Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

30. Rashomon (1950)
We all want to forget something, so we tell stories. It's easier that way.
I will be the first to admit that I am way behind when it comes to the works of Akira Kurosawa. I have seen his two most famous films and they are both on this list. This is the first and, from what I have read, his most accessible. This is the simple story of a murder told from several different viewpoints. Telling the story this way, Kurosawa unravels the fact that the story is most definitely not simple and reveals quite a bit about how the human mind works.
