Hey new post here, this post deals with the idea of how certain films from other parts of the world have influneced Western cinema, a particular good example is 'The Seven Samurai'. The following plot summary is from Wikipedia.
"Seven Samurai is an Academy Award-nominated, 1954 Toho film co-written, edited and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The film takes place in warring states period Japan (the late 16th century, around 1587/1588). It follows the story of a village of farmers that hire seven masterless samurai (rōnin) warriors to combat bandits who will return after the harvest to steal their crops."
Hmmm sounds familar dont it, well in the West, a film called 'The Magnificent Seven'was released in 1960, which many movie fans and 'film buffs' feel and agree that it is/was heavily influenced by Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai'.
As always feel free to click on the title if you want to read more.
Cheers
Alec.
