"Léon è un killer, un sicario a pagamento della peggior species, unavailable and indestructible, until a mouse gets in his universe: a small mouse with huge eyes of twelve year old Matilda. Apart from J. Reno, for which the film was written to measure the small N. Portman is the revelation of the film. It's bizarre, perverse and honest love story of a twelve year old and a gunman. Love without sex. He, the adult child, instructs to kill, you, the adult child, teaches him to live. L. Besson is a way, but knows how to take his risks: his is an action film that does not mean, however, neither a vigorous attention to the psychology of the characters or the meticulous care. Considerable G. Oldman, D. Aiello. "(From MyMovies)
I loved few films such as Leon. This fable
underground sweet and ruthless summed up in two and a half hours a boundless universe of emotions, reflects the varied landscape and unfathomable human feelings, giving a fresco very realistic, cruel and tender at the same time.
The characters in this tragic love set in the slums of New York Leon, the ablest among the killers of the underworld, which kills any target are reported, and Mathilda, a twelve year old grew up in a shrewd and Peperina disturbing the family context, with a violent father and an uncaring mother. Léon is a type
dark, lonely, out of touch. His only companion is the plant that treatment with an exasperated love and the only work he can do is "cleaning". He has no interest for the money, has no ambition or hope, but paradoxically he is a man of sound principles, imposes himself of the rules that conflict with its role as a ruthless killer (never women or children ").
Mathilda instead is a wake-up girl, active, who wants to escape from the degrading and impersonal context in which he lives, wants to grow quickly, wants to respond to oppression which has always been a victim.
The destinies of the two will eventually intertwine, a pair become inseparable, their bond of contradictions can not fail lo spettatore, non può non coinvolgerlo. Lèon insegnerà a Mathilda la sua professione ma allo stesso tempo la piccola bimba lo istruirà sulla vita, gli schiuderà orizzonti mai nemmeno immaginati, lo farà uscire dal torpore in cui si era richiuso.
La loro storia d’amore è dolce, platonica ed impossibile ma non per questo meno vivace, frizzante, struggente.
Ma il film non si limita a questo. Non si scade mai nel melenso, a momenti di una tenerezza infinita si alternano scene d’azione dinamiche ed energiche.
I due non sono immersi in universo a sé stante, ma vivono nella squallida quotidianità di una realtà sporca e degradata com’è quella dei bassifondi metropolitan New York. The values \u200b\u200bhere are often reversed, as the parable of the protagonists can demonstrate: the killer here plays the role of the good, the police are corrupt who are the true, the manifestation of evil, they are the ones that personify the distorted values \u200b\u200bof the world 's Today: the psychotic, drugged, hallucinatory Stanfield he is an icon unforgettable master are all the points of view.
The final scene remains one of the most beautiful film (not seen those who had not read any further!) A lion who has overcome many difficulties, have fought against all police departments can imagine, has found a way to get away. Dressed as a cop is going to out of his apartment building, where he had barricaded himself. Now it's done, has a heart full of hope, sees the release, there is none. And suddenly the camera floods us with what he sees, we are catapulted into the film in first person, we Léon. The door, salvation, freedom, love, life, Mathilda, everything is there at your doorstep. And here's the door distorted, our vision is bobbing here and there, you can not achieve anything. We are on the ground, Leon did not come to terms with the cunning and ruthlessness of his opponent, waiting for him, who had guessed, that places a bullet in the head. But Leon is not it and so will those who have seen the movie knows that his departure from the scene is worthy of him.
few films I loved as Léon. And I'll never cease to love him.
