  • SPOILER WARNING: My videos tend to give away important plot points etc so I'd advise not watching if you haven't already seen the film. If you don't mind being spoiled, hop right in.
    I've been meaning to start a new feature called 'Twelve Minutes of Gushing', which pretty much speaks for itself.
    I'm personally not a diehard western fan, but The Magnificent Seven (1960) is one of my all-time favourites. Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen at their best, Eli Wallach killing it as a quintessential villain, some interesting ideas on the nature of heroism and bravery...
    I've also gone and set up a Ko-Fi page, so if anyone wants to be my sugar daddy...

    The Magnificent Seven is a brilliant film. It says so many things in so many ways. Brilliant dialogue.

    One of the few films of its era (and genre) that doesn't have too many cringe moments when seen today. The wonderful early scene of 'Never rode shotgun on a hearse before' is perfectly shot, acted and edited . Surely one of the best scenes in film history.

    This video deserves way more views than it has, its a very great assessment of The Magnificent Seven. It's still beloved by people who've watched it and fans of westerns but it feels like it's being forgotten by newer generations. It holds up as a very good film and I think has actually gotten better with age. As its themes sort of interrogating and deconstructing the archetype of the cowboy are like a lot of later media which interrogate the tropes we love. I wish more people could see it so I could talk about it with more folks, its such a good movie.

    Damn. That last quote from Yul Brynner made me tear up a bit.

    So...
    -Magnificent Seven is cowboys.
    -Seven Samurai is self explanatory.
    -Timeline 191 has The Seven Paladins which has knights.
    -How might this "seven saviors" premise work with Union soldiers?

    I love Antoine Fuqua's 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven!

    Great review. You even managed to see nuances that went over my head. I'll watch Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven again because older movies are the best. IMHO

    Robert Vaughn (the fancy one with 2 guns who is a coward or burned out with PTSD) is the best character. He's one of my favorite characters. If they made American Psycho in 1960 Vaughn would have Christian Bales role. He always looks so normal and put together but one tiny crack and youll see something else

      Theory question. My interpretation of his character is that he's actually a Conferderate deseter from the Civil War and is haunted by that and maybe his recent relapse as a gunfighter. That's how I saw it

    I grew up with Classic Movies, 10 commandments, The Great Escape, Spartacus etc.
    Love this movie and Theme Music is amazing!
    The story telling is so Great!
    I can't stand the remake.

    One of my personal favorites, as this film was an amazing story of seven strangers coming together to help a town learn how to defend itself. The musical score should be immortalized, as it is the sweeping call to adventure with every beat. And the villain of Calvera, performed brilliantly by the late Eli Wallach, is one of the greatest film villains of all time, for though he was a bully, he wasn't a coward, did care about his men, and had the moment where he did beat the heroes to give the movie the edge that many present-day films lack.
