What ideas does Akira Kurosawa s Rashomon express?

The film "Rashomon" is set in a case, depicts the ugly side of human nature, reveals the untrustworthiness and unknowability of human beings, but the humanized turn at its end changes the original despair of the whole world and the doubt of objective truth to the final emphasis on human credibility, praising the victory of humanism and the revival of morality. The positive theme and novel and unique structure, as well as the resulting legend, have made Rashomon universally acclaimed.

After the release of Rashomon, it first caused a sensation in Europe and then in the United States"Kurosawa is hot", Kurosawa is also known for"Akira Kurosawa of the world"。"Rashomon" first intrigued us because it is a masterpiece of cinematic art. In addition to this, it has considerable historical significance, because it was this film that introduced the world to a whole set of national genres called Japanese cinema.

After the success of Rashomon, we began to see a constant stream of beautiful and pleasing Japanese films, which added to and enriched our film experience.

Akira Kurosawa'sRashomonThe truth of the story is:

"Rashomon" through the three parties with different styles and seemingly contradictory narratives, we can see the subtlety and fragility of the love between the sexes, carrying loyalty, trust, and responsibility, it is difficult for it to resist the deliberate destruction of outsiders.

An originally beautiful love can be destroyed in an instant. The three parties' accounts of the incident are in line with their respective identities and circumstances, and are not deliberate lies, but one-sided truth. This kind of one-sided truth is often the carrier of human nature.

"Rasho Bird Rolling Ruler Gate" is a clever adaptation of Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

**, which adopts a unique approach of multiple parallel narratives, tells the story of the death in the jungle. The monologues of each character in the film are fragments of the whole event, and the refraction of the selfish nature of man makes the monologue itself unreliable, and in the same way, the narrator who paraphrases these monologues is also unreliable.

Rashomon, the southernmost gate of Kyoto, Japan. A wandering monk, a woodcutter, and a beggar take shelter from the rain under the city gates, and the three of them chat, and the topic begins, and the story begins: a samurai and his wife pass by a barren mountain and meet with an accident.

The wife was insulted, and the samurai was brutally killed. How is it made? **, wives, and witches who testify by the souls of samurai martyrs, all have their own theories.

There is only one truth, but the purpose for which each person gives testimony is different. In order to glorify their morals, mitigate their sins, and cover up their faults, everyone began to tell a version of the story that glorified them. The ** on the barren mountain has become a fog that cannot be cleared away.

After the discussion, the rain passed and the sky was clear. The woodcutter found a crying abandoned baby next to Rashomon. He decided to adopt the baby and walked into the sunset with the baby in his arms.

The movie Rashomon is based on the combination of "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a Japanese ** family.

The storyline Mai Mu has made it very clear that Akutagawa has always had great doubts about human nature, believing that human nature is inherently evil. The so-called Rashomon is the gate of evil. There is no truth in it, everyone beautifies themselves, covers up their ugliness, and tells different versions for their own interests.

Rashomon, the gate of evil without truth. This is more thought-provoking than why the plot is made.

Usually the purpose of a movie is nothing more than to reflect real social issues, and Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon" is no exception. A long time ago, ancient Chinese thinkers summed up the principle of "pure heart and few desires".

Based on the background of the film, I think the theme reflected is "Where there is weakness, there is a lie." "They do it to survive, and the harsher and sharper the standards of social morality, the easier it is for people to lie.

In his autobiography, Akira Kurosawa explicitly stated the allegorical nature of Rashomon: "This script is about the nature of people who cannot live without pretense. It depicts the innate sinfulness of man, the unchangeable nature of man, and focuses on the incomprehensibility of the human heart. ”

And Rashomon's noun interpretation mainly refers to everyone making up their own lies for their own benefit, so that the truth is not known, and this word is often used in various news newspaper headlines, ** and the like.

The influence of "Rashomon" is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In today's world of information development, many people only know that "Rashomon" represents the meaning of "each has its own saying", but they do not know the source of this statement.

In fact, although this statement was not coined by Akira Kurosawa, it was carried forward by his film "Rashomon". So, what theme does the movie "Rashomon" want to express? Personally, I think that what the movie wants to express is the evil of human nature.

Under the pouring rain, ** happened, but everyone's statement was completely different. The robber said that he had defeated the samurai and received his beautiful wife from the samurai; His wife said that she was a person who valued honor, and that she had accidentally injured the samurai by accident and caused his accident; The samurai, on the other hand, said through a psychic medium that it was because his wife had betrayed him.

The final finale reveals the truth through the woodcutter's mouth. It turned out that the robber lied because he wanted to satisfy his vanity before he died; The samurai's wife deliberately lied that she was a martyr because she didn't want to be ruined; And the samurai are there to cover up their incompetence ......

Everyone chooses to turn a blind eye to certain facts for the sake of their own interests, and even more so they will deceive, that is, they will do whatever it takes for their own interests. In the long run, our world will be as dark as Rashomon.

I think this is one of the themes that the movie "Rashomon" wants to express: the evil of human nature! The darkness of human nature!

Fortunately, at the end, the master still left us a little fire, and the woodcutter, who had betrayed his conscience for profit, finally chose to adopt the abandoned baby. This is the second theme that "Rashomon" wants to express: no matter how many bad things you have done, sooner or later you will embark on the road to salvation!

So, in a word, the theme of the whole movie is - sin and redemption!

"If people can't trust each other, then what's the difference between this world and hell, this world is hell in the first place" "Rashomon" each says its own words and does not know the truth, and Kurosawa uses this story of the samurai being killed to explain human nature to us. His take on this humanity. In a story where there is only one truth, the story is confusing through the descriptions of different people.

I ended up not being able to judge which one was the truth.

When people often describe a thing, they always beautify themselves, magnify others, and erase information that is unfavorable to themselves, which is the instinct of human beings and human nature! It's also in our nature. At the end of the film, the scene where the woodcutter takes the baby away can still reflect the simple kindness and beauty that we still have.

The story is about the shortcomings of human nature, and when we encounter something, we will choose to avoid things that are related to us and that are not good for us. It will even magnify the facts that should not exist in order to achieve the result of escaping the facts. But there is still the kindness and good heart of the rich human being.

"Rashomon" is not big in terms of story, but in terms of theme expression, it brings us a film about the torture of human nature that transcends time and space. "Rashomon" seems to be expressing the discussion sparked by a ** case, but the theme of Kurosawa's film is not always so easy to be seen through, and when you really see through it, you will find that this is the real human nature.

"Rashomon" started from a ** case, and led to a number of witnesses, but the testimony of each witness is different, **, wife, witch Each of the testimony is trying their best to beautify their ugliness, and they are trying their best to clear their suspicions, and in their seemingly objective eyewitness testimony, all of them are "perjury" that they have carefully embellished.

This movie may have more realistic significance in today's society. If you remember a little girl who was hit by a car, none of the more than 50 passers-by rescued her, all pretending not to see it, all of them became cold-eyed bystanders, but even bystanders, their hands were already stained with the blood of the deceased.

The general meaning is that different people will always give you different answers

Everyone ,..All change reality for their own benefit. In the end, even the only credible version is considered.

is false. When it's time of despair. Throw torches into the rain to quench hope.

The baby's cry gives hope to all. Fully dissect the essence of human nature. The ugliness is described intuitively, and the ending is half happy and half compromised, which gives the audience hope for life.

Rashomon Mountain Nai Pai is a watershed of Akira Kurosawa's second and third periods of film creation. （）

a.That's right. b.Mistake.

Correct answer: B

The significance of Rashomon is that the truth is distorted and obscured, but more importantly, whether it is a robber, a samurai, a samurai's wife or a woodcutter, they are all weak human beings, and in order to cover up Wang Xiao's weakness, they made up big lies to make themselves seem to the outside world to be sleepy and great, which is in line with the truth of Lincoln, the former ** of the United States.

We always think that the truth will be revealed to the world just like the truth, but in fact, the truth is not natural, it requires human judgment. Since we are a whole of interests that tear each other apart, and everyone is speaking for themselves, many times we cannot get the only truth. That's the brilliance of Rashomon, and it points to something that we don't want to believe but that actually exists.

The strong sunlight hit the two of them through the gaps in the leaves, and the shock was very strong. The most famous shot of this segment is a close-up of a woman's hand clutching on a man's sweaty back.

The film uses a murder case as a clue, and uses the courtroom of different witnesses, as well as each of them's cover-up of facts, as well as the beautification of themselves, so that people continue to explore the relationship between truth and lies.

The ingenuity of this film lies in the details, in the reality of the detailed elaboration of the impact on the ideal and reality, in reality, people are more accustomed to the idealization, self-righteous topics to express, but ignore the most real feelings in the heart, in the truth and lies, it is also difficult to distinguish the truth from their own value, life, when it will really let our hearts be blinded, so that lies can run rampant in the world, nothing more than people's greed.

The movie is a post-World War II, an artistic work, for later generations of films have this very great guiding use, as far as the film is concerned, the film embodies a philosophical problem, that is, the things you see, the things you see in the eyes of others and the truth He is actually different from the three things, so there will be different narratives and statements for everyone, which is also whether we want to pursue the truth or keep the memory that we hope in our hearts. It is also a way for people to continue to explore the truth.

It can be said that before "Rashomon", there was no status of Japanese films in the world film industry, but after "Rashomon", when it comes to Japanese films, many foreigners, especially Westerners, have begun to know that Japanese movies can also be made very well, and they praise director Akira Kurosawa.

This is reflected in the film awards, "Rashomon" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, and also won an honorable mentions, which undoubtedly opened the door to American cinema for Akira Kurosawa, and in the art awards, it won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, so that Japanese films have gained great fame in Europe.

Therefore, many people say that although Kurosawa is the emperor of Japan, he belongs to the West, and he is different from Yasujiro Ozu, who belongs to Japan itself, but even if it is defined in this way, it is difficult to deny Kurosawa's contribution to Japanese films. In terms of the theme of the film itself, he undoubtedly opened up a kind of thinking called "open ending" and "parallel interpretation", where people told stories before only stayed at the linear level of the story, that is, time followed an arrow forward, and the story had only one interpretation, and similarly, there was only one answer. But in this film, there can be multiple open versions of the story, and the adaptation of "Rashomon" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa has made this model of the unclear nature of events a common vocabulary in the world since then.

Therefore, whether it is in news reports or in various strange dramas, people often use the "Rashomon" incident to define it to explain the ins and outs of the event or story.

That is, the film not only raised the status of Japanese cinema itself, but also produced a socio-cultural phenomenon.

This film had a huge impact at the time, not only won the Venice and Oscar awards, but also allowed foreigners to witness that Asia can also have amazing works, so why does such a film have so much magic and can win so many awards? First of all, here is my brief review of the movie:

Human nature has selfishness and deception, but also has sincere hope, Kurosawa Akira's "Rashomon" through a **, the use of multiple parallel narrative techniques, so that each character in the film can perfectly conclude the core structure of the subject, selfish lies will fall into the truth into a whirlpool, the movie is full of philosophical presentation of the Rashomon written by Akutagawa Ryunosuke. - Dream poems.

The first thing that had a profound impact on later film works was its narrative technique, which seemed to be particularly alternative at the time, and later became the object of emulation by many master directors, especially in photography, even Zhang Yimou, who is known as a national teacher, can see his reference to Akira Kurosawa, director of "Rashomon", in many works.

These are just the effects of "Rashomon" on cinematic prowess, and the deeper impact of this work is that it captures the ugliest side of human nature, as I mentioned in my brief review, "selfish lies that bring the truth into a vortex". When human nature is blinded by interests, all the so-called truth is just a personal subjective consciousness, and the film's more profound philosophy is actually how to look at the world we live in objectively and dialectically, and this kind of thinking and enlightenment is the most far-reaching impact this film has on the world.
