S2E25.5: Seven Samurai
Added 2023-05-31 21:59:53 +0000 UTCIt's movie night at the big house we all live in together, and it's cowboy time again... or is it? Oh of course, it's Akira Kurosawa's 3.5 hour Seven Samurai. Because Dev got to pick the movie this time.

Its worth noting: The guy who screams at Manzo for calling his own daughter a slut, specifically noting that she had sex for love, is the guy whose wife killed herself in front of him because she was raped by bandits. Which makes his statement about love hit a bit harder...

2023-08-03 15:41:53 +0000 UTCListening to this episode really drove home for me how much I want to hear you talk about Lawrence of Arabia. I mean, it's not too similar to Seven Samurai, other than being very long, very good, and set in the past. But I think it's a perfect fit for KJB. It's about a British intelligence agent treating the middle east as a playground and developing an increasingly obvious god complex. It's explicitly anti-colonialist (to the point where it absolutely couldn't get made today), but simultaneously pretty patronizing towards the Arab Revolt that it portrays as it's real heroes.
