Last weekend I wanted to see Rashomon a famous movie by the even more famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa and the actor legend Toshiro Mifune. Found it in youtube!

The movie is about one story told from 4 different points of view. The viewer is left to deduce which of the stories is true.  As life itself we may find many times contradictions between what some people claim and reality.

So what is real and what is fantasy and how people may twist reality to fit their own interests.

Here is the links
