Seven Samurai (1954)
Movie
Released
207 minutes, complete restored version. Recruitment, preparation and negotiation make the farmers and hired warriors a community before the battle puts that community at risk. Akira Kurosawa uses the long setup to teach you the village's routes and the different reasons people fight. The action is more gripping because you recognise the spaces and understand how much cooperation has had to overcome.

About Seven Samurai
A samurai answers a village's request for protection after he falls on hard times. The town needs protection from bandits, so the samurai gathers six others to help him teach the people how to defend themselves, and the villagers provide the soldiers with food.
