if the musicians were trying to make a song of honor, friendship, glory, despair, faith, believe and much much more, then they pretty much nailed it to perfection.
Kyuzo was my favorite of the Samurai.... calm, steady, and composed even in the worst of situations, as lethal as the dreaded black mamba in every confrontation, modest even when he had every reason to brag... that's someone you want by your side when lives are at stake.
Kyuzo had the traits that every man could wish for, calm and measured, determined and merciful, honourable and respectful, physically and mentally fit. These are all fine things that men today should strive to be. Unfortunately women in western society seek the wealth and chatels of a shallow man. And dont give value to status and honour.
One of the Greatest epic movie ever made in the world film industry. Think in 1956's technology was not so developed to the highest level still film maker successful to achieve the correct feelings, music through best actors, musicians, camera man etc. Hats off to the dedication level by all of them to achieve a world class epic film in that era with limited resources. In that Era film was a feeling, dedication and not a business. LOVE FROM INDIA ❤❤❤
This is quite possibly the greatest theme of all time from the greatest movie, this movie is so underappreciated or unheard. I was fortunate enough to see this movie as a child, adoring Samuria I did my chores to be able to watch all of it as I saw it was coming on. I never forgot it. Took me ages and I finally found a "remastered" dvd of it. When nothing else is entertaining I can always sit down and be enthralled to this film start to finish.
Watching Seven Samurai is like a master class in how to make a movie. Every single scene and shot contributes something to the whole, and not one line of dialogue is wasted.
Toshihiro Mifune steals the scenes in almost everything he is....even a movie as incredibly cast as this one. It may have had one of the most bittersweet endings of any film I ever saw.
Whenever I think of this movie, think of the way Kikuchiyo went out. He was stabbed but he gathered the last of his strength to kill his attacker. The best part? It wasn’t super dramatized, it was just raw. No music or nothing. That final shot too. All seven of the samurai in one frame. Beautiful film.
The power, the passion, the sacrifice, the confrontation of inner demons, the loss of innocence, the purity of heart and character showing through when tested. This movie is life.
Kikuchiyo - The man that wins the battle. I like how his less-than-glorious samurai bloodline is turned into an advantage, and ultimately ties the villagers and the samurai into a coherent fighting unit.
"underappreciated or unheard"? Honestly? It's considered one of the best movies of all time. Don't try to act cool saying only you and a few people have seen this masterpiece. Everyone who loves movies has seen or heard of it.
I enjoyed this immensely! Reminded me that one of the reasons why I loved this film was because of the soundtrack! Now off to dust off that old DVD and watch this movie again! Thanks for posting!
superb movie just finished watching it 10 mins ago ... Sad ending, but truly magnificent and now that I'm listening to this at this very moment tears come to my eyes... I think I'll re-watch it in a near future.
Faux, il a été en 1956 un film ruineux pour l'époque et la toho, la société de production qui finançait le film, 500000 dollars. Il fut considéré pendant longtemps comme le film le plus cher de l'histoire au Japon. Heureusement, une fois sorti il a marché du tonnerre.
I lost my vhs copy of this on a bus. I'd love to see this on utube. It is an incredible, incredible, incredible, awesome, awesome, awesome film. It is also incredible and awesome.
Seven Samurai, one of those very very few movies that were actually true perfection, not just phony shallow Hollywood bleeding heart type stuff that everyone seems to praise like "It's a wonderful life", no, all the credit that went to Seven Samurai was well placed. It's true in all times that true genius is often overlooked and dismissed.
Una de las mejores películas en su genero, todo un clásico. Es de las que tengo en mi colección personal. Akira Kurosawa, fuiste un maestro, vives en nuestro recuerdo. Saludos desde Perú a todos los que aman el buen cine.One of the best movies of its kind, a real classic. Is that I have in my personal collection. Akira Kurosawa, were a teacher, live in our memories. Greetings from Peru to all who love good cinema.
i remember when i was like 15 and i was bored to death one night, i was channel surfing and came across this movie.I couldn't stop watching lol.I absolutely love this movie.
Impeccable composition, great music, simple plot, complex characters, awesome symbolism and superb performances. I specially like the use of wide angle lenses and how the personalities of each samurai help to tell the story. This kind of cinema is new for me, yet it feels familiar.
i watched this movie for the first time when i was 7 or 8 with my father, and it just blew me away. and i have it watched it many many times since, but it never loses it's impact or beauty!
Akira Kurosawa seems to have liked John Ford's movies, Russian literature, Shakespeare. The sense of justice in the scene at the Drive-in restaurant of the movie“The Grapes of Wrath"feels something that leads to the movie" Seven Samurai ".
Rashomon is my favorite, Seven Samurai is extremely close, they go hand in hand. They're both masterpieces. I also watched Throne of Blood recently for the first time, great film. Kurosawa's the best
Warlord: "What is best in life?" Conan: "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women." Me: "Wrong, to hear Fumio Hayasaka, emulate Kyūzō (third from rear) and watch Seven Samurai!" If I had to pick one song to play for the ferry man as we crossed Styx, this would be the one that would get me free passage. If St. Peter asks why I should pass, I'd press play on my 80's boom box and this song would open the gates.
definately the Japanese "Citizen Kane". the greatest movie that country ever produced. the 1960 American western "The Magnificent Seven" is an exact re-run with Yul Brynner playing the Takashi Shimura leader role. the other Akira Kurosawa movie copied almost verbatim is his 1961 "Yojimbo". it's basic plot of both Clint Eastwood's 1964 western classic "A Fistful of Dollars" and Bruce Willis's 1996 prohibition era gangster movie "Last Man Standing"
Favorite movie. Huge Kurosawa fan. Best sound track ever. =) Provided I'd rather listen to So Cow or Deerhoof on my off days but, still.. I could listen to this all day.
I dunno man, Mifune is totally amazing and charismatic and I can certainly see why he's everyone's favorite, but I often think when it comes to raw acting talent, Nakadai might be his superior. That man is like a damned chameleon with all the different roles he could play. I'd be inclined to say that his range is far greater.

For me is the same. In second place Shimada Kanbei

I listen to this every morning; reminds me of what is important in life
,,To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women''
Killing Bandits?
Crush your enemies see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of the women!

The best movie I have ever seen. Akira Kurosawa is the samurai of directing. The soundtrack is also epic.
生まれや性格、年齢も違った7人、
共に立ち上がった人々の生き様に憧れます…
特に久蔵の気取らない優しさと少ない言葉に込められた核心、確かな強さは本当に憧れます…!
最近の映画がそういうことを持っていないと思います。特に年齢が違う人は共に立ち上がるのは珍しいです。
@@darkmattergamesofficial 確かにそうです。立派な映画や俳優のパフォーマンスってのは、過去だけにある現象みたいです。
困っている農民ため、わりが合わんでもたった七人の侍たち、気持ち良い映画でした。黒澤監督の人への視線が良かったなあ。築地にあった小新聞社の印刷工場で昼になるとラジオから流れてました。で、昼めし終ると床にドンブリおいてチンチロリン👏👏👏
Watching Seven Samurai is like a master class in how to make a movie. Every single scene and shot contributes something to the whole, and not one line of dialogue is wasted.
I nominate Fumio Hayasaka as not only the best Japanese movie music composer, but one of the best in the world.
Toshihiro Mifune steals the scenes in almost everything he is....even a movie as incredibly cast as this one. It may have had one of the most bittersweet endings of any film I ever saw.
Hayasaka-san was one of the greatest film composers, though he died at a tragically young age. May he rest in peace.
Whenever I think of this movie, think of the way Kikuchiyo went out. He was stabbed but he gathered the last of his strength to kill his attacker. The best part? It wasn’t super dramatized, it was just raw. No music or nothing.
That final shot too. All seven of the samurai in one frame. Beautiful film.

Facts
The power, the passion, the sacrifice, the confrontation of inner demons, the loss of innocence, the purity of heart and character showing through when tested. This movie is life.
このテーマ曲は音楽を担当していた早坂氏が作曲したものですが、テーマ曲を決める段階で候補曲が何曲かありましたが、いずれも黒澤監督が気に入るものでは無かったそうです。
全曲にダメ出しをくらった早坂氏が、
「そういえば…」
と、ゴミ箱から取り出した譜面がこの「侍のテーマ」だったそうな。
Pure cinematography by a great master!
This Movie Means Everything To Me! It is Infinite in Seven Folds. It is Limitless in Timeless Story Telling About Seven Brave Souls.
Am I the only one who cracks a smile when Kikuchiyo's theme kicks in?
Mr. Dropkicker no my good sir. I love it when I hear his song as well.
He's the greatest!!
Kukuchiyo for the win!
Wacky
Favorite character
Kikuchiyo - The man that wins the battle.
I like how his less-than-glorious samurai bloodline is turned into an advantage, and ultimately ties the villagers and the samurai into a coherent fighting unit.

One of the best movies ever, definitely the best soundtrack, I need to watch it another 10 times.
映画音楽史上に名を残す名曲だ。
Powerful film indeed, no one will ever reach Kurusawa's talent at story telling...
侍のテーマも菊千代のテーマも志乃のテーマも全部良いですね！流石黒澤さんの盟友が創るだけ有ります…
最初、この映画を見たのは1966年でした。感動したね。この音楽がわすれられない。
I enjoyed this immensely! Reminded me that one of the reasons why I loved this film was because of the soundtrack! Now off to dust off that old DVD and watch this movie again! Thanks for posting!
I am convinced that Seven Samurai breaks the time/space continuum, watching it only feels like 40 minutes, but 3 and a half hours pass...
One of the greatest films, undoubtedly.
superb movie just finished watching it 10 mins ago ... Sad ending, but truly magnificent and now that I'm listening to this at this very moment tears come to my eyes... I think I'll re-watch it in a near future.
それぞれ自分の中にある何かを守るために戦い、命を賭して守り抜く男達の物語。
This is the song used in the intermission video of the movie.
I love.
Le plus beau film de samouraï jamais tournée. D'autant plus qu'il n'avait pas autant de budget que les block-buster tourné au jourd'hui.

Thank you very much for uploading. :)
Awesome soundtrack from the best movie ever made. :D
El mejor soundtrack de la historia del cine
One of the best movies ever made from any country.
This film is a must own. A true epic masterpiece. If you want to know why we love cinema... Watch seven samurai.
this is kurosawas best work in my opinion
a masterpiece.
This is best work ever in my opinion. The best movie ever!
Rashomon is my favorite, Seven Samurai is extremely close, they go hand in hand. They're both masterpieces. I also watched Throne of Blood recently for the first time, great film. Kurosawa's the best
Ran is my favorite Seven Samurai is very close tho he's made a handful of masterpiece the man's a genius.
Not only is it his greatest work, but it's stands among the greatest works of art ever produced by the Japanese in history.
I whole-heartedly agree. My all time favorite movie, with one of the greatest actor/director collaborations ever known. :)
ヒーロー。まさにこの言葉が合う7人

greatest movie of all time in my opinion
Great great movie so glad it was subtitle enjoyed it every time I watch it hope to see it again soon
野伏りのような近隣諸国に囲まれている日本よ、「侍魂」だけは絶対に忘れるナ❗『七人の侍』を観る度にその様なメッセージを感じてます…😔
Japan stopped to behave like a bandit when the nuclear bombs were dropped. I hope Japanese people learned the lesson.
No other film has influenced me more than this immortal peice of work.

Kurosawa = God of Directors
Toshirō Mifune = God of Actors
Kurosawa + Mifune = Best Samurai Movie Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie have a really good soundtrack.
A timeless classic : )
Очень люблю этот фильм и музыку
great movie, a couple of westerns were inspired up on this film.
definately the Japanese "Citizen Kane". the greatest movie that country ever produced. the 1960 American western "The Magnificent Seven" is an exact re-run with Yul Brynner playing the Takashi Shimura leader role.
the other Akira Kurosawa movie copied almost verbatim is his 1961 "Yojimbo". it's basic plot of both Clint Eastwood's 1964 western classic "A Fistful of Dollars" and Bruce Willis's 1996 prohibition era gangster movie "Last Man Standing"
Formidable partitura de Fumio Hayasaka 👏👏👏👏👏👏
後のマカロニウェスタンのテーマに影響する名曲。
Just realised that they are sanding at those positions how they were depicted on banner
The best theme I have ever heard.
Classic music from a classic film!
man..what a movie...made in 54' and better than all hollywood movies :|...amazing..thx japan for this movie...and for samurais of course:)
Great movie!
Kurosawa: best director ever!!!!
First & Last Best Movie
always loved this music and the movie ofcourse Kurosawa is the greatest
Orgasmic music for an awesome movie, Mifune is unbelievable in it :D
LOVE THIS MUSIC. What a movie!
I love this song. The movie as well.
In the end we are the one who really loses and the farmers who really wins (Looking at the samurai graveyard) 😢
Great to listen to while reading his biography.
thats the beauty of it.

May Hayasaka also be known for his unique piano concerto.
