Such starkly differing interpretations of the same event aren’t all that unusual. There’s even a term for the phenomenon: the “Rashomon effect,” in reference to an Akira Kurosawa film in which witnesses give contrasting accounts of a murder.

The Apple TV+ comedy series takes place at a high school reunion — you guessed it — afterparty, with every episode being narrated from a different character's point of view, as to what exactly happened at night. Given that the central premise is a murder mystery (bí mật/huyền bí), a whodunnit (phim trinh thám), if you will, it is interesting for the show to incorporate a route that mimics (giả, bắt chước) the Rashomon effect. Throughout the course of the show, the characters are provided chances to start over and turn a new leaf, or simply look for an escape from their monotonous (đơn điệu, buồn tẻ) everyday existence.

Akira Kuwosawa is rightly considered one of Japan’s greatest filmmakers and Rashomon is his best known film in the United States. When it premiered in 1950, its unique storytelling device in which the same events are told from the perspective of four different witnesses (one of whom is actually dead) was such a revelation in filmic structure that the movie became eponymous (người được lấy tên đặt cho nơi khác) with the concept — hence, the Rashomon Effect. Through this effect, the relatively simple tale of a priest, a bandit, a samurai, a woodcutter, and a woman becomes a complex analysis of truth and perspective that earns its place as a keystone of 20th century filmmaking.
