Yeah but it's a classic novel

Haven't you seen the movie

Lots of degenerate "classics" btw

There's like 10 classics about prostitutes

do you even infinity bruh?

No, haven't seen the movie

are there movies on Vaush.tvee?

Seems like the novel provides a better look at the character's psyche, which is the point of the book, to get in the mind of a pedophile.

>he hasn't seen all kubrick films

imagine investing 500 million in a movie and then corona scares everyone out if the cinema

>doesn't watch collative learning

Idk the movie just seemed like it was just pandering to pedophiles tbh, I don't know why it's a classic, I'm pretty sure it's just the equivalent of 20th century erotic fanfiction

Like ok what was I supposed to get from it

i read lolita

i think it's different to read than to watch the movie

it's about hypergamy and you know that stuff already

The writing voice is that of a madman's

you mean beta simpin' voice

Probably because of the type of people who consume 'the classics' are pedos. Used to be that critics were a high-class intelligentsia, back when the only way you could consume lots of media was to be wealthy. These people are invariably hedonists, and therefore pedos, pedos in denial or borderline pedos.

Probably the reason people love confessions by Mishima for all the wrong reasons.

do you know the theory salinger was pedo too? he's catcher of the rye, the main characther is actually a pedo too

hypergamy? that's a unique interpretation 🙂

As a person who knew that is was just a famous book before reading it, don't read it

most books are like overvalued and if you don't know how to read between the lines, you'll end up as a english lit major

People seem to only want to read it because it's famous. Is it a good book? Regardless of the subject matter is it actually good?

I don't think so. Could've been written better.

Also, you have better things to read than this temporal dust

I'm really enjoying Confessions so far, but it's a translation. I'm not sure if I'm experiencing the work the same way it would've been experienced unadulterated, but I like the prose.

Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima.

Also, I have to point out that I don't know much about these authors and their historical relevance ( meaning how they are connected with the JQ in the past 70 years or so)

I'm at the part where the character, as an adolescent, falls in love with an older delinquent classmate.

Wait I've seen Confessions

Lol it's based on a book?

Confessions of a Mask

There's no adaption that I know of.

Oh ok that's a different one

Translations are literally different works. Prose is tied to its particular language.
You like the translator's interpretation of the book

Confessions, the film is pretty based though

Yes

Most likely

But the translater did a good job
