This is a story about a killer and a girl. A story about New York. Here is a modern city, here is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. A killer Leon, who was exiled from Italy to New York, USA, is calm and mysterious, and his murder method makes blood boil. But when he took off his killer mask, he returned to an ordinary market person, drinking milk every day and taking care of his potted plants. Originally such a regular life could last until the day when Leon was old, but one encounter changed it. all this. And Matilda is just an ordinary 12-year-old girl next door. The life trajectories of such two people were originally unrelated to each other, and they would not have any intersection. However, only because the latter was unfortunately destroyed, Leon, who had a conscience in his heart, opened his door at the last moment and saved her. . Matilda, who narrowly escaped, became a part of Lyon's life. For the sake of Matilda, Leon and Stan, the black and white professional killers, began to confront each other, and finally they perished in an explosion with "Matilda's greetings". Matilda survived. "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" is a film by Luc Besson completed in 1994, and it is also his seventh film in his film career, and is recognized as his pinnacle. The film is tragic in a sense, but there is a lot of romance in it, so that it doesn't seem too heavy, but it goes straight to the heart of the audience. The changes in the love songs between the two protagonists are magnified by the director's "close-up" approach, and various details are used to create desirable beauty and warmth.
Although the girl Matilda is still young and seems to be so weak and pitiful, her life experience and tragic special encounters have made her character very stubborn, willful, independent, and also has the Age disproportionately mature. To her, Leon is of course a trustworthy and dependable object, and to Leon, isn't she the golden sunshine that suddenly appeared in the latter's black life? They are the same people in the end of the world, plus they have been together for a long time, sharing life and death, so these two souls who share the same loneliness and yearn for warmth naturally get closer and closer, and finally create a subtle spark. These two people who have no blood and no support in the world were bound together by the god of fate. Next, Matilda taught Leon to read and write, and Leon taught Matilda to hold a gun and make a killer. During this period, they unknowingly couldn't leave each other. Although the film does not clearly express what kind of feelings the two of them are, love? Affectionate? I believe that most viewers think that this film expresses love, but I personally prefer to understand him as a family relationship, not because I have any prejudice or can't understand that there will be love between them. On the contrary, I am not at all surprised that two people who are very different in age can have love. Two lonely hearts become warm and fulfilled because of each other. I am envious.
Although they both say "I love you" to each other towards the end of the film, I still think they are more of a family. Between heaven and earth, the two lonely hearts understand each other and rely on each other. There is no one but each other to pity and trust each other. The feeling of trust may be the feeling between Leon and Matilda. I think That feeling isn't just limited to love.
Jean Reno's killer Leon is cool and handsome, especially when he kills. But oddly, those scenes of Leon being the killer didn't make a special impression in my mind. On the contrary, some scenes showing his innocence, cuteness, tenderness, silence, simplicity and enthusiasm are imprinted in my mind. . . . . .
He took his cherished friend—a pot of plant, which he rubbed lightly and basked in the sun on time every day in my mind;
He went to the cinema alone to watch a movie, watching the protagonist sing loudly, while he was in the audience, his naive look was always in my mind; Matilda asked, "Life is so hard, or is it just childhood? "It's always been that way," he replied, "always." It's always in my mind when he's calm;
he's in my mind when he stammered and asked Tony for money
; Matilda looked lost and found, and held her tightly in my head;
he entrusted Tony, who gave him the task, to give his money to him when something happened to him The prudent expression of being a little girl was always in my head;
he said "I love you, you made my life fun..." as he broke the pipe and said goodbye to Matilda in the hail of bullets. In my mind; when
he finally perished with that hateful Stanley, Leon's unrepentant look is always in my mind; killer Leon compares killing to a game of cards, spades, clubs, Fang Jue, everything is there Holding it in the palm of his hand, the only thing missing is the red heart. In fact, the potential intention in the depths of the film is probably to compare the killer Leon's inner self to a game? Compared to a red heart? So keep looking, keep wandering, keep testing your heart in the killer's scavenger game? The film ends in tragedy, the black beard, the black mirror, the silent killer Leon, may never find the heart in the game. But the killer Leon finally found a love of his own. This heart seems to have used the pot of orchids as an umbrella for his displaced life. It's a heart-to-heart change. At the end of the film, the girl Matilda is planting orchids and talking to herself. He spoke so earnestly and vaguely. Xi Cao Yi knelt down, touching her soul: It's safe here, Leon... Is it really safe? Leon?
At the end of the film, Mathilde planted the plant symbolizing Lyon (close-up), she said: "Ithinkwe'llbeokayhere" and then the camera shot overhead, the angle was unchanged from vertical above Mathilde's head to parallel to the ground , the camera also keeps rising, above the trees, towards the tall buildings of New York City across the sea. Echoes with the start. This is a story that happened in New York. There are all kinds of people of different races, different skin colors and different countries. This is a modern city, which is the most prosperous city in the world. This place is full of twisted sins, the people here have no roots, there is too much helplessness here, and there is no happiness here.
