Synopsis

Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, "Rashomon" is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife.

adonis98-743-186503 A heinous crime and its aftermath are recalled from differing points of view. Rashômon is a japanese drama that instead of making people cry it makes them laugh and get bored and that's unfortunately sums up pretty much most of the movies that i have seen from the Top 250 films of all time so far and it's pretty sad i guess now as far as acting goes? the movie was horrible, as far as story goes? pretty much same level as well and as far as script goes? same track as well and if you love this kind of movies see it but if not? skip it and watch something else..
Yashua Kimbrough (jimniexperience) An account of rape told to the High Court from three different perspectives: the raper, the woman, and her prince who failed to protect her
efren_aa I'm actually mad with this movie. It's such a great effort in almost everything for such a poor execution in two major areas; the acting and the script. The former is so absurdly over-dramatic that it seems like a parody of itself, has comedy-like reactions without a link between them to feel organic, it's just laughable b-movie type ridiculousness. The latter just doesn't know how to handle the plot, it's a lowsy implementation of everything good with the story.The direction, of course, is magnificent. There's one point when two characters with opposite moral highgrounds naturally set upon a third character to represent his own disbelief with the situation he's in. It's beautiful and it's vivid.
Niaz Islam Arif Maybe 60 long years back this film was a masterpiece. But I watched it in 2017, I frankly did not find anything extraordinary. Even for the styles of 1950s, this film does not seemed as a movie of great content to me.The main reason the movie was mediocre is the story. The story was about mystery but they hyped it as it was a great mystery which baffled the characters of the film. But actually the mystery was stale and unappealing. In every version of the story the final outcome stays the same and there was not much variation between stories.In my opinion it was an average film, does not deserve this high ratings. If you did not watched it yet then do not feel obligated to watch it.
