A worthy interpretation – Rashomon once again comes to life
End notes contains spoilers (nothing from the actual plot but regarding how the movie is built).

Pretext: If you are a fan of crime/thriller this is highly recommended. This is an interpretation of Rashomon of Akira Kurosawa (which is the person that Sergio Leone and a few other productions of Westerns and a lot of other movies have copied since) and his movie Rashomon.

In short: Brings back Rashomon with strength, there have been tries earlier and with a lot larger budgets (one example being Vantage Point 2008), this is simply better. 3 perspectives on a crime and on cause and events, three stories unfold and in the end – what is there? Realistic, with one comedic element breaking up the slow paced movie with dead on accuracy.

In longer: Cinematography is average, what shines here is the editing – which is above average but not perfect (one example being a cut mid-scene early on during a chase). However it is suitable to the storyline depicted – as different environments are shown so does partially the type of shots (actively adapting the cinematography without overdoing it). The simplicity in act changes stands out (keeping effects simple when that is in line with the story), if something flashy had been used it would have killed the impression of the subtle evolution of the plot line. The acting is good (with less than a handful of weaker points), in the start there are a few moments of overacting but as the movie moves on the acting is pretty much solid throughout. And finally the characters are also given time to grow (as they should when the movie circles around perception of cause and events) which with solid actors really brings it up a notch. Because of the song and showing outtakes during the credits i almost rated this one star lower. It definitively weakend my impression of the movie.

Pro’s • Editing • Character development • Acting • Cinematography • A worthy interpretation.

Con’s • A few momentary mistakes • Song’s son; Tao’s (Wang Yunhui) crying near the end should have been skipped (edited out) • Ending song (way too upbeat) & outtakes during credits – spoiled the impression quite a bit (a really bad call in my book)

End notes: Although it carries another message and doesn’t have an open ending it gives you a sentiment not often seen in movies in these days of widespread fascism.

For those who wanted to see Rashomon end differently i strongly recommend watching this movie.
