IN THE GRIP OF A THIRST TO KILL... BUT FOR GOOD?

Review of Death Note

Continuing my immersion in the world of anime, my choice to watch "death Note" was not accidental. I was recommended to watch it by many friends, and fan reviews made it clear that this is exactly what you should start your acquaintance with anime culture. It is not superfluous to add that according to a survey conducted in 2007 by the Ministry of culture of Japan, "Death Note" is ranked 10th among the best manga of all time. I dare say that after watching this extraordinary story, the plot of which I have not met before either in literature or in movies, my idea of the harmony of good and evil, as well as such a slippery concept as "justice", was greatly transformed.

I especially want to emphasize the total unpredictability throughout the series, the exciting atmosphere, as well as, worthy of a separate analysis, the characters and reasons for certain actions of the main characters. Yagami light is not an ordinary schoolboy, in my opinion, and the further events develop, the more difficult it becomes to understand the motives of his actions. The coolness with which he sentences to death the people who fight him gradually negates the primary understanding of his naive views and ways to solve how to make the world a better place by taking the lives of avid criminals. The situation is completely different with the main opponent of light. "L", also known to us as ryuzaki, becomes much clearer and closer to me as the story progresses, and his attitude towards Light sometimes resembles that of a wise and kind doctor who actually feels compassion for the owner of the Notebook, rather than hatred. It is also interesting to follow the thoughts of the characters - in this anime, this part of the way the characters are revealed evokes the greatest response from me as a viewer.

I can't wait to write about the music, which is so different and always emotionally and harmoniously reflects the mood and emotions on the screen. I'm probably not the only one who, after watching "Death note", found a few favorite tracks on the web, listening to which, by chance, you catch a stream of thoughts remote from the everyday bustle and think again and again about the eternal dispute about good and evil. After all, someone believes that good and evil are two irreconcilable sides, and you just have to decide which side to stand for in this life. Another opinion, which I share more, tells us that good and evil are two inseparable components of the nature of everything that surrounds us. But since I am an optimist, I will add a curious fact to this observation: the shadow, as we know, is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good. But at the same time, light can exist without a shadow, but a shadow without the presence of light is impossible. And in fact, everything in this life is relative. After all, the undoubtedly brilliant light was not an evil person, not at all. It would be more applicable to include such vices and traits as pride and anger, naivety and the notorious youthful maximalism. And here you can't help but ask yourself, what would I do if I got my hands on that very Notebook? Would I be her hostage, like light? Thoughts about this evokes the same composition Hideki Taniuchi — "L no Theme". It is this exciting motif (among many no less significant in this anime) that has become the most heartfelt for me…

"Death note" - anime, which is quite unfair to attach only to one genre of detective, looks in one breath just because of the amazing mix of narrative forms. The plot develops with you, and not always, sitting at the screen, away from the tense and restless human battles, you can confidently give your personal assessment of the decisions and actions of the main characters. Everything is so controversial that even the concept of "justice" ceases to be a significant criterion; for what is justice, which is different for each person, unlike the justice of other people? Light fancied himself a God, completely forgetting that God is not justice, but something else entirely!.. But the lover is not guided by justice, for as long as there is love, no one thinks about justice. It is no accident that the words so often occur in the centuries-old Epistles of the saints: "Never call God just, or ask him for justice."

I advise "Death note" to view all who are interested in serious, filled with deep meaning, not entertaining anime.
