The document discusses the film Rashomon and two interpretations of truth - absolutism and relativism. It analyzes how Errol Morris believes there is one absolute truth, while Roger Ebert believes truth is subjective and differs for each person. The document argues that Ebert's view of subjective truth is better supported by the contradictory confessions of characters in Rashomon about a murder. Selectivity of perception and preexisting biases also influence how people perceive reality differently based on their experiences. The conclusion is that by not revealing the true incident, the film suggests there is no absolute truth, as reality is always viewed subjectively according to individual perspectives.
