Definitely one of the greatest movies I've ever watched. Would give a 5 but Ill decide that on my second watch. First movie I've watched after my last day of high school

Couldn’t stop thinking about how George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola were Executive Producers for this film.  Loved the set pieces and the visual color tones. Was hard at times to know which person was Mishima throughout the film, which made me confused at times. Recommended to me from Mathijs for our Discord’s Film Club.

“All my life I have been acutely aware of a contradiction in the very nature of my existence. For forty-five years I struggled to resolve this dilemma by writing plays and novels. The more I wrote, the more I realized mere words were not enough. So I found another form of expression.” “My need to transform reality was an urgent necessity, as important as three meals a day or sleep.” “Men wear masks to make themselves beautiful. But unlike a woman's, a man's determination to become beautiful is always a desire for death.”

Mishima, the man I wanna be, he who tried to converge action with art. The movie is poetry captured on film; built with words from within the soul, imagery drawn from the depths of his psyche, together, they paint the devoted heart of an artist unlike others; a portrait of a man that weaves itself through a lifetime, from troubled upbringing to a man of unwavering will, his art has been nothing but a reflection of his self and ideals,
