Yukoku - Yukio Mishima Harakiri scene

[max1511profilo5]

...when u dnt fuck...that can happen...

to be gay was so terrible to him...whoo can accept his nature?

if mishima born 50 y later....nothing happen like this.

in that ritual, his lover Morita Masakatsu finish the work cutting his head, and after he suicide himself...

just another gay die...but whitout reason...

[oOResidentEvil]

the japs don't fuck about do they o.O

[shanemg16]

I am far too stoned to watch something like this...

[PrincessSpearmint]

OH! OUCH!! I saw the seppuku scene, and it's very realistic looking, how they pulled it off is

unknown to me, but the makeup, the blood, it looked as emotionally disturbing as the real

thing. I, oh man, how painful that ritual is, if that person has no beheader, and in this case,

a painful thing and no mistake!! WOW, that guy was fantastic!!!! They showed the person doing it and dying in clips, four stars!!!!

[raywilliamjamson]

First of all, his preformance as an actor was incredible in this film. Secondly, it is my belief that is is even slower, more painful, and more courageous to continue living despite hardship. Life gives more challanges that physical torture by cutting yourself open like a coward. To fully struggle, one must live no matter what, because to be honest, there is no actual evidence of any afterlife. Living is all you have, so overcome the pain and enjoy the journey.

[brianthao102]

For People who don't Understand the Honorable suicide (Hara Kiri/Seppuku) it is the Way of the Samurai Bushido code to take your life when Shamed or Dishonored. However You must Cut at the Belly and it takes Courage to take your life in a slow and Painful death. So to people who don't understand I just told you, To people who don't like suicide... Stop wasting your time and watch Other video

[tigersoony]

beautiful

[ThatTankid]

Suicide is a cowards way especially like that. I love the Japanese culture but suicide should never have been apart of the Boshido code of Honour, it's cowardly to commit suicide

[qwedsazxcxzasdewq]

@ThatTankid I find it hard to think that cowardice is what it takes to do this... It's a great honor, indeed, to die like this. It's a tradition so antique that roots grow from it. You would never understand, neither would I. We are the cowards. They, the samurai?, well, they are definitely nothing else than heroes.

[qwedsazxcxzasdewq]

@ThatTankid And, believe me, he didn't do that only because his girlfriend dumped him.

[Inkki89]

@ThatTankid to have you known that back then it was the opposite. It was about honor.

[premiam123]

三島由紀夫のマスターベーション的映画だ。

[Chellspecker]

Sorry, Yukio, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Your suicide was a shameful mistake. Not beautiful. Not meaningful. Cowardly. I feel sad that you were in such pain and confusion your whole life that you banished compassion from it completely and took your own life. Not to mention this scene is completely over the top. It would be comical if not for the tragedy that followed. What irony that fanatical nationalists seem to always end up selfishly abandoning their countries in suicide.

[Foc4ccin4]

@Chellspecker He was not nationalist, apolitic.

[Asmoraiden]

Its a realy wonderful death, but i miss the most important person for a Seppuku: the Kaishaku.

[FlashOutz]

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF BEAUTY IS THIS!

[metroquipu99]

I don´t think this is beautifull...I think this is stupid. One has to live for a cause.

[Entei2000]

@metroquipu99 better than jumping off building.

[TheGhostSmyth]

To think he carried this exact same thing out 4 years later (I think), is just haunting.

[randomenvelope]

hmm, not beautiful at all, a beautiful death would be no scars or mess, his guts is hanging out and shit, beautiful my ass.

I love mess and guts but people saying this is beautiful are just fucked up, brutality for the win.

[dipu94321]

@randomenvelope sometimes,beauty is in the act,not in the presentation.

[jama2250]

how do they make this look so real?

[LolToalNoobs]

@jama2250 it is real. He wanted to capture it on film to display his honor as a japanese samuri

[AnaKosta]

@LolToalNoobs Not real. This a short movie based on a short story written by him, "Yokoku" (Patriotism), starring himself. A terrible preview of his final fate, as he committed seppuku four years later in 1970.

[Carnage1235]

I have respect for ritual suicide, but I think I prefer the good old fashioned Western way of doing it. Fail yourself in a military stance, shoot yourself in the head. Much less painful.

[gleo123]

what the name of the soundtrack ?

[legunncat]

You guys know this isn't real, right?

[Entei2000]

@legunncat It isn't but looks real damn,

[iamthenrone]

I get that there is something beautiful with seppuku. To be brave and honor your life by walking into death without fear. But I am still terrified by death myself so I find seppuku sickening.

[aTmgiveusroom77]

Yes, suicide is beautiful. Right.

[adityariangsenjati]

kemana kau pergi setelah ini berakhir??

[f3wbs]

i still dont like seppuku =(

[OrientalSpiderman]

test

[OrientalSpiderman]

test



[tannerwaterbury]

Dude! I never threw up on any video...but this one make me spew! I don't know why, it just did

[w700awg]

I prefer a rifle O_o

[krysap]

I am little bit scared of myself, because I am finding seppuku beautiful from my childhood :-) But, this one is too cruel from my point of view, because there was not any kaishakunin to help him. I, as a woman, would also like to see the fate of his wife. I suppose she also commited suicide. Thanks for this video!

[Matrek11]

after 4 years he committed seppuku for real

[Rugalez]

Madness...suicide is for the losses

[88naka]

@Rugalez Thats in a Christian point of view, in the samurai way ending your own life for meter of honor or guilt is the ultimate act for taking responsibility.

[claudelebel55]

@88naka Whatever the point it is simply a belief. One can take full responsibility without taking one's life. It could even be argued that suicide, no matter how ritualized and glorified, is less courageous than facing up to the world and your place in it with integrity.

[spartan8345]

@claudelebel55 You say that because you are a coward, and afraid to die.

[Agen0000]

@spartan8345 You are a fool.

Suicide is utterly without meaning. All this honor and glory is bullshit. It solves nothing.

[claudelebel55]

@spartan8345 Let me know when you have committed hara kiri. Let me know what it got you and what it did for the world and those you pretend to love.

[vvaeee]

Really proves he has some guts.

[CORWERA]

this vid was so indescribable better than all the other seppuku scenes. though i only watched 4 minutes of his work i truly respect this yukio mishima (i guess he was a movie director or something)

[DeadpoolLuv69]

Fuck that .. gimme the glock.. lol

[burgerkingmurders]

alright! You got a lot of guts, Oscar!

[paziels]

grande coraggio ma molta codardia

[0SH1CH1]

crazy

[TurlesJr]

i dont have the guts for a slow painfull death prefer be a kamikaze

[retardboy1165]

Much more beautiful when watched in it's entirety.

[sakaerad]

From his novel: Patrioctism.

[roccomaster]

ufff! que escena!...y todavia le quedan fuerzas para cortarse el cuello!. que coraje!

[YoungBelaLugosi]

Beauty in the tragedy,

what non-Japanese can understand it?

Mishima was the greatest writer in the world ever.

[arowerlikenoother]

@YoungBelaLugosi There is no beauty in suicide or by extension in dying. In some culture it can be honorable and in some specific cases approved, but it's never a form of beauty.

[RagingGeneral]

i like japan for their work ethic and some of their entertainment such as animes, i do not have a problem with them. but i have to say i think this is by far the most non-practical thing i have ever seen. lets say the mongols really did have a grip on japan, they would need leaders to fight even after defeat not kill themselves. its the dumbest thing i have ever seen or heard of.

[Boahnico]

its not dumb. its idealistic.

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

That's gay.

[supertartan]

un eroe dell'occidente!

[jeremy19b]

MISHIMA YUKIO IS HEROE

[fanmattai]

nods. and the lack of a kaishakunin makes this more like jumonji giri, though without the vertical cut.

[ideiao]

It's because Mishima did not know the proper way of doing the seppuku.Then he went learn it from Nakamura Taizaburo,a famous swordsman tha lived in Yokohama,by the way,the sword he used was given to him by Nakamura(who did not know that Mishima was going to finish himself).The sword used for kaishaku was a Kanemoto(some people believed it to be a Magoroku but it is not true).

[cybersharque]

That kaishaku had no style, and where is the death poem? What's the point of seppuku like a barbarian would commit?

[toocoldhere]

there you go yukio! my hero, i love you with all my heart!!! one of the greatest poetic geniuses of all times!!!!

[paganhousecat]

heil Mishima

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

I fear the irony is lost...

[Existanceminimal]

The woman's blood-splashed kimono looks like an orchid in 3:46

[Handlethevibe]

Was it originally scored with Liebestod or did the author just add it in?

[CKOPOXBAT]

Glory  Yukio Mishima!!!!

Heil from Russia!!!

[WaffenDegrelle]

Heil Mishima!

[milkau828]

Heil Mishima!

[belaisko]

It takes tons of courage to make death so beautiful as this. Beautiful masterpiece, isn't it? Directed and performed by Mishima himself...

[kaguth]

@belaisko It also takes a lot of guts.

[AzunaiSmyth]

@kaguth problem is, when you do this, the guts come out :D

[DeadpoolLuv69]

@belaisko are you kidding me? sucks to die like this.. Honorable or not..

[belaisko]

@DeadpoolLuv69 Any way to die sucks when it's not time for you to die. But few people have the opportunity or the courage to decide how they will die when their time arrives. Most of us will die from sickness, old age or a car crash by surprise, that sucks.

[DeadpoolLuv69]

@belaisko nah dude.. i rather die by surprise.. i mean how would you feel if someone would tell you when youre gonna die.. if they told me tomorrow i die, i would fucking panic into frenzy.. Like seriously.. I rather die by old age, and car crash.. i might reconsider sickness.. but slicing your lower abdomen and letting your guts slither out? Once youre dead.. it doesnt matter how you died.. you die.. you die..

[yzwme586]

@belaisko that ain't beautiful, that's fuckin gruesome bud

[Entei2000]

@belaisko And lots of guts too. It's painful process

[belaisko]

@Entei2000 Guts, indeed (we can even see them). Perhaps the most impacting movie scene I ever saw. Mishima is one the intellectuals I most respect and no wonder one of the most relevant figures of Japanese culture ever.

[natsuki124]

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

si.

[kengokyo]

つまんねｗ

[anaaaaal]

Boring.... a coward's way out.

[TuathTinn]

Poisoning is, maybe, but you can't claim someone who's capable of tearing their own guts out is a coward.

[xfx1118]

Coming from someone called Anaaaaal, I hardly find your word convincing vs the actions of a hero like Mishima.

[skanaos]

I think I'm too coward to even try it. It's not about been a hero, it's about the balls you need to do it, feel that pain and do not give up...

[hathathatkilenckilen]

You say this so easly from your comfortable chair.

[shidamitsuo]

I hear the actress became insane after this film.

[Ansarfellah]

it's real!

[SomeoneFin]

To the guy who asked why to cut belly, it is because Japanese believe(d) that human soul is locaded in the belly, thus cutting the belly will cut the soul.

Plus, painfulness may have contrubuted to "He's sorry for his crimes" thing.

[elyserg]

what's is the difference between those two?

harakiri and seppuku?

[Jeimuzu]

Seppuku was a ritual thing, Hara kiri was something done to not be captured from what Ive read.

[elyserg]

thanks~

that helps a lot~

i'm doing a presentation on it~

do pray 4 me~

[Metamorposer]

Wrong. Seppuku and harakiri is the same thing, harakiri is just more of a "slang" word for it.

[Boahnico]

I would say that despite of the idea of the soul lying in this place the seppuku practice is about showing that the suicide is not scared of the pain the enemy could give him, but he wants to keep his dignity...

[majnun89]

Well,what's the music playing in the background?

[bondurango]

Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan & Isolde.

[Ingridon]

Nie autor a stworzyciele tego filmu!Poganie jednak wygląda-zastrzelili by i wszystko!

[elenacute22]

It's very cruel :'(

[gokurakuando]

Seppuku!

[ryunguber]

誰か介錯してやれよ。

[Trigaranus]

I've always thought of seppuku as being quite a noble custom. But it really is just hara-kiri, belly-cutting. And as such, it is tremendously daft. Dying for a noble reason: why not? Butchering yourself in a really gruesome way: why on earth? To show you're really butch, I guess.

[elyserg]

what's is the difference between those two?

harakiri and seppuku?

[thegirlfullofsakura]

in seppuku it's included the decapitation by a very close companion called kaishakunin

[evangelionsc]

Po!!! esse cara é sujeito homen.

[synthwerk]

This film will be available from Criterion in June.

[guncow12]

why any body no cut his head off

[Jeimuzu]

Because one...its not for a honorable cause. He was ordered to kill himself by his Master, Making the person, Yukio suffer to show that he still has honor for his master.

[elyserg]

what's is the difference between those two?

harakiri and seppuku?

[takk123]

same thing

[usagetta]

harakiri don't beheaded but seppuku yes

[guncow12]

HOLY SHIT that must hurts

[NiCroq]

we just learned about seppuku today in history (yes VERY interesting day) and my teacher said he was watching a movie on youtube (whilist making facial expressions of horror) i doubt this is the one he saw, probably the most violent scene i've seen in any movie

[NiCroq]

[hathathatkilenckilen]

You will never know. Because this comment of yours show that you lock yourself away from other cultures and beliefs.

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

It's not a cultural issue. It's not only a cultural issue. Not finding this homoerotic fascist depiction of sepukku beautiful is not "locking oneself away from other cultures and beliefs". Man! To each is own.

[krirre]

i dont think that is possible to do..

[exaybache]

try it yourself and let us know how it turns out

[krirre]

no, if im going to commit suicide, i want it to go very fast.. a nice headshot maybe? what about you

[exaybache]

not sure, probably fall from a great height

[krirre]

hmm.. scarry moment before you die :D

[primoemonuel]

wow...

that was honor...i would really think it twice. Maybe i would do it if someone cut my head before, but not by myself...

[13HOUR]

I think Mishima was the real last samurai.

[doctornerbus]

you are right.....very brave

[sprengguertel]

an dieser stelle gruß an alle onkelz fans :D

[Koroschiya]

So beautiful. Mishima was a true genius.

[BigBossAZF]

Mishima was a really dionisiac man...

[Jary2]

Lol, of course i meant that this means having balls, for the people that really did it. Real Samurai.

[dkelly26666]

Yukio Mishima DID really do it, FOR REAL, four years after this fictitious one.

[fanmattai]

though it was a blundered execution.

[Jary2]

This is called to have balls.

[MockTheFools]

No - this is called to act in a movie and have pig entrails poured down your trousers.

[miguchi]

you clearly never knew of Mishima and the significance of the scene this depicts.

[MockTheFools]

On the contrary miguchi - I've read everything of his that has been translated into English and I also know a Japanese gentleman that was at university with Chibi Koga. I stand by my previous comment.

[merutemy]

このシーン大好き！

[MockTheFools]

Dear merutemy: Judging by your enjoyment of this particular scene and your "favourite" video listing, you are a little right-wing to say the least. Do you hang out at the Yasukuni Jinja on a Sunday wearing combats or a black uniform? If so, I might have seen you there chatting to the strange old guy in a Kampeitei uniform.

[merutemy]

どうもです

でもそれは人違いだと思います。。。

[MockTheFools]

Gomen nasai - I'm sorry if I was mistaken merutemy-san.

[merutemy]

大丈夫です☆

[thaxdouglas]

would it be too much to ask to upload the whole movie in 3 parts

[nebuwolves]

o god sick

[MockTheFools]

As I've said before, Mishima used to get off on role-playing seppuku with his male lovers. He would achieve orgasm as he pretended to die in agony. So, perhaps they had to use careful editing when making this film to avoid showing his boner?

[Rheejungin]

I absolutely agree with your opinion. As we know, Mishima was not heterosexaul. He always tried to achive something which can be called "masculine aesthethic". I think that Mishima had been immersed in this theme for his whole life.

[Rheejungin]

[chanwahshun]

That was amazing rarely have I seen something that violent, that visceral, made into a thing of beauty.

[toocoldhere]

i love mishima...this is beautiful..

[80sboykike]

we know it as hara kiri but that name its not very common in japan they call it seppuku and yes its the suicide of this writer Yukio Mishima

[fanmattai]

seppuku is the more often used written term, hara kiri is the more often spoken term.

[ideiao]

Harakiri is just a term used by people who have no knowledge about samurai culture.Any one who understands the japanese culture would not use such a term.（切腹)Seppuku or（自決）Ｊｉｋｅｔｓｕ　are

the proper terms.

[takakazushin]

Call it neither beutiful nor ugly. This is indeed just a film. In actual harakiri, what mattered had been always its motive including the one actually committed by Mishima some 37 years ago. The important thing is the ability to end your life by yourself when you believed it necessary for the sake of a cause bigger than yourself. This is universal.

[fanmattai]

aye.

Minamoto no Tametomo first did this not out of cowardice, but out of defiance to the enemy.

[chivs0811]

people should read before give a point of view, talking with out knowing nothing about is not valid.

just by knowing the facts you can say if you agree or disagree with something

[9546688]

its no actingfoooooo its real mothafuckas

[cubist]

@_@  It's not real. It's from a movie produced by Mishima. His own suicide wasn't filmed.

[MockTheFools]

Well said LostInKHole. Anyone who thinks cutting through your abdomen and having your shit-stinking entrails pop out into your lap is "beautiful" is rather sick in the head. Unfortunately, judging by this and the other Mishima sites, there's an awful lot of these twisted freaks about.

[LostInKHole]

Beauty? All I see see is disgusting, useless waste of life. There's no honor to it, it's just ugly and sad.

[chivs0811]

For the samurais this was honor, they had a very different way of life, values and discipline, and its shocking to see, but thats the way samurais did things for like 10 centuries.

Maybe you should read about its culture it may help you to understand thing better and of curse have a more valid opinion about it.

[GiudaAmore]

i cried. that's terrible beauty.

[tomafobo]

simply beautyful
