A phenomenon known as the Rashomon effect occurs when many people interpret or perceive the same event in different ways. This idea owe its name to the Akira Kurosawa-directed Japanese film "Rashomon" from 1950, where several people in the movie provide different and contradictory versions of the same crime that they witnessed.
In psychological, legal, and social contexts, this idea is frequently employed to characterise circumstances in which contradictory testimony or points of view are revealed regarding the same event. The Rashomon effect emphasises how the interpretation and recounting of an event may be influenced by the limitations of human memory, subjective perception, and individual biases.
