Seven Samurai: âOne night at the end of February, I surprised Tom and Dylan by bringing home a couple of fruit pies and Seven Samurai, a classic Japanese film from the 1950s directed by Akira Kurosawa. Dylan had heard about Seven Samurai in a class at school, and was curious about it. Iâd never seen it, although I knew the American Western remake from the sixties, The Magnificent Seven. Snowy and cold outside, it seemed like the perfect night to light a fire, pig out, and watch movie, but I worried about my choice as soon as the film began: I wasnât sure Dylan was going to stick around for a long, black-and-white, subtitled movie about a sixteenth-century Japanese village. I was wrong. Dylan was spellbound; we all were.â âAfter the closing credits rolled, Tom, Dylan, and I stayed up late on the couch, talking about some of the more remarkable scenes. Because heâd made videos and done sound for plays, Dylan had deep appreciation for the technical challenges the movie presented. He was particularly knocked out by a complicated choreographed battle scene staged in downpour, which I would come to learn had inspired directors like Martin Scorsese. I was thrilled heâd appreciated the subtle artistry of the film.â [A Motherâs Reckoning pg. 221]

Vertigo: âAfterward, the three of us curled up on the couch to watch one of our favorite movies, Alfred Hitchcockâs Vertigoâ [A Motherâs Reckoning by Sue Klebold pg. 226]
