In the link provided, Ivana Redwine gives a review of Rashomon, another film by Akira Kurosawa. In this film, authorities attempt to discover the truth about a recent murder. However, all three witnesses (including the murdered Samurai) all tell different stories about what happened, each trying to make themselves look better. Redwine says that to her the story is "about how differently people perceive the same external event." Akira tells a tale about human nature and their problems. The first scene shows Rashomon (a gate in Kyoto) destroyed with debris and dead men everywhere. It is Akira's metaphor for the story as a whole. Of course the story doesn't only deal with the fall backs of humans but ends in an inspiring fashion. Rashomon has been claimed to be the one of the best Japanese films of all time and is widely known and popular.
