The document discusses the debate between film critic Roger Ebert and director Errol Morris about whether there is an absolute or relative truth presented in the film Rashomon. Rashomon explores the concepts of truth and reality by showing four contradictory accounts of a murder. Ebert believes in a relativist view that there is no single truth, while Morris argues for an absolutist view, believing that there is one objective truth. Morris disagrees with the idea that truth is subjective and believes truth exists independently of people's perspectives. Overall the document analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of both positions but concludes that Morris's absolutist view is stronger and more persuasive.
