    [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...

    To the so-called purely black humorous joke

    Mishima has a dramatic end to his life. and this film dramatically presents some of his works literally on stage along with his life story and what happens on his last day. you never know how much and how a writer's works reflects his mind. so it takes some guess and effort to correlate those. I...

    There is no answer...

    Story: A different biographical film, anti-traditional, records Mishima’s spiritual world through four chapters, and through artistic treatment, Mishima’s actions and writing are divided and mixed together again, reflecting a three-dimensional Mishima Yukio. This is not an objective biographical...

    The director has long known that Ogata Ken is not suitable to play Mishima, but the preferred actor withdrew due to pressure from the right wing in Japan, and the creator had no choice.

    I have seen many comments from the audience, especially the short comment that said that the image of Ken Ogata is not suitable for playing Mishima Yukio.

    In fact, director Paul Schrader knew this a long time ago. However, the filming of this film was opposed by the Japanese right (do not want...

    Last cut

    Released in 1985, directed by Schrader, starring Ogataken. "The Biography of Mishima Yukio".  After reading it, I thought that if the Americans interpreted him this way, Mishima-kun might be liked. However, given his demanding requirements for physical beauty, he may not be so satisfied with the...

    A tragedy of abnormal love for beauty

    The first time I saw Mishima was at the Sanfan International Film Festival. Director and writer Paul Schrader gave a lecture. He said that this film about Japanese national spirit is currently banned in Japan. I don’t know what the Japanese would think after watching this movie? Watching this movie...

    More than sincere, lack of aura

    Since high school, he has been a fan of Mishima, and he still has a say in this film. This film was shot by Lao Mei, although the actors are all Japanese. (Nonsense) There has never been much hope for the old Americans to shoot Orientals. First, there is a problem with attitude. Westerners are too...

    As a stage play

    I want to say that in terms of age, this movie is worth four stars. But in terms of plot, three and a half stars. It's not bad, but it's really not as good as the animations made by Japanese people. It may be difficult for foreigners to understand the loneliness and perversion of the Japanese, just...

    Classic attempt

Suddenly telling you that he decided not to be a writer and became a terrorist. His plan was to hijack Beijing—Wei=Su+=Commander, call on the army...

    Mishima Yukio: Four Acts in the World

    I really like the narrative structure of this film. The film starts from waking up at home in the early morning before Mishima commits suicide, and then it is divided into four parts in detail: 1. Beauty 2. Art 3. Action 4. Combination of brush and sword. 1-3 respectively present the stories in his...
