The Sour Milk learnt how to hold a pair of chopsticks properly in class today, it's quite interesting to see her twiddling two pens and grumbling all the time about how tough it is...hahaha!

And after school, we went shopping... and of course, we catch a movie (actually, that's the whole point of going out in the first place).

Therefore, I will now solemnly decalre that I have watched the movie: Death Note.

And warning: spoilers ahead.

I couldn't exactly talk abot the movie with amusement nor humour, becuase it is too... I don't know, cold? Especially how the male leading role, Raito manipulate his victims and killing them off...it's kind of cruel, and he said he is doing it in the name of justice... I don't know, it's rather ridiculous...

True, the law is not perfect, most of the times the criminals get away scot-free, but still, he shouldn't take law into his own hands and just kill them off! What happens if there's more than it meets the eye, what happens if the criminal is doing all these crimes out of some reason? I'm aware about the fact that I might be too naive to think like that, because the newspaper reports news about some kind of heinous crime every single day. Evidence shows that the rate of crimes commited everyday is not dropping, it is rising, and yet, I still insist that these criminals have some unspoken bitterness?

If I look from Raito Yagami's point of view, I will think that killing criminal is the right thing. Imagine, you hacked into the national security system, you manage to get hold of the criminal's records, yet, you found out that many excape unschthed from the long arms of justice. Why? You will ask. The law that you believe in is not as perfect as you think, why don't you just punish the criminal yourself?

But I do believe that what goes round will come back. Even if there's no such thing such as God, there will still be something known as the conscious. The criminal rejoice over their victory, laughing in the face of law, but what will happen in the future? What will happen like 40 to 50 years down the road? What will the aged criminal think about the offences that they have commited when they are young? As you near the end of your life, will you fear what will happen as you pass on? Will your conscious whisper in your ears: that you are going to hell? Human's greatest weapon/advantage is thier intelligence, their imagination, but these will turn upon human too...

The scientific way of looking at life is your mind will stop functioning and your heart will stop beating, you enter an eternal sleep and your body got decomposed by those microorganisms to return the nutrients to the soil. But what will the human mind think? Our imagination is so fantastic that we think there will be such a place called hell and heaven, we imagine that there is the death god, crimminals commit crime only to fear of what lays beyond the unknown...

But what happens if the crimes those criminals do are also in the name of god? What if the murderer of a certain person did so to avenge someone he loved? Than is it right that Raito Yagami kill him?

At the end of the show, Raito got desperate 'cause the police are hot on his heels, and he killed whoever that stood in his way... I must say, he is immune to all the killings he done. A mind so brilliant, yet so twisted... Even the death god has more feelings than him... the killer...

This is not exactly a extremely good movie (there are parts which are boring), and although it is fantasy, it shows reality in full splendour, everything heartless and dirty. It reminds me of the Chinese classic 'Liao Zai', whereby evil beings are depicted as all the ghost and demons. What about Death Note? Is the whole thing about the heartless society shown in this movie? Is it a story that shows the darkest side of human beings?

Yes, I must say, it is not the best movie I've seen, but it is the one which provokes me the most...
