Seven Samurai is a movie about a rag-tag group of veteran warriors, an apprentice, and a man who's only wish is to be a samurai who join together out of the goodness of their hearts to protect a simple farming village from the yearly attack of a bandit gang when the lord of the land will not. I have been and continue to be a practicer of martial arts, specifically Iaijutsu (sword techniques) and this movie more than any other exemplifies the way of the warrior in which he will lay down his life in order to protect someone who cannot. I am a grown man and I can honestly say that there is no other movie I have ever seen that can make me cry openly at its ending. This is a must own for any person familiar or interested in black and white films, Japanese culture, Japanese martial arts, or anyone interested in the way of the samurai, not to mention anyone interested in a phenomenal movie that will remain with you always. I first saw this movie late at night when I was early in my teen years, I waited endlessly when for a quality version of this movie came out and with Criterion, that desire is fulfilled.
What's great about it: Dramatic story, perfect actors for perfect roles, heart-wrenching emotion. A feat of storytelling!
What's not so great: Slightly lengthy but worth every second

From the first time I saw this film many years ago, to the last time, just a few weeks ago, and, all the many other times in between, Seven Samurai has remained one of my all-time favorites of any film genre. This genius of a story, production, and, technique is best described in just one word: great! A true must-see.

A village is attacked by bandits and 7 samurai band together to rid the village of the threat. This is the plot of Kurosawa's arguebly most famous movie. Criterion collection have done an amazing job restoring the movie and it is a pleasure watching it on blu. Just make sute you watch it in 2 sittings, as the movie is more than 3 hours long
