Death Note - Desu nôto: The Last Name (2006)
untrue to its original manga
I've been a fan death note after the watching the 1st series of Anime; and I started reading the manga because the anime wasn't coming out fast enough. the overall the concept of Death Note is intelligent, exciting and has a great story. I was shocked to find that 75% of this movie's story was not from the manga. right from the start: Light's girlfriend dying? TV reporter Takada? where did they come from? aside from new characters, the part where Kira openly says he's the 2nd kira? these points made the movie less intelligent and also more predictable. the acting and direction of the movie was also poor.
but the strangest part of watching this midnight on a Friday night was that every time Ruuk spoke - the whole cinema would laugh out loud. If you're a fan of the manga; don't bother watching this movie.

what's the meaning of this show?
I watched this as part of the Brazilian film fest here in SG. This show had good rating on IMDb so the cinema was quite packed. The cinematography and transition was very avant-garde. But that's where the praise ends.
The show started off slowly and it only became slower. *spoilers* I didn't get most of the parts - the shooting of a dead man. - the killing of a young calf. - the asthmatic who used the oxygen mask for her genitals etc
What did these all mean? Perhaps this show is esoteric and I'm not arty to understand the show. But to give it a weighted average rating of 7.2 (as of Sept 2004) is ridiculous!
