Rashomon

Now I know that thanks to this film, the Rasemon Effect appeared — when one event is reproduced from several subjective contradictory points of view.

The building, which is divided vertically and dilapidated (its symmetry, I think, will be ingrained in memory for a long time), reminds of Japan in 1950, although the characters talk about other hard times. Eyewitness narrators say that people tend to see the good, but turn a blind eye to evil, and evil is everywhere in a person, it is an integral part. Why does the latest version seem the most plausible to us? Because everyone in it is a freak. But Kurosawa, in the scene with the child at the end, gives us hope and faith in humanity (or convinces himself?) that all is not lost.
