…what’s wrong with Leon?

• parrellel 9mo ago
  The long cut implies reciprocation of the girl's crush and that casts further shade on Leon's backstory.

    I watched the director’s cut again last week, and I don’t see this at all. The Leon character explicitly refuses Mathilda’s… well they’re not even propositions are they.

      It turns out that Jean Reno refused to film the scenes as Besson wanted them to be.

        Ok. I'm not convinced at this point, because I don't know how Besson allegedly wanted the scenes to be filmed. And that isn't to say I approve of Luc Besson's choices in his personal life — I find the idea of a romance between a 32 year old and a 15 year old unacceptable. Whether there are parallels between his private life and his artistic expression, I am unwilling to speculate on.
