Jean Reno's performance as a cold blooded killer who appears to be almost afraid of little Natalie Portman.

Similar to the big dogs and little kitten videos that are so popular on youtube. A classic juxtaposition.

There was also a scene where Mathilda is taking a shower and Leon opens the shower curtains by accident and Mathilda doesn't care. Wouldve been great if they waited for Natalie to be 15-18 to do this film. Then their couldve been a sex scene and whatnot.

If you don't legitimately think loli Hershlag was cute as fuck, you've been brainwashed.

I mean, ACTUALLY wanting to fuck her is going too far with it. But you could see that she was a beautiful young woman, not a prepubescent child. Girls don't go from prepubescent child to fully mature woman overnight on her 18th birthday. She's a blossoming young woman here and she gets more and more attractive as her career went on and she kept putting out movies, from Beautiful Girls, to Mars Attacks, to Star Wars.

By Mars Attacks? It'd be okay to actually want to fuck her. By Star Wars? You definitely wanted to fuck her and you know it.

Pedophilia is socially acceptable in France if you're part of the cultural or political elite and it's consensual. Roman Polanski is a martyr over there.

He's not there, mentally.

Hell they pretty much had to make Leon semi-retarded so his relationship with Portman didn't seem quite as skeezy. Which is a shame, because you see the little boy having a crush on an older woman trope all the time, yet little girls having crushes on older guys really isn't all that uncommon.

Hell, I've had it happen to me. It's endearing.

> Now I wish to introduce the following idea. Between the age limits of [...] and [...] there occur maidens who, to certain bewitched travelers, twice or many times older than they, reveal their true nature which is not human, but nymphic (that is, demoniac); and these chosen creatures I propose to designate as "nymphets." [...] Between those age limits, are all girl-children nymphets? Of course not. Otherwise, we who are in the know, we lone voyagers, we nympholepts would have long gone insane. Neither are good looks any criterion; and vulgarity or at least what a given community terms so, does not necessarily impair certain mysterious characteristics, the fey grace, the elusive, shifty, soul-shattering, insidious charm that separates the nymphet from such coevals of hers as are incomparably more dependent on the spatial world of synchronous phenomena than on that intangible island of entranced time where Lolita plays with her likes. Within the same age limits the number of true nymphets is strikingly inferior to that of provisionally plain, or just nice, or "cute", or even "sweet" and "attractive", ordinary, plumpish, formless, cold-skinned, essentially human little girls,with tummies and pigtails, who may or may not turn into adults of great beauty [...]. A normal man given a group photograph of school girls or Girl Scouts and asked to point out the comliest one will not necessarily choose the nymphet among them. You have to be an artist and a madman [...], in order to discern at once, by ineffable signs – the slightly feline outline of a cheekbone, the slenderness of a downy limg, and other indices [...] – the little deadly demon among the wholesome children; she stands unrecognized by them and unconscious herself of her fantastic power.

– Vladimir Nabokov (1955)

Dude, it's not endearing, at least to me. One of my sister's friends is constantly sparking up banter with me, making faces and doing coy, cutesy shit.

Last time she came over, she was lying on her stomach on the floor and kept looking at me and moving her legs in this kind of cutesy way. She wouldn't move when I had to walk past and giggled and shit. I just wanted to be like MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY.

She also said something about how she's like a sister to me. I was like okay. She won't stop talking to me when she comes around. It ain't fun. What have I done to deserve this.

Heh, not really. I just like the novel.
And actually I really only started to find Natalie Portman sexually attractive when she was way older.
Nevertheless, in "Léon" she was cute for a 12-year-old and acted really well for her age.

read the novel. During the first half you will see that the character of Humbert Humbert definitely was a major inspiration behind Bret Easton Ellis's Patrick Bateman in his vapid grandeur and his highly doubtful grip on reality.

Léon is a sort of man-child actually.That's the reason while the characters' relationship in this movie doesn't come over as creepy but rather endearing.
It's the "reverse Harold and Maude", if you will.

Pedophilia aside, this is still core oldman, and i think one of his best roles.

You know what I would say in a situation like this.

Of course. He's illiterate, lives alone with only a plant for company. Despite being a killer he needs Tony to look after him and it's implied that he's taking advantage of him with his money.
