Wrong, wrong!
Whether it is a ronin, a samurai, a woman; or a monk, a woodcutter and Beggars, they are all good! They should be selfish, they should do it, so say! I applaud for their performance!
Why?
Should you blame someone for their selfishness, or should you reflect on what caused their selfishness?
The root cause of the so-called selfishness and hypocrisy is the whole environment and the whole society!
What Rashomon showed us was the appearance of all living beings in the social environment at that time.
You think, ronin travels all over the world, relying on fame, if you don’t have fame, who can even look at the world? Women can only rely on chastity in that environment. If others know the facts of their unfaithfulness, the outcome can only be rejected by the society; as a samurai, you have to show fearless dedication. If you are cowardly let others know that you are The status no longer exists.
Can you blame the woodcutter for lying? He has 6 children to support, stealing knives in exchange for money to support his family. What if you choose before this choice? Can you blame the beggar? He doesn't even know where the next meal is. Why should he care about the life and death of a baby?
Hehe, life RPG, society has different evaluation standards for different roles. It is precisely because everyone bites the bullet to cater to these standards, and cares too much about the society's identification with their own performance, which has caused the so-called hypocrisy and lies.
If these are sins, they can only be said to be sins coined by society. In fact, one person is not qualified to evaluate the merits and demerits of society and the whole.
But is this a sin again? Can we say this is sin? The contradiction between the individual and the whole, the contradiction between the individual and the society, the contradiction between the self and others, this is rigid. What standard do you use to say: Telling the truth is right, lying, and being selfish is wrong?
If you always explain all problems with so-called moral concepts, and classify them as good or bad, then you may be too narrow-minded. This is a marginal question, not a question of right and wrong.
Hehe, using the logic at the end of the movie: Those who criticize hypocrisy and ugliness, are you the woodcutter?
I am also a woodcutter, let me listen to my nonsense.
