I also think Mathilda is confusing romantic love with parental love, because she never got that from her Father. Leon’s caring for her like a daughter, so she thinks she’s IN love with him, rather than just the love a daughter has for her Dad.
I have watched this movie several times and find the way the relationship between Leon and Matilda develops very moving. It skates along the edge of being uncomfortable, without ever becoming so. The fact that Natalie was so young when this film was made is mind-boggling. It was quite simply the best acting I have ever seen. I have always been a fan of Jean Reno, and this ranks as his best film in my oipinion.
have you ever seen Man On Fire with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning? It also develops a very special relationship between an older man and a very very young girl, without the uncomfortableness. Dakota Fanning was even younger than Natalie when she filmed Man On Fire, extremely impressive acting from Dakota. It's one of my favorite films directed by Tony Scott, the Rotten Tomatoes score for it is not to be trusted.
@@janetuss6496 Never seen the film, or heard of Ms Fanning, but admire Denzel W enormously, a marvelous actor. Thanks for the tip, I’ll certainly look for the film. Leon was a marvelous film, and I am also a great admirer of Jean R.
@@billfromgermany no WAY 😲 I'm sure you know of Dakota Fanning if you see her face, maybe you just don't recognize her name. Dakota is like Natalie, they were both famous for great childhood acting. One year after Man On Fire came out, Dakota was in War Of The Worlds with Tom Cruise (directed by Steven Spielberg), she played a major role as Tom Cruise's daughter. When she was 7, she was in the film I Am Sam, starring with Sean Penn. She was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role, and Sean Penn was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role. I think more recently Dakota was in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And yes, really hope you check out Man On Fire! Denzel is excellent, I think he's marvelous too. And don't know if you know, but the director Tony Scott is the brother of Ridley Scott (who directed Gladiator, Blade Runner, Alien, etc.). Tony Scott liked to work with Denzel a lot, they did Man On Fire, Crimson Tide and many other films together.
Stern and protective. Exactly how a father is supposed to be... Unfortunately she never received that from her biological father so she ended up mistaking it for romantic love.
When I watched this movie years ago...I thought this was a great and one of the best movies of all time. But I never heard people mentioning this movie even when they were talking about a similar genre. Glad to see everyone appreciating this masterpiece.
there is one tiny little flaw though, the scene where Léon screams to the ceiling near the end and the camera zooms in on his face "like a weirdo" haha
Luc Besson's best movie and one of the best movies in the movie history. İ love the acting of all aactors.İ love Jean Reno and Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman.
It’s an interesting scene as there is an odd power dynamic. By accepting everything he says she implies that she’s his girl, pushing him towards the relationship she desires with him.
I am glad there are still movies like this of yesteryear. A lot of todays movies except for a few have no real storytelling of things that happen. The movies of today many are fantasy crap and could never be anywhere near a realistic world. I'm glad for the older movies they have heart, realism, and Hope. Yes they have sorrow as well. Gotta pull on those heartstrings. Loved that movie The Professional. Fell totally for the whole movie. AND of course I believe We All hated the bad guys.
The awkward dialog in places lets it down in my opinion, also some things feel rushed and just out of place like him letting her kill with him after very little persuasion. It's a good movie with some great acting, but definitely not the best.
In that case I'll leave my comment as it is for the future to know that there were no dislikes for 11 straight yrs. Btw hate those dislikers. They broke a great record...
Some of you might be thinking: why is this movie as powerful as the first day and ageless ? Because that's the difference between a legend and a myth. A legend is a past story, a myth is a story that keeps happening all the time. The "thing" happening between Mathilda and Leon has been happening countless times between father and daughter since then, and keeps happening today, that's why any new mind who watches the movie today will be remembering those archaic feelings, will be remembering that he or she was , one day, Leon and Mathilda.
Can you imagine Matilda and little John Connor together as a team? Though I think Matilda's more street tough than Connor (though he already knows how to load weapons and use them in contrast to Matilda who seems to learn quickly within this movie).
According to a Natalie Portman's interview, this movie left the public sexualizing her at that young age, her first fan mail from that movie was awful, a "fan" would explain what he will do to her in a sexual way. Hence why a movie like that would never be made again. This exposes our cruel-some face in sexualizing a 12 year old, for what was meant to be a father-daughter relationship.
i just cant stop watching this movie,leon and mathilda they both could really act,and stanfield is are real mad man,they were in are hallway,and old woman came out saying what is going on here,ah man say its the DEA go back inside,and he gone in ah next room,stanfield was loading up ah gun,and the old lady say,why dont you leave these poor people alone,stansfield buss ah shot at ah glass partition right behind her,and said he told you to go back inside,she just look were he shoot,and she was normal,i like her she has guts....
'stay away from him he looks like a weirdo' LMAO
💀💀😂
Ok
He's being protective and jealous.... xD
Hes a real father lol
@@skonafid Father??? Lol
i just love how he said "good"
GUHD
@@giontesla2311 accurate
in this scene, Leon's act is so fatherly
But he's not her father, he's her lover.

@@sillynelson1 They just love each other, in a pure way, but there is love in this movie.

Her performance with Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects and Al Pacino in The Godfather movies are my all top favs.
It slightly skips the line over to uncomfortable in a couple of scenes to me but it rides the line so well that it's incredibly compelling

I think the relationship she desires is for him to be a like the family she never rly had
Yes my thoughts exactly
Her submissive responses and facial expressions say it all
Bruh exactly, like that's the vibe I got lmao.
