neutral · AI labelView post →Husband is watching Rashomon. I am helping (saying 'that's not how I remember it' in the Homer Simpson voice & occasionally commenting on how handsome Toshiro Mifune is)
neutral · AI labelView post →I am actually sort of sympathetic to people thinking this because so many Americans' first Kurosawa film is RASHOMON which is one of his most homework and (frankly least good) movies
negative · AI labelView post →August 25, 1950: "Rashomon", Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa, starring Toshiro Mifune and Machiko Kyō, is released (Honorary Academy Award 1952).

neutral · AI labelView post →Actor Toshiro Mifune in “Rashomon”, 1951, directed by Akira Kurosawa. Japan.
neutral · AI labelView post →About to show @sirosenbaum.bsky.social RASHOMON (1950) for the first time I'm gonna make the cats watch too, so we can have as many different perspectives on the film as possible
neutral · AI labelView post →in retrospect it is odd to see the bones of what would become the adult animated comedy, complete with a lovable heel main character who acts above everything, but much like Rashomon, this film was already subverting the tropes it ended up popularizing.
neutral · AI labelView post →When you tell a film student that you never saw Rashomon
neutral · AI labelView post →The thing about Rashomon is that most people think from osmosis that it's a movie about the unreliability of memory and the unknowability of truth and then the actual movie is about how people be lying yo
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think RASHOMON is a bad movie exactly but there's like, 15? 20? better features he directed
negative · AI labelView post →On this day (31st December) in 1987, the Scala Cinema was showing Rashomon and Ran as an Akira Kurosawa double bill.
neutral · AI labelView post →The first Sex and the City movie is 2 hours and 25 minutes long. Rashomon is only 88 minutes long.
neutral · AI labelView post →RASHOMON (Akira Kurosawa, 1950). Kurosawa’s samurai films have been huge gaps for me, so what better way to watch this than on a big screen at the PCC! A gripping, brilliantly constructed film about the unknowability of the truth when faced with four different versions of a tragic event. (1/2)
positive · AI labelView post →I rewatched Yojimbo today. Amazing obviously, all time great film. Could not help but be fascinated by Kannuki the Giant. Aka the 6"8 Tsunagoro Rashomon. Ex-rikishi and the original JWA wrestling giant in the 50's, before Baba.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (with scenes from the Akira Kurosawa film "Rashomon", based upon Akutagawa's short story "In a Grove", with the title and framing story taken from Akutagawa's "Rashōmon") - BOTD

neutral · AI labelView post →Like the Kurosawa film Rashomon, except it’s me and three friends trying to figure out how to split the dinner bill.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not just talking about the Rashomon sequence (which was straight-up brilliant filmmaking), but the vision Rey and Kylo shared and discussed in the elevator. They saw the same thing and drew different conclusions about what the outcome would be based on their own points of view.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rashomon is a Kurosawa movie about a group of people telling a story of how a samurai was murdered, but they each have their own version of how it happened.
neutral · AI labelView post →Director/Co-Writer Akira Kurosawa’s stone cold classic ‘Rashomon’ starring Toshiro Mifune debuted internationally at the Venice Film Festival seventy-five years ago this week (August 1951) ☠️ ⁉️ 😶🌫️ #OTD "𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚒𝚎.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think one of the reasons glass onion is panned as bad despite being a great portrait of exactly how fucking stupid elon musk is is because it's a straight up Rashomon being served to an audience that definitely did not watch Rashomon and didn't appreciate having to watch the same movie twice.

neutral · AI labelView post →A Rashomon movie, with viewpoints from Mom and BIL and Lorry Driver and …
neutral · AI labelView post →the simpsons joke about Rashomon is the all-time funniest tv joke about a movie, second only to the joke about Barton Fink from, that’s right, the simpsons.
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently Spike Lee is going to remake a Kurosawa movie starring Denzel Washington, ASAP Rocky, and Ice Spice... All I'm gonna say is that if it's Rashomon, then she has the perfect inroad to add "that boy's a liar" 1 and 2 to the soundtrack
neutral · AI labelView post →wow, Rashomon was an extremely good movie... there's SO many gorgeous shots and little subtleties...
positive · AI labelView post →The thing is, I don't think RASHOMON is a very good example of the gimmick it supposedly invented. I don't hold that against it (it's an interesting movie in its own right regardless) but like, say, the AHHH! REAL MONSTERS parody of it is a better example of the gimmick than the actual thing is

positive · AI labelView post →This is a sci-fi version of Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, about conflicting accounts of a murder: 1) The bandit says he seduced the wife and killed the samurai in a duel 2) The wife says she was raped 3) The samurai's ghost says he killed himself 4) An impartial witness tells the truth
unlabelledView post →Film buffs: I love unreliable narrator novels (eg, Pale Fire). The quintessential example in movies is The Sixth Sense. Others: Rashomon, The Usual Suspects, the woefully underrated The Last Duel. You got others?
unlabelledView post →If you've read the story, the movie will be confusing, as it's mostly based on another tale by the same author. "In a Grove" is the meat of the script here, whereas the actual Rashomon is present only in fragments. Strange choice but great film. #filmsky #japan #physicalmedia #akirakurosawa
unlabelledView post →I actually dig that question. I mean it's impossible to be slop **and** quality, but the underlying idea of "movies that became popular because they simply were good" I like. Movies that (at the time of the shooting) have no star actors, well-known directors and do not build on a world/lore that is already well established with a big fan base (like LOTR). Movies that are just good because the work is phenomenal and nobody who walked into the movie when it came out could have predicted this.…

unlabelledView post →Do these people leave Rashomon thinking they've seen a film about parallel universes? Do they hear the Death Cab lyrics about "and all that's left is a version of events...favorably framed for the sake of self-defense" and not get what it's about?

unlabelledView post →Also dude's name is Rashomon. Ends up in a Kurosawa movie. J. Jonah Jameson: "What are the odds?"
unlabelledView post →Legendary Toshiro Mifune was BOTD in 1920 & died in 1997 at 77. I love him in Kurosawa's comedic jidaigeki film "Sanjuro" (1962). He's also brilliant in "Rashomon" (1950) and everything else by Kurosawa. He made 16 films w/ him but they fell out while making "Red Beard" in 1965

unlabelledView post →Anyway, watched Rashomon, directed by Kurosawa. Had never seen the movie, though I read the Akutagawa story many years ago (must revisit his writing). Quite a meodramatic film. Lots of evil laughing. Reminded me of Beckett a bit for some reason.
unlabelledView post →Singer was influenced by some old classics. He described the film as Double Indemnity meets Rashomon. He compared the structure to Citizen Kane and said “You can get it a second time in a way you never could have the first time around." 24/38

unlabelledView post →To clarify what I’m talking about, very broadly for people who don’t know one or both media or how they relate Rashomon is an Akira Kurosawa movie. The Acolyte attempts to mirror its structure as a double homage to the OG Star Wars being allegedly a homage/ripoff of another Kurosawa film
