Technology: Second Look

The film tells the story of a samurai's death, then retells it in a contradictory way, and then retells it in two more ways (all contradictory)

"A few moments ago, I wrote that the servant was 'waiting for the rain to pass,' but in fact the man wasn't really waiting; he'd been dismissed several days ago by his master and had nowhere to go. So, rather than writing that the servant was 'waiting for the rain to pass,' it would have been better to write: 'a servant crouched beneath Rashōmon gate, homeless and lost."

"The noble Brutus/Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:/If it were so, it was a grievous fault,/And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it./Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--/For Brutus is an honourable man;/So, are they all, all honourable men--/Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral./He was my friend, faithful and just to me:/But Brutus says he was ambitious;/And Brutus is an honourable man./ He hath brought many captives home to Rome/Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:/Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?/When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:/Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:/Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;/And Brutus is an honourable man."
