The film titled Rashomon is shown in a communications class because it was based on a series of events told by four different individuals who all had quite diverse views of what had actually taken place in the forest. Everyone chose to tell their side of the story based on the image they wanted to portray of themselves. The audience is then given a chance to interpret the chain of events and decide which character’s story was more believable and why. The film shows that people of all cultures purposely lie and alter the truth to prevent themselves from being negatively labeled.
