Last time, we talked about “2 Tsundere Childhood Friend Explains! The Secrets of Akira Kurosawa’s Masterpiece ‘Rashomon’”.
This time, it’s “3 Tsundere Childhood Friend AI Explains ‘Rashomon’s’ 5 Lessons”.
Ah, you… geez, you leave me no choice…
Well, since it’s a good opportunity, I’ll explain the themes of ‘Rashomon’ as lessons modern people should learn, in a way that’s a bit easier to understand!
You better be grateful!
1. The Relativity of Truth
Theme:
Hey, did you know?
Even the same event can be told completely differently depending on the person, right?
In ‘Rashomon’, each character gives a different testimony.
It depicts that “truth” is not just one thing.
Example:
For instance, look at the news on TV or social media.
The content can be completely different depending on the media reporting the event.
One media outlet might say, “This politician did something bad!” while another might say, “No, it’s a misunderstanding!”
So, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions based on one piece of information; you need to look at things from various angles!
2. Self-Justification and Ego
Theme:
You know, the characters try to justify what they did.
That means they’re making up stories that suit them!
Example:
For example, when working on a group project, if someone makes a mistake, they might say, “Well, it couldn’t be helped,” or “It was because there wasn’t enough support.”
Such self-justification can ruin teamwork!
So, it’s important to acknowledge your own mistakes!
3. The Dilemma of Ethics and Survival
Theme:
In ‘Rashomon’, there are situations where you have to choose between what’s ethical and what’s necessary for survival.
Some people make choices that go against ethics to survive.
Example:
For instance, when someone is out of work, they might lie about their qualifications to apply for a job.
Some might say it’s an unavoidable choice for survival, but it’s something you should ponder ethically.
4. The Complexity of Human Nature
Theme:
The characters’ inner thoughts are very complex.
Their actions and words come from various internal conflicts.
Example:
For example, if a friend at school suddenly becomes cold after a fight, it might be because they’re dealing with problems at home.
You shouldn’t judge based on appearances alone!
5. Moral Relativism
Theme:
Morals and ethics differ depending on a person’s situation and culture.
In ‘Rashomon’, each character acts based on their own values.
Example:
For instance, when doing business overseas, in some countries, it’s normal to give gifts, but in others, it might be seen as a bribe!
Different cultures have different ideas of what’s right.
So, do you understand a bit now?
Honestly, if I don’t explain things in such detail, you never seem to get it!
