L -Change the World

Caught the movie on the 2nd day after it premiered on 21 feb at The Cathay in Dhoby Ghaut. First time watching a movie there, surmore it's at The Grand Cathay (big x3 theatre), with Ida who loves to watch movies there for a special reason haha.. (she knows it.. neednt to mention it here) As for me, any Cathay cinemas will do, cos they're offering $6 tickets to students for screenings before 6pm on Mon-Fri.

Didnt realise the theatre's gotta be very big, so we chose 2 seats at the back, when we entered the theatre, we realised the screen's too small for our viewing pleasure. On seeing that the theatre's pretty empty though we were already late, we shifted seats (not once, but twice..lol) to the first row of the 2nd segment of the theatre. I doubt the tickets in the first segment will be sold on ordinary days. First row's so cool, super-duper big extra leg room like business class airplane seats^^

L's so CUTE! Kawaii ne!

His eccentric movements & style never fail to draw laughter from the audience. Squat instead of sit on chairs and whatever there is available for him to squat on.. once, he squatted precariously on some tiny, slippery looking structure by a river. Ida was then wondering whether L will slip and fall into the river.
The way he types is also very funny, using 2 fingers and have big movements of punching the keys. I wonder how can he type so fast that way, but he's L afterall, he's the only one who can do that.
The way he eats is also very funny & both of us imitated the way he pick up food with 2 fingers right away as we munched on Twisties & Caramel Corn. The way he runs (hunchback style) is also quite funny, i wonder how can he run fast that way. But he's L afterall, he's the only one who can do that i guess.


*caution: spoilers ahead*
One scene where L tried to straighten his back as he was being egged in by the young girl to do so, his bones crackled as he tried to straighten and took a few awkward steps forward, so needless to say, he gave up & reverted to his hunchback after those few steps.
At the same location, where L and the 2 kids had a picnic at the rooftop of a scientist/researcher's lab, the young kids told L it's unhealthy to consume all those sweet stuff and after overcoming initial surprise, L explained that sweet foods give him a source of energy.. blahblah.. helps in stimulating brain activity.. [the next day, Ida gave it as an excuse to her Mum for her unhealthy habit of favouring sweetened drinks over plain water]
The creative part about the picnic was, he used a test tube holder to put Pocky biscuit sticks and put a beaker over wire gauze on a tripod stand to heat up hot chocolate. L dipped every single piece of sweet goodies into the chocolate dip before eating. Wow! Damn sweet loh! haha.. now i discovered the alternative usage to those lab equipment^^

In the first two Deathnote movies, L's always working behind the scenes in a highly secretive room. In this movie, he's forced out of his confort zone as the bad guys stormed his place & locked him out of his information system.
His escape route from his place was so typical of him --a hot pink 'Angel Crepes' truck (ice cream truck) which is no ordinary truck.. it's modified and equipped with computer and all those high-tech stuff that enabled him to delete the data in his 'office' before the baddies can lay their hands on it. As the pink truck stopped in the middle of a busy street, a horde of schoolgirls swarmed towards the truck.. it's so funny as they thought they could buy ice cream.
L became an action hero in this movie... Leaped from an aerobridge onto the opened door of a plane as the aerobridge collapsed and clung on to the edge of the door for his dear life. Slowly he clamoured his way up the plane and became the hero who saved the world by bringing dosages of antidotes to a lethal contagious virus that would infected the whole world. That's how he CHANGED THE WORLD.


Super nice movie... Simply because i'm a fan of L. Call me biased or whatsoever.
I still love L.. it's a pity he died after 23 days (the movie had this countdown of how many days he had left... which is kinda sad.. but L lived life to the fullest and helped to CHANGE THE WORLD before his death)
Pale skin and dark eyeliner rocks!!!!!!!
