Question:
From the two short stories of Ryuonsuke Akutagawa, Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon is loosely based. From the short story Rashomon, the film’s opening and ending scenes are based, but the main story of the film is based on “In the Grove”. Naturally there are always differences between the film and the stories, like other books or novels that became films. In the case of Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon, the film is an interpretation of an individual. To translate the story which prevents to the big screen, there are inheriting limitations.
Discussion :
Run down temple gate of Rashomon has been used in the film and, the background of the story consists of the heavy rains. The same settings from the short story Rashomon have been used, in the opening of the film. However, this is about, as the film moves forward with that story. At the front gate, a Buddhist priest and a woodcutter are sitting instead of a servant at the steps. The two of them sit there with the look of doubt. Some moments later, under the shelter of the ruined gate, out of rain, a man comes in and joins there. In the original story, this character of a man does not exist. To introduce the story “In a Grove”, this man has been used only as a tool.
