(Not sorry for bad english, I have no respect for this language) When I heard about this movie, I was thinking that I would learn more about Mishima's ideology from it. To my disappointment I didn't, but at least I know more about Mishima himself. It feels as if in most of the movie he was feeling uncomfortable and acting like a machine, and only in death he was truly honest with us. It kind of tracks with his life as a homosexual and a highly sensitive man. I don't know what else to say.
