Rashamon is a story that demonstrates that no point of views are ever alike. In the story, the killer, the witnesses and the dead himself all testify to
what 'really' happened. Of course, in such an incident, no one has any story that seems equal to anothers. Reality, as demonstrated, is subjective due by
the fact that no one has an all-seeing point of view. I believe Kurosawa did a film version of it at some point.
