Let me talk about my understanding of the comic death note first.
The vast majority of comics are plots for the plot, and suspense for the suspense. In fact, the comic book Death Note is the same. I don't deny that this is a good-looking comic, but good-looking does not mean it is true.
Let's say that the protagonist Ye Shenyue, a top student, has a very good family environment and school environment, and accepts all kinds of good education, including family education and school education. Mother and sister are kind people, and father is particularly upright. The protagonist lives a two-point and one-line life at school and at home. There are no too many social activities, no atmosphere of smoky friends. How did a good student and a good son like this turn into a big villain in an instant? Without any psychological struggle, the process of struggle between humanity and belief, it is said that change immediately becomes a murderous demon. So, this is a plot need, not a change in human nature.
Furthermore, the environment of the last natural section has been explained clearly and will not be repeated. How did a person like this learn to be so dark-bellied, so easy to lie, and possess such a deep city? He has not been in direct contact with society. Don't say that because Dad is a policeman, he has been in contact with many criminals or has seen many cases. When Yue entered the police station, he didn't even enter the gate, didn't he? In other words, Yue should be ignorant of the situation of Dad's police handling the case. Even if he has seen many cases through his father’s computer, it is absolutely impossible for him to become such a black-bellied person with a city government and deceive the master in a short period of time. If reading and learning can be done, why bother to experiment? room? Still need to practice? Haven't all the highly educated people become Einsteins? Therefore, the comics are designed for the advancement of the plot, which is not in line with the transformation of human nature.
The reason why I gave the American version of the movie Death Note 4 stars is because this movie has no reproducibility to the original work. But it is very in line with the transformation of human nature, and the characterization of the protagonist's psychological struggle is in place. It is closer to human nature and more in line with life than the original work.
I think the reason why the score of this movie is so low is that the restoration of the original is very low, and all the characters in it have a 180° change compared to the original. I believe that many of my friends watched this movie for the original. It can be said that it is a kind of sentiment, but this movie does not express the feelings of Death Note at all. Whether we read short reviews or watch film reviews, most of them complain about the comparison between the movie and the original.
I think we only pay attention to the rules of death note. If you just watch the movie aside from the original book, 6 points will still be used, right? Just for the reversal of the final plot, I want to score 6.5 or 7 points.
Some points
about this movie that I am not satisfied with: 1. About the portrayal of L. L is different from the protagonist. Whether it is created in the comics or in the background of L, L is a very personalized character. Unlike the protagonist, L has been in contact with training since he was a child and has handled a large number of big and important cases. Therefore, I accept the characterization and shaping of L in comics, and in the original comics, I believe that many people like the image of L. In the movie, except for squatting on a stool, L is no different from an ordinary person. . In other words, I am very dissatisfied with the characterization of L in the movie version;
2. Regarding the ending. I think through the betrayal of his girlfriend and a series of plots, the humanity of the protagonist can already be tilted from the city to the evil direction. But the protagonist lying on the hospital bed still feels as adorable as ever.
I don’t know if there will be a 2 in the US version. If there is a 2, I hope that the end of 1 will be explained again. Let everyone who know the death note die, even including the L in 1, and let the transformed protagonist and Nia start a new round of duel in 2.
