Interviews are silly, but Japanese movies are not

So I still can't figure out if the point of the interview process is to find out more about the applicant and their interests or to see if they can actually talk to people at some sort of basal level. If it is the former, why are there interviewers who seems stiff and uninterested in what you are saying, who look at their notes while you are talking, and who seem to want to hurry from question to question rather than asking you to elaborate further upon what you are saying? If it is the latter, why are there interviewers who focus in on specific content from your application, who listen well to what you have to say about it, asking questions to lead you in a specific direction?

Really, the second type of interviewer will get a more perceptive view of you than the first, who could perhaps intimidate you into not speaking as much as you should. Right now, I feel I had one very good interview and one rather bad one at the same school. I have no way of gauging what the overall reaction will be, and it's driving me crazy! But there's nothing I can do about it in the meantime, so I'm just going to try to enjoy myself as much as possible.

To that end, yesterday I watched the third movie based upon the manga Death Note, called "L Change the World." It immediately follows the story told in the first few Death Note movies; L has a month to stop the spread of an unbelievably devastating epidemic before he dies. This movie explores a different moral problem from the first two, but there is still the one side that believes in its moral superiority and believes it has the right to arbitrate who lives and who dies. The only difference is that L races about on bikes and hangs off of planes far more than he did in the first story.
