To that end, Bronson&#8217;s character is given one of the film&#8217;s most poignant speeches, as he informs a trio of three hero-worshipping peasant boys that their fathers are the real heroes; in response to one saying, &#8220;We&#8217;re ashamed to live here. Our fathers are cowards.&#8221; he retorts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Don&#8217;t you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there&#8217;s nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery. That&#8217;s why I never even started anything like that&#8230; that&#8217;s why I never will.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-1024x431.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"269\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-86118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-1024x431.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-768x323.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson-604x254.png 604w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magnificent-Seven-Bronson.png 1301w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s an inherent sense of nobility and\/or pathos lurking beneath the surface of many of these men, who are willing to take the job for just $20.
