The truth of life

Among the movies I have seen, "Rashomon" is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It reveals the truth of life, like a sharp blade across the skin, both painful and quick. The truth is that there are only facts in this world, not truth. The more narrators, the further away we are from reality. Everyone sees the world from their own point of view, abides by the rational person assumption in economics, and pursues the maximization of their own interests. Warriors, robbers, wives, and farmers are no better. Therefore, truth is ugly and truth is not important. When things happen, the key is how to face them, how to solve problems, and give tomorrow an answer and reason, rather than being entangled with the past. Walk into "Rashomon" and then walk out of "Rashomon", and you will become mature alone. This is the charm and value of artistic masterpieces.

    Lies are the life-saving straw for humanity

    People just think they are honest, and where there is weakness there is a lie. But everyone has weakness inside, and builds the illusion that everyone uses lies to show, and how long does it take for the dark Rashomon in everyone's heart to clear up?

Rashomon quotes

  • Tajômaru: [Recalls luring the wife to the grove after telling her her husband has been bitten] She became very pale and stared at me as though her eyes were frozen. She looked like a child when it turns suddenly serious. The sight of her made me jealous of that man. I started to hate him. I wanted to show her what he looked like, all tied up like that. I hadn't even thought of a thing like that before, but now I did.

  • Woodcutter: I don't understand. I just don't understand. I don't understand it at all. I just don't understand.
