Through out both films there is a romantic relationship between the youngest saumurai/cowboy and a girl from the village. In the end of Seven Samurai the girl goes onto reject (well more completely ignore him) upon which the other samurai comments on how they will never be accepted by a society even if they save it. In the Magnificent Seven the girl and the young guy get together yet there is still the comment about lack of acceptance. This really spoils the whole point of the comment and therefore really annoyed me. In general other than Star Wars (watch Hidden Fortress) films made based on an earlier film are nowhere near as good as the original whether they are adpations of old Hollywood films or foreign cinema. <br><br>Japanese films seem to have a unique element to them that I don't quite understand. When you watch something like Ring 0 or other titles that I won't name there is something about them that you see as being a product of Japan. I think the way the characters behave in Japanese films is different from the way they do in Western films and therefore some of the behaviour of characters in the adaption of the Ring seemed wrong for the setting however this may just be judging too much on other Hollywood films.
