Review of Rashomon (1950) by Toad T — 26 Feb 2013
Rashomon is a splendid and memorable film from Akira Kurosawa. It studies human values and morals, constantly making us wonder what is the true story behind the events that surround the murder of a man.
I enjoyed seeing each character's perspective of the same happening and how they are all motivated by a strong set of principles that were consistent with the feudal period of the japanese history.
The acting is top-notch from the whole cast and I really like how raw and intense the sword fighting sequences between the bandit and the murdered man were. I could feel their desperation and how they were practically being moved only by primal instincts.
Akira Kurosawa masterfully explores the human nature and moral ambiguities, making Rashomon a must-see for all movie lovers out there.
