There is nothing called absolute truth- It is how you percieve something that becomes your version of it, or what you and how you want to remember it!

@normansmother1 Thank you for your comments. I agree that we should encourage movie producers and companies to restore as many old films as possible; it makes a world of difference in the experience, the appreciation of all of the dimensions of this kind of art.

Suck on titty 0:32

[Trors]

Akutagawa! <3

[danimass]

watch?v=Q8SP4MH9ToQ

[higashioosaka]

it is a work of art!

[ShinobiBoiX]

Amazing movie.

[videopalitalia]

Yes, this is one of my favourite movies of all time because it shows us that different points-of-view are an integral part of life. We all need to have more "give and take" with each other as tolerance and forgiveness are the cornerstones of peace and justice...Wayne Kurtz.

[Valtmx52109]

what a great movie

is so cool

but i hope they make the movie with subtitles in spanish

[makaronassss]

can some1 tell me the kind of japanese music played at part 0:49-0:51 with the harp and the xylophone thing?

[Taufiqulislamsazal]

The edge of a samurai sword is drawing a bird on the ground, a tiger is watching with all its agility and calmness, the thunderbolt is tearing apart the cloudy sky, a poem is written, it is to be grasped with all its mirror images...Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune: The Samurai Sword and the Tiger!!!

GRANDE REGISTA!!! sto cercando il film TRONO DI SANGUE del 1957! da vedere poi intero! comunque grazie x ricordaci dei film a volte dimenticati !!!! ciao e buona giornata da YV:-)))

[decembertwilight1225]

yeah this movie was very good and intriguing even at a purely visual level.. I feel the same way about much of Tarkovsky's work

[carunai]

kamal renamed this movie in tamil as virumandi

[TrevRockOne]

Man, the updated soundtrack sounds *so* good.

[directorlog]

he's shot are sharp, Akira Kurosawa.

[TrevRockOne]

I wish more of Kurosawa's movies had trailers as good as this one.

[msromyilano]

this film is one of the lasting impressions of my youth... oh man kurosawa was a mad genius.

[fejleszteskft]

A very good comedy with a lot of phylosophy. One of the best movies!

[Tumbrellas]

Where do you think Quentin Tarantino got his ideas from?

[TheGnegno]

@Tumbrellas

From Sergio Leone... who took his ideas from Kurosawa xD

[Tumbrellas]

@TheGnegno :)

[epicvlas]

a cinematic masterpice !

[NileMr]

Interestingly this film didnt receive much credit in Japan, some decided it was only admired because it was "exotic" and more western than most Japanese films. However, its profound influence especially on philosophy and Martin Heidegger in particular is worth studying.

[hobogasm]

sadly a lot of people do admire it more because its exotic, especialy film fans who often want to take on a guise of being cultured in that easy to check-list kind of way. its not a japanese film, its a film. a good one too.

[ninjastealth86]

the music for this trailer is awesome!

[gloriaiskenyan]

so is this movie like a game of telephone?

[TrevRockOne]

@gloriaiskenyan No, basically the parties involved all have a motive for telling the story in a certain way; for their would be great shame brought upon each of them if they didn't.

[zerattus1982]

Great movie!!!Один из моих любимых фильмов

[Digatone]

Rashomon was seen on TCM-Turner Classic Movies

[keikoreo]

My grandmother saw this in Tokyo in 1950. When I brought it out on DVD the other day, she absolutely lit up. She hadn't seen it in sixty years but remembered how much she enjoyed the film--especially Toshiro Mifune!

[pickks4fship]

raavan

[rofea]

The restored dolby digital sound in this preview sounds completely awful compared to the original.

[zzzzz19911009]

masterpiece

[BeWaTer99]

Kinda overrated IMHO. Kurosawa has plenty of better films.

[begrackled]

Kurosawa, god bless him, was a moralist. This film was (imo) a strong rebuttal against the iconic but very bleak Akutagawa short story of the same name.

[shnipswill]

Si vous ne savez pas quoi louer .....

[buque]

one of the greatest movies ever made by a master of the cinema. rest in peace akira kurosawa.

[buque]

one of the greatest movies ever made by a master of the cinema. rest in piece akira kurosawa.

[Insilencedance]

Hace 100 años que nace Kurosawa y hace más de 10 años que se nos fue, pero su esencia queda en sus películas, esas maravillosas cintas que se han quedado grabadas en nuestras retinas. No puedo decir larga vida al maestro porque este señor ya es Inmortal!! y Rashomon es una obra maestra!

[mvies77]

I saw this on TV at age 10 and I was inthralled. The light through the trees. The clouds. The various interpretations. The drama. I knew I was watching something unique and brilliant and I never forgot it. It is a haunting movie that lingers in your imagination. He was a genius.

[1991jerzy]

I love every Kurosawas movie,special Seven Samurai.

[midgeman18]

The movie Ghost Dog turned me on to this i gotta read the book first though before i see this movie

[eppeone]

I saw this movie without any knowledge of japanese cinema, or Kurosawa, and I believe it was on TCM... The story was just so superbly made and articulated, and I was truly fascinated by this movie... I have since become a big fan of Japanese cinema, but this movie holds a special place in my soul, and I would love to see it in it's restored glory..

[niall29]

Any recommendations other than some of the obvious japanese films?

[jimminie]

@eppeone @eppeone thailand is now remaking this moving called U Mong Pa Meung

[mmindj]

@jimminie Japan is the inspiration for U Mong Pa Meung. Thai people are so thankful.

Rashomon is really great movie!

[MrPibbs100]

epic movie!

[pipahijau]

great editing

[VICTORHUGOGO]

que increible imagen para una pelicula tremenda! se merece eso y mas...

aguante kurosawa!

[angelskathy]

digital remastered version? sound is clear. i want to watch.

[DeMichaelSuperFan]

I was just reading the story and it mentioned that there was a filmed based off it, so I had to check it out. I wanna see this!!

[shieldforumJim]

my god, fantastic quality...

is it being released for DVD? D:

[Gibling]

The music starting at 0:52 is like a Japanese version of Bolero.

[heartattacker4]

Great movie!!!

[meaLmiLmeaL777]

this is a great film.. =')

[RobinatorWake13]

when does this restored version become available?

[tasgeo]

One of the two or three most important movies ever made. The story of human communication in a world where people live next to each other yet in completely different universes. The cynic, the idealist and the simple everyday fallible person. Who holds the hope of mankinds future ? Magnificent as a concept, frightening as a story, technically superb and philosophically unsurpassed. I don't think there are enough stars to rate this movie.

[htube1101]

Rashomon is a very thought stimulating movie. It makes us look at the same thing from different angles...it's a timeless piece...a lot other movies copied this idea but never quite came close....

[youtubister]

@tasgeo

Spot on. A devastating movie. One of the best things ever to have been committed to celluloid.

Rating: 11/10.

[tasgeo]

@youtubister I am glad that you find it so important too. Yes the rating is indeed 11/10 and every time I watch it I find new things that make it even more exciting and hair raising. This movie is an incredible achievement and the more I observe the world around us the more I realize that it addresses the very core of the problem. Nobody else has even been close to addressing such an important issue in such a genius way. Incredible !!!

[kbbryson]

@tasgeo What are the other two movies?

[tasgeo]

@kbbryson It is not easy of course to name just two or three movies as "best" ever and this is maybe very subjective but in my opinion the other two are "2001 A Space Odyssey" and "Citizen Kane" Of course there are many others with extremely important messages but these three deal with the aspects of human nature in an incredibly astute and complete way which doesn't leave many new things for the other movies to say. I can further discuss this but unfortunately there is not much space here.

[Boudosaved]

@tasgeo What are the other two or three?

[tasgeo]

@Boudosaved Hi, this is a very good question and even though it is not easy to mention two or three movies as the best or most important ever, I must say that there are some that make it to that category at least as far as dealing with the very core of human existence is concerned. Please check my answer below to @kbbryson where I had answered the same question. I mentioned "2001 A space Odyssey" and "Citizen Kane". I wish we had more space here to discuss about this further.

[Boudosaved]

@tasgeo Well, this is not an easy question to answer. However, if you are into existentialism as expressed through the medium of film, or in particular Japanese film, I recommend the films of Hiroshi Teshigarha. Woman in the Dunes, Pitfall and The Face of Another. You may also delve into films by Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, Michelangelo Antoninoi....(oh I could go on forever, but these are a good start).

[tasgeo]

@Boudosaved Thank you they sound very interesting. I have seen and I like very much Tarkovsky, Bergman (The Seventh Seal is one of my very favorite movies), Bresson and Antonioni but I did not know about Teshigarha, I will definitely check this out. Yes you are right one could go on forever with the great movies that gave something unique and that is why it is not easy to mention just a few as "the best".

[Khaatab716]

Wow I took a whole class in my college on Akira Kurosawa, and this movie is just so epic, its sad the world today is deprived of such an artistic masterpiece.
