And that's why our points of veiw differ, the story leaves enough space so that you can interpret it differently. Unlike someone like a Griffith for example.
You consider it a story about the corruption of power, to me it's a story about ambition and conquest. Some problems can be only solved through enforcing your will and sacrificing innocents. That's why I said it's the tragedy of Light Yagami, I veiw it like a greek classic about a hubris king or something like that.
Yes the shot composition is absolutely evil, but I consider it just dramatization and making things a bit gothic and horror. Cause, you know, Death Note.
And the fact that Death Note is based on our world, but a little bit more dark and twisted is yet another reason why defending light ia easy.
I mean. I would love some change to the status quo of the world.
