Death Note Characters-Light Yagami

Ehmm..Light Yagami(or Yagami Raito) is the protagonist characters.He is also known as Kira.I know there are a lot of differences between the live-action and the anime and manga.But I'm going to talk about it from the live-action view.He is a brilliant freshman university student who is taking law.He has a girlfriend who studies at the same university,Shiori Akino.Since his father is a police,he's been taught from small about justice.He's very upset with the injustice he saw around him,so when he found the Death Note he decided to use it to form a violent-free world or so he planned.However,when a numbers of criminals begun to die mysteriously,the Japan polices tried to investigate what was actually happening.The citizen was divided of whom is supporting Kira and those who were against him.Light became out of control as he begun to kill those who get in his way and try to stop him from killing the criminals.He even killed his own girlfriend with the Death Note.From the beginning of the movie,I don't actually like his character.Yes,his idea of creating a zero-crime world is good and all,but the method he used to achieve it is downright wrong for me.He shouldn't have use the Death Note to kill the criminal and it gets even worse when he started killing other innocent people like his own girlfriend and all the FBI detectives.He's trying to play God by controlling other people's death with the Death Note.However,getting deeper into the movie,I started to feel pity to him.Why?As much as I hate the fact that he killed so many people,for me Light himself is a victim.He is a victim of the Death Note.His intention to create a better world has made him into a heartless person.He is so confidence that he is doing the right thing that he even wrote his father's name in the Death Note.At the end of the series he is killed by the Death Note that he'd use all along.Before he died,he told his father that he is doing it just because he wanted justice.Probably some of you think Light is doing the right thing.But I don't.Although the use o Death Note has decreased the level of crime,it doesn't mean we have the right to play God by killing others at our own will.God is the one who gives us this life,so if anyone can take it back,it could only be Him and not other human being.Light may have a brilliant idea for justice,but his obsession of using Death Note has cause nothing but harmful to himself and others around him.It is such a waste that a genius like him end up that way.
