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.
00:15:11 I fell off the horse? You fool!
00:19:30 Maybe that's why.
00:23:25 Walk ahead of me.
00:31:40 I will go with the survivor.
00:36:01 It had pearl inlay. Looked very valuable.
00:38:12 What story did the woman come up with?
00:42:47 Don't.
00:47:40 I was standing by the pond
00:49:59 Suit yourself.
00:52:31 Leave the husband and why not marry him instead?
00:54:25 Even the bandit turned pale at those words.
01:00:30 Then someone quietly approached me.
01:02:59 You already said that.
01:04:30 And if you don't want my dirty money, I'll even work.
01:06:53 At this stage, I'd rather lose her instead of the horse.
01:09:54 A man has to make a woman his by his sword.
01:20:18 What's it to you?
01:21:45 And you aren't? That's funny.
01:25:18 I don't understand my own soul.
