Title: Too bad the Japanese classics are so pricey
Review: Seven Samurai is one of the best films ever made. I've seen it several times and get a new insight each time. A new insight I had is the famous last battle the viewer actually does not see most of the bandits getting killed. A parade of empty horses convey that when they pass the three surviving samurai. The commentaries are very well done and you have to be a total geek to hear Kurosawa speak for ninty minutes in Japanese (not my language, also I'm white). However, he covers just about every main topic that I'd associate with him. I truly found his talk about surviving World War Two and discussion of Dostoevsky just fascinating.There's also a good overview of Japanese samurai films. I had a lot of fun with this.
