This is pretty much how I pictured Mizoguchi, but for some reason I pictured Kashiwagi as being less attractive than this. But I guess it makes sense that he'd be somewhat attractive, since he was kind of a "ladies' man" in the book lol. Shouldn't his head be shaved though? He was a monk, wasn't he?
I think it’s that the golden pavilion is eternal beauty rather than love. Beauty is obviously what his thing is (like every Mishima book) and what helped him accept his complex relationship w it his whole life is the fact that it fades away- so then having to deal with beauty that’s eternal. The only way he can cope is by destroying it
@@tristecherie7464 I haven't... but I believe that watching this movie was good enough to understand Mishima's point on beauty and love (and sex) They are all combined in a mind that cannot get one or the other.
@cheeseandonions9558 i think its a fantastic movie and a great introduction/overview to 'Mishima', but it is not enough on its own. Honestly, I don't even think his literature is enough to understand him. It's only when considering biographical accounts of the man and his large body of essays that you start to get an idea of where he was coming from, and even then much remains a mystery.
@@tristecherie7464The ephemeral nature of beauty is definetly a big theme in Mishima i agree. There is a totalitarian idealism and iconoclasm in his attitude towards beauty though, based on a sort of greco-roman, proto-fascist aesthetic which is quite unique and not typically japanese. Beauty is the dialectical opposite of ugliness. One exists to magnify the other. Without beauty there is no ugly, and vice versa. In this sense beauty is oppressive, and can only be overcome by an ascent to it or the destruction of it. Mishima toys with both of these themes throughout his work, and they are in a sense synonmyous, since an ascent to beauty forshadows its ultimate decay. The golden pavillion is so eternally and transcendentally beautiful that it cannot be achieved nor sustained by any mortal. No man can live in the shadow of such a thing without total subservience to it or rebellion against it.
I only ever watched this once and mostly because of the soundtrack and it seemed kind of poorly put togeter, but now thinking back on it and watching this again I understand more of what the movie was trying to accomplish and how well it actually did it. Glass always owns.
Missing the section where he tries to touch the young girl's breast and The Golden Pavilion interrupts- the best scene of the chapter! Why bother posting this if you're going to cut out the whole reason for it to even exist?
Mishima thought that he pointed out something profound. That women like men with a disability (of any kind) because then they can show how caring they can be. Like a girl playing with a toy. But is it still true?
No, I think you misunderstood. From what we can see within the novel, although Mizoguchi was sure of his philosophy that the women loved him purely because of his deformity, however, in a sentence uttered by one of his former girlfriends it is revealed that this is not strictly true and that there is a beauty within him that he is not even aware of himself and therefore his philosophy isn't exactly correct.
to be fair- he made this before he repeated himself in other things. He had done a similar things in Koyaanisqaatsi, but that's all. and very few had seen it. But I suspect you prefer marvel scores or mothersbaugh. Not repititive at all, right? At least this is beautiful no matter how many times he interpolates it.
I am very glad to see that, despite the best efforts of a few Japanese, there are many Japanese fans of this beautiful film.
わーこれ見たーい！ダイジェスト版だけでも惹きつけられる。石岡さんの美術が素晴らしい。舞台のようにシンプルだけど様式美に溢れてる。音楽もあっている。出演者も豪華だし日本で見られないなんてもったいない。
"Only knowledge can turn life's unbearableness into a weapon."
"Beauty is now my enemy." there is something about this line which gives me goosebumps.
This is the most thrilling and compelling of the excerpts from Mishima's books.

I never imagined kashiwagi like this. Mizoguchi too. Anyway a great book.

「人生のやりきれなさを反対に武器にできる」…という事の意味がよく分かりません。
つまり美や虫歯という観念や存在は主観的なもので、認識の仕方で可変的な解釈ができる。
つまりどんな人生でも解釈の仕方でどうにでもなるという考え方が強み（武器）になるという
事でよろしいでしょうか？皆様のお考えをお聞かせください。
The music gives me strong Vivaldi vibes.

I could listen to this till the end of time and still find the beauty in it. But each to their own.
