| "human beings are unable to be honest with themselves. they cannot talk about themselves without embellishing. this script portrays such human beings-the kind who cannot survive without lies to make them feel they are better than they really are. it even shows this sinful flattering falsehood going beyond the grave-even the character who dies cannot give up his lies when he speaks to the living through a medium. egoism is a sin the human being carries with him from birth; it is the most difficult to redeem. this film is like a strange picture scroll that is unscrolled and displayed by the ego." -kurosawa on "rashomon" | biography filmography recommendations . |
