Léon: The Professional: Falling in love with you (HD CLIP)

What’s happening in this “The Professional” movie clip?
As they are alone in the room, Mathilda admits to Léon several that she is falling in love with him. He refuses to reciprocate and leaves for work.

What’s the “The Professional” movie about?
Mathilda (Natalie Portman from Black Swan and Annihilation), a twelve-year old New York girl, is living an undesirable life among her half-family. Her father stores drugs for two-faced cop Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman from Harry Potter and The Dark Knight). Only her little brother keeps Mathilda from breaking apart. One day, Stansfield and his team take cruel revenge on her father for stretching the drugs a little, thus killing the whole family. Only Mathilda, who was out shopping, survives by finding shelter in Léon's (Jean Reno from Godzilla and The Big Blue) apartment in the moment of highest need. Soon, she finds out about the strange neighbour's unusual profession - killing - and desperately seeks his help in taking revenge for her little brother. Léon, who is completely inexperienced in fatherly tasks, and in friendships, does his best to keep Mathilda out of trouble - unsuccessfully. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer, who does anything in his might to get rid of an eye witness, arises to unmeasurable proportions - all for the sake of a little twelve-year old girl, who has nearly nothing to lose.

This scene is the epitome of “Professionals have STANDARDS”

[rogeliorodriguez]

In a way this movie explores the “Daddy issue” complex. Matilda lost her father and what she is experiencing now is just overall love for Leon. But she is confusing it with sexual love. She’s lacking a family now and so now love is a confusing land that she is beginning to explore. Probably doesn’t help that she is maybe close to puberty.

Leon has probably gone through what Matilda went through and knows better. He’s a professional, he has ethics and a code to follow. A gentleman not a monster. Only a monster would take advantage of that “daddy issue” complex.

His reaction with the milk was perfect. As a man you understand where a young girl can get those emotions but you shut it down immediately.

[elvirahancock]

Mathilda is so lucky Leon isnt a creep. Truly a good man all around.

[whatsgoingon]

I like how emotional Leon feels when he tries to get into character and struggles to turn into the cold hearted assassin he always was. It’s like he doesn’t want to kill people anymore after he met Matilda

[SF-owym]

Matilda: "I can feel it, in my stomach."

Leon: "Maybe is shit."

[seemslegit]

Leon's reaction is the best part, spit that milk

[quonomonna]

this is a thing that happens more often than people realize - young girls fall in love with a much older man because she feels safe and secure with and around him, she is finding herself and has all these new feelings that she has no experience with so it can all be very confusing....it is up to the adult to know better and teach them because they aren't going to feel safe and secure anymore if that boundary is crossed....the boundary....is what made the feeling of safety and security possible in the first place

Natalie at 13 had more acting talent than most women in hollywood 3 times her age today.

[inazumagou]

Even though the Professional is set in New York, the movie is super French.

[wailani]

as a girl myself that doesn’t have a stable completely good relationship with her dad
i understand what they’re going for with Matildas character
she had never felt a fatherly guidence and she hasn’t ever really felt a father figure in her life until leon
and she feels a bond, that longing for a male guardian but mistakens it for love
it’s a very real thing amongst young girls

[winterspirit]

Leon: Where does it feel?
Matilda: Stomach
Leon: I'm glad your stomach is getting better but just in case stay in the bathroom

[EXSonic]

These scenes become a little creepy when you realize that Besson said they were inspired by his relationship with his second wife who was 15 when they started dating (he was 31).

[nogunk]

What she feels is the affection a girl feels towards a guardian figure who cares for her. She never had a parental figure in her life, an adult, that keeps her safe and protects her from the cruelty of the world. The thing with Mathilda is that her perception of love and affection is skewed due to her upbringing and environment she had to grow up in. She can't differentiate Parental love from Partner love, adult love, because she grew up in an environment where she had to present as a woman rather than a little girl. Leon is right to say how do you know what love feels like if you never felt it before. Its not the idea of Leon shes in love with but that someone who is inclined to be her guardian and care for her is actually doing so.

I had bad feelings about the sexualisation of children during this movie from the first scene where Matilda was introduced just by the way she was dressed. By the end I was willing to brush it off as exploration of a taboo subject through film and had come to the conclusion that it was trying to show how young naive girls don’t know how to express their feelings properly, especially those who lack male role models.

But after finding out that the director had a child with a 15 year old when he was 30 and that he originally wanted to include more explicit scenes I can’t help but think that there was a more malicious and perverse intent behind some of the scenes.

[EdgarTheOgre]

It's important to learn from Matilda and Leon's dynamic around love. She thinks she is falling in love for him, but he knows she is wrong. But deep inside, he knows both are developing true love for each other. Not romantic, but love nonetheless. And for the first time in who knows much time, he is scared he may lose something.

[Ezoriel]

I watched this movie several times through my life: when I was a kid, teenager, young adult and a supposed-to-be-adult. When Leon spits the milk is my favourite part of the movie (besides the grenade pin gift scene).
And I guess this particular scene also taught me to not taking advantage, besides my education. Some kind of a morale principle reinforcement. Not of a kid, but of a drunken friend, random woman in the streets, or another kind of situations that made me think at least once that I could have taken advantage on somebody. But no, there's no need to go through that. Those moments clearly were screaming that I was the one in a good position. And I should act to others like I would love them to behave with me.
This mindset saved me for tons of hypothetical misunderstoods and problems.
Thanks mom and dad for raising me this well. And thanks Leon for reinforce that idea.
I feel funny because I never talked out about this. There's so many ways to have an intercourse or even a relationship that implies to have you both a good time, it's stupid to think in bad faith.
Sorry for this innecesary volume about nothing relevant.I just hope to reinforce this kind of thoughts.
Have a good day.

The movie would have gone a very different way if it was Netflix, looking at Cuties etc.

[mokkefuhua]

Leon's reaction when she said she is falling in love with him made me cracked up.

[ElwoodBluesAK]

The kid is a really good actress though, I hope she gets better big roles in the future.
