Two Line Reviews - #94

Movie: Rashomon (Japanese,1950)

Claps:

• Such an ingenious screenplay in 1950 by Akira Kurosawa! No wonder it inspired Kamal Haasan to give us Virumaandi.
• The smart 4th narration that includes portions of the narrations of all the first three,meaning,everyone had partly said the truth.
• The climax that smartly ties the incident portrayed with the practical ways of the human race in general.
• Like in Shichinin no samurai,here too the background music is prominent & Toshirô Mifune excels.

Blips:

• All three versions of the story seem to have untied loose ends.

Overall Score: 9.7/10
