Born to the sun

This movie was watched in the film and television appreciation class. Before the movie was shown, the teacher said that after watching the movie, tell us what you think about the relationship between the two characters.
A lone killer. After completing each task, go to the supermarket to buy two bottles of milk and go back to the house where you are alone (don't call it home). The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark. He slept in a chair, with one eye open, and couldn't really fall asleep—a killer had to be vigilant at all times. He has lived like this for a long time. until I met that little girl.
A "problem girl" who dares to hate. Sitting on the stairs to smoke, the makeup and clothes that do not match her age, the stubborn eyes, and the appearance of the little girl, make people feel special. Her father beats her all the time, her mother is not her biological mother, and her sister is a half-sister. She has no feelings for these people. After the family was brutally murdered, she said that if he didn't die, sooner or later, she would do it herself. The only thing she hurts was her brother.
In fact, he is also a gentle killer. Wash your potted plants often and carefully, and place them by the window to soak up the sun. When the little girl suffers a family change, she will open the door softly to let her in, and she will play a pig to make her happy. Also play games with her. He was also him at this time.
In fact, she is also a girl who dares to love. In order to avenge her brother, she decided to be a killer to avenge her favorite brother. In her eyes, love is love. No need to be cowardly, no need to pay attention to the eyes of others, just love if you want to. So, she can calmly tell Leon that I love you.
A killer should be ruthless, he should be hard-hearted, and he should ignore irrelevant people who ask him for help. In the end, however, he relented and opened the door to her, even though it would cause him trouble. Maybe it was because of the look in her eyes when she met her at the entrance of the stairs, maybe it was because of his other side except the killer, who knows, but he just opened the door for her. So then there was him to make her happy, he taught her to be a killer, and she said to him "I seem to be in love with you, Leon", so there was a parody show to relieve boredom.
Some people say that their "love" is an incestuous relationship. An uncle who is about to be forty and a little loli who is under the age of twelve are together. This is not allowed in the world. Maybe it's love, maybe it's not love, but it's a feeling that is better than love. After all, they are similar. It is also an alien in the eyes of others, a killer, a "problem girl", who is excluded from society. But at the same time they also long for love, for warmth. He didn't dare to accept her feelings at first because he hadn't loved or been loved by anyone for many years. Two people who lacked love and longed for love met, and some of them cherished each other. They are at ease together. Leon finally stopped sleeping on the sofa with one eye open, and could finally lie on the big bed and sleep until dawn. The little girl finally stopped staring at everything around her with hateful eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. They are happy together.
What struck me the most was when Leon let the girl escape from the pipe and left to face the danger on her own. Much like what Jack said to Rose on the Titanic before he died, he hoped that the one who survived would continue to live for the one who died.
About potted plants. I noticed this potted plant at the beginning of the film. Leon carefully wiped the dust from the leaves, watered it, took it with him wherever he moved, and placed it outside the window to absorb the sunlight. This potted plant represents himself. Longing for the sun, longing to live under the sun. It's a pity that the potted plant has no roots, which is very similar to his wandering life. But fortunately, in the end, the girl transplanted the potted plant to the ground, took root, and it will grow into a towering tree.

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.
