    » I recently watched Netflix's Death Note adaptation, officially released last Friday on the streaming site. Based on a famous Japanese manga series, the film revolves around a young man's twisted crusade for justice after having received a special notebook -- the titular death note -- that has the power to kill anyone whose name has been written in it, provided the writer knows their face. Fed up with the many injustices in the world, the young man -- named Light -- uses the note to kill bullies, criminals and even corrupt officials from around the world under the alter-ego Kira, earning a cult-like following from those who agree with his extreme brand of justice.

    » Director Oliver Stone likes to tell stories of larger-than-life characters. Or not just characters, but real people caught up in the swirl of American history, which is sometimes to say world history: John F. Kennedy in JFK (1991); Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991); Richard Nixon in Nixon (1995); Fidel Castro in Commandante (2003); Alexander the Great in Alexander (2005); and George W Bush in W (2008). The fuzzy line between glory and shame of American policy is also his favourite subject, such as in the Vietnam War-set Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Born On The Fourth Of July (1989) and World Trade Center (2006).

    » It's official: Donald Trump -- real-estate tycoon and producer of the American reality TV show The Apprentice -- will become the 45th president of the United States. Even over a week after the election results were announced, America is still in turmoil, with protests (and in some cases even riots) by people who disapprove of Trump and his disturbing campaign rhetoric breaking out all across the country. Along with news of these protests comes alarming reports of a spiked increase in racist and discriminatory crimes being committed, as Trump supporters of varying ages and genders come out to express their pent-up bigotry.

    A step towards literary freedom

    » Myanmar’s recent general election is a joyous moment for the people of the country, who have been ruled by a military dictatorship since the early 1960s. For poet and publicist Myay Hmone Lwin the election results, which look set to improve the situation through the victory of the National League for Democracy, paints a hopeful picture for his country’s future, hopefully a future free from rampant censorship and piracy, as well as a chance for Myanmar to make itself known on an international level.
