Seven Samurai (1954)<\/h1>\n

I remember when I was recommended Seven Samurai from my friend Kevin McKenzie, who started to watch all the top rated films on IMDb. I remember watching Seven Samurai, and my jaw dropping.<\/p>\n

The characters were so real, relatable, and human. I felt the fullest range and gamut of human emotions.<\/p>\n

The cinematography blew me away. I still remember screen shooting this scene, of the younger boy in the movie, lying in a bed of flowers.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I saw this excellent YouTube video by Tony Zhou, analyzing Kurosawa films and his masterful use of movement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
