many of the american people would say . what . to my opening comment . yes i know that my comparison be without doubt an insult for the fan of the master akira kurosawa and but if you analyze this movie and my comment be right . we have the peasant who go to the town search for help against a band of grasshopper who want to steal the harvest of the village . the great difference be the way that the story take . our samurai and a band of circus performer a in the original be a very complex mixture of personality but at the end be what the village need and hero . please watch again this incredible movie ( the seven samurai and obviously ) and find another movie who have steal the story and try to get the same magic effect than the masterpiece of akira kurosawa . a tip be the 13th warrior with antonio banderas and michael crichton copy the story to write his best seller and but he do not find the third foot of the cat .
