Maybe someone already posted this before, but Mishima directed a film named Yûkoku (translated as Patriotism), which has a scene where Lieutenant Takeyama (Yukio Mishima) commits seppuku. The sensual belly movements, the close-ups on his belly, and the act of "gracefully turning one's spirit and one's body inside out like rose petals"- Aah, simply exquisite~!

A fair warning for the weaklings out there: this video depicts the "beauty" of "the insides of a human being". Watch at your own risk. Don't complain if you don't like it.  

The cutting of the belly starts at around 16:00 (edit: more precisely, 17:28)



Here are some tidbits about Mishima for your entertainment:
An interesting account about Mishima's motive for committing seppuku at the end of his life (from a Reddit comment):

Quote:"The most startling insight into Mishima's motives is revealed in an interview with an old lover in an S&M club (where the author resists an invitation to pee over another member). Mishima picked up the then 20-year-old student in a gay bar. Sex took the form of role-play. Mishima enjoyed acting out a seppuku complete with the appropriate props, a death poem, a sword for his lover to clutch and, from his briefcase, a length of red cloth, the "blood and guts? The young man watched amazed as Mishima got hard at once and as he died, he came. Without touching himself at all. I had never seen anyone do that before. Mishima appeared entirely un- interested in his lover: I think I was just a witness to something he wanted to do in front of an audience. After three dates of role-play and no sex, he dropped the author."

Quote:"In Kyoto I never experienced an air raid, but once when I was sent to the main factory in Osaka with some orders for spare parts for aircraft, there happened to be an attack and I saw one of the factory workers being carried out on a stretcher with his intestines exposed.
What is so ghastly about exposed intestines? Why, when we see the insides of a human being do we have to cover our eyes in terror? Why are people so shocked by the sight of blood pouring out? Why are a man's intestines ugly? Is it not exactly the same in quality as the beauty of youthful, glossy skin? What sort of face would Tsurukawa make if I were to say that it was from him I had learned this manner of speaking - a manner of thinking that transformed my own ugliness into nothingness? Why does there seem to be something inhuman about regarding human beings like roses and refusing to make any distinction between the inside of their bodies and the outside? If only human beings could reverse their spirits and their bodies, could gracefully turn them inside out like rose petals and expose them to the spring breeze and the sun..."

In this scene, I take on the role of a gangster caught in a dramatic moment of action as he is shot. The tension is palpable, with the choreography and effects emphasizing the gravity of the moment, showcasing both intensity and storytelling.

I like this heroic image and would like to give credit to Remixing Reality for creating this.

It excites me to think I could be one of these muscular Romans celebrating victory after battle, enjoying an intimate moment as we embrace each other, with double ended spearheads penetrating our navels and our rock-hard manhoods rubbing against each other in ecstasy. The excitement would be even better with us both naked, as other warriors in our group cheer us on to climax.

GaryJ (a friend of the board) has posted on of his amazing compilations for Hercules Against the Sons of the Sun, starring Mark Forrest as Hercules. Lots of bare chested warrior being stabbed here. My favorite part is at 6:30, where Hercules stabs a man square in the gut. The victim here staggers to the wall in agony, and slides down it as he dies. Wonderful!

It was time for the annual plea to the gods. The gods needed to be asked for a bountiful harvest and victory over enemies. Messages to the gods had to be delivered in the gods' world. No living being could enter that place, so there was the matter of the sacrificial altar. Men from the tribe eagerly volunteered. The captives were not so eager. Eager or not, the chosen messengers lined the steps to the altar and were sent on their way.
