"Please Open The Door" | Léon: The Professional (Jean Reno, Natalie Portman)

When Mathilda returns with the groceries she was sent to buy and notices the carnage, she calmly continues down the hallway past the open door of her family's apartment, and receives sanctuary from a reluctant Léon. One of the agents looks at Mathilda, quizzingly, as she has to insistently ring the bell on and on before Léon lets her in… | Buy or rent Léon: The Professional here: amzo.in/movie/...
Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.

There is a banned version (in the UK) which casts an additional light to the movie and explains some otherwise jarring elements in the film. I have an import copy. Think about Kubrick's "Lollita" if you want a context as to the full storyline of Leon. I believe it's the reason that Leon has to die at the end, he's not an anti-hero, this film is about the clash between two deeply evil criminals.

It wasn't underrated at all. When it was new, it got A LOT of attention and put Natalie Portman on the map.

[@antoinemozart243]

@@fp5495 who cares ?

[@Techridr]

Well, 95% Rotten Tomatoes audience score is now what I'd call underrated. This has been highly regarded since day one. One of my favorite movies.

[@slashtopher2193]

This is still my favorite Natalie Portman movie.

[@proy14]

I saw that in theater at the time, and I was wishing so hard that this girl get gets an amazing career. So much intensity at such a young age. Let's just say she didn't fare too badly.

She's not your fave actress, she's your 'lover'.

[@michaelwhisenant8796]

One of the top sleeper movies ever. I watched it without knowing a thing about it - a true classic. "this is from Matilda..."

Nah, she's wearing her harmlessness and old age as a vest there, she knows what's up.

First time watching...Natalie Portman is so great in this film! Second time...Jean Reno is so great in this film! Third...Gary Oldman is so great in this film! Fourth...Everyone is great in this film! 😃 I think among the best films made in the last thirty years.

[@Val.Kyrie.]

This has been one of my favourite movies for so very long

[@ramsaybolton7464]

Haven’t seen many comments on it, but this suspenseful, score is absolutely breathtaking and draws you into the scene immensely! Especially when the henchman approaches Leon’s door. My God well done

[@svenleiser7799]

I saw this film 13+ in the cinema. And regreted this decision for not fucking one second. This is a masterpeace. Nothing less.

"Bring me everyone." "Everyone?" "EVEERRRY OOOONE!!!!!!!!!" So good

[@phalanx66Satan]

I had a class I was teaching in the military trained to respond with "Everyone?" whenever I would say "Bring me everyone" just so I could Gary Oldman the movie response "EVERY-ONE!!!!", it's too bad there are only a handful of actors as talented as he.

I loved this movie! Natalie was amazing in this. Probably her best acting ever.

[@franklint6088]

Watched it. Bought it. Own it. LOVE everything about it... Cinematic masterpiece.❤

[@phenomenalwife5380]

Same here.. it definitely was a must Buy

[@brucechristiansen0]

This was a very good movie. If you have not seen it I think you will like it if you did. "This is from Matilda" is Reno's last line of the movie that will leave you sad but pleased with what it meant.

[@abdulqudz89]

gary oldman is such a phenomenal and fantastic actor, that with the roles he played and immersed in, he actually forgot his native accent and hired a dialect coach to retrain his native accent.

[@lateblossom]

But there is a point, in this scene, where he bends his head back where you can hear it JUST a pinch.

[@canaisyoung3601]

I figured that would happen to Oldman a lot.

[@peptoyo]

Man I haven't seen this in forever, I want to watch it now.

[@nooodlemancer]

one of my favorite movies, also the first time I fell in love with Natalie Portman

[@legione182]

Gary Oldman is fantastic. Calm, crazy, sadistic, he enjoys causing pain, playing like cat and mouse. Amazing

[@ivanleon6164]

My god this is cinema, miss those piece of art.

[@JClaus1221]

Fifth Element is a fun movie, but La Femme Nikita and Leon are the masterworks of Luc Besson.

[@xxxx85]

One of the best scenes in movie history, honestly. It's so damn brutal but the story is also really unique.

[@lauralee9827]

I've never seen this movie, our man is young and so expressive! Give us more! Gotta watch this soon.

[@marksaguindel1903]

The music score that played as she was making her way back was 🔥

[@jlvfr]

The entire movie is perfect, and the soundtrack only raises the stress.
