The teacher tells him not to sleep and that she’s leaving for a bit, which is a thing a teacher would definitely do. Light is asleep at a desk with an apple for no reason. That’s the end of that scene.Ī door with the word “Detention” written on it is zoomed in on. Light tries to flag her down, but Johnny Football comes and puts his arm around her, a character we never see again and doesn’t matter at all. The bell rings and here comes Mia Sutton, being all cool and shit with her cool friends. The camera hard pans to the right and everyone watching is confused. He then doesn’t give a fuck and hands him two weeks of detention. The principal exposition dumps about Light’s mother passing. You gotta see the big picture here,” says Light. “All I’m trying to say is, you have the chance to stop the type of people who make things hard for everybody. Light wonders why no one is concerned as to why he was found sprawled out on the ground. The principal, I guess, berates Light for cheating and shit. Light and Mia stand in the rain and are super cool and broody. He comes to as an adult, who isn’t at all worried about a student passed out in the rain at school, picks up the homework he’s been doing for other students and gives him a “you fucked now” look. He makes fun of Kenny for being held back in school, something about child abuse, and then he mercifully gets punched in the face.

Kenny pushes Mia to show he’s a strong male and won’t take any shit and Light decides now is a good time to yell at full volume, “HEY DON’T TOUCH HER!” and throw his arms out like he’s shielding her from violence. I wish I was kidding, but it only gets worse from here. Yes, those are first clearly heard lines of the film. Mia then pushes the bully, whose name is Kenny, and calls him a stupid fuck. It consists of “little bitch” and “whoopsie-daisy”, with the bully throwing away the poor nerd’s backpack and stealing his money. This is the first dialog we hear in the film. Light bolts around a corner just in time to see a bully push a fuckin’ LOSER NERD WITH GLASSES out of a door. Moments later, a big, cool, scary storm moves in! Ahhh watch out for that SpOoOoOoOkY rain! Mia just walks away because she has no fucks to give. No one has uttered a word and it’s already a 1 out of 10.
Death note rules are confusing movie#
Within two measly minutes, the writers of this train wreck, which is three goddamn people by the way, have sufficiently demonstrated that they have no clue what they’re doing, have no understanding of the manga or anime which the movie is based on, and clearly don’t give a single shit. Here we are at the beginning of Death Note. The title of the film then comes across the screen in a weird, edgy fashion, contrasting with everything we’ve just seen. Light looks confused, which will not be the first time his face contorts in baffling ways throughout this shitshow. What an ANTIHERO! Mia leans on the fence and gives him a flirty smile.
Another student comes up to him, takes the homework, and pays him money discreetly. Light Turner, the film’s protagonist I think, is doing homework nearby. She is then smoking a cigarette while cheering. When she’s lifted, she blows a strand of hair in disgust and boredom. One of the cheerleaders, Mia Sutton, isn’t really participating. This is followed by shots inside a school hallway with students, police arresting people, a train yard, and the first of far too many Dutch angles camera shots. The film opens with a sky shot of Seattle, complete with the Space Needle. This is also an annoying title that I now have to differentiate with a year and a “but the source material is better” phrasing. I present to you, scene by scene, Death Note. Let me take you on a journey of missed opportunities and a failed understanding of everything that made the original work so memorable. Going through multiple directors, including Shane Black and Gus Van Sant, and a plethora of script changes, the project seemed doomed from the very start. The Netflix Original Death Note film is now forever real and forever bad.
