the end of death note

I just finished watching Death Note the movie. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the plot, it’s a psychological game of tag between the protagonist, L and Kira or Light Yagami. It’s all about fighting for what’s right and of course, the ultimate thing, justice.

"Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Light. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Light discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.

Much as I’d like the earlier part, this one heavily disappoints me. I don’t know why. Maybe because like everything else in life, it builds up.. it reaches its peak. But once you get there, you really don’t know what the fuss was all about in the first place. I guess for some people, the highlights of one’s life may be in the middle or early on or at the end.. Everything’s subjective nowadays.

Can I just say again that I was disappointed in the movie? I guess, it weighs heavily upon me that L did not survive the end of the script. But I guess the point that they’re trying to make in it is that whether you’re good or bad, you’ll end up dead anyway.

Tsk.. Tsk.. Such is life.
