Seven Samurai

Watched at the Music Box as a part of their Kurosawa series.  Easily in the top 5 best movies of all time… dare I say the best movie of all time? Also the only movie I’ve seen that is appropriately over 3hrs long.  Everything is perfect, from the score to the shot composition to the story… I could go on and on. It also has everything you could even want from a movie: action, drama, romance, comedy, suspense, greater philosophical messaging, sword fights, horses, beautiful scenery, compelling character arcs, etc. —and all given in perfect proportion to the plot.  It’s simply a masterpiece of cinema and also one of my favorite films!  It’s a must-watch, preferably on a big screen.
