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.
