A WAKAMATSH PRODGOTION
Leave these illusions.
Not an illusion. I'm serious.
They just ran, that's all.
And you want to run away, justifying yourself with the fact that everything is tired.
You will run away from me, but from yourself?
I do not believe that you are tired of politics, fun, sex.
True, everything is boring. Don't want to do anything.
Nothing at all...
And love me?
Honestly.
I...
do you want me to die right now?
Rioko! Rioko!
The Woman Who Wanted to Die
Yukio Mishima committed hara-kiri. The act of a madman or the call of the heart? 90 minute drama.
If I cut open my stomach, will you cut off my head?
Forget about them.
If you want to die, let's commit double suicide.
It's pointless.
I'll go home.

I... damn... I... not... not a child!
I am an adult. Adult!
Yes. You are an adult.
And the older you get, the more you resemble a naive child.
Himself to blame. So right?
I'm not as naive as I used to be.
I got married to feel like an adult.
-I'm tired today? -Yes. But nothing.
I am grateful to you.
Marriage will be the beginning of a new life.
I took you as my wife, I will love you forever. -Yes.
- I love you with all my heart. - I love you too.
Damn!
As I thought... you're gorgeous.
Beautiful woman.
Expensive.
Never let you go.
I'm already powerless...
More...
Love me more.
I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore.
No.
I will not let you go.
You are not a virgin.
Yes.
I am bad.
Not true.
It is not important.
But...
experienced in sex.
But...
I love you with my heart.
You...
my wife.
It doesn't matter that you've had men before.
They left no trace on me.
Nobody. No one.
I...
love you very much.
Much stronger than any of them.
Rioko.
Damn!
So worry about sleeping with a woman. Quite young, right?
Yes. Young.
I'm only 20.
But it's not just an experience.
I lost my chance to die.
It's too much to talk about death.
No, not too much! This is true!
I missed the chance to die.
I was a woman...
fell in love with her, but missed the chance to die.
- What's so funny? -You reminded me of the samurai from the 47 Ronin legend.
I don't remember what his name was.
Exactly. I... samurai!
I see, you are imitating a famous writer who committed seppuku.
- Okay, I don't have time. The servant said you want to kill yourself. - Otoy!
Laughing at the sincere feelings of people is characteristic of us Japanese.
Your joke has gone too far.
It's not a joke.
Please die with me.
Let go!
It looks like the decision is serious.
Sorry for the intemperance.
If you die for a woman, it will be an imitation.
Better go to her and die together. Commit a double suicide!
Or do you want to die with me?
Okay, I'll tell you.
This scar is the mark of a failed suicide attempt.
The suicide pact is never respected.
I so want to die.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Let's go for a walk today. -Yes.
- I want to tell you something. - I'll be happy to go.
I was 17, he was 20.
I felt sorry for him, I thought he was suffering from unrequited love.
He sat in his room all day and cried.
I was young, I fell in love with him.
Everyone tried to reason with me, but I did not listen, I agreed with him.
She dreamed of a beautiful love between the daughter of an innkeeper and an unfortunate student.
She completely lost her head.
And he only wanted to commit suicide, to go after his mistress, who died in Tanigawa.
I...
wanted to help him.
She gave her young heart and body, and it didn't matter to him.
But I was happy.
Happy?
Yes.
Very happy. So much so that she invited him to commit suicide together.
Was it your idea?
He replied that he was ready to die in order to follow his love.
But he will die happy because he met me. He did, making love to me.
We decided to jump down here.
We're inseparable now, right?
No I can not.
Let's not.
We should. Must die.
I'll follow you, okay?
He hit me because he couldn't bring himself to die.
Got scared and ran away.
I tried to stop him.
Wait!
I cant!
Wait!
Die... with me...
I beg...
Wait!
Incredible.
He...
ran away!
Hotel Nakaya
No matter.
He's not worth it.
Did your girlfriend run away too?
It's my own fault for not dying.
Don't think about it anymore.
- But what? Myzhe decided to jump.
We haven't jumped yet.
- They haven't died yet. You are as beautiful as death.
Mrs...
Don't know...
He lives like nothing happened.
About a pretty girl.
Don't need about it!
She reminds me of when I was younger.
How wonderful.
Wonderful?
- This is how to come to life after I wanted to die. - Revive?
No.
I can't do that. I can not...
I will open.
What do you need?
We're having lunch. Come back later.
- Please, come with me. - I repeat - we are having lunch now.
Stupid!
- You... - Don't interfere, it doesn't concern you.
- I'll take care of Ryoko. - About Ryoko?
She's my wife. You can speak to me.
- No, the third extra. I want to talk to her alone. - She does not want.
This is true?
Are you her friend? What is your name?
- I'm Ichiro Yoko. - I know! And I also know that you chickened out and did not commit suicide.
Ryoko, now I understand why you hooked up with this man.
Please listen to me. I thought about how I should die.
- Shut up! "I told you, it's none of your business!"
Don't come! Please leave me alone.
Nightmare!
Calm down, it's over. If he comes back, I'll kick him out.
Give me a hug! Please hug!
Only one's own actions can bring back the essence of one's own.
Fearless man draws a sword from its scabbard
So it has been for centuries until today's frosty day
Damn! What am I doing?
I've been wearing this for 10 years.
What to do?
Maybe I...
This scar...
That old face...
I survived...
And met him again.
Mistress!
They came to you.
Who?
You look great.
Congratulations, you're married.
Recently.
I didn't think we'd ever meet.
Please don't say that.
I didn't know you were alive.
I'm sorry.
I didn't survive because I wanted to. She just couldn't die.
And you have a great future ahead of you.
And I decided not to remind you of the failed suicide.
Please stop bullying. I want to tell you how I lived these years.
After all, there was an investigation. You should have known that I was alive.
Why lie after so many years?
Sorry. I'm so weak.
I cursed you.
It was difficult for me too. About that very day.
I barely survived.
However...
continued to live in spite of everything.
After the wedding, I came here on my honeymoon trip.
I was subconsciously drawn to this place.
If not for this suicide, we could still be together.
Please shut up!
Natsu...
Natsu, I'm happy that we met again.
It's been a long 10 years.
Yes.
10 years.
Already...
too late, right?
Yes, it's too late.
When the world collapses, the night storm says: Leaves tend to fall.
Fearless man draws a sword from its scabbard
It's been that way for centuries Until today's frosty day
- I constantly think about it. We failed to die. - Not too late.
If you miss your chance, there won't be another. It's useless to regret. -Let's try.
I know what happened to my husband.
Spilled water cannot be collected.
It would be nice to become water, to always run somewhere.
You're like a kid. Do you think this will help?
Of course. I would flow and say to everyone I meet: Be prepared to die.
Do not make me laugh! Even with you.
Others... they just ran away.
Seppuku is in vogue these days, so your words are meaningless. That's funny.
No matter what I believe, that's my business. We've run away.
But they didn't commit suicide.
- Went. - Where? - Come with me.
Let's try again.
- Can we? - In any case, it is worth starting all over again.
We will meet.
- I'm afraid I want to die again. - Don't be stupid. We will not die.
- Let's try to live. - I want to die. - Despite everything?
Yes.
I've always lost
achieved nothing in life.
One day my mind was on fire.
I was out for blood, I felt like a killer
looking for death.
As the world crumbles around, the night storm says: Leaves tend to fall.
Madness becomes reality.
You can't lie when you're bleeding.
By their death they are trying to prove something.
Looking at the blade, I feel that it cannot be moved aside.
I don't know what that means.
Maybe die right now.
Do you want to die with me?
Yes I want to.
Then why did you marry him? Why did you drive me away?
I don't know... I was disgusted with myself.
Everything seemed absurd. - Admit why you want to die!
There is no particular reason. Does this need a reason?
Crap!
Stop it!
"I don't have a reason to die now either!" - Please stop! What did you think?
Sorry, we decided to try again.
It's nice to know you're swimming against the current.
Perhaps it is thanks to you. Thank you.
- Did you decide? -Yes.
It was as if I had lifted a load that had been weighing me down over the years. Figured out my feelings.
So you realized why you want to die?
Will you try again?
- What? - Not. This is not another attempt.
10 years ago, we failed to commit double suicide. Live to this day.
For me, life has since become a daily battle with death.
Exactly. All these years
the terrible feeling of guilt that we had not been able to die turned us into the living dead.
We convinced ourselves that we have a reason to live, so it dragged on until now.
I got married
that's why.
Tried to find blood and flesh in any way. That's why I came here.
- Find flesh and blood? Yes, get back your essence.
The old self, who died that day long ago.
No matter how much you lie to yourself, you can't get away from the truth. That's why we want to die.
Correctly. That's what the words I want to die mean.
We want to return the lost essence.
What selfishness!
"Damn, it's not dying anymore." -And the desire to finish what was started 10 years ago.
- Suicide is now a perversion. - What and to whom do you want to prove it?
No, we are not trying to prove anything to anyone.
We die only for ourselves.
The old me couldn't die.
And the old me couldn't die.
So end yourself. I'll help you.
He is right. I could not get.
If you do that, I'll take a look and follow suit.
No, I have no illusions.
- I want peace in the time left to me. Every breath brings me closer to death.
I will help you.
No need.
You can't live after this.
Nonsense. I had to kill, and nothing - I live!
You're lying. And I know very well why.
- You want to die. But you can’t, so you’re talking nonsense about help. - Shut up!
Do not pay attention.
Excellent. Then let's. End yourself right now.
We came to kwam of our own free will. They wanted to know the extent of their own selfishness.
Help us end our lives. We'll make sure you don't have any problems.
We rely on you.
Please do it.
Horror of Mishima's Beautiful Destruction. He publicly cut his stomach open.
It's time.
- It was easy. -Yes.
- I don't think I'll kill myself now. - Yeah.
After all, 10 years ago they had a reason to die. And we reminded them of her.
