I may be questioning my reality after this

I have three DVD movies from Netflix:

Inception
The Adjustment Bureau
Rashomon

The first two I added to the queue at the same time, but the third is just the next 4-star movie on the list. (I stopped posting about it, but I'm still watching them.)

Rashomon! Love that movie so much! Every second of that film is a jewel! It's so good it makes me incoherent!

I'm familiar with the basic concept, but I've never actually seen Rashomon. Which is the basic concept behind my 4-star movie project, so I am not ashamed.

I'm looking forward to it.

I can't promise you you'll love it, but I certainly look forward to knowing what you thought of it.

I've now seen Rashomon. It was interesting, and not what I expected. I'd been thinking (from what I'd heard about it) that it was going to be the same events seen by different people, with different interpretations of those events. Instead, it was different versions of what actually happened. So instead of being about the interpretation of events, it's about the lies people tell themselves (and then come to believe) in order to make the happenings palatable to themselves. Or at least that's how I saw it.

I think you got it!
