Why Seven Samurai?
my friend and i are trying to make it through the afi's 100 best films list, and coming up soon is 'seven samurai.' i was just wondering, for those who have seen this film, why, in your opinion, is it worth [or not worth] such a high commendation?

thank you!
even though you lot love it, i'm still a bit like : kung fu, black and white, in japanese?
more like, how is a person who can't even watch the karate kid and barely made it through crouching tiger hidden dragon be able to do this? two parts? long intermission?
*sigh*

Kung Fu? I can't remember kung fu in Seven Samurai... If you do see it, get the Criterion Region 1 dvd version of the film, it's brilliant, oh and importantly it's the over 200 minutes original.
and what AFI list are you going by because I can't find Seven Samurai on the Best 100 list?
You should go through the BFI Top 100 British films list too, some amazing films on that list.
It's a Samurai film. Lots of action, but none of it Kung Fu. Think warfare and swordplay. It's an excellent film that that has great characterization yet is epic at the same time.

yay! i am reassured. so more like grace and elegance and mastery of the sword then "i was born and there was a prophecy and my name is jackie chan so you can bet your ass i'll be kicking butt as soon as the plot is established."
