Death Note

Cheers! Its been raining cats and dogs here at the Philippines (). Naturally, we will have nothing to do, but just to sit and disappointedly watch those little drops from heaven pour into the ground. I together with my co-officer of our department agreed and come up to the idea of watching a movie, a minute later, our president is holding it. On the "pirated" version cover it reads "DEATH NOTE". Pretty creepy huh!, Honestly, Ive already heard of this movie but i always fail to watch it, maybe because I was just too busy with my studies ( is that true? ), and somehow, there are a lot of more exciting things to do than to just sit down on your couch and watch until you get sleepy. (playing dota, reading, etc... ). Here is a short view of the story. ( you should watch this... trust me!).

The series is about Light Yagami, an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgement on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.
Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" ( "Kira"? derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins.

Written rules
Before dropping the Death Note in the human world, Ryuk wrote five of the most basic rules on the Note's inside front cover. He chose to write the rules in English because he believed it to be the most popular human language. Those rules are as follows:

The human whose name is written in this note shall die. (now thats scary... )

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name.

Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.

After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
In addition to these basic rules, many manga chapters have a title page, and many anime episodes have two eyecatches, containing several rules written in both English and Japanese. These rules often serve to clarify the more esoteric uses of the Death Note that the characters discover on their own, and usually pertain to the chapter or episode that they accompany. Official Death Notes contain over 40 pages listing these rules.

I really love the storyline of the movie, especially the character portrayed by L Lawliet as the a wierd semi- psychotic, guy who only loves to eat, and of course the walking nemesis of the person who ows the death note, "light".

you can watch the movie at youtube on this link "death note". There you can find the other links of the movie.
