TS Episode Page: Cinema Through Section Drawing: Samurai Style

In Seven Samurai, the classic film by Kurosawa, our team took a particular interest in the defensible strategy of the small Japanese village in the context of defending one’s home. A feeling of “home” is precisely innate to the human endeavor, especially when that feeling in danger of being revoked by a looming, evil presence. Before the breakdown of the final battle, we discuss the historical context of Japan, how Kurosawa assembled one of cinema's first fighting super-teams, and the cultural humor differences that must have existed in 1950's Japan.
