Rashomon (1950)


An action film directed by Akira Kurosawa.
3 men seek shelter from the rain in some ruins. While they are there, they share conflicting versions of a story involving a husband and wife being attacked by a bandit.
Akira Kurosawa is proven to be the sensei of samurai cinema. This story was about who was lying to whom about what facts. Any way the story went, the husband's dead body was found in the end. The 3 men in the ruins argue about if there is any goodness in man or if the demon that haunts the ruins has been driven away in fear of humanity. I thought this was an awesome movie and would recommend it to anyone who likes classic cinema.
