What I got from that was that just because it’s important to me doesn’t mean it’s important to the everyday person.
If the stars of The Magnificent Seven want to downplay the film’s political potential, that’s their prerogative.
When The Magnificent Seven hit screens in 1960 (being a re-imagining/remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai), moviegoers were content to escape into the world of seven gunmen hired to defend a small Mexican village.
The Magnificent Seven opens in U.S. theaters on September 23rd, 2016.
