Did they really say “sheeeeyit” in the 1600s? Yes, it was the subtitles, but it seems like they would have had a more clever word for expressing: “I can’t believe my misfortune.” Finally finished watching The Seven Samurai this afternoon. Overall, it was a good movie, but a little too long. Very epic. The hyper Samurai, who used to be a farmer, was just so over the top – he was kind of the Jar Jar Binks of Seven Samurai.

Was it really as good as it seemed? Yes, Ebert, it was. I watched The Manchurian Candidate (Special Edition) last night. Excellent! This movie is completely timeless.
And doesn’t Jude Law look like Laurence Harvey?
This film definitely deserves to be on a “greatest films” list. When you think about the plot, it seems fairly simple and boring, but it’s so real. You can feel their pain of living in poverty and needing the bicycle to have a better future. And the cycle continues. Great movie, and the ending was very appropriate.
75 to go!
Huh? What a weird movie about nothing… I guess that was the point.
