内容提要:日本著名作家芥川龙之介的小说《罗生门》和《竹林中》由日本著名导演黑泽明改编拍摄为电影《罗生门》,无论是小说《竹林中》还是电影《罗生门》,都由于事件的真相难以准确地认定,而被人们视为“各说各话的难解之谜”。本文认为,芥川龙之介由于深受佛教禅宗思想的影响,在作品中表达了这样的哲学理念:任何真理都是相对的,只是有限范围内的真理,这又与后现代哲学不谋而合;正因此,小说以及电影都没有对事件和人物表现出情感方面的倾向性,也没有做出道德上的结论;芥川龙之介和黑泽明通过自己的作品,共同制造了关于人性的一个永远无解的悬念。

The film Rassyomon and the storyIn the Bamboo Forest are regarded as unfathomable enigma because the whole truth hasn’t come out even at the end of them. The author of this essay holds that Ryonosuke Akutagawa,influenced by Zenism, expressessuchphilosophy of postmodernism: any truth is relative and takes effect in limited area. Therefore, there isn’t any feeling tendentiousness and moral conclusion in the film Rassyomon and the story In the Bamboo Forest. Ryonosuke Akutagawa and Kurosawa Akiro have made the insoluble mystery about humanity through their arts.
