i'm curious about 'Seven Samurai'. Is it about 8 ball of Satomi famitly?

i watched seven samurai (not sure the name) but actress was 'Hiroko Yakushimaru' very very old one.
Then this year i watched 'Satomi Hakkenden'.

Main story is quite similar but details are totally different.

Anyone can tell me about actual story in japan.......

i don't think anyone mentioned this jmovie one yet, Twilight Samurai
It's kind of hard to find but it's one of the best samurai movies i've never seen. It's a bit weak on the fight scenes and it doesn't even focus on that. However, the story is very subtle but very engaging.
