Fun Fact: in Resident Evil 4, one of the guns that Leon can use in the game is called the Matilda, as a nod to Leon and Matilda from this movie.

Neither Leon or Matilda had anyone really, the genuine love they had for each other wasn't romantic. Matilda was young, traumatized, and confused. Leon's not taking advantage of her was his love for her. Almost paternal. Such great performances from each.

@mindcrome 4 ай бұрын

@@miguelkennedy3840 Not by much. Mind I really love this movie, but the added scenes take away from the story. As many have said, she is a confused child, but the left turn tone shift does not work. It slows down the movie and just does not work well. Because in the American cut you get that same feeling when Matilda just out of nowhere says that they are lovers to the desk clerk. And even then it never made allot of sense she would do that (attention?). Because to me (knowing people somewhat like Matida's parents, and kids like Matilda), she would have held on to the only good thing in her life tight, and would not jeopardize that.

Its on record that this Besson's own relationship with his (ex)wife was the inspiration for this. To quote wiki - 'Maïwenn met film director Luc Besson when she was 12 and he was 29, and they began dating when she was 15. In January 1993, at age 16, she gave birth to their daughter Shanna. On the DVD extras for the 1994 film Léon: The Professional, Maïwenn said the film is based on her relationship with Besson'. Film seems problematic without this, but *with*, its bananas.

He's an astounding actor, in the vein of Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Anthony Hopkins etc. A Hollywood A-Lister for sure. But he's not Daniel Day Lewis, or Marlon Brando or Meryl Streep. Just a very good actor, one of the best. Excellent in this movie.

"This is making me uncomfortable" Yeah, it's supposed to. It is written and directed with those moments in mind, they are designed to make you feel uneasy about the situation you are watching. The overall story is made to show you how trauma can impact people in different ways: They are both damaged people trying to deal with their past issues in very wrong ways. The wild part is that the movie actually toned it down from the novel it's based on. EDIT: And for reference, Mathilda is supposed to be 12...

This movie has two version: The Professional, and Leon The Professional. You watched Leon The Professional. The other one is the American release, which cuts out the montage of Matilda joining Leon on a bunch of assassinations, and also tones down some of her budding romance for him, as it rubbed test audiences the wrong way.

Mr. Besson is one of the most eclectic filmmakers ever. LEON (Interational Uncut version) and The Professional (U.S. Version) altogether, his first worldwide smash and an incredible piece of work. That 'anti-hero with a heart of gold and an sidekick" archetype. Often seen in Western or Samurai dramas. But in an crime drama like this, it still hits. Jean Reno as Leon is great. The debut of Natalie Portman as Matilhda is wonderful. Gary Oldman as Stansfield (one of so many villain roles) is unbelievable. The song at the end, Shape of My Heart by Sting is a great movie song. I definitely recommend La Femme Nikita (1990) or it's remake, Point of No Return (1993). Also from Besson, Lucy & 3 Days to Kill (2014) and ANNA (2019).
