Remakes #3: SEVEN SAMURAI and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (2016)

It's been a while, listeners, but if you were itching for us to get into some more remake discussion on Movies for Life, here we are! Though there was really only one choice for the original film we talk about, there were actually several different possibilities for its "remake" - or at least an interpretation of the original story - so we hope you all dig the pairing we chose! So, up for discussion for our third Remakes episode is an undisputed classic, and really one of the best movies ever made - Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI from 1954; and then to pair with it we have the remake of the remake, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN from 2016, directed by Antoine Fuqua. With such a daunting original film, we take the approach of discussing both films at the same time, looking at those core seven characters in each, and how they match up or differ from each other (while also of course talking about so many other things we love from both films). This one was a lot of fun and we hope you all enjoy! Thank you so much for listening!
