简要：This documentary about Yukio Mishima, produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation, highlights many known major aspects of his life and personality. Mishima is the pen name he adopted on the path of choosing a career as a writer. He was eventually recognized as one of the most prolific writers in Japan after World War II, creating stories, dramas, and novels. He was tormented by bisexuality/homosexuality and shyness in front of people when he was young. Both of these have played a role in his works, just like many other events that occurred throughout his life. Mishima had an admirable spirit of dedication to the forgotten samurai lifestyle and ideals, which later turned into an unhealthy obsession and ultimately led to a surprise attack on a general's garrison on November 25, 1970. This is the way Mishima combines beauty, art, and action; In the end, the garrison was forced to gather on that day and listen to his speech, rejecting him. Yukio Mishima sacrificed his life for his ideals, no matter how misguided and distorted people may think he was. He has created 40 novels, 18 plays (including Noh and Kabuki dramas), 20 short stories, 20 essays, and one film, all of which still prove his talent, although he sometimes leans towards commercialization, controversy, and non tradition.
