Death Note 2017 Release Date
????????Death Note Film Opinion???????? * With the film coming out Friday, I’ve been thinking a lot lately on people’s reasonings for not wanting to watch the death Note Netflix film. I think people’s reasons, such as whitewashing and it not being completely accurate, are understandable and legitime, but we have to take in consideration that this film is taking place not only in a different setting (Seattle) but in a different time. Depending on how you feel, that could be a whole other issue in order, but Plus, if you take a better look at the casting list, it isn’t completely whitewashed. L is being played by an African American and Watari is being played by someone of Asian descent. And that’s awesome! And here is why; Casting a black L shows how much of a diverse place that the United States really is. With everything that is going on in the United States between white supremacists and racism, I think it really makes a statement. I admit to not being happy at first with this film being made, but the more I think about it, I think fellow Death Note fans should really try and look at this with an open mind and be excited for a new perspective on the story. So I’m gonna suck up my pride in being annoyed we don’t have an Asian Light, L and Misa (and no Rem, Mello, Near…????) and get excited for this film, and I hope others can get excited to. Just think about how awesome Ryuk will be!!! * Also, please feel free to discuss with my your opinions as well. I love talking to you guys and I think it’s important for you all to feel able to express your likes and dislikes as well. ❤️❤️ ~#~ #deathnote #llawliet #lightyagami #ryuk #deathnotenetflix #natwolff #keithstanfield
