What is a definition for the Rashomon effect?

Answer 1

Rashōmon, is a 1950 Japanese motion picture directed by Akira Kurosawa (in collaboration with Kazuo Miyagawa) and starring Toshiro Mifune.

The movie's theme is the difficulty, or rather the impossibility, of obtaining the truth about an event from conflicting witness accounts. Rashōmon can be said to have introduced Kurosawa and Japanese cinema to Western audiences, and is considered one of his masterpieces.

In English and other languages, "Rashomon" has become a by-word for any situation wherein the truth of an event becomes difficult to verify due to the conflicting accounts of different witnesses. In psychology, the film has lent its name to the Rashomon effect.

Answer 3

Magick has been and is being continuously proven by science. When people on here scoff at the idea of magick, I usually laugh because at one time magnets were considered magick, before science came along and called it something else, and that is just one of many examples. Magick is using and manipulating different forms of energy, and we do not yet know just what these energies are or how they work. When science gives them a name and defines them for us, suddenly most will accept it, even though it's the same old thing people have been doing for centuries. So for me magick has no definition, and it never will, really. That just takes all the fun out of it, like with the magnets lol.
