Forgot to post about this movie that we watched yesterday.
A unique show, as it is with Japanese movies which always have quite interesting themes.
A quick synopsis. Death God drops a notebook on Earth. Boy picks it up. Whoever's name is written in the notebook dies eventually. Boy used it to do justice by killing off the bad guys. Police looking for person who's killing without being seen. Another young boy joins the hunt for the killer.
Well, at first he does use it to kill off the bad guys but in the end, he used it to kill the good guys as well. It's just like the question of playing God: Who gets to decide who should live or die? What's evil or good? In the end he turned out to be the ultimate evil because to shake off the police's trail he ended up killing the girl who loves him. What kind of perfect world is being created? By who's standards?
There's no such thing as a perfect world. Accept it. The bad will always exist among the good. I guess it's just the balance of nature afterall.
