The love of a killer and a beautiful girl, we can easily find out what a dreamy story it is by changing the title. Lyon is a taciturn person who does not pursue materiality or meaning. The past is tangled and chaotic, and the future should be predictable.

The encounter between Matilda and Leon is a fusion of two equal, lonely souls. No gender, no age. Regardless of appearance. Just the encounter ignited a cluster of sparks in the long dark night between the two.
A killer with a messy past A
girl with a humiliating and weird childhood
said to the killer, Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?
Mathilde: Is life always this hard, or is it just childhood ?
Léon: Always like this.
Léon: Always so bitter.

Always so bitter, the killer answered truthfully.

They are illusory, sad, and painful. They are real, joyful, happy. Loneliness breeds love, and love breeds pain. Matilda finally said,

I am already grown up, I just get older
.

Without love, it is old.

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.
