Peeping Death in Beauty and Violence

Video and Soundtrack

Rather than being a step-by-step film in the traditional sense, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is more of a visual experiment that makes extensive use of stagecraft, interior sets and installations, and light and shadow effects. Beyond the densely packed lines and monologues, the textuality of the film is expanded and extended into camera movement,...

The unity of pen and sword

The words are all fictitious.
In order to change the world, words must lie,
but the behavior will never lie

. The unity of pen and sword.
But how? ...

What is the Japanese spirit that Mishima pursues?
This is not something I can figure out at the moment,
but I know absolutely not some metaphysical mind stuff
pure air but breathe every minute of
every minute of every second you can feel the touch of skin on the warmth of the sun
and...

Two strategies for intensifying "life"

86/100, Mishima’s Caesarean suicide is an important case and event in the history of literature and even the history of human spirit. The unremitting desire for the supreme spiritual and physical unity full of strength and incomparably harmonious beauty is fully demonstrated by the film , I didn’t expect that some moments (the launch of the Shield Club "Spiritual Devotion to the Pure Army" and the final surreal subjective shots of flying a plane and the Self-Defense Force speech suicide)...

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, 1985

At first I paid attention to this film because of its peculiar and gorgeous standard collector's edition cover. At first glance, I didn't even know who Mishima was. After checking it, I found out that it was Mishima. Yukio Mishima is an unfamiliar writer to me. I haven't seen any of his works, haven't checked any of his life, and most importantly, what do you know about him? Under various considerations, I put this movie on the list of "want to watch" that I never wanted to watch. However, when...

This eldest brother wrote how much work he had to do for a long time and finally cut it and got caught by the wrong people. Actually, I don’t understand what this passerby thinks. Why did he cut it quickly when he lost World War II, or he couldn’t cut seventy years earlier? Japan itself in the 1990s was extremely similar, and there were a lot of similar things. To be precise, Japan was a very life-threatening...

The "biography" is a misnomer. In fact, the film only focuses on Yukio Mishima's spiritual world, political aspirations, and the last and most legendary part of his life. It's not a high-quality biopic, but the retelling of its masterpiece is quite unique and...

Interspersed with "Confessions of a Mask", "Golden Pavilion", "House of Mirrors", "Running Horse" and "Worrying about the Country", an autobiographical history strung together through the events of the suicide day. The line between which is Mishima and which is the character in the work becomes blurred, not to mention that the characters in the pen are the very complex and contradictory inner body of the...

For a legendary character like Mishima Yukio, the director chose to use the form of split act to perfect the character from the front (the day of suicide) and the side (Mishima's novel) as much as possible, which is understandable, but too much The smooth script and the stage-style scenes make it difficult to resonate emotionally, and it seems like a helpless move to choose Xu Xingquan to play. Of course, there is no problem with the...

I know the intention of inserting the work, but it is overwhelming. The part of Mishima is on the edge. Originally, the writer and his works are inseparable, so it is difficult to make biopics of the...
