Death Note Movie4/18/2021
Ironically, the original Misas hair colour has been stated to be naturally a very dark brown to black, but she bleaches it blonde as part of her image as a pop idol.Light Turner Advertisement: Death Note is an American film adaptation of the manga of the same name.Directed by Adam Wingard (who had previously worked on the VHS films), the film has been released exclusively on Netflix on August 25, 2017.
The cast includes: Nat Wolff as Light Turner Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton Lakeith Stanfield as L Paul Nakauchi as Watari Shea Whigham as James Turner Willem Dafoe as Ryuk Masi Oka as Detective Sasaki Chris Britton as Aaron Peltz Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2. Clip 1. A sequel is in development. Also absent is Rem, and given Mias death at the end of the film, shes unlikely to appear in possible sequels. Near and Mello also do not appear, though it is mentioned that there were other children trained to be master detectives by the same project that trained L, making it possible that they might appear in sequels. Adaptational Badass: Despite never receiving the Shinigami eyes, Mia is a far more ruthless, ambitious, and domineering character than Misa was, to the point where the bloodthirsty Ryuk favours her over Light. She eventually takes matters into her own hands when Light proves himself too weak, and demands that Light cede the Death Note to her in return for his life she having written his name in the note already. Advertisement: Adaptational Heroism: Light, interestingly enough. Unlike the original version of the character, this Light is unwilling to kill law enforcement officials pursuing him, and only decides to make an exception in Ls case when he is threatened by the latter. Most notably, he writes Wataris name in the Death Note to manipulate him into discovering Ls true identity, but does so with the intent of eventually sparing Wataris life by exploiting a loophole in the Death Note. He does end up killing Mia, but thats only after she tries to kill him. Then again, Word of God says that shes less of Misas counterpart and more a Distaff Counterpart of the original Light Yagami. Adaptational Nationality: The film shifts the storys setting from Japan to America ( Seattle, to be specific), and thus, every main human character except Watari is now American, with L being black and the rest of the main cast being white. Adaptational Villainy: In the original story, Ryuk is an impartial force of nature who gives away his Death Note purely to see what a human would do with it. He merely observes what Light does with the book and makes it plain that using it will have grave consequences. In this film, Ryuk is a malevolent, corrupting influence who encourages Light to use the Death Note for vengeance. Mia as well. Mia exceeds Light as Team Kiras Evil Genius, and like Ryuk is a dark influence on the considerably more apprehensive Light. Mia eventually tries to usurp Light as Kira on the grounds that hes too weak to do what must be done, which is something that Misa would never do. Adaptational Wimp: In the original story, Light is The Ace, a handsome, popular, athletic genius who has many female admirers and outstanding fighting skills. In this film, hes a smart but otherwise fairly average and anonymous teen. Adaptation Dye-Job: Originally an Evil Redhead in the manga, Light now has bleached blond hair.
