<div>Tiga samurai yang berhasil selamat, Kambei, Katsushir+i, dan Shichir+iji, berjalan untuk mengamati para penduduk desa yang dengan gembira mulai menanam kembali. Para samurai mencerminkan hubungan antara kelas petani dengan ksatria: walaupun mereka berhasil memenangkan pertempuran demi para petani, mereka telah kehilangan teman-teman mereka dan berusaha untuk tidak menunjukkan rasa kehilangan itu. "Sekali lagi kita dikalahkan," renung Kambei. "Pemenangnya adalah para petani. Bukan kita." Tampilan terakhir dalam film ini adalah kuburan di bukit yang mengarah ke desa. Di kuburan inilah keempat samurai lainnya dan para penduduk desa yang terbunuh dalam pertempuran disemayamkan.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>download film seven samurai sub indo</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/8s6x1hL2Zh </div><div></div><div></div><div>Menurut Michael Jeck dalam komentar audio DVD Seven Samurai, Seven Samurai merupakan salah satu dari rangkaian film-film pertama yang menggunakan alur dalam merekrut dan mengumpulkan pahlawan yang menjadi tim untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu, yang umum digunakan sekarang dalam film-film lainnya, seperti dalam film The Guns of Navarone, Ocean's Eleven, The Dirty Dozen, dan remake film ini, The Magnificent Seven.[5] Kritikus film Roger Ebert berspekulasi dalam ulasannya bahwa alur perkenalan si pemimpin Kambei (di mana samurai memangkas jambul, tanda kehormatan seorang samurai, untuk menyamar sebagai pendeta demi menyelamatkan seorang anak laki-laki dari penculik) bisa jadi merupakan asal muasal dari adegan serupa yang sekarang umum hadir di film-film laga, di mana pengenalan tokoh utama pahlawan tidak berhubungan dengan alur utama.[6] Sedangkan untuk alur lainnya, seperti keengganan para pahlawan, percintaan antara wanita lokal dengan pahlawan termuda, serta kegugupan para penduduk, sudah umum muncul dalam film-film lainnya sebelum ini. Tetapi di dalam film ini, semua hal di atas dipadukan dengan baik.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Sebagai film tunggal terbesar yang pernah dibuat Jepang pada saat itu, "Seven Samurai" merupakan sentuhan teknis dan kreatif yang menjadi film Jepang yang berpendapatan tertinggi dan menciptakan standar baru bagi dunia perfilman. Pengaruhnya dapat dengan jelas terlihat pada film The Magnificent Seven (1960) yang diadaptasi secara khusus dari Seven Samurai. Para samurai digantikan dengan para gunslinger. Bahkan dialog terakhirnya juga sangat identik yaitu "Tetua itu benar. Hanya para petani yang menang. Kita kalah. Kita selalu kalah." Film ini dibagi menjadi beberapa sekuel dan ada pula seri televisinya pada tahun 1998.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Seven Samurai (Japanese: E+aE||pU<E+i, Hepburn: Shichinin no Samurai) is a 1954 Japanese epic samurai film co-written, edited, and directed by Akira Kurosawa. Taking place in 1586[a] in the Sengoku period of Japanese history, it follows the story of a village of desperate farmers who seek to hire r+inin (masterless samurai) to combat bandits who will return after the harvest to steal their crops.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Kurosawa and the writers were innovative in refining the theme of the assembly of heroic characters to perform a mission. According to Michael Jeck's DVD commentary, Seven Samurai was among the first films to use the now-common plot element of the recruiting and gathering of heroes into a team to accomplish a specific goal, a device used in later films such as The Guns of Navarone, Sholay, the western remake The Magnificent Seven, and Pixar's animated film A Bug's Life.[15] Film critic Roger Ebert speculates in his review that the sequence introducing the leader Kambei (in which the samurai shaves off his topknot, a sign of honor among samurai, in order to pose as a monk to rescue a boy from a kidnapper) could be the origin of the practice, now common in action movies, of introducing the main hero with an undertaking unrelated to the main plot.[16]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Kurosawa had a heightened interest in the soundtracks of his films. For Seven Samurai, he collaborated for the seventh and penultimate time with friend and composer Fumio Hayasaka. Hayasaka was already seriously ill when Kurosawa visited him during the filming of Seven Samurai and he died prematurely of tuberculosis on October 15, 1955, at the age of 41, while Kurosawa was filming I Live in Fear, his next film, which Hayasaka was unable to complete.[20]</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>In 1982, it was voted number three in the Sight & Sound critics' poll of greatest films. In the 2002 Sight & Sound critics' poll the film was ranked at number eleven.[45] In the Sight & Sound directors' poll, it was voted at number ten in 1992[46] and number nine in 2002.[47] It also ranked number seventeen on the 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll,[48] in both cases being tied with Kurosawa's own Rashomon (1950). It also ranked at number seventeen in 2012 Sight & Sound directors' poll.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Seven Swords (2005), a Hong Kong wuxia film produced and directed by Tsui Hark, has a plot revolving around seven warriors helping villagers to defend against mercenaries in homage to Seven Samurai.</div><div></div><div></div><div>"Will Take Its Place With the Seven Greatest Films of All Time!".A veteran samurai, who has fallen on hard times, answers a village's request for protection from bandits. He gathers 6 other samurai to help him, and they teach the townspeople how to defend themselves, and they supply the samurai with three small meals a day. The film culminates in a giant battle when 40 bandits attack the village.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This great Various Artists concept album, conceived by The Finnish Progressive Music Association,known also as Colossus, and released by the French Musea Records, after the acclaimed Odyssey - TheGreatest Tale (another masterpiece that was the result of this Colossus - Musea partnership), is aunique work of art that manages to bring back a lot of the 70's magic and feeling to nowadays,through the usage of vintage equipment or 70's sounding equipment and the emulation of the 70'ssymphonic prog composition.In fact, one of the main ideas of the project is to reproduce the 70's Italian prog, what is onlycompletely achieved by one of the two Italian bands, that actually lived the 70's Italian progscene: the Consorzio Acqua Potabile, that used a lots of acoustic instruments, such as violins andflutes, that, besides not being exclusive of the Italian scene, where much more present on the saidscene than in others, such as the English, French or German, for example, alongside with vintageequipment. That, however, does not takes any merit from the other bands, that were able to deliverterrific songs without fully connecting with the 70's Italian scene thing. Besides, theses pieces ofmusic does not appear to be simple emulation of the 70's sound: they are really songs made todayinspired by the 70's progressive rock but they sound unique in their own way, according to the bandmusical orientation and style, since two of the three bands are actually from the 70's (Consorzioand Tempano).The story behind the album (the movie Seven Samurai) is quite interesting: Everything takes placein a countryside farmer's village that a group of 40 robbers want to plunder the harvest, in the16th century Japan, during the Tokugawa Era, when the country endured a long a bloody civil war andthe countryside was overrun by groups of bandits and robbers. To try stop the bandits fromplundering their harvest, the villagers menage to hire seven samurai to defend their village. Thesamurai teach the farmers to fight, help them fortify the village entrances and fight alongside withthe villagers to push back the bandits. With the help of the samurai, the villagers drive therobbers back, at the cost of the lives of four samurai and some villagers.This album right here was actually my first experience with the great Colossus - Musea projects andi was not disappointed. Although it needed a lot of time to listen it as many times as necessary todigest it nicely, from day 1 i knew that i had something different from the rest on my hands;something that made me come back from time to time to this album, until i saw the light and wasfinally able to enjoy this very well.Another interesting feature is that all the bands that participated on this album have alreadyappeared on some Colossus - Musea project. Both Consorzio Acqua Potabile and Tempano appeared onOdyssey - The Greatest Tale and Taproban was on the first Spaghetti Epic.About the songs, musicianship and other features there are some thing i would like to state:CAP - Alla Corte Degli Eroi: the Consorzio here don't let us down, with a colorful and verycompetent presented to us, making a terrific epic opening track. Their brand usage of acousticinstruments gives this piece of music the most accurate approach (in my view) intended by theColossus - Musea guys, bringing back most of that 70's Italian prog feeling.TEMPANO - The Farmers: this track is, for me, the best in this album with a great ending (one of themost important parts of the song or album / book / whatever, since a bad ending could ruineverything or even save the crop!). Tempano here clearly outshines their comrades from Italy,presenting the most impressive piece of progressive rock music in this album. Here, the story ismore guided by the music than by the lyrics, unlike CAP , being clearly distinguishable the parts ofthe movie when the samurai arrive at the village, train the villagers, etc, and that is because themusic as a whole is very well developed during the song by the band, making the song great fromstart to finish. Another interesting feature of this song here is that it is the most experimentalof the three, having some kind of jam in the middle of the song, like the jam in the middle of KingCrimson's song Moonchild.TAPOBRAN - The Bandits: this band right here appear to be another ELP - like band, and is quite likethat: a drum / bass / keyboards power trio. However, they still manage to make great music (exceptthe vocals, which are very sub-par when compared to the rest of their work in this album). The partof this song that really caught my attention was the second half of the song, specially when theHammond Organ start to go crazy and when the clarinet and the soprano sax plays all the way untilthe end of the song, which is absolutely fantastic, reminding the ending of a movie itself.Grade and final Thoughts:Having this album a great concept, absolutely masterful music and terrific musicians, resulting in amarvelous album altogether, i think that it deserves th grade that all strive for: the masterpiecegrade. social review comments Review Permalink</div><div></div><div>Posted Saturday, July 5, 2008 Review this album Report (Review #176138)</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
