When Lori Matida meets her uncle Leon, when a rebellious girl with a simple appearance and a cold heart meets a killer with a cold appearance and a kind heart, they are like parents, masters and apprentices, like lovers. They met each other, like hot magma poured into their cold hearts. The gray life was painted with color, the stomach no longer hurts, the eyes could be closed when sleeping, and the life began to laugh.
The world is actually very realistic, there are not too many romantics. In the life where Lyon met Matida, he was with a plant, friendlier than others, equally silent, and also without roots. In the film, this plant appears frequently. Every time it is bathed in the morning sun, it represents the beginning of a new day. Every time, when moving house, Matida’s left hand will hold it. The ending of the film, Marty Da planted it into the soil, implying that his best wishes to Lyon are rooted. Matida's life before meeting Lyon was also a gray, suffering from domestic violence, being squeezed out by her family, only a beloved brother, and eventually killed.
In the film, the federal anti-narcotics police is the biggest negative role, which strengthens the heavy tone of the film review. A black policeman who smuggled drugs and killed the Matidas. Some people, even with the appearance of justice, can't help their greedy desires. In this society, there are too many such corrupt people, so that there will be so much harm and injustice. It was a role like Norman that had a tragic beginning, and there was also a tragedy like the killing of Lyon. I remember that was the first time Leon woke up in bed early in the morning.
There is also the "bank" Tony in Lyon, who has repeatedly emphasized to Lyon that he is only helping him keep the money. The money is still Lyon, but he never gave the money to Lyon. Entrusted in Lyon before his death: If an accident happens one day, leave all the money to Matida. When Lyon was killed, Matida went to Tony, and Tony gave Matida 100 of "pocket money". I guess Leon's money would have been taken away by him. And Lyon is a tool for making money to Tony.
The murder of Mattida's family was the cause of the story, and Lyon's death was the result of the story. If Matida gave up her hatred at first, maybe Leon would not die, and they would be happy together. I don’t know if Matida has regretted it, but I think this will end in private. Leon died. In this world, a wicked policeman died. Maybe people don't have such a big heart to give up hatred, but what we have right now is worth cherishing.
Matida is a sexy witch in my eyes, even though she is really young. Leon is a shy boy in my eyes, although he is a professional killer. It is precisely this two people who are "different from the outside", from strange to familiar to loving each other in each other's lives, has become an indispensable habit in life. Matida quit smoking, drinking milk, exercising, Leon learns to sleep in bed, learns to love, learns to live, learns to read. As I said at the beginning, they filled each other's lives with color. If there is no hatred between them, a warm and fulfilling life would be a good thing.
But this is the ending of the movie. It is more real when there are sads and regrets. Fortunately, Lyon finally took root.
