Kurosawa’s Film Rashomon.

The assignment is to take the materials given and to make a strong argument. (Thesis) I am never great choosing or writing one myself. By all means writer, I am in your hands, I have faith in you to choose a strong thesis and backup the evidence with the materials I gave you. I will upload the sources needed for this paper. Please contact me any time when needed.

My professor is highly stubborn and picky.

What he likes:

Explanation on themes, symbols, elements, characters (example: costumes, body language, status in society etc..),

Breakdowns of scenes

Description of Edits used through out the film, (why did Kurosawa choose this kind of edit? Etc..)

Background, Time period, settings

Significance behind title of Film (if there is)

Explanation of gender roles (definitely in this film)

Compare & Contrast scenes and interpretations of the authors listed below.

How does the year the film was created connect with the film?

Any that is applicable above to this paper, please use.

Also, thank you for writing my paper. This assignment is the only obstacle from my prospective study abroad trip to Japan this summer. Thanks for helping me achieve my dream! ( ^-^)/~~~
