I had neve
r heard of it before the other night (although I had heard of the manga series from a friend of mine) but I saw the first 25minutes of the first film on Film 4 (Thursday Night)I am hooked, as of now it is possibly the greatest sub-titled film I have seen to date...not only that, Japanese Girls are hot! and I want hair like the Japanese Guys :(
Im so hooked in fact, I may have to purchase a Death Note: notepad :$ - yeah its gone THAT far.. sorry to say :p
Basic Plot:
The series is about Light Yagami, a young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a person's name is written within it while picturing that person's face, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, he real
izes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgement on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.
Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.
My Verdict
It is just amazing, okay the acting is a little bit ... obvious like most foreign films, but it is still totally epic, I would recommend it to anybody with an interest in film!
WOOTWOOT!
now time to buy the comics + the anime's :)
and the notepad :$
