The Magnificent Seven (1960) is an American Western film directed by John Sturges. Starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn, Horst Bucholz & Eli Wallach.
The Magnificent Seven (2016) is an American western film directed by Antoine Fuqua. Starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Peter Sarsgaard & Haley Bennett.
STORY: A group of seven gunfighters hired to protect a small village farmers in Mexico from a group of brutal people who are stealing everything from them.
CHARACTER ANALYSIS:
LEADER OF THE SEVEN: Yul Brynner portraits the role of Chris Adams, a gunslinger and the mannerism and the way he sounds makes it clear that he is better than Denzel. On the other hand, Denzel Washington as Sam Chisholm was not quite impressive.
THE DRIFTER: Steve McQueen portraits the cool drifter role of Vin Tanner superbly. But Chris Pratt as Joshua Faraday has got so much things in his pockets, he is a gambler and a ladies man with a fondness for explosives. Anyway, he did a fine job.
THE TRAUMATIZED VETERAN: Robert Vaughn as Lee was a grounded role. Interestingly Ethan Hawke as Goodnight Robicheaux got more important role than Robert. He was a sharpshooter and now fears to shoot because of his past and how he overcomes this situation were nicely done by Hawke.
THE KNIFE EXPERT: Both there intro scenes were same. James Coburn role of Brit was tough and he uses knives only few scenes. Lee Byung-hun as Billy Rocks is an assassin who likes to use knives all the time and he has got a more important role than James Coburn.
THE FORTUNE SEEKER: Brad Dexter as Harry Luck is another grounded role and he is searching for treasures. In the 2016 edition the role has changed a little bit Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Vasquez is a Mexican outlaw who has been on the run for several months.
THE PROFESSIONAL: Charles Bronson as Bernardo O'Reilly needed money and he is found of children. In the 2016 edition Vincent D'Onofrio as Jack Horne is a tracker and he mainly concentrates on actions.
THE KID: Horst Buchholz portraits the role of Chico who tries to prove himself as a heroic fighter and he was far better than Martin. When it comes to the latest edition Martin Sensmeier as Red Harvest is an upgraded version and a specialist in arrow.
VILLAIN: Eli Wallach as Calvera is more convincing than Peter's villain role and he is very good in negative roles. Peter Sarsgaard as Bartholomew Bogue tries his best, but failed miserably in executing the role.
The theme of the films are same, but there are few changes in the storyline. The running time of both the films is same. Action wise 2016 edition is better and it's a visual treat. Both the film has a good cast and different background scores. The 1960 movie is more convincing that the latest and It's looks more real to me. The Magnificent Seven (1960) is a classic movie and the remake version was very good in executing the action scenes. Overall, both are good movies in their own aspects.
Verdict: Good
