Director : Akira Kurosawa
Cast : Toshirô Mifune, Machiko Kyô, Masayuki Mori, Takashi Shimura

The movie which introduced Japanese cinema to the world. The movie which introduced Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune to the west - Rashomon. Based on ancient Japan where Samurai's dwelled and women had no rights, Rashomon is actually a series of flashbacks. The movie starts with a woodcutter, a priest and a commoner discussing about something unusual that happened in the court that day. The Woodcutter was summoned to the court as a witness to the dead body of a Samurai. As, the movie progresses, it is clear that an infamous bandit killed the Samurai because of the lust of his beautiful wife. This particular crime though is recalled from four different point's of view. The bandit, the Samurai's wife, the dead Samurai
himself (With the help of black magic, entering the body of another human) and the
woodcutter who was an eyewitness to the entire murder scene. All four of them present completely different perspectives of the same murder and it is left to the audience to decide whose version may be true. But this movie does not stop at being a murder and crime mystery. It also takes a closer look at the human psychology and behavior in different situations and conditions.

The plot itself is very unique and engaging . Kurosawa has made this already interesting plot into an exceptional movie with his accurate and detailed direction. The Cinematography is also of the highest order which enhances the feel of the movie. Special credit goes to all the actors who had to shoot the same scenario four times but with different mindsets, expressions and dialogues. Among the actors, a special mention should go to Toshiro Mifune (Kurosawa'a favorite actor) who ruled the screen with his animalistic rage and passion. A very enriching movie experience which left me wanting for more of the great director. In my all-time favorite movie's list straightaway .

Rating : 9/10

The first quentin tarantino movie.
An heist film without the heist!!!

The film has become a classic of independent film and a cult hit.[2] It was named "Greatest Independent Film of all Time" by Empire. Reservoir Dogs was generally well received and the cast was praised by many critics. Although it was never given much promotion upon release, the film was a modest success by grossing $2,832,029, which made its budget back. However, it did become a major hit in the United Kingdom; grossing nearly £6.5 million, and it achieved higher popularity after the success of Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. It is often criticized for its high degree of violence and profanity, and audience members reportedly walked out during the film's now notorious torture scene.

This is a topic created to give a tribute to arguably the gr8est film of all time.

Mr.White

Easily the best character of this film.
Larry Dimmick, AKA Mr. White was involved in a diamond heist with five other men. He was responsible for obtaining the diamonds in the back from the manager, along with Mr. Pink.

Not much is known about his history. He is good friends with Joe Cabot and his son Eddie. More of his back story was revealed in the special features of Reservoir Dogs.

After escaping the heist with Mr. Orange and Mr. Brown, he kills two police officers while wielding two 9mm pistols. He and Mr. Orange then go on to steal a car. This is where Mr. Orange is shot in the stomach. They return to the hideout where he talks to Mr. Pink about who may have set them up. He leaves with Pink and Eddie, then later returns to see Mr. Blonde shot and killed. He ends up in a confrontation between himself, Joe and Eddie Cabot. They argue over who may be responsible for the set up. Joe is convinced it was Mr. Orange. Mr. White kills Joe and may have killed Eddie as well. It is possible, however, that it was Mr. Pink who killed Eddie. After being shot by Eddie, he is told by Mr. Orange that he was in fact the rat, which leads Mr. White to kill Mr. Orange, only to be killed by the police who arrived shortly thereafter.

Mr PINK

Unarguably the best character of this film.
Mr. Pink was involved in a diamond heist with five other men. He was responsible for obtaining the diamonds in the back from the manager, along with Mr. White.

Not much is revealed in his back story. He is known for his strongly negative opinion of tipping waitresses. When given his name "Mr. Pink", he objects and requests to have his name changed to something less weak like "Mr. Purple", or to trade names with Mr. White.

After the heist is sabotaged, he is confident that there was a setup by the cops, although he does not know who tipped them off. He claims that he "blasted his way out of there", and that he escaped with, and stashed, the diamonds. He goes to the hideout after the heist where he and Mr. White talk about who set them up. He then leaves with Mr. White and Eddie Cabot, leaving Mr. Blonde alone with Mr. Orange and the cop taken hostage. Upon his return with Eddie and Mr. White, he sees that Mr. Blonde was shot and killed by Mr. Orange. He eventually avoids a possible confrontation by hiding under a ramp, then once everyone has been shot, he leaves. (It is possible that he took part in/was responsible for the murder of Eddie Cabot, as the order of gunshots in the final showdown does not make sense.) The fate of Mr. Pink is unknown. It is possible that he was caught by the police, or that he got away with the diamonds. The Reservoir Dogs videogame revealed his fate, but it is unknown whether or not this was the original intent of the writer.

Mr BLONDE

Considered by majority as the best character of this film which he sure is.
Victor Vega, AKA Mr. Blonde was involved in a diamond heist with five other men. He was responsible for crowd control, along with Mr. Blue.

His back story given in the film indicates that he was recently released from prison, and that his parole officer is very strict, requiring Vic to get a real job before moving on with his life. Vic is set up with work through his friends Joe and Eddie Cabot, who later go on to organize the diamond heist that he is involved in. No information is known about Vic until he apparently shot and killed several hostages mercilessly during the heist for activating the alarm.

He later meets up with Mr. Pink and Mr. White in the hideout with a police officer he took as a hostage. After questioning and beating the cop for some time, Vic is left alone with the cop. It is revealed that Vic carries a straight razor in his boot, which he uses to torture and deform the police officer. He then pours gasoline all over the cop, and attempts to burn him alive, all while dancing to "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealer's Wheel. Just as he is about to incinerate the cop, Mr. Orange shoots Vic twelve times, killing him and saving the cop's life.

Nice GUY EDDIE

The best character of this film Nice Guy Eddie is gangsta Joe Cabot's son. He's revealed to be good friends with Mr. Blonde (Vic Vega). He serves as Joe's eyes and ears throughout the diamond heist he helped plan. In a Sergio Leone-style standoff at the film's climax, he and Joe are both killed by Mr. White, who in turn kills Mr. Orange and is himself killed by the police after executing Mr. Orange.

Mr ORANGE

The best character of the movie has to be the rat MR orange played by tim roth , Mr. Orange is a peaceful sort who, when the movie gets underway, is screaming and bleeding in the back seat of Mr. White's car and is later on revealed to be the rat as he shoots Mr Blonde

Mr BLUE

Nothing much is known about Mr. Blue. He is a mystery. After being in the movie for about five minutes, he dies and barely says anything when he is alive.

Mr BROWN

The director of this movie choses to play the best character of this film Mr. Brown who has a small appearance. He is mainly known for his opinion on madonna`s song "like a virgin".

Joe

The toughest badass of the movie and therefore the best character of this film is Joe! who is the leader of the gang. He is the baap of all the other dogs(not literally) and nice guy eddie(literally).
