I wanna thank Richard and Bernar, they told me about this anime and helped me with some researches.
Please! Read This Before or After Watching
I know this is not news for some people, but that's what my AMV is about...
So this is the ReadMe:
This is what I tried to focus in the AMV:
First of all... I want you to think that "God" is the morals and the ethics of society.
I don't want you to think that God doesn't exists.
I'm just sayin that you'll need to have this point of view before understanding!
Imagine "God" as what humanity consider as right and wrong, the morals.
God="What you consider right and wrong."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Genesis (The begining) 00:00 ~ 00:57
This part of the AMV shows some paintings, as you can see.
The first is The Creation of Man by Michelangelo
A similiar image is shown in the First Opening of Death Note
where Light is the man and Ryuuku is God.
Ryuuku is giving him an apple (or the Death Note).
Now imagine as he's giving new possiblities to a human,
that's what happened in Genesis (Holy Bible).
He's giving him a chance to be the new God,
and as God is the morals and ethics, he could create a New World.
A world based in what he considered as being right and wrong.
The second, (I don't know the name of this painting, if you know tell me!)
Well, that's when the snake (devil), persuade the man and woman
and make them eat the Fruit of Knowledge. The fruit prohibited for them to eat.
In Death Note, Ryuuku "forgets" the note in the human world, so humans could have
the tentation to use it. This is what happens to Light, he picks the note and say
"Ah... what a waste of time.", but then he comes back and take it. That's the
tentation that the humas created by God had in mind when they ate the apple.
Anyone if saw that, would be curious to know if the power of the note was true!
Me, you, anyone... it's human to have PRIDE. So when a chance to be better than
everyone you know appears, you won't let it pass.
The third painting is the first "part" of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hyeronimus Bosch
This paint shows God condemning his/her creations, for eating the apple and getting knowledge
about what is good and evil. God says: "I won't let you here in Heaven, so you won't eat the fruit of
'Eternal Life'..." (Holy Bible).
It was fear God had that his own creations would take his place, he took them out from heaven so
they wouldn't turn into perfect beings. It was punishment for the pride they had acquired.
The second part of the same part of the painting show some animals eating other animals, it was
the sins who reached heaven because of the devil. (Well, I guess it's that but Im not sure XD)
The fourth painting is the second "part" of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hyeronimus Bosch
This part shows the place we live, Earth. It's showing our sins, what we do with our "knowledge".
In the first episode of Death Note, shows Light thinking about our world and how it's imperfect.
Then it goes to an apple, the origin of our sins.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Genesis 2 (The Death Note) 00:58 ~ 01:25
This part of the AMV I tried to show Ligh getting the Death Note, the tentations make him
want to test the book. And he does!
In this part I also tried to show Light in the Shinigami world.
As Ryuuku said, who uses the Death Note won't go to Heaven or Hell... So there was just one place
that he could be after his death. Ligh turns into one of them, that's his punishment.
Yeah... it kind of begins with the end... but whatever. XD
But mainly because of the lyrics of the song:
"Steal a soul for a second chance, but you will never become a man"
Shinigamis had their life extended by stealing souls from people, in the case killing
people for extending their lives.
"My chosen torture makes me stronger, in a life that craves the hunger"
"Freedom and a quest for life, until the end, the judgement night"
At the end of this part it shows Light eating the apple, he used the Death Note.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Light loses his inocence (He bites the apple lol) 01:25 ~ 01:38
This part shows him, discovering that the note really works.
Ryuuku appears in this part, and explain to him the power he had in hands.
Light sees it and get interested, as he could use it without being arrested.
He would be the new God, creating new morals and ethics.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Light uses the power 01:38 ~ 01:51
He uses the note, and start killing all the criminals he judged as evil.
That probably refers to discontrolled Death Penalty that he believed it would work in his new society.
That would cause fear in population, creating peaceful society. But it's a "fake peace" as it's based
in fear. That reminds "The Prince" by Maquiavel, he says that a prince should cause fear in population,
because humans are naturally nasty.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Pride makes Light more and more ambicious 01:51 ~ 02:04
"Bless me with your gift of light, righteous cause in judgement nights."
"Feel the sorrow the light has swallowed, feel the freedom like no tomorrow."
There are two subliminal messages in this part:
One is "Lucifer"
The other is "Freedom to Kill"
Lucifer - He was an angel that was corrupted by his own perfection, and tried to reach God.
Light is smart, beautiful guy, considered a "perfect" being in our society.
Would it make sense? Even if the meaning o the name Lucifer is (The one who came from the Light)?
Pride corrputs people! It corrputed an angel...
Freedom to kill - That's the main thing that Light had with the note. Freedom! Our freedom is always
limited by something, it's something that exists and does not exists. He had freedom now, to kill
everyone without being punished by God (morals and ethics of a society).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
"Kira" overuses his power 02:05 ~ 02:16
He kills so much people, that the police see that it's someone who is doing that.
They start investigating... L appears in the end of this part.
He's the main protector of morals and society in the anime, as he's a detective.
Yeah... he's the main protector of x! x=morals and society... HAHA I bet u didn't expect that. :B
He's also known by "Kira" now... but I don't show that in the AMV XD
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shit happens 02:16 ~ 02:42
"Stepping forth the cure for souls demise, reap the tears of the victim's cries."
It means that all the people who started "worshiping" him as Kira, (people who also believed in his morals)
wanted more. He was now getting more and more closer to be God.
In this part there's a painting (in the anime), of God turning into a skull,
showing that God wouldn't do that, it was a mind of some crazy student.
"Yearning more to hear the suffer, of a demon as I put it under"
"Killed before, a time to kill them all, passed down the righteous law"
Light starts killing people, but choosing a particular hour for their death. Making him more untouchable.
"Serve a justice that dwells in me, lifeless corpse as far as the eye can see"
Light: "Serve a justice that dwells in me! I will kill anyone who is against my rules."
"Lifeless corpse as far as the eye can see"
I don't know if it makes sense, but I tried to show that the man he killed for being against him,
was part of a plan of L to capture him. And Light falls into the trap.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
You're always being watched by God 02:43 ~ 03:08
"The eye can see"
I know this is the continuation of the sentence "Lifless corpse as far as the eye can see."
But I tried to make it different, I know it's a literal use of the lyrics and stuff, but whatever hahah XD
Ok, this part I tried to show how Kira was now being watched by L. He was the main suspect now!
The rules of society will see what you did, it's followers won't forgive you.
There's a subliminal message, which is Eye that sees everything (The eye of God), with Jesus behind it!
Yeah... maybe L is Jesus? LOLOL :BBBB
At the end of this part, Light locks himself in his room. And then, he started laughing as he had
the solution for that! (And he had)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
What is Light planning?! 03:09 ~ 03:33
At the begining of this part, imagine that Light is in an elevator going to L's apartment.
"Bless me with the, leaf off of the tree."
Now imagine that the leaf off of the tree, is a person who does not belong into a society.
In the case, Light is this guy, as he doesn't accept the actual society morals and ethics.
"On it I see, the freedom reign"
Light was the one who would bring "freedom".
A freedom in which he considered as freedom, his freedom to control society.
After this part, I put the lyrics by side... And focused in the story of the AMV.
Light surrenders to L. L gets suspicious about this. What is he planning?
What L didn't know is that Kira could pass his power to other people.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
The new Kira, bad news for L 03:34 ~ 03:58
Ryuuku, as Light ordered, gave the Death Note to Mikami, who was one of the people who
used to see Kira as God!
Mikami used to protect others from bullying when his was younger. One day an accident envolving his mother
had the "bulliers" (XD) dead. As that happened, he saw his school enviroment got really better. He was
sad about his mom, but he was happy about what happened. He grew up believing that death was the solution
for all problems... Death penalty for people!
Yea... He continues Light's goal! He turns into Kira, killing more people.
"Crown me with a pure green leaf."
It may mean that Mikami was blessed with Kira's power, he was crowned as the new God now.
That makes L confused, Light was arrested... how could it be?!
Anyway... He still knew about everything, about a traitor in the middle of the police that was helping him
to solve the Kira case (in the anime, Light is also helping L to solve the case).
Like Jesus and his disciples, there was Judas.
Light is free now, L is confused about everything. After the scene in the rain, they go to the inside and...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jesus 03:58 ~ 04:23
...HE CLEANS LIGHT'S FEET. In the story of Jesus in the Holy Bible, in the Last Supper,
Jesus washes his disciples feet. After that, Jesus says that he will be betrayed.
He would die. L says the same thing to Light after cleaning his feet.
And it happens. As in my AMVs story there was not Misa, and her Shinigami, I decided that Mikami would kill L
by seing his name... It doesn't happen in the anime but it kind of makes sense... I guess.
Anyway, as L die. A part of Light feels sorry, exactly like Judas.
But, there's just one thing that is missing after L's (Jesus) death, which is...
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ressurection
After L is dead in the anime, Near and Mello take his place. They are the new protectors of God(morals and ethics).
They really are, a ressurection of L. Anyway, in my AMV I used just Near to represent that.
Near calls L, which is Light pretending to be him.
They make plans, and then they meet each other. Light has a plan, he is with Mikami, that will write the names of
Near and his policemen in the Death Note. But the fail, as Near is owning the real Death Note at that moment.
Light try his last resource, but he takes shots of a policeman. The shinigami gets his Death Note and write
Light's name in it, finishing a cicle. Light was killed by his own pride at the end.

No! OMG! XDcascao_123 wrote:Nice effects... but why the readme?

The ReadMe has a lot of information and stuff... But it's not so difficult to read it! =/
The main thing is not the AMV! So you should read it! XD
And thanks!

They are reflections, it's ok if you don't agree! Actually that's good, you're showing your opinion on the subject!
And that was the main purpose! (:
Thank you! The second part was made a little "off" the lyrics! I tried to focus on the story! But I'm really glad you liked it! XDDibabrak wrote:You did a pretty nice job... I especially liked how you created that darky psycho atmosphere... I really enjoyed it but for some reason the second half was kinda worse than the first..
