BLOG: Kurosawa 7 Samurai

visceral, heroic, eternal & redemptive unlike any movie made in the last 15 yrs. Cameron, Bay, Bruckheimer: please sit down and take a lesson. Modern hollywood movies ignore plot, suspense, drama, humanity in favor of pedantic moralizing, special effects and pat one-dimensional characters. there's real value in the saying, "show, don't tell". Genuine human morality and values are trivialized by the cringe-worthy lines mouthed by stillborn characters who, these days, are mere placeholders in the landscape of special effects. THAT's today's modern movie. While uplifted by watching kurosawa's masterpiece today -- 3+ hours which sped by more quickly than avatar, at least to my perception -- it provides a timely occasion to comment on the decline of the modern american moviemaking.
