“I Think We Solved It” ITF Read & Watch: Rashomon (1922 short story & 1950 film)

Akira Kurosawa was a legendary director of adaptations, with one
of his most famous coming from author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s short
story “In a Grove.” In episode 259, Luke & James get a
history lesson in Japanese short fiction, try to untangle a web
of lies and exaggerations, examine a World War II metaphor,
debate which character is the actual worst, trust the words of a
medium, and consider the legacy of one of the greatest films of
all time. They finish by voting which was better: the short story
or the movie!
