IвЂ™ll talk more about the scheme when I discuss his girlfriend in a bit. I was surprised at just how far he went, but the scheme showed how evil he was, and I really appreciate that the film got that right. This, in turn, works in building him up as the maniacal, cunning genius he was in the manga. LightвЂ™s plan to get on the Task Force вЂ“ once revealed вЂ“ shows him as heartless and uncaring toward others. However, things get complicated when Light kills the FBI agent tailing him in order to escape suspicion and the agentвЂ™s fiancГ©e witnesses his death.

This scheme is hinted at when Light asks his father if he can be involved in the Kira investigation early on in the film. Light from then on launches a scheme to find and eliminate the real L. deduces from this that Light cannot kill unless he has the name and face of the person he wishes to murder. has a death row inmate pose as him on television, Light kills him. allows us to see that LightвЂ™s pride and arrogance guides his actions as Kira. The introduction of the reclusive detective L. Tatsuya Fujiwara plays Light well, showing how he balances being Kira the killer while still maintaining a certain degree of likability when he is around his other family members and friends. Light is introduced as a law student who supports Kira publicly while actually being him behind closed doors. Light Yagami (played by Tatsuya Fujiwara) It lets the viewer know right away what the Death Note is and what it does, explaining the rise of Kira before we even get a glimpse at the main character behind him. The opening of the film is actually one of my favorite parts of it, with the audience being treated to Light writing names down in the Death Note and the resulting deaths of the criminals. Part I of the duology handles the introduction of Light Yagami as the cold-hearted killer Kira. embarrasses Light on live television by proving that he is unable to kill him, Light launches a scheme to get on the police task force to kill L. When the police get involved with trying to figure out who Kira is, Light finds himself in a struggle with the enigmatic detective L. The film introduces the string of heart attack deaths targeting criminals as the mysterious godlike persona known as Kira. Part I opens with Light Yagami writing names in the Death Note and the resulting demises. But it isВ the story of Death NoteВ and I found myself excited as I went along for the ride. Part I of this duology is engaging, intense, dark, and I loved a lot about how it handled the story of Death Note. The CGI used for the death gods isnвЂ™t great and the special effects need work but вЂ“ despite all that вЂ“ I found myself caught up in the story of Death NoteВ all over again. At least it triesВ to capture the spirit of the original source. I saw the 2017 Netflix live action film and вЂ“ unlike that disaster of a film вЂ“ this story is faithful (for the most part) to the manga.
