Seven Samurai

Crises are real while the coinciding fear is artificial, only pestering to deter a people from their right to live and only repelled through collective action. It’s much funnier a second time around. Beyond the richness of the plot that I (poorly) outline in my prior review, the script also works in such perfect concert with the performers in creating a revolution of the role of the actor in delivering a varied-yet-consistent character and not just an image or mere lines from a script. Spellbinding, essential 3.5 hrs of your time.
