Review of Rashomon (1950) by Brandon S — 07 Jun 2017
In the end it doesn't matter which of the stories is true. In truth, as the great Robert Altman once said of this film, "they're all true, and none of them are." Those trying to decipher the mystery itself have missed the point, in my opinion.
"Rashomon" is about the nature of truth and justice; the separation between truth and facts, and the sad cynicism of the sinful nature. People are capable of great cruelty and evil; man's inhumanity to man fills this movie, but, even in the end, we're left with hope, ambiguous as it may be.
