Have you seen an old movie:<Leon the professional >. In china, the name was translated to<This killer is not cold>.It was made in 1994, and has been watching by thousands of people during the past 23 years, and it has moved people whoever has seen it. In this movie, the heroin, Mathilda, is only a 12 years old girl but miserable experience makes her beyond the age of maturity. She is lonely, stubborn and wayward with angelic face and indifferent eyes. The hero, Leon, is a 40-year-old killer. At the time of killing he is silent, cold and clever. But as a normal man in daily life, he is simple, naive and innocent. He is lonely and his best friend is a potted plant.
One day, Mathilda's family was killed; Only Mathilda survived by finding shelter in Leon's apartment. When Mathilda knocked at the door, Leon opened the door and saved her life the girl walked into his life.
In order to revenge for her brother, Mathilda asked Leon to tech her to be a killer, then Leon took her. Gradually, Mathilda fell in love with Leon, Leon protected her from harm. Leon also fell in love with Mathilda because Mathilda let him review the pleasure of life and feel the sweet of love. If this story ended at this, we may feel it is so sweet and so romantic, but it's not. Mathilda rashly went to revenge but was caught.Leon arrived in time to save her but later attracted more police. In order to save Mathilda, Leon sacrificed himself and before his death he accomplished Mathilda's wish.
Actually, I have seen this movie a long time ago, but a few days before I watched it again. I have seen it for at least 5 times untill now , and it touches me every time as the first time. When I watched it quietly, I can't help but crying. The director Luc Besson use details to portray a flesh-and-blood killer. A killer that makes us feel cute. This is a classic movie, it brings us a lot of things, and the most is moving. The sincerity of love, the dialogue and the music of this film, all of this touched my heart. I remembered the dialogues. When Mathilda met Leon at the first time, she wept, asking the heart shocking question: "is life always this hard, or is it just when you are a kid?" silence for a moment, "always like this" Leon answered. When Leon and Mathilda were surrounded by gunfire, Mathilda was afraid of losing him.Leon spoke his heart without reservation.
Leon:You're not going to lose me. You've given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed, have roots. And you'll never be alone again, Mathilda. Please, go now, baby, go. Calm down, go now, go.
This reminds me a classic scene of Titanic. The scene when Jack and Rose are both in the cold water of North Atlantic for dying , the dialogue Jack encouraged Rose to live.
"You're going to get out of this... you're going to go on and you're going to make babies and watch them grow and you're going to die an old lady, warm in your bed. Not here. Not this night. Do you understand me?"
There are many kinds of love, no matter which kind, love is beautiful, love is the promise of giving. Love makes us kids, treat each other with pure sincerity. The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving. Love to the depths, your lover is the whole of your life. In these stories, Leon and Jack all gave their own life to protect their lover. Some people may say that young and old love is unconventional and wrong, but I see a combination of wonder. The director Luc Besson says so about this movie: This is a story about one boy and one girl. They loved each other, because in their heart they are all twelves. At the end of this movie, sting's song came from afar:
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance...
Leon's fairy tale remains in our hearts forever. May your love is as good as a child and as beautiful as a fairy tale.
