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.

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.
