I would rather die than hope you live with love

This is a story about human nature and redemption. What human nature expresses is not love, or just love, but the mutual dependence and mutual trust of two people living on the edge of the world. Symbiosis of lovesickness is by no means just summed up by love.
As for salvation, it is a religious proposition of reincarnation, or karma. A killer cannot end well. It is perfect to die for the one loved. The audience seems to be able to guess this ending, after all, the ending of the movie must always conform to the rules of social stability.
The rootless plants run through the pot, like a half-life killer, and a precocious and perverted girl, wandering and lonely, floating on the edge of society without roots. They are all people in the dark night, but unlike Tony's type of people, they still have not given up the last bit of starlight, and have not been completely swallowed by reality and indifference.
Although the ending ending is regrettable, it is also a sublimation part of the film. Lyon could have escaped with the injured police officer while wearing a mask and went down the stairs. It is so easy to die. He did this to help Ma Tingda forget her hatred and hope that she will grow up to live a good life. He is not living for himself but for others! At the same time, it also sublimated the theme of the movie.

Léon: The Professional quotes

  • Mathilda: I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner.

    Léon: You wanna be a cleaner?

    [passes her a gun and bullets]

    Léon: Here, take it. It's a goodbye gift. Go clean. But not with me. I work alone, understand? Alone.

    Mathilda: Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

  • Léon: The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.
