It also has to do with the fact that most of their male population work pedestrian pencil pusher jobs instead actual labor jobs that are supposed to be occupied by men. They import their labor workers or outsource their labor when the wages arent even that high in Japan anyway. Like my bros from japan told me, that an office worker, working full-time and their crazy overtime can make as low or as less than a worker at a convenience store there. They need to outsource the corporate to the US or Europe and bring back their production to Japan. Young men are supposed to do labor work in their 20-30's then in their 40s start working hybrid, doing both a management desk job and getting their hands dirty from time to time, and by their 50s they should be working a desk job til around their 70s. Labor jobs are looked down upon by societies with weaking male populations and low & declining birth rates. The way it is now, the jobs they work only depress them which screws testosterone levels. Men need labor jobs for maintaining testosterone levels. Making college accessible to all while not requiring a minimum physical criteria for men is what makes a society of a bunch of pansies. College itself, in the co-ed nature that we know now, is more designed for the sake of raising women. Look at Europe for instance. Proud of themselves for all the abundant education but the only real men they have, come from the caucuses. It's not about going to war or this military stuff. It's about what society expects from men and how it propels men to that.
@@Rabhadh tl;dr version: men need to work jobs for men to feel like men. Modern day college is made for raising chicks. Hentai is art. Okay maybe that last one wasn't in there but I'm stickin to it.
I'm stay forever grateful to you for this video. Thank you so much. Dear Mishima, may he rest in peace forever.❤🩹 I wish you eternal happiness and peaceful days.
This place no longer exists. It has been redeveloped into a large skyscraper for the Minister of Defense. Ken Ogata, who played Yukio Mishima, passed away in 2008.
you must understand that as member of the losing side of WW2 that your population is in the hands of a government that's contrived and totally in control of foreign capital that has control of your total politics through capitalism. You must as a population break free of this paradigm by following the extra-electotal measures
He wouldnt have wanted to participate in it. It seemed he was sick of the cowardly political bureaucracy and wanted life to return to how it used to be during the edo period or before.
This American movie portrays facts exactly like a documentary. In the end, Mishima was seppuku. His actions shock and confuse Japanese society. Japan's economy at that time was growing, surpassing the 1940 level and trying to rise further. No one felt the need for a coup. On the contrary, Mishima's actions reminded the Japanese of the nightmare between 1936 and 1945, when the civilian prime minister was assassinated and the Army robbed politics. Instead of mourning Mishima, the media and intellectuals at the time criticized it thoroughly.
“Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.” ― Yukio Mishima, Runaway Horses Absolutely goddamn right.
@kelman727 The meaning is right there in the video with Mishima's actions and those of his followers. He turned what he wrote into truth. Ultimately, he saw the futility of it, but still ended up practicing what he preached to the very end. That takes a really strong person. While other writers and artists collect social problems as mere fodder for their artwork and do nothing to advance their solutions, he actually made an effort in line with his thought. You have to respect that on an existential level, even if you think he's an eccentric. It shows a devotion that is wholly absent in a world ruled by money and comfort.
@@rubico1894 Do you actually have the slightest idea what this fruitcake believed? Do you think you should be ruled by an Emperor? There was a reason the real army laughed at this guy.
@@Ken_Scaletta Yes, I've read his works and biographies about him, have you? First off, he didn't believe Japan should be "ruled by an Emperor" (he was actually in favor of "democracy" btw), insomuch as have a figure like the Emperor to be worshipped in a religious fashion. However, the Emperor worship was symbolic, not literal, he considered the idea of the Emperor as a representation of the Japanese people and their culture. He criticized the actual flesh and blood emperor openly and was threatened by other nationalists for it. Ultimately, at the heart of the Mishima incident wasn't an actual attempt to change the government and give all power to Emperor, for one because he saw it to be futile. It was theater. He planned to die that day and turn the "coup" symbolic -- essentially turning his life into a "line of poetry written with a splash of blood", it was the natural conclusion of his philosophy. Read Sun and Steel. This is all I'll give you. Go do your own research.
Author Yukio Mishima's reasons for his self-inflicted death are intertwined with complex and multifaceted factors. Yukio Mishima was a significant figure in Japan's literary realm, and interpretations of his life and death vary among experts and researchers. However, generally speaking, the following factors are often mentioned: Nationalism and Loyalty: Mishima had a strong interest in Japan's traditions and nationalist values. He admired the Self-Defense Forces and resonated with Japan's restorationist movements. He also held beliefs in traditional Japanese bushido spirit and loyalty. Novel "The Sea of Fertility" and the Incident: Mishima wrote the novel "The Sea of Fertility," in which he depicted the inner lives of young individuals in the Self-Defense Forces. Concerns about the political turmoil and leftist movements of the late 1960s were reflected in his work. Then, on November 25, 1970, after the novel's publication, Mishima led a group of Self-Defense Forces members in an attempted coup. However, the coup failed, and Mishima ended his own life. Self-Evaluation and Sense of Failure: While Mishima held a high self-opinion regarding his works and artistic achievements, he also experienced internal loneliness and a sense of failure. The failure of the coup might have been a significant blow to him. Bushido and Honor: Mishima valued the concepts of bushido (samurai code) and honor. It's possible that he intended to express his beliefs through his act of self-inflicted death. Being true to the principles of bushido and personal ideals might have been crucial to him. Yukio Mishima's self-inflicted death resulted from a complex interplay of many factors, and uncovering the exact motives behind it may be challenging. Nevertheless, his life and works continue to be remembered as part of Japan's literature and history.
Where's the end? That's the best part, dudes second misses three times, then another dude steps in, does it, does the other dude for fucking it up, then gets four years.
@@loke5551 I see what you're saying. I have no idea why the 4k bd remux is not available. Maybe it's because the restoration just became available this summer and it's kinda expensive to get. I purchased Mishima on criterion (www.criterion.com/films/588-mishima-a-life-in-four-chapters) and the website clearly states "New, restored 4K digital transfer of the director’s cut, supervised and approved by director Paul Schrader". That's probably the only way to watch it in 4k right now as far as I know.
