Really, really good movie."Seven Samurai" does something in as little time as needed as a majority of films never get to do in two or three hours.
Somehow, the writers and director completely familarized the audence with the seven samurai without taking time out of the film to explain who these people were. Over the period of the movie, you know these guy and when some die or as the plot twists the audience grimaces and groans.
Character development and the ability to connect with the audience in a positive or negative fashion is incredibly hard to do and you can't always depend on the actor or actress to endear their character to the viewer. Seven no-name Japanese actors look like utter heroes whilst most other characters live or die without anyone caring.
