Seven Samurai (1954) VS. The Magnificent Seven (1960)

 

Hello,

After watching The Magnificent Seven (1960), I decided to watch Seven Samurai (1954) by Akira Kurosawa because the 1960's movie is based on the 1954 version. Even though both movies are really great, the 1954 one is better because it is more clean storywise:

• Clear visuals, additional survival information, a stronger feeling of emotional connection to the character 

Following a comparison between both movies.

Seven Samurai (1954)	The Magnificent Seven (1960)
includes strategic elements have quotes of wisdom almost no dialogue for the bandits Remarkable midpoint showing the movie's amature:               "By protecting others you protect yourself."	has no strategic elements have no quotes of wisdom The bandits have a lot of dialog midpoint is almost invisible (which is not bad)
Introduces Kikuchiyo's farming background in Act 2 I do feel the danger of war The baby is a clone of Kikuchiyo Deeper exploration of love scenes compared to 1960s version	Introduces Chico’s farming background late in Act3. I do not feel the danger of war mostly plot (mostly male elements and             less female elements)
