Seven Samurai	comment	Seven Samurai is a 1954 Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa under Toho; it starred his longtime collaborators Takashi Shimura and Toshiro Mifune in two of the lead roles. It is considered by many Western critics to be the one of the best Japanese films of all time, and quite a few of them consider it to be one of the best films ever made, period. In any case, it's been a highly influential film for decades.Menaced by an army of bandits and on the brink of starvation, a village in medieval Japan decides to hire a small, motley collection of Rōnin to defend them. Pity they have nothing to hire them with but rice...It has been remade, homaged, or flat out ripped off numerous times, in genres ranging from western (The Magnificent Seven) to science fiction (Battle Beyond the Stars, Samurai 7, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Mandalorian), medieval adventure (The 13th Warrior) and, if you're willing to stretch a bit, anthropomorphized animals (A Bug's Life) and goofy comedies (Â¡Three Amigos!).This film has a serious claim to not only being the forebear to nearly every getting-the-team-together-for-a-mission movie — whether it's a Hitchhiker Heroes, Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, Putting the Band Back Together, or even The Caper — but also to being the first modern action movie. While it wasn't the first movie to use such tropes as dramatic slow motion or a reluctant heroâ€”Kurosawa himself had been influenced by the films of John Fordâ€”it was the first to bring them together in such a way that would be instantly recognizable and familiar to the present-day audience.This film — very frequently appearing in Top Ten of All Time lists — is a Trope Maker or early example for many tropes. But if you want to watch it, you're gonna have to make a day of it — it's three and a half hours long, with an intermission in the middle long enough for a bathroom break.

Seven Samurai / int_120a6a29	type	ArtisticLicenceHistory
Seven Samurai / int_120a6a29	comment	Artistic Licence â€“ History: Played with both ways. The film portrays the main samurai of the cast as men of courage and integrity, but also acknowledges that the majority of samurai were brutal thugs who used their higher social position to oppress the weak. Several of the bandits are implied to be Rōnin, with the leader having a full set of samurai armour and another being a skilled horse archer (something samurai were traditionally trained in). Kurosawa said he did this because he's descended from a samurai family, and wanted in some way to apologize for his ancestor's actions. While the Japanese regard this film as a classic, many were upset at this particular deconstruction.

And unfortunately, this gets GorÅ�bei and Yohei killed in the ensuing attack.

Seven Samurai / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck: Being samurai may put you in the top rank of society, but that doesn't mean much when you're broke. The virtues samurai have sworn to uphold also limit their lifestyle choices, like their choice of employment or spousenote Samurai were in fact forbidden from taking up any vocation at all outside of fighting or serving a lord in a similar capacity; those who owned land lived off their taxes, a few were employed by the government as administrators, and the remainder either went into service to a landlord or became Rōnin. Banditry amongst ronin was rampant, especially during wartime like when the film is set. During the later Edo period, a large amount of samurai families were wholly dependent on a rice stipend from the government to stay alive, and the end of that stipend would eventually lead to a bloody insurrection..

Seven Samurai / int_49fb5ccb	comment	Combat Pragmatist: Kambei shaves his head within his first scene (to samurai, this was a symbol of shame) so he can trick a bandit into thinking he is a monk and save a child. Heihachi mentions how he usually runs away from battle when he's about to die. Other samurai mention less-than-noble (from the standpoint of a samurai) tactics used for survival. The film takes place before the Edo period, when samurai really took Honor Before Reason seriously. When the farmers of the abandoned outlying houses try to desert the militia because they feel marginalized, Kambei threatens to personally execute them rather than let them go, citing that the individual who fights for the individual not only dies as an individual, but endangers the rest of the group (and kills morale before the fight even starts). Kambei stacks the deck as much as he possibly can for the actual battle, reinforcing the town so that there is only one way in for the cavalry and training the peasants to let the bandits in in groups of one or two so they can be ganged up on in the village square and killed piecemeal. The samurai also commit to a night attack and burn the house the bandits are sheltering in while they sleep, which is implied to have killed four of them.

Kikuchiyo, being of both worlds yet neither (as a peasant who wants to be a samurai) is central to this internal contradiction, and lays out a speech pointing out how the samurai ultimately cause the peasants to be equally nasty and underhanded as a response as a survival mechanism to all the nasty treatment they receive from the samurai. Who has it better, the peasants who live normal but undistinguished lives, or the warriors who live exciting but violent lives?

Kambei's moment, in which he shaves his head to impersonate a monk, shows how he doesn't place much stock in honor or ego if an innocent life is on the line. He rubs his bald head throughout the film to remind the audience of it. Kikuchiyo is quickly established as a ruffian and buffoon, who shows up completely wasted in his attempt to join the team of samurai and tries to confirm his identity with a thirteen year old girl's family scroll, earning him nothing but laughter and scorn from his fellows. He gets his moment later on, when he uses a simple false alarm to bring the samurai and the farmer militia together. KatsushirÅ� seems like a simple starry-eyed novice; his Wealthy Philanthropist moment comes when the peasants' rice (their intended pay to the samurai, and rations for the trip home) is stolen, and he donates enough money to cover their costs. GorÅ�bei takes one look at a Schmuck Bait doorway, and immediately deduces what's going on. Kambei is impressed. Kyouzo's moment comes when his unnamed dueling opponent demands a rematch with real swords. In one line he shows utter confidence, compassion, and a certain lack of diplomacy: "No use. You'd die." Heihachi, who is found woodchopping, admits with cheerful honesty that he's not very good as a warrior. Yet he still agrees to join the mission. ShichirÅ�ji is an old war buddy of Kambei's. He's asked to join this nearly suicidal fight simply to fight alongside his friend once more, and he can't say yes fast enough.

Seven Samurai / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: These are not the flawless samurai of poems and legends. They are real, flawed people. In Real Life, being a samurai sucked. They weren't allowed to change jobs to earn money. They could only rely on their martial prowess to make a living. And the possibility of death is very high. The fact that some of the bandits themselves are implied to be samurai only adds to it. The Honor Before Reason trope is symbolically called out during the opening, where Kambei does not hesitate to shame himself by shaving his head, since it saves a boy's life. Peasants are also shown to have their own virtues that the samurai openly envy. Instead of a final, decisive battle, the attack on the village takes several days and includes two night raids, several scouting actions, and the heroes 'winning' the two first days by making the bandits retreat back to their camp after a few casualties. Two of the samurai even die before it comes to the final day. The battles themselves are extremely messy and uncoordinated, and most of the bandits who die do so while running away in fear from mobs of villagers. The final battle, with only a handful of desperate bandits remaining, is quick and the opposite of grand, and takes place in pouring rain with the village full of mud. Before you know it the bandits are all dead and two of the five remaining samurai have fallen in battle. The entire thing is played as realistically as possible, from beginning to end.

No matter what he tries, he looks like an idiot in front of everyone.

The main characters are all clearly used to firearms, and quickly blink out the bandits' arquebuses as the biggest threat, using every opportunity to make the bandits waste their shots or take their arquebuses away from them. Ultimately, all of the samurai who die are killed by one of the bandits' firearms.

Seven Samurai / int_d5ccaec3	comment	Anti-Cavalry: The bandits are all on horseback, and the defenders have to take that into account. Kambei plans for this by building barricades and ditches around half the town, flooding the fields and tearing down a bridge, thus forcing the bandits into attacking by the forest road if they want to get into the town ahorse at all. The villagers use sharpened bamboo poles as spears and even a few looted spears to scare the horses.

However, when they are approached by the oldest woman of the town, who lost every member of her family to bandits and has since been almost unwilling to continue living, they quietly step aside and allow her her vengeance.

Seven Samurai / int_e409de66	comment	Manipulative Editing: How KyÃ»zÃ´ is shown to be such a great swordsman. The actor was terrible at it, but clever editing made him look awesome. KyÃ»zÃ´'s actor also had no experience with riding horses. Toshiro Mifune, on the other hand, was a legitimately skilled swordsman and horse rider. In the scene where the samurai ride to scout out the bandit camp, Kikuchiyo was intentionally staged as an idiot with his horse to disguise the other actor's lack of skill. Also when the villagers try to execute the captured bandit, the samurai are holding back the entire crowd. Realistically, there was no possible way the samurai could keep the entire mob away from the captive, but careful close-ups and choreography made it look realistic.

The combined production of this movie and Gojira (budgeted at an estimated $1,000,000) nearly drove Toho into bankruptcy. Some cuts of this film are rather long. For example, the DVD version released by the British Film Institute describes itself as "the most complete version of the film available," and lasts three hours ten minutes.

Seven Samurai / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: This movie subverts or deconstructs many tropes, but only because they hadn't become tropes yet. For instance, the villagers aren't utterly helpless - they simply need leaders. The seven samurai aren't invincible warriors just because they're Samurai. The bandits are murderous thieves, but not faceless Mooks - they're shown relaxing, complaining, weeping in terror as they run for their lives... And, of course, since the Gory Discretion Shot hadn't been invented yet, it isn't subverted. War Is Glorious, on the other hand, is a trope that did exist, and the movie subverted that pretty thoroughly.

Seven Samurai / int_ff070bbd	type	Attack! Attack! Attack!
Seven Samurai / int_ff070bbd	comment	Attack! Attack! Attack!: The bandits attack the village repeatedly over three days, and ultimately decide to fight to the last man instead of leaving to rob an easier target. The final bandit, hiding with the women, still sees fit to shoot at the samurai and betray his position rather than simply flee. This is discussed several times in act 2, with Kambei pointing out that the bandits are likely starving and also probably divided on whether to attack or flee: The bandit leader is later seen executing two of his men for cowardice, implying he's attacking partially out of pride. Most likely, raiding this village was the only way to keep his band together at all.note The American remake The Magnificent Seven resolved this puzzle by stating explicitly that the bandits were starving and had to take the village to make it through the winter.
