    The fighting scenes are real and dangerous, and the discussion and disputes on human nature at the end sublime the film. The last description of the crime scene is too bright, and the three people's reactions are very different, which is really admirable. //[20181223 China Film Archive Screening] 4K restoration version.

    The beggar left behind the Rasho Gate. He believed that he saw human nature clearly and he entered the majestic rain of hell; the woodcutter took the child into the light from the front door, and he brought the child into the world with a guilty conscience; The life gate, the suffering of the world and the faith of oneself devote themselves to the thinking of the two...

    8/10. The camera editing skills have an unattainable charm. The woodcutter entered the mountain until he saw a woman's hat on the branch. The wide-angle overhead shot showed dazzling sunlight through the intertwined branches, and the smooth panning cut into the close-up made the camera lose its direction. There is a sense of urgency, and the robber’s unstable follow-up shot highlights his ecstatic mood; the monk misses the samurai couple walking in reverse, and only through a complete shot of...

    (9/10) The essence of this film is concentrated in the second half, but without the foreshadowing of the first half, this work cannot become a classic. The film version is actually a combination of two short stories by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest".

    People just think they are honest, and where there is weakness there is a lie. But everyone has weakness inside, and builds the illusion that everyone uses lies to show, and how long does it take for the dark Rashomon in everyone's heart to clear...

    Since then, the same movies and events have been called Rashomon, and many Kurosawa Akira's attitudes towards war and history can be seen. Kazuo Miyagawa's photography, and the soundtrack by Fumio Hayasaka, highlight that women are also stronger than men. I lied because of my own vulnerability, I couldn’t be frank with myself, and I couldn’t talk about others, and I couldn’t live without being selfish. After the great sorrow, there is hope, walking out of the ruins of the forest, holding the...

Rashomon quotes

  • Masako: Wait! Stop! Either you die or my husband dies. One of you must die. To have my shame known to two men is worse than dying. I will go with the survivor.
