Rashomon was a 1942 American film directed by Sidney Lumet and adapted from Christie's novel of the same name. The film showed the investigation process of a murder case from multiple perspectives and multiple narrative clues, which had a profound impact on future generations. First of all, Rashomon had created a 'mystery film' model in the history of movies. In this movie, the audience is constantly guided to see the events from different perspectives, which makes the story more complicated and mysterious, increasing the audience's guessing and reasoning process. This style was widely used in later movies and became a classic model in the history of movies. Secondly, Rashomon made an important contribution to the success of the novel adaptation. The film made the plot of the novel more vivid and complicated through multiple perspectives and narrative clues, which provided great help for the adaptation of the film. Since then, many novels have been adapted into movies, many of which adopted the narrative techniques of Rashomon, such as Murder on the Oriental Express, Massacre on the Nile, etc. In the end, Rashomon had a profound impact on the development of film art. The film displayed the characteristics of multiple perspectives and multiple narrative clues, allowing the film director to express his thoughts and style more freely. Since then, many film directors began to try this new narrative technique and created many excellent works. For example, the French director, Cristoff Nolan, was an excellent director. He used a variety of narrative techniques to create excellent works such as The Dark Paladin and Inception.
