    Seven Samurai (1954)
    Tickets https://ci.ovationtix.com/36213/production/1145720
    Saturday, February 4, 7 p.m.
    (Note early start time)

    On Saturday, February 4, at 7 p.m., the Redford Theatre’s big screen will be filled with one of the biggest films of all time: Seven Samurai.


    We are presenting the film’s complete restoration (in Japanese with English subtitles) for just one performance. The story takes place in 1586 during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Here’s a preview of the action: vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=wJ1TOra…

    Real samurai armor was used in the film and many of the samurai can be seen carrying two swords. This practice was known as “daisho,” and literally translates to “big-little”. The big blade was the curved "katana," which was generally used for dueling and combat, while the short sword was the “akizashi," which is traditionally associated with performing “seppuku” (ritual suicide, i.e. hari kari).

    (The Samurai warriors do not exist today. It is illegal to carry swords and arms in Japan. However, the cultural legacy of the samurai still exists today, and the descendants of the samurai families also exist today.)

    While it initially received mixed reviews from Western critics, Seven Samurai is now considered one of the greatest films in cinema history. Its influence shows up in any number of American films. The Magnificent Seven is a perfect example. Director John Sturges adapted the film to the Old West, with the samurai being replaced by gunslingers. You can probably think of many other films in which there is a theme of assembling a team to carry out a specific mission. Even the Star Wars franchise has adapted this famous story template more than once.

    So, there it is—one of the most famous movies ever filmed, though rarely seen today. Yes, it’s long (and your evening will be even longer if you join us for the Organ Overture with our wondrous Barton Theatre Pipe Organ at 6:30)—but you can be assured you won’t be bored.

    @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} yes, I learned significantly more during the short time I attended Oakland Community College than when I attended Northern Michigan University for 4 years. There's a big difference between learning from professors who actually work in the field than learning from professors who are full time academics mostly dealing in theory, much of which is outdated.

    During Trump's presidency I had thought more than once maybe he thinks that if he spends more money than he has, the country can just declare bankruptcy and he can start a new country in its place like he did with all his businesses. #MAGA?

    Republicans are slightly less awful when there is a Democrat in the Whtie House


    ♲ @rbreich@masto.ai: The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.

    The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

    Then he went to a college that did not have an articulation agreement with the California community college system, so they did not accept his credits.

    The more I learn about other states' post secondary education systems, the more I think that Wisconsin seems to be the only one that has it right in the U.S. Every public school in the state, including every two-year institution, it's all the University of Wisconsin. Whether you are going to the flag ship UW-Madison (i.e. home of the Wisconsin Badgers) or the two-year Community College in Rice Lake [i.e. The University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire - Barron County Campus (UW-EC-BC)] all of the credits are the same everywhere no questions of transfers or acceptance. There's really very little reason to go to UW-Madison (or UW-Eau Claire, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, etc.) for the first two years unless you just like spending money with little expected return on investment, as the prices vary greatly from campus to campus.

    @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} one of my worst finical decisions was paying out-of-state tuition for 4 years because I wanted to go "somewhere nobody knew me" (another being marrying my college sweetheart who did the same). If our kids want to go to college, we are willing to pay for them to go 2 years to the local Community College. (Or we can give the same money to start a business, pay expenses during an apprenticeship, etc.)

    @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} yeah so I would have graduated HS during that time frame. It certainly existed, as my college classmates had these magic things, but unless I'm a complete moron it wasn't deeply embedeed in the American Education system. I knew of classmates from high school that did the "dual enrollment" thing where the State paid for them to attend the Wisconsin equivalent of Community College whilst still taking some classes in High School, but they had to be invited to do so because they were smart as all get out (the fact they were well connected in the community, daughter of one of the largest employers in town, and son of an Olympic gold medalist respectively, probably didn't hurt).
