What Kurosawa's 7 Samurai Taught Me About Movies

Legendary film director Akira Kurosawa has been my latest obsession. I've recently seen his films; Ran (1985), Ikiru (1952), and most recently Seven Samurai (1954). All three of these films have been logged into my list of 100 greatest films and all three are worthy of their own video analysis. Today, I'm diving into Kurosawa's Samurai epic. A near perfect 200 minute experience that showcases talented performances, passionate writing, and gorgeous visuals. I feel like selecting the clips for this video was the easiest task I've had as a film reviewer. Every second of this film looks beautiful and it was easy to visualize my review thanks to cinematographer Asakazu Nakai. The more time I spend watching and re-watching this film the more I recognize it's influence in films today. I'd recommend watching the film before watching this review!
