Death Note The Movie

One Japanese movie that I saw that made my mind work like a madman is the Death Note. From its anime origin, Death Note was the story Light Yagami, a simple and intelligent university student who have seen the crimes and corruption of the world to its ultimate. Until one day, finds a mysterious notebook that change his life forever, "the Death Note". On it was the instructions that, if a human's name is written within it, the person dies. Skeptic of the notebooks authenticity, Light experimented and tried it, killing two criminals in an instant. And now light believes that the book is real. Until Light will meet the true owner of the notebook, Ryuk, a shinigami. With his new power, Light tried to seek justice by passing judgment to criminals and creates a new world where he is god. He will then be called "Kira" , which is derived from the English word "killer", with the Japanese pronunciation.

The number of criminal deaths caught the attention of the International Police Organization and the mysterious detective know as "L". L quickly finds out that the serial killer is from Japan, and concluded that Kira can kill people without laying a hand on them. This brought L as Kira's greatest enemy. And their race to prove mental superiority has just begun.

I found this Japanese movie very interesting because it could make you think as what would happen next. The intelligence of the two main characters brought this movie very unique. As its not like the usual battle like we seen in action movies, but a battle between minds. Guessing what will be the next move of their enemy and how to make a counterattack. For sure, this movie will make your brains come out.
