok, but... WHICH SCENE IS THAT THUMBNAIL FROM?! I rented it on youtube and couldn't find it! that composition is AWESOME
I first saw the anime Samurai 7 before knowing that it was inspired from the Seven Samurai. Interestingly, i got fond of Kikuchiyo in that anime, same thing with Kikuchiyo in the film.
Hopefully, you'll cover Yasujiro Ozu one day as well.
This one of the films on my Must See list. So far, the only Kurosawa films I've seen are Hidden Fortress (which I thought was kinda meh) and Rashomon (which was excellent).
cheezemonkeyeater I agree, Hidden Fortress is pretty mediocre by Kurosawa standards. Throne of Blood is excellent as well as Rashompn and Ran.
@@RabbitShirak mediocre? talk about hyperbole. That film was also amazingly crafted.
It's a popcorn movie made by a genius.
Yojimbo
Great Essay.... please look up 13 Assassins 2010 by Takashi Miike this is one of the few Movies i think that comes near this Masterpiece of 1954
Man I wish I could analyze a movie like that...
Great!!!kurosawa,the legend,arigato toschiro samurai⛩🎎
My grandfather was part of the occupying force during the occupation of Japan. He did what he could to make as many friends as possible. He taught them about western dentistry (he was a medical officer, not a soldier) and did tried to "modernize" them, notably inviting the women to walk with and eat with the men.
Great video! Anyone happen to know the song that plays in the background during the final portion of the video?
I thought “A Bug’s Life” was an original story until I saw “Seven Samurai”
Kikuchiyo's argument about the samurai not only refers to the warrior class at that time but also the one who defeated Japan during World War 2: the U.S.A. who is now the world's police force (kind of like the samurai at that time). The farmers who became animals because of the samurais' wars are the victims of the war caused by the U.S., whether through colonization or just invasion.
got a lucky pause at 4:47 upon rewind. the reflexes necessary, even with knowing, are immense. omg that was some skilled blocking/deflecting to submission. this is why asian stunt actors have to slow down for their american counterparts. or anyone else for that matter.
George Lucas even borrowed the wiped from Kurosawa
What song is playing in this video
🤘
I know there are a lot of different adaptations of Seven Samurai but I think you forgot one of the most important and unique adaptations of it.. Samurai 7, both the Manga and Anime Series.
Facts. It was a fantastic adaptation of the movie and didn’t lose any of the originality.
Can anybody analyse the scene in which the people having houses outside the village start to protect themselves only and the samurai stopping them
To me Shichinin no Samurai is the greatest film ever made. Every time I hear some wonk claim that Citizen Kane is the greatest I sneer a bit. Tell me the truth.. can you today sit and watch Kane from first to last? Truth. It's boring. Every thing Kurosawa did is insanely brilliant but the 7 is his masterpiece. Shimada Kambei defines the martial spirit better than any character I've ever experienced. You of course will think what you think but to me, as I said, this is the greatest film ever made.
Was wondering if I should watch this old-ass movie that's topping the IMDB ratings. You convince well.
PS: you still need to convince me about 12 angry men.
Renegade Cut u got me wrong. What I'm saying is you convinced me to watch an old movie, now make another review to motivate for another ;)
what is your opinion of the new magnificent 7 film with denzel and chris pratt ?
***** oh wow i wasn't expecting a response from you that fast, let alone a response at all. as someone who had his father show him seven samurai i can say that the film in not a master piece like kurosawa's movie. but it was a good time and i liked it from beginning to end.

KUROSAWA MONTH!
Even if 7 Samurai had not been so influential on Hollywood, it, like many of the greatest Japanese films whether by Kurosawa, Ozu or Mizoguchi or others, would stand as a masterpiece.
I don't think everything is based on kurosawa his movies, cause there are older stories in religions and mythologies that do the same thing. He was just the first to do that successfully when it comes to movies.
Too bad several Japanese people are forgetting their culture. Now, Japan is like a clone of America.
If I could go there, I'd happily watch a Kabuki play with a cup of green tea in my hands. Instead of watching a baseball game with a McDonald's burger
Zeithri
I've read articles saying that the Geisha, one of the country's most iconic figures, are fading away
Zeithri
Here's hoping, even in the movie "Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword;" a character makes a quote about how technology is swarming the culture while all the old traditions are fading away
ShinXari
I wonder if his influence did well in helping the young Japanese remember their heritage
ShinXari
I wonder why Japan chose to neglect its own history?
As the saying goes, a person who doesn't understand the past won't have a future or those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it
ShinXari
Hopefully, the same revival boom can happen all over the globe
