Kannet väittävät tämän 190 minuuttisen version olevan "the most complete version of the film", onko näin?
DVD Journalilla oli aiheesta suht. pitkä juttu, joka löytyy enää www.dvdjournal.com/previousnews/news200105.shtml+seven+samurai+203+207+criterion+%22more+trivia%3F%22&hl=fi&gl=fi&ct=clnk">Googlen välimuistista. Oleelliset osat:
[indent]Seven Samurai, a 1954 film by Akira Kurosawa, runs 203 minutes (NTSC). The snafu: Criterion's second release of Seven Samurai is listed at 207 minutes, even though the official running time of the film, in its longest cut, has always been 203 minutes.
...our info is that additional overture and exit music was added to the second edition, just a few minutes worth, which kicked it out to 207 minutes (but whatever the change, it's subtle enough that most people have overlooked it, including us).
Complicating the scenario further (and don't we love it when that happens), Seven Samurai was seriously trimmed to 141 minutes when first released in the U.S. and Europe, although we don't know if this cut has ever appeared on home video (Criterion's 1989 Laserdisc release was — you guessed it — 203 minutes). A Region 2 DVD released by the British Film Institute clocks in at 190 minutes. Butchery? Maybe, but we've heard that this actually has to do with PAL conversion and that the entire film is on board — it just runs a bit faster (but, not having that particular DVD handy either, we can't confirm it).[/indent]
Thanks. Jostain muualtakin olen lukenut että tuo 190 ja 203 minuutin ero johtuu tuosta PAL konvertoinnista, toivottavasti näin on.
