It was just a glimpse. First I saw her, then she was gone—I thought I had seen an angel. And right then I decided I would take her, that I’d have her even if I had to kill the man...

Rashomon (1950)

My rating: 6/10

I think this is yet another one of those seminal works that, because they were so seminal, have lost a lot of their punch - there have been so many references, homages and straight up rip-offs in the intervening 70-odd years, the original just ends up feeling kind of unremarkable.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

FIRST ROUND: 58th Tilt

Tom Builder, The Pillars of the Earth (2010) VS. Tajômaru, Rashomon (1950)

Propaganda

Tom Builder, The Pillars of the Earth (2010) Portrayed by: Rufus Sewell Defeated Opponents: - Thomas Cromwell [Mark Rylance], Wolf Hall (2015-2024)

“The man is beautiful, he is a visionary and an artist, and he is also a kind and loving husband and father. (Which is not my usual taste, so please vote for him to encourage my better, more emotionally healthy side.)”

Tajômaru, Rashomon (1950) Portrayed by: Mifune Toshiro Defeated Opponents: - Niankoro [Issiaka Kane], Yeelen (1987)

“like yes, the character is a scoundrel, but it takes a lot to make The Sexiest Man Who Has Ever Lived not be sexy, and taking his shirt off certainly isn’t going to do it”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Tom Builder:

For Tajômaru:

“this one is for the girlies who are willing to ignore the fact that a man is UNHINGED and a menace because he’s just so pretty!!”

“he's extra-hot in this movie (as in: he doesn't wear clothes much and has kinda long hair)”
