Pourin...Thanks for the link to the Rashomon movie!<br /><br />Pouring rain splashing off the dilapidated wreckage of a once-majestic and still striking Japanese city gate sets a gloomy tone. The camera moves from roof to base, to that classic long shot featured on the DVD cover of blasted timbers jutting out chaotically, remnants of a fierce battle, no doubt. Two forlorn men, one dressed in laborer's attire, the other in a priestly robe, sit in numbed confusion as a stranger bounds through the mud, entering the frame from just in front of the lens and joining his new companions to wait out the storm. Drawn in by their puzzled expressions, he chides them for their heavy emotions when he learns they are overwhelmed by the circumstances surrounding just one man's death. Clearly this has been a time of devastation and misery that they've been fortunate enough to survive, for now at least. Impatient with their ponderous musings, the stranger takes it upon himself to tear a few loose boards off the wall in order to start a fire. But one of the men, a woodcutter, chooses to relate his account, hoping that perhaps the fresh but cynical perspective of this outsider might help him make sense of what he's just heard.<br /><br />More by David Blakeslee <br />http://criterionreflections.blogspot.jp/2009/11/rashomon-1950-138.html<br />.Gabi Grevehttp://criterionreflections.blogspot.jp/2009/11/rashomon-1950-138.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9404072.post-71031986071693769902012-12-25T13:29:12.207-08:002012-12-25T13:29:12.207-08:00Dear Gabi:

It merely flows from a ghostly world to another, and its suggestive power mainly relies on the reader's understanding/appreciation of the invisible, unarticulated world indicated in L1 (this "shift" is weak)<br /><br />I wonder if the following revision might work better:<br /><br />"Rashomon Gate" <br />on my attic wall <br />shifting shadows<br /><br />Chen-ou<br /><br />(notes:<br /><br />1 The poster can be accessed at http://goo.gl/MCPTO <br /><br />2 L2 works effectively as a pivot, bridging the two worlds)<br /><br />Chen-ou Liu, 劉鎮歐https://www.blogger.com/profile/06235248170011255532noreply@blogger.com
