Akira Kurosawa and all things seven
I know I'm slacking horribly in my resolution to keep my Journals updated (hence the mass duplication).
I have been dreadfully busy lately...then got sick. This is the first time in nearly 18 months that I've been sick. Truely sucks.
I just finished watching "The Seven Swords" movie. It was very disjointed, very long, and had incredible fight scenes with some of the most amazing sword-work I've ever seen! I'm thinking the story may be the precursor to "The Seven Samurai" and "The Magnificent Seven" as they are all basically the same tale.
On an interesting note, I recently acquired the entire "Collector's Edition" set of "Samurai 7." This is an Anime adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" in 26 animated episodes and set in a technologically advanced future that still resembles feudal Japan. Way kewl.
That's all for now, folks.
Peace Out!
