Day 9 (06/10/07): Rashomon (1950)

History
This is a Japanese movie directed by Akira Kurosawa. I saw this third year, and re-watched it because it's awesome. Basically:

Akira Kurosawa + Toshiro Mifune = Success

What's it about?
A bandit encounters a husband and a wife in the woods. The bandit (Toshiro Mifune) sets his eyes on the wife and rapes her. What happens next is told through each of their perspectives, all of which conflict with one another.

Thoughts
Celeste sure as hell didn't want to see this, but after watching for a while she was like "Oh hell yeah!" That's an example of this movie's awesomeness. Toshiro Mifune is great as the bandit.

Rating
AWW Hell Yeah!
