Review: Seven Samurai

Seven samurai is an epic adventure classic with an engrossing story, memorable characters, and stunning action sequences that makes it one of the most influential films ever made.

The action takes place in Japan in the sixteenth century. The inhabitants of a village of peasants, tired of being regularly attacked by a horde of bandits decide to do something about it. The village elder member suggests hiring samurai to defend them. After several failed attempts to find samurai willing to fight only in exchange for food, found one called Kanbei, who decides to help. Thanks to Kanbei, get together a group of seven samurai who defend the town more for their courage and ethics by two daily handfuls of rice offered to them.

I loved the realism and authenticity of the film. Compared with today's cinema is a very long movie but no scene is priceless. Another strong point is the characterization and stories of each of the seven samurais.

Definitely Seven Samurai is one of the best films ever made, if you haven't seen it you don't really know what cinema is.

Review: Pulp fiction

Pulp fiction is a film that thriller, crime, and intertwined history. It should be noted that history is cluttered and has a message that depends on the interpretation of the viewer.

Jules and Vincent, two murderers paid work for Marsellus Wallace. Jules Vincent confesses that Marsellus has asked him to take care of Mia, his wife. Jules recommends caution because it is very dangerous exceeded the boss's girlfriend. When the time comes to work, both must get down to work. Their mission: to retrieve a mysterious briefcase.

I loved all of pulp fiction, the acting which was totally awesome I highlight the Samuel L Jakcson's perfomance, the dialogues , strange situations, the way in which the story is told and the soundtrack too.

For me this film has no noticeable negatives, it's a movie that I recommend to lovers of classic cinema and cult cinema.

Watchmen (comic) Review

This is a story that reflects contemporany anxiety and a critic against the concept of superheroes.

Rorschach one of the few active superheroes, decides to investigate a comedian's murder. Rorschach thinks about a killing conspiracy against the dressed up watchmen, so he warns 4 of his old partners: Dan Dreigberg, Dr. Manhattan, Laurie Juspyzeck and Adrien Veidt.

I loved the plot and the characters, above all the main one, Rorschach. What I most like of Rorchach is his personality and his design, he has a mask that remains the Rorschah test. The setting was really good, it's in a alternate reality that reflects accurately the contemporary world of the decade of the 80s. It modified the Vietnam war and the presidency of Nixon.

For me, there aren't negative points in Moore's graphic novel.

In my opinion, Watchemn is a masterpiece, a must read comic.
