Well, you can make a 3-hour movie that's also in black and white, and I've watched it a second time, and it doesn't get boring!
I really like how they try to reveal all the samurai!
And the fight with the bandits still looks great!

The film in April is already 70 years old, and it is still pleasant to watch. There is a bit of a story here, but the characters and their interaction with each other and with the environment. This film has drama, action, bits of comedy and history. The actors played perfectly. Kurosawa doesn't take any crap!

Despite its age, the film is perfectly preserved, although the timing is merciless. A classic for all time

If you've watched The Magnificent Seven and enjoyed it, then you just have to watch this legendary Akira Kurosawa movie. After all, it was on the basis of his plot that the Seven was later made.
