No director has even come close to beating this director talents and insight.

***** please. The movie was dope. I wasn\'t comparing it to any other movies, so I don\'t know why you brought them up. Forrest Whitaker is a much better actor than any old b&W kung fu movie has ever had.... sorry if it was more cerebral than \'chop-chop\'....

No you didn\'t!

It was not a kung fu movie, no chop-chop.

Valor, honor, love, comedy, hatred, evil, helplessness, fear, all in Seven Samrai. Don\'t dis what you haven\'t seen. This is the movie that started all movies.

Errr,

Birth of a Nation
Alexander Nevsky
Battleship: Potemkin
The Grand Illusion

etc etc... All predate The Seven Samurai

Actually I love Akira Kurosawa. Do you like Hidden Fortress? I remember seeing Ran when I was a kid and I was totally blown away. As some may recall, The Seven Samurai was remade as The Magnificent Seven, and Yojimbo was remade as A Fistful of Dollars.

One of my favorite directors is Wim Wenders, and my favorite film is Paris, Texas. It\'s beautiful and sadly powerful. Stunning cinematography by Robbie Mueller. Wenders is planning a DVD release later this year! Here\'s one few have seen by Michael Cimino: Year of the Dragon. It\'s so cool.

Oh yeah, I\'ve got to say this: Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is utterly brilliant! Jim Jarmusch is an awesome director. You should all see his other films like Down by Law and Night on Earth and Mystery Train.
