11.25 The Day He Chose His Own Fate

Quite bad! As bad as all Wakamatsu's stuff since 2007 & his discovery of dv camera! So: ugly, no style, bad acting, bad rhythm, bad music. Looks like the worst j-dramas. Don't know what he wanted to do since he is/was a left-wing activist, highly hater of patriotisms. Surely he wanted to ridicule Mishima? he quite succeeded with this ridiculously not charismatic actor, so refined, so gay (&so unmuscular haha)

    For your information, Mishima actually was a homosexual who frequented Tokyo gay bars.

    Franck W, everybody knows that, thks -__- . Mishima was very virile though being gay. Show a womanly mishima is a way to kill the myth, to ridicule the figure

    Wakamatsu wasn't out to ridicule Mishima, just to challenge the romanticised image people like Schrader confirmed. Mishima was a brilliant writer, but there was nothing heroic about his coup attempt.

    ok, but it doesn't need a so cheap picture and direction for that...
