In Reply to: Good example: I've seen both The Seven Samurai & The Magnificent Seven, the American west version. posted by Audiophilander on January 29, 2004 at 08:05:09:
That is all about that you will not understand. The " Seven " are a unique REAL masterpiece, the" Magnificent " is not it is just an Hollywood ham, it just lost his soul in the process of translation, it has mute and has been mutilated.
You can not do it better.
It was when it came out, just another fun movie...Have you had really had a look recently at it ? I did for and hour...dull..way too long...modestly played...Too bad that you are not in Germany..I would have kill you for that!
I am desesperate at you.

> > > "Have you really had a look recently at it?" < < <Yes, and it's still magnificent! From the acting of leads Yul Brenner & Steve McQueen and it's epic vistas to it's rousing film score, this movie is a classic in it's own rite!
No doubt that the Seven Samurai is a masterpiece, but bores with repeated viewings. The irony is that it's length can be justified even less than the extended versions of each film in the LoTR trilogy. How one can view The Seven Samurai as a masterpiece and LoTR as anything less eludes me!

Too bad you aren't in America, I'd have to provide you with a brutal Three Stooges down dressing, me being Moe and you, Larry or Curly; your pick! ;^)

Well you know the Italian tune......
***How one can view The Seven Samurai as a masterpiece and LoTR as anything less eludes me!Easy. The masterpiece draws you in, you want to continue watching it.
With the rest you want to switch the channel. I flipped chhanenls dozens of times on the Magnificent. One time is more than enough.
It will probably surprize you to no end that I shall side with Patrick on this one.
It is becoming an infernal situation, we MUST find some ways to agree NOt to agree as they so smoothly says....
I fell asleep on Seven Samurai the last time I tried to watch it all the way through; it was like Sominex or Solaris (either version)! Lord of the Rings, OTOH, was rich, riveting entertainment that has never bored me, my wife or our friends. In the case of Seven Samurai, I found myself needing to stretch, go to the kitchen to make sandwiches, take breaks and grind coffee to stay awake.Perhaps if I'd made my sandwich with Grey Poupon instead of spicy mustard I might've made it through Samurai again, but instead I found myself considering Harakiri! ;^)

It would have take the pain I would have to ...slowly but steadily strangle you....
;^)
It will come back as sharp one can be.
I promess.
...if your wit is anything like your whet-stone, how can I trust it? ;^)AuPh
