Aesthetically unloving but interesting movie to analyze. This film almost uses Honda (my interpretation, the director may not have this awareness) to tell Mishima, but it presents a Honda who has transformed from a voyeur to a performer. Three-line four-part series, my favorite is the novel line deduced by the bizarre stage. Because the tone of the film is quite political, "galloping horse" has become the last scene that sets the stage for the climax,...

8/10. Biography style of extreme beauty: black stage background + group closed rooms + exterior synthetic materials + passers-by rotating walking. A brothel with props and no wall view. Sweaty carcass beauty. Sha Tian Yishi's shrine gathering. It ends with a rewind incision orgasm. Strange transition: from the black and white gym to the pink lamp bathhouse. Burn the Kinkakuji Temple & cut open the canvas to assassinate & rose torture & worry about the country's martyrdom. Although the collage...

Mishima's obscure homosexual tendencies in his youth submitted too little, which is undoubtedly one of the roots of his life tragedy. The split narrative mode, the expressionist setting, the interspersion of reality and the virtual, and the Ogata boxing that is completely contrary to Mishima himself in appearance and temperament, but bursts out with amazing effects. Everything is just like the writer’s life, gorgeous and...

It can be seen that Schrader tried his best to put a lot of things in, but the final effect was strange. There are many restrictions on the actors and the works they can choose to make this film, so there may be reasons for this. But if Mishima's story is used to express the theme of "suicide life", there is still a difference. Although the art direction and the scene are beautiful, and Glass's music is brainwashed enough, there is always a feeling of overwhelming. Need to revisit...

Absolutely outstanding! Those friends who say that the music does not match Mishima at all, please note: This is an American movie. Those who scold the director for misreading Mishima, please note: This is an American movie. Cross-border understanding---- The West vs. East - Film vs. Literature - has done it all here! Paul Schrader said this is his favorite movie. The only dissatisfaction is probably that the protagonist's temperament is not right, but The superb stage art completely won back...

Mishima Yukio’s life is a fierce philosophy and performance art. The film starts from personal experience and works, and the interpretation is basically in place. It shows the complete character and heart in 2 hours, but Yukio Mishima is in the three views. In the process of formation, the influence of traditional Japanese philosophy cannot be ignored, but the film does not mention...

Just complain: the three islands all live on the first floor, not the second floor. Fortunately, if you are familiar with Mishima's works and life, you can know that there is no sentence in it that has no special meaning. There is no nonsense. The rest is that this film is very faithful to the biography of Mishima written by Henry Scott Stokes (this book has a Chinese version, but the name is...

I even admitted that after watching for two hours, I actually wanted to see the scene where Morita couldn’t make a mistake at the end... but I didn’t even see the...

Extensive use of stage art and contemporary art rehearsal to show the relationship between a writer and his work, agrees with this direction. The absurdity in form has its inherent meaning. Towards perfection + love and art + consistent words and deeds = self-destruction, can this equation explain Yukio Mishima? It seems not enough. What is more interesting is why his purity finally fell on top of...

The film consists of three parts and four chapters. Three parts: 1. Mishima's autobiography (past, black and white), 2. Mishima's last day (now), 3. Scenes in Mishima's works (fiction, stage). Four chapters: 1, beauty, 2, art, 3, action, 4, the unity of sword and pen. Such a complicated structure roughly outlines Mishima's life. Judging from the comical performance of "The Last Day", the film basically negates Mishima's caesarean...
