I think there must be a lot of bandits back then and the villagers didn't know how to fight as they only knew how to plant.
For years that these Mexican villagers have been bullied by the bandits. Their foods have been taken away every year and they only had what was left - not much though. They had to take good care of their families and now it was not enough supplies for them as the bandits have taken everything away and said that they'd be returning soon.
The villagers thought it was time to fight- even to death. They had to do something to protect themselves. They went to the old man and asked for his advice. He gave them something valuable so they can sell it and buy some guns to fight with the bandits. The 3 men were sent to town (The States) and there they met Chris, one of the best gunfighters. They saw Chris's bravery so they thought that Chris could help them and be the man they trust. They decided to approach Chris for help. Chris thought it was funny to work for 20 dollars/6 weeks but for some reasons he agreed to help and promised to find some other friends to join.
Chris began to look for other gunfighters. One at a time.... he's got them all! The Magnificent Seven Gunfighters who agreed to work for such small money!
They arrived at the village and got themselves prepared for the bandits' next arrival. The Mexican were taught how to fire the guns and how to fight. It was hard for them as they never held guns but hammers and farming stuff. They were now ready.
The bandits came and were surprised that the villagers knew how to fight. They gave good offer to the gunfighters that they could share things equally and this was not a place for them as they could do better - not for the poor villagers. The gunfighters left the village as the villagers finally decided that they better off protect they families so there would be no more dying. The gunfighters respected the decision but they realized that this has to be stopped so they went back to help the villagers. Some died and some lived... but they were fighting for their victory and courage!
I think this is one of the finest movies! It shows clearly what farmers do and don't. They would do anything to protect their families. As I see in this movie that gunfighters were really rocking! But of course they were both good and bad. I like the way they put up all the courage to learn how to fight and use guns but at the end they rather choose to plant. It was clear that farmers don't really trust any outsiders and it takes a lot for them to trust and care.
As for the cowboys or gunfighters, they really great influence on the society. All they use to show their courage was gun. If you could shoot fast and good, you're accepted and respected.
Also, it seems that if the gunfighters could make good friends with the farmers, they could travel everywhere in the country. If they don't harm the farmers they'll all be welcome to the village anytime they wish.
My lord, I think that this movie is way too short! I wanna watch more! You see, there's not always bad gunfighters! It is also said in the movie that some gunfighters were farmers too! For some reasons children wanted to become gunfighters so they could fight bad guys and protect their people!

This is classic western and is a take off of a famous Japanese movie called The Seven Samurai. This is your best blog so far. You covered everything and this shows me that you must really liked the movie.
This movie was sooooo good that several sequences were made to include:
