Mishima Yukio, sex and death, Schrader's perfect "man in the room"
Schrader's "Mishima Yukio Biography" is not a biographical film in the traditional sense, but a film about sexual consciousness.
Before watching the movie, I knew very little about Mishima. I only stayed at the level of works familiar to the public, and I didn't know anything about my personal life....

[Translation] Art Director Eiko Ishioka's self-report: About the movie "Mishima Yukio"
"I seem to be standing on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by a vortex of two emotions, horror and excitement. Paul, who knows that I am a movie layman, and who bet on me with risks, makes me very touched, and his courage has also moved me. I am addicted."
The art of this film has been worshipped...

I finally watched this legendary biographical film, and I was surprised that this film was produced jointly by top film artists. The effect of the film is far above rumors. Today, Mishima is between Don Quixote and the Japanese Wolf Warriors. Young people’s love for Mishima is probably out of confusion about beauty and death. However, in the end, Mishima's influence on me was limited to my hairstyle. I no longer think that Mishima is a first-class writer, because their soul must include love and patience, a kind of sincerity and courage to face reality. The soul of Mishima, of course, is obviously unique, morbid, and intense, but I can’t believe that with his intellect he will sincerely believe in Bushido, and it will eventually become a performance similar to contemporary art. The movie has not faithfully reproduced the ugliness of the real life. The disillusionment of beauty is more cruel than death. This may be the only shortcoming.

I was disappointed that Mishima-kun's incision was not actually shown at the end, and I waited for that scene with straight eyes. In contrast, I prefer "Worrying the Country".

Kashiwagi (segment "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion"): [stuttering] It was as s-small as this, but grew so big... it filled the world like... tremendous music. That's the p-p-power of beauty's eternity. It poisons us. It blocks out our lives.
Kashiwagi (segment "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion"): Please, enough of your pride! Beauty is like a rotten tooth. It rubs against your tongue, hurting, insisting on its importance. Finally you go to a dentist and have it pulled. Then you look at the small bloody tooth in your hand and say, "Is that all it was?" That's the way it is.
