It's not an unheard of situation for a young girl, especially in certain circumstances, to have feelings (or THINK that she has feelings) for an adult male that treats her with kindness and respect and gives her an environment of safety. The onus and the pressure is on the ADULT male to behave properly and ethically.

@quasimotto8653 Ай бұрын

@@jmurdock8303 I think that was Luc Besson's (the writer AND director of this movie) intention. He WANTED to create sexual tension between Leon and Mathilda. I think he wanted to create concern in the audience that this "relationship" might go somewhere that would repulse most of the audience. I felt that the movie wanted to make us think about what makes a person a "good guy or a bad guy". On the one hand, Leon is a "good guy" because of the kindness and protection he offers to Mathilda. But he's also an assassin; a killer. So that makes him a "bad guy", right? With this existing duality in Leon, his "good/bad" status is up in the air. So when he's presented with the possibility of a sexual relationship with Mathilda......how can we know for sure what path he will take? The suspense of not knowing how he will handle this situation adds to the drama and the tension of the movie. I think Besson did this on purpose.

It's funny to see how many reactors feel so uncomfortable and deny the crush Matilda may have on Leon to make themselves feel better. It's very common for someone so young to develop a crush on a much older person. Leon is an honorable person, but not a very sophisticated man and is not able to properly convey to Matilda what she's feeling and guide her through this situation.

The supremely talented Natalie Portman was 12 years old when this film was made. Many people cringe at this scene, but it’s perfectly reasonable for a girl like Matilde to develop a crush on Leon. He was the first “real man” she had even known. Given her very dysfunctional life, she was desperate to find a normal life with a loving family and a loving man. Her confusion and misdirected desires are no surprise.

She turned 12 eight days later. Filming ended on October 7th, 1993, when Portman was 12 years, 3 months and 28 days old. Do you have any other comments to make, Randy? SMH….

That she played a slightly older version of the similar theme, brilliantly, in the much better known "Beautiful Girls" and doesn't decry that, is telling.

@vampfashions Ай бұрын

It was intentionally written to show "creepy" to make people begin to question their levels and definitions of creepy. The entire movie is designed and incredibly well-crafted to challenge and provoke thought on that inevitable techtonic grind between a young girl being dismissed by society but having feelings, and, the "accepted wisdom" of the magic "18." (or majority age in your region lol). Even the reviewers all say "She's a child" yet all through the movie they cheer her being "grown up strong" and "capable" and "caring for Leon." They see her as playing with her baby brother, yet, she is looking for a lover. The film makers wanted to provoke discomfort, and cause discussion.

Like some of them said, the "love" that Mathilda feels is not the same as a "couple's love" but rather a more father/daughter type of bond, which she confuses it with romantic love since as a child you don't really understand or even know that there are many different types of love And that's giving a generous reading of an otherwise very disturbing scene if you take into account the people behind the movie

@jmurdock8303 Ай бұрын

I think she knows the difference lol

@vampfashions Ай бұрын

She knew the difference at barely 12 and fighting her parents to play the role. The whole movie Mathilda is viewed as "child" like her baby brother. But look at the horrifically violent and adult world she exists in. So, the filmmakers craft a character that epitomizes the "precocious" girl, and places her in dreadful events, and then says "hey, do YOU think I'm sexy? Well, DO you?" The movie is supposed to be disturbing, the casual level of extreme violence, the juxtaposition between sacred and profane, the role reversal. And, it is supposed to make us challenge our perspective and question our morals and limits.

@vampfashions Ай бұрын

I think the whole point that the writer, director, and film makers wanted to ask you was, "Why?" A young girl should not deal with themes like crime, violence, drug murders, cruel, evil, corrupt cops, the fear of being hunted, she should be playing with her baby brother. But the young girl, growing up, changing, should also not forever be the child playing with her baby brother. And where does that lead? Is there the instant, the calendar flip that grants permission, or are the feelings there, simmering, awakening, and searching, even just accepting of someone to focus on? The whole damn point of the movie isn't the extreme violence, not even the extremely "broken" characters. The movie is an examination of the time when a girl is "allowed" to express, even pursue, those first moments of awakening and exploration, and the very limited range of outlets/targets she may have to feel those urges for. It is supposed to scare you a lot, but it is also supposed to make you think, and to question the "18" dogma since it obviously doesn't align with biological development. She fought her parents to be allowed to make the movie, loved it, laughed at the "adult" talk show hosts and reporters so uncomfortable at it, and then, only decades later after a degree from "Woke U" and years in Hollyweird decided she doesn't like it.

There are the creepers in the discussion, and there are the academics. Natalie Portman, 12 and precocious fought her parents to star in a story she adored. Was she also feeling the same kind of awakening feelings? Of course, biology is a thing, we are hardwired. We are supposed to feel the normalization of the horrors of the extreme violence in the world they both exist in, and also to cheer for the tenderness of their mutual love. But then, the movie makers play that against our "ick factor, our 'ooooh' response to ANY moment where a line may be brushed against. Is the human female suddenly sexual that moment the clock strikes 12 on her 18th B-Day? Is the girl playing with her baby brother allowed to acknowledge she thinks that actual man makes her feel "warm?" The movie is designed and well crafted to advance a discussion and potentially to advance an agenda. But, it is great for making people think, discuss, fight, and feel uncomfortable. Also known as "Art."

@vampfashions Ай бұрын

Are babies sexualized? Are seniors sexual? What is the biological mechanism that makes a human body go from "innocent child" at 17 years, 364 days and 23:59 hours, to a minute later being "young adult free to search and to be searched for?" The whole movie was made to advance and provoke the discussion of "How do we feel about a precocious girl (especially and unusually personable, flirtatious and physically beautiful one) arriving at her sensual and sexual desire a few days, months years before society would prefer? She is mentioned by all the reviewers to be "child" yet, she feels "ready", they all, society, denies her sensuality and sexuality completely out of hand. The filmmakers come from a community where these issues were lived out (Roman Polanski), and Natalie Portman understood and fought to play that role (and a similar one in Beautiful Minds). It is designed to challenge your bias, and feelings, and the dogma of "18." And now we have Drag Time Story Hour for 4 years olds.

@vampfashions Ай бұрын

You miss the point. The movie isn't about the violence, the crime story, the chaste relationship. The entire movie (you know enough about the creators) is designed to advance the question and force you to confront it. How do you feel about a young girl having sexual desire for a grown man? And then, they put layer upon layer upon layer of bows and ribbons to dress up the actual question. Is Mathilda the "child" playing with her baby brother forever, until the moment she turns 18 and becomes a sexual being? Or is she a human with desires and feelings, both sexual and sensual all along, and now living in a world where her desire to learn more about this awakened feeling can be lived a bit, is denied, challenged, and dismissed outright? Luc Besson is forcing your nose right into the ick feeling and asking you to choose, "Do you support this lovely hero in her journey? (which will make you feel like a creep?)"
