Seven Samurai: Difference between revisions

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Four of the samurai die.}} Kind of counts as an [[It Was His Sled]] {{spoiler|because samurai ''want'' to die heroically defending someone. We're just hiding the count.}}

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: {{spoiler|Rikichi's wife}} does not care about the fire at the bandit camp that she is in. She is also so [[Rape As Drama|ashamed over]] what happened to her {{spoiler|she runs right back into the flames when she sees Rikichi trying to rescue her.}}

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: At one point Katsushirou is lazily picking flowers in the mountains when he happens across a young woman dressed as a boy (Shinou), also picking flowers. He angrily tells her that an able-bodied young man should not be picking flowers at a time like this... emphasizing his point by gesturing with the flower he's just picked.

* [[Important Haircut]]:

* [[The Quiet One]]: Kyūzō.

* [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]]

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In possibly the most emotionally-charged scene of the movie, Kikuchiyo delivers an epic one to the farmers, then turns around and delivers an equally scathing one to the samurai, setting up [[The Reveal]].

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Kikuchiyo}}

* [[Scenery Porn]]: And how! It is Kurosawa, after all. Only natural lighting, and quite minimalistic.

* [[The Siege]]

* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Either {{spoiler|Katsushirou and Shinou}} or {{spoiler|Katsushirou and Kyūzō}}, depending on your interpretation. Or [[Take a Third Option|possibly]] [[Love Triangle|all three]].

* [[The Stoic]]: Kyūzō is a man of few words and has an unshakeable composure, although he's seen smiling and laughing with the others.

* [[Warrior Poet]]: Kyūzō, the most skilled samurai of the group, plays with wildflowers right before pulling off an ambush with Kikuchiyo.

* [[Weapon Tombstone]]
