The nips made a movie about /ourboy/ and it is up on kissasian under the title "No Longer Human." And yes, it features the infamous Dazai and Mishima scene.

Come watch delicious Japanese literature drama and see Dazai attempt to kill himself several times.

What the movie covered:
>his first and last lover's suicide attempts
>Villon's Wife
>how he got the material for Setting Sun
>the writing process for No Longer Human
>his friendship with Sakaguchi Ango--the writer of Discourse on Decadence (but not with Oda Sakunosuke, the writer he wrote the eulogy for)
>the post war inflation
>his affairs
>his living conditions and consumption (TB)
>the argument with Mishima

It did not cover:
>his other suicide attempts, college years, family relations, the writing of Goodbye or Return to Tsugaru
it also only glanced over his drug addictions and alcoholism

Why would I watch this? I can't stand most Nip modern movies. They're usually overacted cheesy family dramas/comedies. I once had the terrible idea of watching the film adaptation of Norwegian Wood and Jesus, that was utter shit.

On the one hand you have something like Twilight Samurai, which is a tasteful execution of a historical reenactment (movie sets, acting and music all fitting the same tone and themes of the film), and on the other there's cheesy crap like Kenshin or Zatoichi.

There's a few gems though, like Koreeda who's great (Miwa Nishikawa was a recent happy discovery), Departures (the one that got the Oscar) and Tokyo Sonata.

Who won?

Mishima was a right-wing nationalist
Dazai was a communist
so Dazai clearly won

Quite literally the other way around.

>> No.15828041

>>15828014
Mishima attempts to be sincere and does it in an artificially contrived manner.
Dazai attempts to be ironic, but in doing so reveals an unparalleled depth of sincerity.

How does it feel to be illiterate and retarded? Is it fun being you?

Doesn't strike me as a particularly sincere person, but I guess most people are multisided.

Did you read No longer Human? He berates them and says he only joined because it was something to do.
