Sleep

July 31st, 2006

So last night around midnight I toss in Seven Samurai after misreading the length by about 2 hours. Turns out it’s 3.5 hours long. No sleep for me last night. Decent movie though. It does have that 1950 production quality which I have a little trouble getting over.

    Yeah, the version I saw (sitting in an uncomfortable college desk) had white subtitles against a black and white background. These days, white subtitle lettering, if it doesn't fall into the bottom margin of the widescreen, has black outlines.

    It also has a sort of shaky camera work that be considered a sign of an amateur production in the context of modern films.
