I found Seven Samurai a harder watch. . .which will probably surprise most people. And I didn't mind the jester at all. Thing is directors lighten films up with these types of characters. In Seven Samurai Kikuchiyo(?), was the joker. I think both films would've been too harsh without those characters. I reckon if Kurosawa made Seven Samurai in the 70's + that it probably would've been as good cinematically. Both great films.
