Die Glorreichen Sieben – Ein Film, Figuren und 3D files
Wobei man jetzt echt fragen könnte, hat der Regisseur das wirklich bewusst gemacht? Hat er den afroamerikanischen Helden, dem vom Typ, nicht als Schauspieler, her sehr blassen Yul Brynner auch bewusst gegenüberstellen wollen?
Ich finde das weltklasse. Man vergleicht dadurch weniger.
Na und dazu kommt halt auch noch, und das ist ja das wichtigste, das Denzel Washington nach meiner Meinung auch alles spielen KANN. Er ist für mich ein ganz Großer.
Er ist tatsächlich Indianer aus Alaska und hat diesen Namen. Ich hab nicht rausbekommen warum???) hat man halt die Frisur eines Iroskesen verpasst, obwohl er im Film einen Komantschen darstellen soll. Von ihm gibt es Bilder im Netz – er arbeitet nämlich auch als Modell -, wo man ihn mit langen Haaren sieht. Diese Frisur hätte viel besser zu einem Komantschen gepasst. Na aber zumindest sind die Filmemacher in einer Sache wiederum sehr historisch. Er darf sich dann im Film auch mit dem Apachen der Gegenseite prügeln. Das ist gut so, und historisch korrekt. Die beiden Stämme waren sich einfach nicht grün (ob der Apache sich gewundert hat, dass der Komantsche einen Irokesenschnitt hat??? Man weiß es nicht).
Der letzte der Darsteller der Sieben, der Mann aus den Bergen, ist Vincent D’Onofrio, unser aller geliebter Private Paula. Manche kennen ihn eher als Detective Robert Goren aus Criminal Intent.

Für die originalen Glorreichen Sieben gibt es ja auch spezielle Miniaturen:

Na und dann hat man mir persönlich noch die Inspiration zu einer Spielplatte gegeben, die ich so bisher gar nicht auf der Uhr hatte.
Yesterday I finally saw a Western for years, which really gets a top rating from me. Well, even though the international reviews are split again.
I’m talking about the remake of the Magnificent Seven.
OK. At the beginning of last year, Winnetou also get my favour. But that was a German film adaptation.
Now the masters have struck again.
First, I have to do a remark. I’m not a fan of the old Magnificent Seven film, or even of the Seven Samurais.
So I came by a pure coincidence to the remake.
A colleague asks me if I already know the movie. I said no. I found it funny when he told me that he had watched it on Pay TV, but fell asleep while doing so. After a loud laugh I said: “Yes. That’s really a quality sign for the movie.”
But when he vehemently claimed that it was only his tiredness, and not the movies storytelling, for some reason my interest was aroused, and I bought the Blu Ray.
Somehow I must have been led there. I SHOULD have a look at the movie.
The old movie strip had somehow set standards in his time and made the bald-headed Yul Brynner famous almost overnight. Brynner looked a bit different than the then standard Western actor. That worked. This even worked so that years later he was allowed to throw himself into the same outfit as the Black Avenger to play his role again in the film Westworld. Westworld was also groundbreaking. A SciFi story that, like Jurassic Park, denounced the excesses of an increasingly booming leisure industry and put it to the test. No wonder. Both films, Westworld and Jurassic Park, are written by Michael Crichton.
I do not know if Michael Crichton had a traumatic experience somewhere in a theme park. No idea.
But if he really had it, then you would have to send the park operators a thank you. After all, we owe them two really good films, along with various spin-offs.
But back to the Magnificent Seven.
Seven men defend the villagers of a poor Mexican village against evil bandits. Unfortunately, four of the „heroes“ are killed, which leads the leader of the Avengers, Yul Brynner, to the legendary saying: „Only the farmers could win. We have lost! – We always lose! „
Self-criticism? The swan song on the lovely western hero?
Yes; something like that, that message should tell.
The basic theme is found also in the new film. But anyone looking for a Mexican village and its inhabitants will not find it.
Somehow, many movies of the 60s and 70s have the border region between
There were folkloristic aspects for that choice. Somewhere the filmmakers also wanted to address the wanderlust of the audience. Mexico looked so different for European customers. Just like a poor region of Spain. Well, and for a target group that had not yet invented the mass tourism of the day, such a location was great. A completely different world that you probably could never visit.
Today you find another announcement. Stories of new American westerns took place more in the middle west of the country. Just have a look at Deathwood or Hell on Wheels.
But fans of the old film maybe will complain here.
I do not care, because the film does not lose. I think the film even wins.
The new film probably also has the aim to bring forward the international understanding, because the new Glorious Seven represent a cross section of American society.
An African-American, a Mexican, a Chinese, an Indian, a Northerner, a Southerner, and the Mountain
Cliche?
Might be.
But the cast is just right.
Denzel Washington is Yul Brynner, well, and I find him much better than the original.
They are two completely different types of persons and actors.
That’s definitely an advantage. The role is thus independent, original, acts in no way as a copy of the original.
If you accept the reinterpretation of the role, well, and I did that directly, because I simply love Denzel Washington as an actor, then it really makes it easier to properly discover this new hero.
But the cast of the other roles is also fitting.
Well, apart from the actor of the Indian. But he himself is not guilty. Martin Sensmeier (this is really not a Joke, he is actually an Alaskan Indian and has this name, I did not know why ???) wears the hairstyle of an Iroquois warrior, even though he is supposed to be a Comanche in the movie. There are pictures of him in the net – he also works as a model – where he is seen with long hair. This hairstyle would have been much better suited to a Comanche. But at least the filmmakers are really historical in one thing. The Comanche battles in the film with an Apache of the other side. That’s fine, and historically correct. The two tribes hate each other.
Chris Pratt, whom I like since Jurassic World, plays a Northerner. The „Universal Cowboy“ with Irish roots, who knows how to outsmart his enemies with gambling tricks.
A really sympathetic character. Terence Hill had always been liked as a crook. Exactly the same feeling I have with Chris Pratt. Class A cast for this character.
The Southerner is Ethan Hawke.
Damn’!!!!
Too bad that the films Gettysburg and Gods and Generals are already filmed.
So if I have to film a civil war epic and have to find actors to represent A.P. Hill or Nathan Bedford Forrest, then Ethan Hawke would get my call after this movie. He is now a bit older and he plays the role really great. Yes, so you can really imagine a Southerner.
He’s playing a war-troubled former sniper of the Confederate Army, whose best friend is a Chinese man.
What should I say?
The south is not that bad.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.
The Chinese, in turn, is a Korean by birth by the name of Lee Byung-Hun, and is already known from films like GI Joe, Red 2 and Terminator Genisys. He definitely has the stereotypical Samurai role as a knife specialist because his special moves are very Tekken-like, but also convincing.
The performer of the Mexican, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, was not so well-known to me now, but he also interpreted the role accordingly. He is a “good” bandit, who fights on the side of the good guys.
The last of the Seven characters is Vincent D’Onofrio, our beloved Private Paula. Some know him more as Detective Robert Goren from Criminal Intent.
I just like him. D’Onofrio performes so well.
Just a great cast.
Well, and that the client is not only really pretty, but a tough settler woman who is the only one who has the guts to do something against the evil exploiter, who terrorises the village with his private army, is also much better solved than in the original film. In the old movie everyone came over so whiny. In this film, only the men of the village are the cowards. Incidentally, it fits in with our society today.
Hehehe.
The villain, the main enemy, is now no longer just a volatile bandit, but a lousy capitalist, who goes over all sorts of bodies for his own profit. It also fulfills all the expectations that I attach to such a film.
I do not have to tell the story, right? Clear. Also here the Magnificent Seven defend the farmers. Again, the villains are bad. Here, too, the heroes are heroes.
But the defense ideas of the good ones look better, more modern. Should I tell something ??? Only that much. I love sticks of dynamite and prepared positions.
On the side of the bad guyd there is still a bitter Gatling gun.AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What do you want more? Westerns with Gatlings are ultra cool. That was already the case with Peckinpah.
Well, and as it should be, the Gatling gun can shoot through all the houses, all the streets and alleys, without ever having heard anything of angles of fire.
But it does not matter.
Totally hump. It’s just stylish.
Well, and what’s the point for Wargamers that is decisive?
EVERYTHING.
From the movie you can knit scenarios that are really great.
All the guys look like foundry or artizan cowboys and villains.
There’s a church in the settlement that looks like the Perries have taken it as a model for their own model church.
The houses you get everywhere in the vastness of the Internet by the laser cut companies in the world.
Or you sell the 3D files from my Buddy Jens Najewitz:
I wrote it in one of my earlier reports on the Wild West that the West is always a desert to me. I’m a child of the 60s. Influenced by John Wayne films.
But in this movie I have a landscape that I think is really awesome. Somewhere they found a location where the ground is very sandy, so the main street of the settlement actually looks like it’s a desert town, but on the other hand, there are still enough greenery and trees to make the landscape more diverse shape.
I like that.
Especially as I would not have to repaint the bases of my Wild West figures.
You see, the movie inspired me again, well, and I just expect that from the genre.
Maybe one or the other of you will give the remake a chance now.
Maybe the film was deliberately ignored by some of you.
Certainly by everyone who rejects remakes.
You should jump over your shadow.
