11:25 The Day He Chose His Own Fate (11・25自決の日 三島由紀夫と若者たち, 11.25 Jiketsu no Hi: Mishima Yukio to Wakamonotachi) is a 2012 Japanese drama film directed by Kōji Wakamatsu. The film was based on the Mishima Incident, which was a failed coup d'etat attempt led by Yukio Mishima in 1970. The film competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[1][2]

Plot[]

In 1970, a well-known Japanese public figure and famous writer, Yukio Mishima, while visiting a military base, suddenly began calling for soldiers to revolt. When his proposal was rejected, he committed suicide in the way that the ancient samurai resorted to if they believed that they were indelibly ashamed. The film will try to put all the fragments of the mosaic in place and find out why this is the end of the life of this outstanding personality.
