It's all about reconciling the physical and spiritual, words and deeds. Mishima sought to transcend the weaknesses of the body and the words that were his passion with deeds and a devotion to a higher ideal. It's about a man who wants to be grand in the way only art can be, but is condemned to be only an artist. So he makes himself and his life into a work of art.

Why would you watch this without even being aware of Mishima or his work?

Could be a Schrader fan, that's why I watched it.

He would have been the posterubermensche for the grand conjunction of /mljpol/ that was germinating on /qa/.
But it was thwarted by hiromoot.

How is he viewed in Japan? Brilliant artist, or dangerous nationalist? Both?

>>81676114
Not like a crazy dangerous fascist but he's admired by nationalists and i think he's appreciated by pretty much anyone interested in his field.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure both. At least that's the impression I got from the film, the government supported his little private army type thing. He was able to just walk into a military base and take a general hostage.
