You have to create your own narrative. It's an interactive feature included in the director's cut.

haha, I kid. I can't remember.

Everyone posting here should tell a different story in a Rashomonian stylee.

So you missed the bit where it's revealed that the baby did it all, and hypnotised the others so they all remember different versions?

PROBABLY WILDLY INACCURATE SPOILERS DUH:

first the monk goes to take the kid and then the other dude is like hey gimme the kid and the monk is mistrustful but the other dude is all i have like 7 kids so i can take care of one more, then the monk is astonished and is all you are a good man!! so he was like i shouldn't have judged you before i heard the whole story, and then his faith is renewed in mankind also. \o/

but wait, where does the kid come from?!? we saw up to where the woodsman tells spins his yarn. then the dude who came in from the rain is all like, "sure, whatever" and the monk says something along the lines of "i don't want people to suck".

**DVD SKIPS. Can't see wtf happened.**

Dude who came in from the rain is physically fighting with the woodsman. Find out that woodsman took the dagger after all. Dude who came in from the rain leaves. Meanwhile the monk is holding a baby!?!

and what sleep says happens. How did the fight start? AND where'd the freaking baby come from?

Worst movie to have a DVD skip EVAR.

i know! i literally spent like 15-20 minutes trying to coax the thing into playing. it's only 2 1/2 minutes, but it's like the 2 1/2 minutes that ties up the entire movie! arrrghhh...

The baby is a Symbol, a Plot Device and a Deus ex Machina...or is he? The Good Bandit takes him home and brings him up in the ways of the Unfilmed Sequel.

Sirius Le Tho, the three hear a baby crying. The cynic steals the baby's kimono. Monk and woodsman are appalled. Philosophical disputations ensue, leading to a fight. You know the rest.

M.V., I thank you.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Friday, 12 August 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

Y'welcome.
