    Watched the film last night for the first time. I've been a fan of Yukio Mishima's writing for several years, and at some point, I admired his defiance of the status quo and considered him an icon. As I grew older and learned more about politics and history I understood that, although fascinating, his ideals were outdated, dangerous, and came mostly from a place of hatred and even probably mental health issues. The movie is great and Mishima's portrayal by Schrader is far more subtle than what this trailer suggests. The narrator's glorification of Mishima in the trailer seems today quite silly and more like what Mishima would like to hear about himself from the grave than what he actually was: a gifted writer and acute observer of the society of his time, but also an anachronistic narcissist that threw his life away for an unaccomplishable ideal. No matter if you see him in a positive or negative light, he was a fascinating character nonetheless.

      What a despicable interpretation of a truly great man. You have to rationalize his decisions by calling them "dangerous" and "hateful", because you, a humiliated, nihilistic morsel of matter cannot possibly fathom living life with even a modicum of the intensity that he did. The fruit of the modern world: an atrophied spirit and apathy for life, forced to reduce and quantify every grand expression through the lens of "sociology" and "psychology". It says everything about YOU that the most you got out of him was some punk icon or some such thing. Pu$$y. You would've been one of the onlookers. At least he did something.

    Yes, he was a great writer. He was also an actor and director. Kind of a renaisance man. But his politics was in the classic tradtion of gay male hypermasculine Fascists. The Nazis had a lot of those in theire early days. But is a foolish thing to be, because the Fascist movements they help spawn will always turn on them in their quest for greater and greater purification, if they gain power.
    apan had seen their Fascist ideology resulting in them being burned to the ground. They didan amzingly good job of rebuilding it and recreating it as a Democracy. Some of them did, but most of them did not want to go back to the mistakes of their past. And Mishima's vision of returning to the age of samurai was recognized by most Japanese as impossible. His final act, commiting hari kiri in 1970, was already as anacronistic as if a European knight tried to go to war in a suit of armer.
    It is clear from his writing that he was not only gay, but had fanstasies of extreme sado-masochism. His writings describe beutiful acts of ritual violence. It seems clear to me that this, as much as his politics, was what motivated him to perform his final act of grusome ritual suicide.
    Be that as it may, he was a great artist and a fascinating man. The movie was very good, and the score was, of course, very good too.

      I think Mishima was quite pretentious himself, so the tone is adequate. I don't say that as a Mishima hater. I like his writing, but the flamboyance was part of his persona. One thing that does strike me uncomfortable though is the glorification of Mishima's persona by the narrator of this trailer I believe the picture itself is much more subtle and portrays a conflicted man, not a man who was right.

      But after the post ww2 his idealism has changed and he became more of a liberal centrist than anything else.
      Including that he assumed after his coming out, that the old him is death (his imperialism period)
      But even though being gay he was fascinated over man’s who are extremely masculine, but he rejected the feminism aspect of it, so if he was alive he would probably be against the LGBTQ community like we see nowadays.
