Why must they ALL look like this? They look malnourished for one, they think wearing big glasses that went out of fashion in the 70s with hairstyles that were popular with pedophiles in the 80s, and some gay accessories to go with it somehow makes them look hip. Worst part is, they’re like 23 but look older.

I like him because everything about the guy is interesting. How can you not want to read the work of someone who has a biography titled "Mishima, Aesthetic Terrorist" written by the same guy who wrote a book on the history is Seppuku?

As he died he came. If only we could all be so purposeful to make that kind of luck for ourselves.

The biopic by Paul Schrader was actually written by Schrader's sister-in-law and then he just wrote a new script with what he wanted the actors to be saying for the subtitles that doesn't actually follow their speech. I translated the actual Japanese & have put the results on Soulseek under my current username "Rrobynne Mk. II" for anyone interested, I think her version of the film is superior, more emotionally rich, less dumbed-down

> not reading Mishima in Japanese or at least translated Chinese, so you miss all the Classical Chinese phrasing and idioms
> reading Mishima in English so instead of the cold rhythmic on'yomi cadence of the patrician sino-japanese words he loves to use, you read the feminine english that just goes on and on and have to use latinate words to approximate the classical high minded feel of the proper sino-japanese reading, but that loses the percussive, masculine, hardness of the on'yomi kanji that is at once brutal and highminded
> not to mention losing the visual weight of the kanji itself that connects itself across a dimension lost in all other written languages to the entire canon of oriental civilization

he only wrote a partially biographical story about a repressed homosexual man living in japan.
he ONLY wrote a book talking about how sweaty, bulging biceps are the pinnacle of beauty.
he ONLY went to gay bars and he ONLY was obsessed with having a toned body and wearing tight leather.

You know, Mishima has a pretty huge following despite being a Japanese guy writing about Japanese traditions. This is because all fascist troons are one and the same, repressed faggots who got their dicks up after seeing his oily muscled body on the cover of the penguin edition of Storms and Steel or whatever his edgy autobiography is called.
>>

>>
>>25153002
Interesting. I don't see you on there, do you have a torrent instead?

I recall not liking the biopic, perhaps because I already knew a lot about Mishima and had high expectations. It also felt like the movie didn't accurately portray The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (I suppose that is difficult due to the separation between the internal and external world), and unfortunately I had not read any of the other works depicted in the film.

do you think Mishima launched the coup because he genuinely believed that he and 4 others armed with only swords could convince the Japanese military to overthrow the government or do you think that he used the coup as the stage for his suicide, his final artistic piece embodying all of his views, ideas and work into one last action

thats not what i am getting at, but the utter refusal to continue engaging with mishima for being a fascist is so clearly anti-intellectual. they do the inverse where a persons opinion is automatically placed higher in the hierarchy of values if they are gay or queer. it would be like refusing to ever engage with heidegger because he was a nazi. im a social democrat myself, even, so i am no fan of nazis at all.

>Forbidden Colors (禁色, Kinjiki) is a 1951 novel by Japanese writer Yukio Mishima,[1] translated into English in 1968. A sequel titled Higyō (秘楽; "Secret Pleasure") was published in 1953. The name kinjiki is a euphemism for same-sex love. The kanji 禁 means "forbidden", and 色 in this case means "erotic love", although it can also mean "color". The word kinjiki also means colors that were forbidden to be worn by people of various ranks in the Japanese court. It describes the marriage of a gay man to a young woman. Like Mishima's earlier novel Confessions of a Mask, it is generally considered somewhat autobiographical.

lol you know nothing because you are a tarded monolingual, if you cracked open an original mishima text, you would find kanji like the following (literally classical chinese phrasing that make reference to thousands of years of eastern literary canon):

不可解 (Bùkějiě / Fukakai): Incomprehensible.
美辞麗句 (Bǐjílìjù / Bijireiku): Flowery language/rhetoric.
弱肉強食 (Ruòròuqiángshí / Jakuniku-kyōshoku): Law of the jungle (the weak are meat, the strong eat).
... and so on and so forth

it's so funny most mishima "fans" are the "me strong" nietzschean types that want to crush the inferior han bugman, meanwhile mishima himself was the biggest literary sinophile that advocated RETVRN to patrician sino-japanese vocab

mishima would not have wanted to be seen as an adherant of nietzsche, and nietzsche wouldn't have him as a disciple. mishima was very much invested in what nietzsche would call "slave morality", in fact, he championed that "slave morality" even after his master, the emporer, turned his back on it.

Mishima was a gay fascist who died in immense agony from a violent, initially botched ritual suicide. And this happened after his deranged, failed coup to reinstate the long-defeated emperor of Japan.

If you idolize Mishima instead of viewing his life as the travesty that it was, you are a pitiful moron with no moral compass and an absolute pseud.

Fuck you. Imagine indians beat your country in a war and then force you to change your 2000+ year old goverment structure and culture to whatever they deem acceptable.

There is nothing spooked about rejecting everything post WW2 became as a soulful young jap like Mishima. First thing that comes to mind for me whenever Japan is mentioned is cute anime lolis. That is their main cultural export. Point out the honor in that to me Saar.

Who goes on to marry a woman and have all kinds of conflicting feelings about it as he goes on to have several affairs with dozens of gay lovers and takes up quite a big chunk of the novel while the psychopathic man takes a back seat for most of it
Mishima clearly once again split himself between the resentful classically educated and erudite old man, the young and handsome gay boy who struggles with morality as he descends into degeneracy, and to a lesser extent the sensually frustrated and jaded but still hopelessly romantic older woman
