movie review - The Seven Samurai

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.07.30

One of the best movies I've ever seen. I think I wanna buy this one. I can't stop thinking about it. I strongly suggest you see it if you can find it: this is the high water mark for all movies with a military or violent story line.

Strongly recommended.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
