The Rashomon effect is the effect of the subjectivity of perception on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it.
It is named for Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon, in which a crime witnessed by four individuals is described in four mutually contradictory ways.
***from wikipedia
The facts of the crime were the same but the "truth" concerning the criminal act were different. One fact....4 truths.
I was first introduced to the movie while in college. It is a good movie and recommended if interested in relativism.
Peace
