Title: A True Classic!
Review: Being a fan of great epics,"Seven Samurai" is one that definitely fit the pattern perfectly. It's long (not that it's a major problem in the first place), involves many different ideas (the dichotomy of samurai as opposed to farmers or peasants, the art of combat, and what it truly means to be honorable in a world that is anything but that), and involves many epic action sequences (such as the rain-soaked climax). Ultimately, it's a movie that works on all ends, inspiring many carbon copies, but they all pale in comparison to this brillant work. The DVD itself is not heavy on extra features, which is fine by me. The movie (along with a interesting commentary on the movie and it's creators) is padding enough to recommend this to film aficionados.
