THIS Buddhist Film Festival 2012 - The Outrage 善恶无赦... Rashomon 羅生門

though a bit tiring to follow the english sub-title after the morning trek... i enjoyed 'the outrage 善恶无赦  (U-Mong Pha Meung)' yesterday...

...seeing the monk frowning kind of made me frowned too...haha i forgotten the fact that the monk is seeking enlightenment one but not the awakened one, 'can will frown' just like anyone of us...


the outrage trailer...

from the youtube page of the trailer:

The new interpretation of the renown Rashomon 羅生門 by using ancient Lanna Region as the setting.

The Outrage tells a story of the crime mystery about a Warrior, a Bandit and the Lady- wife of the Warrior; told through the conversation between a young monk, a woodcutter and an undertaker. The audiences will be the one who will unveil the mystery and search for the unimaginable truth from the start until the finish.

The story is adapted from a play "Rashomon 羅生門" by M.R. Kukrit Pramoj which is an play based on an ancient tale from the Japanese poet, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. The renown movie "Rashomon 羅生門" by Akira Kurosawa is also based on the same tale.

A proud warrior travelling with his low born wife, were captured and abused at the hand of a bandit. When the bandit is taken to court on the charge of the warrior's murder, mysterious stories are unveiled. The bandit admits to his crime of murder, while the wife claims that she is the one who killed her husband. The governor has no choice but to hire the medium to speak on behalf of the dead warrior. The warrior claims that he commit suicide due to shame.

The eyewitnesses were called to testify. A young monk who is the last person to see the couple before the tragedy and the woodcutter who found the body.

Whose version of the events is true? Can any of them be trusted?
