We FINALLY leave L.A….and we do so by crossing the Pacific Ocean to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s seminal film: “Seven Samurai”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss planning missions, the importance of the length, and which of the Seven Samurai would we be? In addition, we ponder over Toshiro Mifune’s performance and whether or not it was too “big” (not unlike his sword). Also, this week Adam recommends the film inspired by this one, “The Magnificent Seven”(available on Prime, Tubi, Kanopy, and many more), Britt recommends another samurai film with “Sword of the Stranger” (available to rent on Microsoft), and Joey keeps it Kurosawa adjacent by recommending “Living” (available to rent on most major platforms).
