Whose eyes does the lens see the world from?
In the narration of the robber Tajomaru, in his eyes, he is good at fighting and heroic, so the camera is shot upwards and highlights his face to shape his strong and powerful body outline.
In the woman's narration, she sees herself as vulnerable and helpless, so there are many overhead shots and shadows. She only remembers the expression of her husband's indifference and hatred, so she sees only this expression of her husband, and the scene is also tight. After a lot, her body was also suppressed by the scene.
The third paragraph narrates that the husband saw himself as tragic and romantic, so there are more empty shots in the camera, the trees are shadowy, and he imagines himself committing suicide with his lover's dagger. He is reluctant to admit defeat, self-deception and self-glorification is to die for love. So this robber Tajomaru mostly appears in the high light, while the wife is in the shadow of the betrayal, and her body is often in a distorted state.
The fourth narrator, the man who stole the dagger. In order to beautify the fact that he stole the dagger, he criticized and despised the three people from the perspective of the justice of the justice. Therefore, this shot is also closer to the omniscient perspective, and abnormal panoramas and close-ups appear, which is a point of view that is impossible for a real bystander to reach in the distance he described. In this shot, the three people who saw the incident through his eyes were panicking, throwing away their armor and armor, funny and panic. This is clearly a spiritual triumph for him to glorify the theft.
The shots are objective shots, but always with the subjective tendencies of the narrator. How people deceive and self-deception, the theme is even more profound.
In addition, there is a bald monk under Rashomon. He is actually the first narrator. He participates in it but is always safe. In his recollections, it is mostly a splendid mountain of flowers and trees. In the end, he gave a ray of light, which is probably the viewpoint left to the audience.
