Discuss the last point - how did the three of them leave Rashomon?

Rashomon is certainly an excellent movie. I read a few movie reviews and talked about it a lot, but I only mentioned the final result of the movie, sunset + woodcutter (baby) + monk, that's all. But everyone ignored how the woodcutter, monk and beggar left Rashomon. This is the final result of the movie.

Why does the baby appear inside the Rashomon instead of outside? Rashomon, in Japanese tradition, refers to the gate between the world and hell. If you put the baby outside Rashomon, you will see it all at once! But why wasn't the place where the three met inside the Rashomon? Because if there is a scene like a baby, it is an extreme test of the three people's personalities, so it would be better to put it in it. At that moment, they entered the "Rashomon". When the beggar heard the cry of the child, he immediately went over, and immediately took the clothes away, indicating that it was not the first time that the beggar had done this, and he was familiar with it.

Akira Kurosawa loves rain when making movies, and it is pouring rain. The beggar left when it was raining and went inside Rashomon, which shows that he will continue to sink in the ugliness of human nature. And what Rashomon does in real life, to put it bluntly, is Yizhuang. In Akutagawa Ryunosuke's original novel, it is a story that happened in Rashomon with the housekeeper and the old woman. In the end, the housekeeper will take away the old woman's clothes. I think the beggar may have gone inside to pick up the clothes again. The woodcutter holding the baby and the monk came out of Rashomon, which also means their detachment from the ugliness in human nature, and their kindness and kindness correspond to each other. The departure to the sunset after the rain shows that there is still hope for humanity in the director's heart.

    I have to say that this film can be regarded as a classic indeed worthy of its name, with clever narrative techniques and profound core connotations, which has indeed brought a lot of inspiration to many filmmakers. Where there is weakness, there will be lies, and you must not destroy your humanity for your own selfishness...

    You can basically have a psychological score after seeing the plot introduction, and then after watching the movie, you can see if there is any difference between that score and the real score.

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.
