The document summarizes the film Rashomon and discusses two perspectives on truth - absolutism and relativism. It argues that Roger Ebert's relativist view, which is that truth is subjective based on individual perception, better fits the film than Errol Morris' absolutist view that there is one objective truth. The film shows four contradictory eyewitness accounts of a crime, demonstrating that each person perceives events differently based on their own perspective and biases. Therefore, according to Ebert's theory, all accounts could be true reflections of what each person perceived, even if they conflict with each other.
