      Rashomon--Analysis of the Artistic Features of Rashomon

      Rashomon, one of the masterpieces of Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa, was released in 1950. The film, starring famous actors at the time, Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura, tells the scene from different perspectives of the murderer, the victim, and bystanders in a murder in the woods. Through mature photography techniques, the atmosphere of the whole film is confusing and even brings a bit of weirdness, and...

      Throw and give to the high ughsioghdighso

      I didn't understand it the first time I watched it. If the stories told by the three parties seem dark, then the last story, the real, unacceptable story, is completely dark. It subverts everything before, it is shocking, and it makes people breathless. Everything is so ugly. And this kind of ugliness is not realized by the contrast between beauty and ugliness, but by the contrast between evil and great evil. The three of them all try to portray themselves as completely white, and the...

      Rashomon is performed every day.

      "If people in this world no longer trust each other, what is the difference between this and hell." Said the monk in the play.
      Unfortunately, this world is not heaven.
      If lying does not harm the interests of others and saves oneself from harm, should it not be blamed in itself?
      If lying is only to protect others from certain information, certain actions, should this kind of white lie should be promoted?
      If lying harms the interests of others and benefits oneself, should such...

      History was undiscovered when it happened, and reorganized when it was discovered.

      "Rashomon" is a Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa, based on the novel "In the Bamboo Forest" by Akutagawa Ryunosuke. I've never actually read Akutagawa Ryunosuke's work, but I know he is San Mao's favorite and adored writer, especially the "Kappa," who committed suicide in 1927 and then in 1991. I don't have much to say about this movie more than 60 years ago, but I can use a sentence of my favorite late writer Shi Tiesheng to illustrate: History was not discovered when it happened, and...

      freedom within the framework

      It is really good works that can arouse people's feelings from multiple angles.
        Therefore, the simpler it is, the more thought-provoking it is.
        
        
        The director expresses the basic point of view, good and evil, human nature, honesty, selfishness. This defines the frame of the film.
        But within this framework, the director did not say a word. This kind of non-directive narrative not only makes the seemingly closed story more possible, but also a drama that goes...

      Rewatch. If there is no trust between people, what is the difference between this world and hell. Akira Kurosawa's first truly master work. Will watch...

      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...

      #North Film Festival Review# There are obvious rhythm rules in the use of audio-visual elements. First watch it with the sound on, then watch it with the sound off, and carefully appreciate the rhythm between the picture and the editing. How was the follow-up shot of Tajomaru and the stickman running through the bushes? In 1988, the 82-year-old photographer Kazuo Miyagawa visited China. He said that after racking their brains, everyone came up with a solution: to set the camera high and fix it,...

      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...

      Why do we always live so tired? In the past, I thought it was because we had to cover up our true selves and lie all the time, and live it for others to see. After watching Rashomon, I thought that people lie because of cowardice. Because I am afraid that others will not be able to accept the truth, I actually cannot see my own soul clearly, and gain temporary peace of mind in self-anesthesia; however, self-examination is the spark of life in a world where people lie to...

    Movie plot

    Rashomon, the south gate of Kyoto, Japan. The walking monk, woodcutter and beggar sheltered from the rain under the city gate. The three chatted, the topic began, and the prologue of the story opened: when a samurai and his wife passed by a barren mountain, they encountered an accident. The wife was insulted, and the samurai was brutally killed. The thieves, the wives of the samurai, and the dead souls of the samurai all have their own...

    Evaluation action

    "Rashomon" cleverly adapted the plot of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's novel, using a unique method of multiple parallel narratives to tell the death in the jungle. The monologues of each character in the film are fragments of the entire event. After being refracted by people's selfish nature, these monologues themselves become unreliable. For the same reason, the narrators who relay these monologues are also unreliable. The film reflects the...

    Movie quotes

    • Commoner: But is there anyone who's really good? Maybe goodness is just make-believe.

      Priest: What a frightening...

      Commoner: Man just wants to forget the bad stuff, and believe in the made-up good stuff. It's easier that way.

    • Priest: It's horrifying. If men don't trust each other, this earth might as well be hell.

      Commoner: That's right. The world's a kind of hell.

      Priest: No! I believe in men. I don't want this place to be hell.

      Commoner: Shouting doesn't help. Think about it. Out of these three, whose story is believable?

      Woodcutter: No idea.

      Commoner: In the end, you cannot understand the things men do.

    • Commoner: It's human to lie. Most of the time we can't even be honest with ourselves.
