The success of "Rashomon" is due to the director's outstanding talent on the one hand, and the original novel by Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the other hand. Taking the idea of the novel "Rashomon" as the background and the plot of "In the Wilderness" as the main body, the director has made many adaptations of the original work, not only adding characters and changing the plot, but also enriching and deepening the connotation of the original work with film techniques.
"Rashomon" is adapted from the novels "In the Wilderness" and "Rashomon" by author Akutagawa Ryunosuke. The background of the film is taken from the novel "Rashomon", and the plot is mainly taken from the novel "In the Wilderness". Different from the complicated and confusing case of the original case, the film gives the truth of the murder through the second narration of the woodcutter: the real murderer is the robber Tajomaru. However, the fact that several of the parties involved claimed to be the murderer is quite interesting, which reflects the complexity of human nature at a deep level. In fact, it is not important to find out the truth. Director Akira Kurosawa's intention is to guide the audience to pay more attention to human nature, to pay attention to how to abandon the evil side of human nature and move towards a bright future.
