Overview
Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, "Rashomon" is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife.

00:03:43 Why don't you tell me about it?
00:05:13 but even I have never heard a story as horrible as this.
00:07:24 I went into the mountains to get wood.
00:12:52 The woman had a veil, so I couldn't see her face.

00:50:04 Maybe goodness is just make-believe.
00:52:51 She had never looked so beautiful.
00:55:15 Kill her or save her? You only have to nod.
