Rashomon

I had to watch this and write an essay on it for my Japan in Anthropology class. It was also pretty enjoyable. It's about 4 different accounts of the same event. Psychologists came up with the Rashomon effect which is this: "the effect of the subjectivity of perception on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it." (via Wikipedia).

Grade: B-
