It's incredible how many things have been inspired by Akira Kurosawa and Seven Samurai, and it's a tragedy how few people know about him or have watched his movies. As a YA, I'll keep trying to spread awareness to my generation.

[@doomstadt2371]

Kurosawa is a literal legend in film making. He's not some obscure creator that needs to be given their time in the sun. That's why he gets ripped off constantly lol. You don't rip off garbage lol

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

dude come on Kurosawa is one of the most famous filmmakers of all time, most people know him without even having seen any of his movies, let alone the amount of casual, to nerdy film fans that watch his stuff or cite his influences, let alone filmmakers themselves that always mention him. This isn't 1920s-1950s black-and-white movies we're talking about that next to no young people have seen. He has probably the most popular black-and-white movies by far. Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff.

[@Khepriem]

@@GuineaPigEveryday "Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff." Ironically, I think you've done exactly that. So much vitriol for a 5 year old comment. I have an opinion and an experience with something and you insult me for it because it doesn't perfectly correspond with your own. I'm glad that those around you seem to know about Kurosawa, but please don't act as if your experience is that of everyone else. I've never met a single person in my home town that recognized his name when I asked them about it. That is a fact, and that is why I made my comment. I'll continue to spread awareness of his works, even if that somehow makes me pretentious, because I think film history should be revered, not forgotten, and it brings happiness and connections to those in my life.

[@samuraigaming3042]

@@Khepriem cringe

[@samuraigaming3042]

Just because you live in the sticks where everyone is stupid, doesn't mean culture and the world at large doesn't no of Kurosawa. ask any film student and they know him. ask any Japanese or east Asian person and they will know him. ask anyone interested in Japanese culture, they will know him. you mistake experience for facts. I live in a small town where everyone is a uncultured ignorant American, for the most part. so what? I'm not an idiot like you who believes that their town represents the majority of cultural awareness, I understand where I come from and I understand culture. you are the epitome of a pretentious pompous fool. again, my intention isn't one of hate or insult. It is simply stating a fact, as I once was, ignorant like you.@@Khepriem

[@FilmmakerJ]

I thought it was more "The Three Amigos" + "The Seven Samurai," primarily because the so-called Warriors are under the impression they are there for entertainment, rather than as hired muscle. It's only after the reality sets in, and after a pep-talk that the circus bugs do what they can to fight for the ants. The samurai, though, always knew how to fight, and had every intention of doing so once they were making their way to the village. The same goes for "The Magnificent Seven."

[@ElusiveAppellation]

Ditto.

[@7elevenqt]

Tbf Seven Samurai and Magnificent 7 are basically the same film

[@Ontonaut]

Yes, it's a clear bit by bit evolution. The Magnificent Seven is the Seven Samurai in the old west. The Three Amigos is essentially the Magnificent Seven with the heroes not understanding what they were hired for. A Bugs Life Is the Three Amigos. With bugs

As a kid, I always had a bit of trouble understanding Bug's Life. I didn't think it was all that unique compared to other Pixar films.

I actually asked someone who worked on A Bug’s Life about the film’s inspiration and he said that the movie was originally more of a remake of Seven Samurai and the original title of the film was “Seven Bugs”. The original version stayed more close to the original movie in terms of its story, but when they decided that the film would be about circus bugs that were mistaken for warriors instead, that lead to them changing the title. He pretty much said that Pixar in no way were hiding that they were making an animated remake of or loosely based on Seven Samurai.

honestly i love his pausing, it works great with his narration of his videos and is calming as hell, its honestly what brought me to his channel, i think the best one by far was the treasure planet, and the pausing actually pulled me further in to what he was saying and caused me to listen more and more, its calming to me at least lmao.

Having seen and loved your Treasure Planet and Black Cauldron entries, surprised you also did A Bug's Life and really shows how it's better than it really was. Sort of could see something for this in other underrated movies like "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" or "Meet the Robinsons", but it's all on what you're interested in. Thanks for this.

Is it weird that I don't want you to be a full time KZbinr? It might sound selfish but the amount of thought and time you put into your work would be countered by the amount of videos you have to put out just to maintain a certain income. I have seen the quality of some channels go down because they think that they love what they do so much but in the end they get tired of that love and move away to something else just to get more money. I love this channel and how the videos are deep and have much thought into them but all that would be lost if you work on it every day. As I was growing up I was told "Don't do what you love, do what you can live with" and I see what they mean. If you do what you love then it is like putting all your wood into the fire, it becomes nothing but ash and the fire is gone. The passion leaves you, and you find a different love. I do love this channel and I hope that if you do become a full time KZbinr that you make sure that you don't burn out. I respect what you do with your life but I would just want thought I should give a bit of advice.

I hope you realize this is just a paragraph long criticism of capitalism as the all encompassing system crushing our souls that it is.

I've made a bad habit out of watching youtube videos at 1.5x speed but your talents as a narrator are way too precious for that... your videos are worth every minute.

[@noahbirthisel3285]

I swear this is how you end......every paragraph. I never know if you finished your sentence. Anyway I love the videos been here since 20k.

18:33 is literally the coolest introduction to a character in movie history!

“I’m really smart, and this is why A Bug’s Life is literally Seven Samurai.” I’m dead that’s the best video analysis intro I’ve ever heard
