| Q: Why was Rashomon significant? What does it say about Truth and subjective point of view? Who tells the truth in this story? Does the tag-on ending about the three men “finding something” tell us if Kurosawa feels there is any hope for us in this evil world? (I don’t want to give it away if you didn’t watch it.) |
|
Definition
| A: Rashomon was significant because it was a cynical film on humanity and showed how evil man can be. None of the characters tell the truth about what happened. In the end the three men discover an abandoned baby, it sends the message that there is still hope when the man who had lied about stealing the dagger is willing to take the child into his care. |
