It seems that everyone is lying, and the funniest thing is that even the ghosts are lying. The robber hopes that he is full of arrogance, and the woman hopes that she will not leave her. The ghosts are the most ridiculous, and they are unwilling to face themselves when they die.

The acting skills are excellent. After listening to the four stories, all of them acted well. The last part of the fight is very different from the part the robber said.

Judging from the plot, since the robber can bind the man (ghost) with such inferior means, it can be seen that he is also an ordinary person. Bandit spirit is also commonplace. The woman was also pathetic. She thought she could go with the winner, but in the end both were losers.

Of course the fun part of the story is their confession, which in such a serious place becomes a show.

Some people say that Kurosawa likes to leave a trace of light in the dark. Probably refers to the end of the film, when the woodcutter picks up the baby. Of course I don't think so, maybe, he's going to sell kids anyway

    A fable, a play. ❶Although the three of them are competing to confess their guilt and seem to have a good attitude, they do not forget to maintain their image - robbers: conquer women and duel to defeat men. Women: Forced by a man's gaze to kill him unconsciously. Man: After pardoning the robber's sins, commit suicide and retain the remaining honor. There are different opinions, and there is no way to verify the truth. ❷ Revealing the old-fashioned truth through clear lines, lacking shocking and deafening strength; ❸ Beggars, woodcutters, and monks are like double/reincarnations of robbers, women, and men.

    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 worlds

Rashomon quotes

  • Priest: War, earthquake, winds, fire, famine, the plague. Year after year, it's been nothing but disasters. And bandits descend upon us every night. I've seen so many men getting killed like insects, but even I have never heard a story as horrible as this. Yes. So horrible. This time, I may finally lose my faith in the human soul. It's worse than worse than bandits, the plague, famine, fire or wars.

  • Commoner: Well, men are only men. That's why they lie. They can't tell the truth, even to themselves.

    Priest: That may be true. Because men are weak, they lie to deceive themselves.

    Commoner: Not another sermon! I don't mind a lie if it's interesting.
