For some reason I can't post links, but Look up "WE soundtrack" song name "Fight" it sounds very much like this song and much more like "Mishima" video with the empty theater.
@AlchemicTraveler Found it at /watch?v=deqGUcnRe-g&feature=related .... I would say they're VERY similar. However I agree with you that PG's is way better.
Finally! I've been searching for half hour thru Philip Glass's stuff. This is the song that's on the "This is Flight" commercial for the new Fly Wade 2 by Jordan. I can't be the only person wondering.
of most songs, i get tired off after a while when i listend to them alot. but this song, this song keeps clearing my mind and let me drift away and just relax :) i just love it! it is one of my all time favorite pieces
My friend sent me this link and said "Checkout this great dub!" So I say here for 3:00 waiting for a bass drop. I never found one, but yet I found an epic song.
RE: Sybok1988 - Western Political Terms, such as "fascism" are general in their scope. And I agree that the use of the term "fascist" is incorrect in describing Mishima's ideals. It's much more fascinating and complex; how an individual can manifest such talent and at the same time be so mistaken in his path. Both glorious and curious. Worthy of study, neh?
If you mean Mishima was a fascist to his art, I might agree. Can you call all fascists followers of Hitler or Mussolini? I think not. Fascism has many facets, some of which are worthy of examination. In the same light, Mishima was a "royalist" or a firm believer in the royal family being ascendant, to the detriment of all else. In that same light he may be called a "chauvinist." He refused to compromise his beliefs. His inflexibility led to his demise, but did not detract from his art.
@HoboVodka - You never read even one of his books, that's for sure ! It's not so difficult to call anyone a fascist. When you compare Mishima to Hitler, you might come to the conclusion that Mishima was as much a fascist as a duck crossing the street. He was an artist, a poet, who wrote beautiful books. One of Japan'sGreatest writers ever.
@HoboVodka I am fully aware of Mishima's political leanings. He was a fascinating person with an interesting personality. Honestly there's not enough on him today for as good an author he was.
Sublime and breathtaking score. There are so many great Philip Glass compositions, but his contribution to Paul Schrader's film "Mishima" will always be my favorite. Every note and every passage sounds perfect to my ears. I absolutely love the way he constructs his pieces. It's so distinctive and wonderful.
I would recommend listening to the third Schönberg quartet and Mishima successively because I see them as a nice representation of our duality as humans.
Schönberg expresses our irrational part, our inner fears and the overwhelming pressure of ourselves as members of a higher structure.
Glass expresses our inner beauty, the never ending creativity and sincerity represented by soft, bright and seemingly never ending arpeggios.
Both pieces are incredibly beautiful in their personal sphere.
@akkiunderling it is in my last will and testament that when i die, i want a funeral by the beach and i want my ashes thrown into the ocean as this song is playing.
this is by far the most beautifull piece of music ive ever heard in my entire life. the movie was ok but the soundtrack is just perfect. whenever im stressed or mad i listen to this song and it calms me and just make me drift away from all my problems
this guy was a little off in his mind nuff said but then again all great wrtiers and artists are some what of.They dont see the world the same wa the rest of us do
@shadowpk08 that has some truth in it. However Philip Glass's music always has a different point, and if you listen to it carefully you can hear differences which lead to different interpretations. Actual come to think of it, he does have a wide range e.g. Pruit Igoe and Koyaanisqatsi (main theme) where both sound completely different but are still world class :)
@DB3457 ah, of course there is a tonne of variation in his music. I'm not saying it's all the same, I just mean that he has a style you know? I think it's the ostinatos. like... 90% of his music has that ostinato throughout the majority of the song. Anyways, I didn't mean that he has no originality or anything, I love Glass' music. But you have to admit, when you hear a song by Phillip Glass... You can instantly recognize that it's by Phillip Glass.
@shadowpk08 i agree, his music is recognizable almost from the off, but i think of it as more of his trademark. I think the greatest music writers and composers all have instantly recognizable music even if you have never heard the piece e.g. Ennio Morricone and Brian Eno (note to everyone else:I am aware they have some different "sounds" as well).
@jdhornbeck Brian Eno, Ascent An Ending was written for a documentary about the Apollo missions to celebrate the 20th anniversary in 1989 and fulfilled that purpose admirably
Your right he certainly had self gratifying flaws. Temper that with his work and passion and its hard not to admire his outlook of the world. We need more deep dwelling fish like Mishma today, swimming in the world.
Avatar the James Cameron film? ...the only reason could be that someone released a Fake Teaser Trailer which had I think part of this track, or something else from Mishima (by Philip Glass)
I saw this movie yesterday because I'm a great fan of Yukio Mishima. This movie is a great representation of his life and novels. I cried, because he was weak, but he struggled because he wanted to take to the top his ideals. And he did, greatly.
One of my favorite films, and the music is a big part of why. This movie takes a lot out of me every time I watch it, but it also inspires me to great heights. It is encouraging and depressing at the same time. I liked when the end of the Truman Show used a little bit of Glass's Mishima score.
You can find Mishima A Life on the criterion collection, they just released it. I'm about to go buy it because it looks like they restored all the old voice overs and they have a nice lengthy booklet!!!!! This Soundtrack is in my opinion Glass' best work.
Totally. This is my current all time fav film. Paul Schrader is beyond most artsy film directors. I watched this film 4 times in 1 week. I am sitting in work meetings and talking abt crap while this piece of music keeps playing in the back of my mind.
I got it from blockbuster online in the US. I just checked and BB is there in Brazil. Not sure abt Argentina? Do you? or just buy a used copy of the DVD from Amazon...I know its a little expensive but its worth it man...I can go on and on abt this movie..but will contain my excitement!
I have seen 11,244 videos on YouTube. This is the best of them all. There is something in this music that makes me keep coming back and makes it hard to get tired of. This music speaks better than most words can.
Imagine if Philip Glass and Ryuichi Sakamoto worked together to make the soundtrack. Then again Mishima was a man who understood both East and Western Arts.
"shichisei houkoku". It means...seven times reincarnation for protecting emperor. It is a word of famous Samurai. I don't think that Mishima seriously worshiped the emperor. Mishima just wanted to become a Japanese hero. Mishima wanted the Nobel Prize in Literature than causing the revolution.
I think he didn't trusted Hirohito and he was afraid that he would be denounced by him.
As for the seppuku, he understood that actions are stronger than words so instead of being a graffic figure he choose to become a symbol like Saigo Takamori (although his motives were more narcissistics).
I didn't know that there is a movie about him. I am a Chinese but I really like his books. A true man who has given his life to art and us. A so emotional, knowledgeable and complicated person. A true hero.
This is one of my top ten favorite films of all time. It is beautifully filmed and rich in so many ways. I have seen it probably 30 times by myself. It does a great job of capturing Mishima's literary vision (though it does take some liberties) and is absolutely gorgeous to look at.
Glad to be reminded of this masterpiece, which I had on tape many years ago. It actually has some gorgeous melodic (for Glass) themes in it. Never saw the movie, however. Will at least look up the cd of it now.
I put this in its entirety on my church's sound system one afternoon when no one was there but me and played it full volume so that the whole place became filled with this celestial music and I was in its center. To me it is the music of the creation of the universe.
La música de Philip Glass conmueve, seduce, cuestiona. Lenta pero infalible, simple pero profunda, es un placer que todo aquel que ame la música no debe ni puede desconocer
La música de Philip Glass cautiva, seduce y entristece. Lenta pero infalible, simple pero profunda, un placer que todo aquel que ame la música no debe ni puede desconocer

Glass is the spiritual kin of Mozart, Bach and others.

This is one of my top ten favorite films of all time. It is beautifully filmed and rich in so many ways. I have seen it probably 30 times by myself. It does a great job of capturing Mishima's literary vision (though it does take some liberties) and is absolutely gorgeous to look at.

Could you explain, I've never read any of his books but I'm interested in them.

heartm8: Read his novel "Spring Snow" and his short story "Patriotism" and you will understand his outlook and his popularity.

Glad to be reminded of this masterpiece, which I had on tape many years ago. It actually has some gorgeous melodic (for Glass) themes in it. Never saw the movie, however. Will at least look up the cd of it now.

I put this in its entirety on my church's sound system one afternoon when no one was there but me and played it full volume so that the whole place became filled with this celestial music and I was in its center. To me it is the music of the creation of the universe.

La música de Philip Glass conmueve, seduce, cuestiona. Lenta pero infalible, simple pero profunda, es un placer que todo aquel que ame la música no debe ni puede desconocer

La música de Philip Glass cautiva, seduce y entristece. Lenta pero infalible, simple pero profunda, un placer que todo aquel que ame la música no debe ni puede desconocer

The theme to the film "illusionist" by Philip Glass is just as moving.
