Season 1 - Episode 4: The Magnificent Seven | The Oceans of Titan: A Movie Review Podcast | The Radio Oceania Podcast Network
Welcome to Episode 4 of The Oceans of Titan. In this episode I review the newest adaptation of The Magnificent Seven, which is a re-imagining of the 1960 original produced by the Walter Mirisch company and starred Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn and Steve McQueen. The plot of the film involved seven gunslingers of the Old West helping a village stand up to a bandit and his band of 40 men raid the people of their food and resources. This film, directed by John Sturges was actually an "Americanized" version of a movie named Seven Samurai, a 1954 Japanese film starring Toshiro Mifune. This movie was about seven men in the Japanese Warring States period standing up to an army of invaders robbing the villagers of their things. The 2016 film, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt roughly follows the storyline of the 1960 Sturges/Mirisch movie. It also stars Washington's Training Day co-star Ethan Hawke, Full Metal Jacket/Law and Order's Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Haley Bennett, and Peter Sarsgaard as the baddie named Bogue. In this adaptation, directed by Training Day's Antoine Fuqua, Washington leads the group of men in defending the village of Rose Creek in 1879 from Bogue, who wants control of the town and its resources.
