Originally made in 1954, Seven Samurai has had a profound impact on Cinema. With its complex, and great narrative, rich and deep characters, and drama with more adrenaline-filled action.  But from this, newer films have been birthed following in the lineage of Seven Samurai. Like Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars, Avengers, Ocean's Eleven, and more, through things like using rain to set a dark, murky, uncomfortable, dirty setting. It has also influenced directors like George Lucas(who based his Star Wars on The Hidden Fortress, another Kurosawa Film) and Quentin Tarantino. Through setting familiar tropes and visual innovations, Seven Samurai has truly set its legacy far above other films in Cinematic History.

  The First Greatest Scene In Seven Samurai The beginning scene where they recruit the samurai. It's exciting, and fun. The beginning of a slow tragedy, and this is the start of it. They begin with recruiting the team(an innovation at the time, now the singular most well-known and most-used plot trop in action and heist films).

Differences And Similarities Between The French and American Revolutions

By
  Both the American and the French Revolutions were interesting parts of both histories of two different modern worlds, modern America and modern France. But to the American people, the revolution meant freedom, liberty, and release from oppression, while the French revolution was bloody, violent, and unforgettable, and ended Bourbon rule, changed land ownership in France, lost power for the French Catholic Church, spread Liberalism, laid the groundwork for communism yet unified and enhanced the power of France.
