5. My favorite movie

Hello my friends, in this time I will talk about my favorite movie.

My favorite movie is not a modern film, it was created in 1954. Of course, this film is in white and black. Its name is "The seven Samurais", created by Akira Kurosawa.

In this movie, the principal actors are, the seven samurais: Toshiro Mifune, Isao Kimura, Yoshio Inaba, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki, Seiji Miyaguchi and Daisuke Kato.

Well, this movie is about a japanese village, very poor, that it will be attack by a group of thief. They want steal the crop and kill the people who put resistance. So, the older man in the village says that a group of men must go to the city and contract some samurais, because they are the best fighters in the country. However, they haven't money, they will try to pay with rice. So they go to the city and ask to the samurais in the street if they want work for them only for rice, however a lot of fighters feel that the pay is very miserable, so they say "no". The village people feel desperation, they haven't time, until they meet to Kanbei (Takashi Shimura), a samurai who agree the work, and he begin to form a group. One of the seven is the more particular, Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune), he is not a samurai, he is only a farmer who wants to be a samurai, he is easily angered and his character is all the opposite to a samurai.

One time that the group is complete, they go to the village. First they are not welcome, because the farmer have fear of them, but with the time, the samurais and the farmers create a very good and vital relationship. The samurais train to the farmer with sword, arch and arrow and lances. Finally, the group of thief attack the village, they think that it will be easy, but they find to the people very organized. This is the best part of the movie, the battle in the village, thief versus the samurais and the farmers, but I will not say more, the people have to watch this movie.

Wow, Akira Kurosawa and this movie was the inspiration for George Lucas and Star Wars and for Clint Eastwood and his cowboys movies. For this reason I would not change nothing in this movie.

That's all for now, I leave the trailer
