DEATH NOTE...

5 February 2015

Death Note. It is a book that was dropped from the sky by the Shinigami. When someone wrote a name in that book, the person with that name will eventually die in 40 seconds due to heart attack. But, if you wrote the cause of the death that person will die according to your wish.

The three main character of this movie are:-

Yagami Light @ KIRA

Ryuk a shinigami

L

This movie started when Yagami Light on his way to go home after he went to the place where the criminal and gangster gathered. Suddenly, he found a black book on the road and he decided to pick it up. Before this he really believed that all the criminals should be punished through the law. But after he went to that place, he thought that they didn’t accept the punishment that they supposed to have.

When he reached home, he opened that mysterious book and there was an instruction on how to use it. At the same time, on the television there was news about the murder of a female high school student. So, he tried to write the name of that murderer and on the next morning when he read the newspaper he found that criminal was already died in the prison. After that, he began to use that ‘Death Note’ to kill all the criminals one by one under the nickname of KIRA.

The instruction on how to use the Death Note

Some people thought that he was a savior and there were also people thought that he was arrogance since all the crime needed be punished by a legal system. After a while, the police started to investigate about KIRA and they assumed that incident as a mass murder. So, in order to reveal the identity of KIRA they cooperated with L.

The ending of the movie unfortunately did not match with my first impression with this movie. Basically I thought that the world would become peaceful because the book was in the hand of someone that studied and believe in law. Therefore, in my first impression I thought that Yagami Light would use that book wisely in order to help the people and keep the world in peace.

Sadly, KIRA used that book cruelly. He not only killed the criminal but he also killed the innocents. For example, he killed the innocent FBI and his girlfriend. He killed his girlfriend also by using that Death Note. He specified her death by making it looked like she was murdered by the other person. He wrote that his girlfriend Shiori Akino would be killed by a firm person. Firstly, she was involved in hostage situation and she was forced to call his boyfriend. She tried to escape but suddenly there was a shot and she died when she tried to protect her boyfriend.

In my opinion, Yagami Light had turned into a cruel monster when he believed that the Death Note was so powerful and it could change the world and destiny. From this fantastic movie I learned that everything that we do in this world has its own limit.
