Kurosawa

So, I finally saw Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon. It's the first of the "multiple points of view" movies, filmed way back in 1950. I was a little disappointed if just from my expectations. I thought the points of view would be complimentary and add up to the final truth of the situation, where it was actually all conflicting views and you have to sort out for yourself who's telling the truth. Still quite good, I'd have to watch it again but I might prefer it to The Seven Samurai. Anyways, watching the Medium scene I had a feeling I'd seen it before then remembered seeing it on Neil Gaiman's blog in a far more creepy form


seriously, you shouldn't watch this before trying to go to sleep
