Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' Justifies Its Epic Runtime
Movies with long runtimes (typically longer than two and a half hours) often get a bad rap for being overlong and poorly paced. In fact, in the earlier days of cinema, longer films would have extended intermissions at their midpoints to give the audience a chance to stretch their legs, use the restroom, or grab a snack. While many such films from this era are widely regarded as classics, like Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Dr. Zhivago (1965), many modern audiences might still wonder whether they needed to be so long.
