Title: The Classic
Review: So much has been written about SEVEN SAMURAI, I am reluctant to besmirch the record with any no-doubt redundant observations of my own. But I will point out that the film's subtitles had two of the odder translations I've come across, namely "sheeyit" and "mollycoddle."While quite long, SEVEN SAMURAI does not test one's patience because of the humor and engaging personalities the film displays. I was surprised that I couldn't watch the film in widescreen, but that is apparently the way it was shot.No matter. It's still a great movie; anyone who enjoys its realistic, unglamorous portrayal of samurai life is strongly encouraged to watch THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI.
