He was hard to understand, but not a boring person at all.

One of the world's all time best novelists. It's a shame his life came to end so quickly.

Only way to know yourself completely is to live as if you are dead. If you hold onto anything else you are lieing. Mishima faced the only thing that we truly cant know which is death. Can someone be such a person to such a level where the only question left is, "what is the truth of death"? You can only own your life completely when you choose when it ends and not leave it to nature or man. He made a poem of his life and ended the poem himself and owned it in the end.

Realy very good staf! Thanks.

love it!

Incredible

please one day upload all of this i must see it

The best.

I always kind of wondered about his war years. I heard that the highschools gave their students military training, which I barely heard about Mishima, though I read that he did a two week service before being called up for his physical. When it came to his joining the fight he probably wouldn't have seen action considering how late in the war it was, it might have ended before he deployed.

@lyonlamb It's included on the 2nd DVD of the Criterion Collection 'Mishima, A Life in Four Chapters'

at 3:38-39 the narrator forgot the attempted Mongol Invasion

why did he fake his illness?

@plus18ification I agree with you. I only read his book "Confessions of a mask" but man he spellbound me aswell :) What is it you think is unhealthy with it?

@plus18ification Maybe you are right. But doesn't he tells the truth about life in his books?
