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

Rashomon quotes

  • Masako: A man has to make a woman his by his sword.

  • Tajômaru: [recalling staring transfixed at the man's wife] I thought I saw a goddess. At that moment I decided to have her, even if I had to kill her man. But if I could have her without killing, all the better.
