Quote:The "Seven Samurai" is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. The "Seven Samurai" is a much deeper movie than just a bunch of guys fighting with swords. It's about social injustice and its consequences for the oppressor and the oppressed. It's about idealism and loyalty in the face of dire surroundings. It's about the futility of war *gasp*! Every time I pull that movie from the shelf, I discover some new gem I hadn't noticed before.While QT does indeed do characters, the often seem to be caricatures. I like his stories, for all their twisted themes and celebration of deviance, because his characters interest me due to their odd quirks and flaws.
Unfortunately, if QT remakes this movie it's going to be all about the "action" sequences. The character and their relationships are going to be caricatures of the originals.
Jackie Brown was low on SFX, but I very much enjoyed it.
