That said, thereвЂ™s an inordinate amount of foul, profane language and a high body count.

The movie does contain some strong, overt Christian references, coming mostly from the farmers and the Indian fighter. However, the introduction of the seven heroes is not as fun, or as heroic, as the 1960 movie. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN has a solid story structure, with exciting, suspenseful and even funny moments. Have Sam and his buddies signed on to a lost cause? Who will survive and who wonвЂ™t? Both sides have surprises up their sleeves. Eventually, the showdown with the mine owner and his army arrives. Sam gathers six other gunslingers and warriors, including a gambler, an Indian and an old Indian fighter. Denzel Washington stars as Sam Chisolm, a black marshal who agrees to help a small town of farmers fight off the evil owner of a mine and his gun-toting army. Then thereвЂ™s 007вЂ¦.Bond, James Bond.THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN is the 2016 remake of the 1960 iconic western starring Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. There are seven notes in the scale, Seven Chakras. There were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Anyhow, when it comes to sins, why only seven? What is it about the number seven? You canВ only imagine how some of those guys were spending their week. ThereвЂ™s Lust, Sloth, Avarice, Pride, Gluttony, Wrath, and Envy.В Enough to keep a guy busy seven days a week! It was the clerics of the Dark Ages who came up with this elegant seven-fold conception of morality. Did I mention Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?ДЄnd did I mention the Seven Deadly Sins? I didnвЂ™t? OK, IвЂ™ll enumerate. ThereвЂ™s Seven Years in Tibet, The Seventh Seal, Seven Pounds, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Seven Samurai, and thereвЂ™s evenВ one called Seven Psychopaths, which is probably not a musical. ThereвЂ™s The Seven Year Itch (one of my all-time favorites!), ThereвЂ™s Seven Days in May (Burt LancasterвЂ™s in that one), as well as a movie called Seven (a dud as I remember it).

ThereвЂ™s Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as mentioned. Movie titles seem obsessed with the number seven. I heard some of them are outstanding men in their field). (Hey, maybe thatвЂ™s where all those professors hang out. EvenВ the farmersвЂ™ fields must lie fallow and replenish themselves every seven years. After seven years professors, lucky stiffs, get a year off, a Shabbaton. Seven years in a Shabbaton or Sabbatical.

You can either bet on the seven or вЂњcrap outвЂќ. Rolling the dice, the seven comes up 1/6 of the time. The Shabbat, of course, comes on the seventh day.

The seven is also 6 (the perfect number) plus one (unity). The seven is holy in the Jewish tradition as well as inВ other traditions, as it combines the wordly 4 with the divine 3. And then those sevens on a slot machine вЂ“ 777 вЂ“ a sight, I must add on a sorry note, that IвЂ™ve seen on rare occasions only. I always liked 7-Up, although ginger ale is better. The 7-Eleven Convenience Store comes to mind (and I wish it wouldnвЂ™t). Seven Seas, Seven Samurai, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the Seven Fates, Seven Furies, The Dance of the Seven Veils (OK, weвЂ™ll drop it there).

Nonetheless the seven is significant to our psyches. Mathematically, the seven doesnвЂ™t seem very promising After all, a regular heptagon or septagon is hard to draw, doesnвЂ™t tesselate, and doesnвЂ™t appear to be particularly useful. Bumbastories continues itsВ walk through the numbers.
