[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

The story takes place in new york metropolis, where Jean Reno plays the professional killer lyon who is entrusted by a restaurant owner to kill people. When he appeared as a killer, he was calm and mysterious, and his killing methods were exciting. But when he took off the killer mask, he became an ordinary citizen again, so simple that he didn't even have a basic ID card and bank account number. He drinks at least a glass of fresh milk every day, likes watering flowers and carefully wiping the leaves of his beloved potted plants. He is a role player with dual identities. In Leon's apartment, someone is dealing drugs secretly. The little girl Matilda's father is an informant of the police drug squad. Because of greed, she swallowed some drugs and was retaliated by the neurotic police officer Stan, killing the whole family but missing the little girl Matilda. For safety reasons, Matilda hid in the house next door to Lyon. She accidentally discovered the identity of the Lyons killer. In order to protect herself and avenge her death, Matilda asked Lyon to train her into a real professional killer in a firm tone ... At the same time, Stan also tried his best to search for Matilda to kill him ... Lyon broke into the police station alone to rescue Matilda and killed the police officer. In a panic, the police ordered a siege of the apartment building to search for Lyon. The battle between the two sides triggered the ultimate pursuit of tension and excitement.

An Italian named Leon (Jean Reno) lives in a slum in new york. He is a professional killer. One day, Mathilde (Natalie Portman), a little girl next door, knocks on his door and asks him to avoid being killed for a while. It turned out that the owner of the neighbor's house was a spy of the police, and he was punished by the bad police just because he embezzled a small bag of drugs. Mathilde was rescued by Lyon and began to help Lyon housekeeper and teach her to read, while Lyon taught girls to use guns, and they got along well. The girl followed the bad policeman and retaliated rashly, but she was caught. Leon arrived in time to save the girl. They moved again, but the girl still fell into the hands of the bad police. Leon knocked down a policeman, rescued the girl again and let her escape through the ventilation duct, and asked her to take out the money he had saved. Leon disguised himself as a policeman and tried to break out of the encirclement, but the bad policeman caught him. At the last minute, Leon blew himself up. ...

Leon is 40 years old. He is a professional killer who is used to being alone. He always abides by the principle of not killing women and children. Mathilde, on the other hand, is just an ordinary girl next door who is 12 years old. In this way, the life trajectories of two people are irrelevant, and there will be no intersection in the original work. However, just because of the latter's misfortune, they came together unexpectedly, and there was a wonderful chemical reaction between them: love.

At first glance, this seems strange. After all, the age gap between the two is too big, but it is reasonable to think about it.

Although Lyon is middle-aged, silent, cold, witty and capable, he has a gentle, kind, naive and simple heart under his unsmiling appearance. Years of solitary life made him feel lonely, and the only bright color in his life was the pot of the Silver Queen. He cultivated it as his own life, and unconsciously, this green plant became the only friend in his life-in his eyes, it was even another self. Although the girl Mathilde is still very young and looks so delicate, her life experience and tragic special experience make her character very stubborn, independent and mature. For her, Lyon is a trustworthy and reliable object, but for Lyon, isn't she the golden sunshine that suddenly appeared in the latter's black life? Both of us are unhappy-we live far apart, and we take care of each other for a long time, so these two equally lonely and eager souls naturally get closer and closer, and finally a subtle spark is struck.

Although Leon finally sacrificed his life to save Mathilde, he will never regret falling in love with her. Because of her, he relived the joy of life, felt the sweetness of love, and completed the redemption of his soul (he finally washed his sins with his own blood); Mathilde, on the other hand, thinks that she won't regret giving her first love to the middle-aged man named Leon, because he protected her from harm, relived her long-lost family warmth, understood the true meaning of love and learned to cherish it.

Never regret falling in love with you. The longer you stay, the more you cherish it. If I could go back in time, I would definitely share my love songs with you again, because you are the only one in my life.

[Edit this paragraph] Film Review

Pushing open the door of memory, the past scenes seem illusory and real ... there are sadness, joy, love, hate, acid and sweetness, which accompany us through youth. Some of these things we thought we had forgotten for a long time, but when we look back, we inadvertently find that they have never really been blowing in the wind, but have been hidden in our hearts, listening to our heartbeat, accompanying our breathing and guarding our memories.

Like ... first love.

"First love", what a warm and beautiful but slightly sad word. It represents the dream of our youth, the madness of our youth, and the dripping sadness of the old times that we can never go back.

Perhaps that innocent feeling has long been a thing of the past, and he/she may not be the person we love most in this life, but no matter who it is, it is impossible to forget that initial, inexplicable heartbeat at a certain moment. ...

Although time flies like a white horse, we can't go back to the past, but fortunately there are movies.

In the vast sea of shadows, those love stories of first love, sadness or romance are like gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. Every flower is telling about our deja vu and carefree past, and every petal is recalling the fleeting time when we were together.

"Is life so bitter, or is it just childhood?" Mathilde, a 12-year-old girl, has a pair of premature vicissitudes of life eyes. She asked Leo blankly. "Life is like this." Leo's eyes are covered by sunglasses, and he can't perceive any feelings.

Leo, who came to America from Italy, is a very ordinary nobody when he doesn't kill people. Killer is just a means for him to make a living. But when he met Matilda, his life began to change. Matilda witnessed her parents being killed by her enemies. Revenge is her long-cherished wish.

Copying the foreign version of the lifelong reading plan

Leon's character image is the source that moved me. This killer has many external characteristics, which are consistent with our imagined killer temperament. He is agile, athletic, sunglasses, windbreaker, suitcase, reticent ... employed by a regular employer ... In short, our killer image can be reflected in Lyon. At the same time, there are many different characteristics: drinking milk in the morning and being careful. I will go to see sing in the Rain, smile simply, have a fixed life schedule, exercise and be strict with myself. "In a sense, Lyon is a simple tool, a killing tool, but it is not a simple symbol. He has his own life, simple but orderly. " He lives in his own small world, and he is no different from an ordinary person except killing people. It was not until he met Martina that his life order was completely broken.

......

Luc besson wrote a killer's elegy. In this elegy, we see the whole process of human nature from extinction to recovery. Leon was happy at the last minute, with a smile on his face. He did what he always wanted to do.

Comments on imdb

[1] In the movie "Black Boy is Not Too Cold", there is a warm and particularly eye-catching focus plane that runs through the whole movie, that is, killer lyon, wearing a gown and trousers, always holds a pot of green bonsai. Even if he wanders around and has nowhere to go, he is always with his body. On the surface, Leon is just a fierce animal, blindfolded, silent, carrying an old trunk, holding orchids, walking in a hurry in old pants and big shoes, and devoting himself to the task of sweeper. As we can see from the film, the quiet Lyon, who hasn't moved much, still has his own code of conduct as a ruthless professional killer. First of all, he would never kill women and children indiscriminately. Of course, no matter who you kill, it is not a normal thing. It's still about movies. In normal broad daylight, there is a price to pay for killing.

A movie is a movie. I have always felt that this movie "This Black Boy is Not Too Cold" is not that simple. It's really a killer movie, but it's also a movie that tells more killer stories. This not-too-cold killer also tells the story of friendship, care, blending and dedication among more strangers. Shortly after the film began, the heroine Matilda became homeless. Because she came from outside, Matilda was scared to death by the family in the corridor before she could fully enter the house. When Matilda saw the massacre in one second, when Matilda thought there was no way out, Matilda held back her sobs and sadness and went straight to the door of the Italian killer Leon at the end of the corridor and rang the doorbell. Leon grabbed the gun, looked out of the door mirror, hesitated and loaded the gun in his hand. Just like the police might attack Matilda in the movie, the killer Leon opened a door for the girl. An instant acceptance saved a small life. More importantly, the killer Leon and the girl Matilda began to live together. It's hard to walk.

Then the orchid bonsai first appeared in the movie "This black boy is not too cold". Orchid bonsai is a strange gesture in the killer's room. This orchid bonsai appeared when Leon, a middle-aged hero, and Matilda, a young heroine, first formally met. It was at this time that the film showed Leon's more subtle personality: ironing clothes, drinking milk, washing flowers and leaves, embracing weapons, sitting and sleeping, and so on. A series of pure visual film languages let the audience in the East deeply feel the difference between the killers in the west and the heroes who have been used to our screen for thousands of years. This movie "This Black Boy is Not Too Cold" is more like a movie in life. Unlike many oriental films or our China films, it is just an immortal image on the screen. Our film is more similar to the myth family. Oh, that's beside the point. Or return to the orchid bonsai in Lyon. Obviously, in the movie "This black boy is not too cold", this pot of flowers and plants is always so kind. One thing is really that this killer is not too cold.

In the movie, the orchid bonsai in Lyon obviously exists as an important foil for the killer's cold treatment. Indeed, the orchid bonsai in Lyon is different from the flowers, fish, insects and birds in some domestic movies. I have been to many man-made movie cities all over the world, and I have indeed seen landscape designers draw flowers and plants on the set wall with colored pens and brushes. Of course, this so-called landscape painting is obviously an unreal artistic expression. But there is a famous novel in the western literary world called The Last Ivy Leaf, in which an old craftsman painted ivy leaves on the windows of young people in the rain at night to save his life. Soon, the old man passed away. In fact, as an audience, in my heart, I don't really want to make money, but I will take such a co-production film "This Black Boy is Not Too Cold" which is close to post-black creation to a higher level. A killer movie is a killer movie, but when the director tells the story of a cruel killer lyon, he injects a lot of extra ingredients that don't catch a cold inside. Yes, once the killer Leon met the unfortunate girl Matilda, the identity of the whole killer began to evolve slowly.

At the end of the film, killer lyon becomes the faithful protector of the young girl Matilda. From this point alone, Lyon is undoubtedly a true hero. Enough people. On the other hand, the French street policeman in the movie seems to be too reckless. In the direct perception of Leon's struggle with the police, if we simply weigh the good guys and the bad guys, then our audience will naturally have their own values and moral judgments. Who died in that perverted sheriff's butcher? Should those people die? It became the crux of the film. In the second half of the movie, Leon seems to be sacrificing himself for others? In contrast, the foil effect of orchids is more useful. Therefore, we have to admire the director luc besson for inserting this orchid. According to the old habit of watching movies, shouldn't Leon show some pines on the screen after he died to save others? Or is there an impassioned March? The rhythm of accompaniment should at least be similar to that of House of Flying Daggers or something, right? Yes, it must be solemn. You can pretend.

Unexpectedly, in such a film "This Black Boy is Not Too Cold", the French with a particularly strong artistic atmosphere did not engage in pine trees or mountains, but made a more feminine orchid and flowers. I really don't know if the aphrodisiac effect of pine and cypress and Guerlain can be similar or similar. At the end of the movie "This Black Boy is Not Too Cold", the heroine Matilda took out Leon's potted orchids and planted them in a place that looked very sunny and harmonious. When Mathilde planted flowers, she did not remember Mathilde's tragic eyes. I didn't cry. Dad called mom or something. I just said to myself in front of the bonsai in Lyon: We are safe now, Lyon ... At this time, Matilda's confession seemed so clean and unforgettable. The simple and vivid confession of movie characters makes the audience feel more and more important? At least, we are safe now, Leon. This sentence is just a pure girlish word, which makes us sound more like a living person talking. The girl is talking. And what I said is exactly what I should say at this moment. If we shout "Long live" or "I love you", that is our domestic film method.

Perhaps, French director luc besson thinks that the words in the film are not enough to make people forget. So he added a special piece of music to the movie. A more "alternative" theme song "The Shape of My Heart". It is said that this movie song seems to be tailor-made by the famous British singer Justin for Not Too Cold Black Boy. Among them, the lyrics are cleverly written, lamenting that killer lyon compared killing to a card game, with spades, clubs and diamonds in his hand, except the red heart. In fact, the potential intention of the film is probably to compare killer lyon's heart to a game? Than a red heart? So I kept searching, wandering and testing my heart in the killer's treasure hunt? The film ended in tragedy. Leon, a silent killer with a black beard and a black mirror, may never find the red heart in that game. But killer lyon finally found her love. This heart seems to use the orchid as an umbrella for his wandering life. Really changed my mind. At the end of the film, the girl Matilda talks to herself while planting orchids. The words are so warm and hazy. Xi Yi Cao knelt down and touched Ling: It's safe here, Leon. ...

Is it really safe? Leon?

The opening of the film is a wonderful assassination, which fully shows the ruthlessness of a killer. Killer lyon was well-planned, and acted calmly and fearlessly. This also paved the way for the director to show the true side of Lyon later.

The conversation between Leon and the little girl Mathilde when they met briefly on the stairs is the beginning of the intersection of Mathilde and Leon's lives. Mathilde's whole family was killed by a group of people. She survived by virtue of her own cleverness and started a different life with Leon. The feelings of their father, daughter, teachers and friends are very touching. Leon feels the joy of life because of Mathilde, who has the warmth and care of a family because of Leon.

The director of Black Boy Not Too Cold is the famous Frenchman luc besson. The film is full of artistic flavor, and even the scene of killing people is as unique and beautiful as works of art. In the film, the director expressed more criticism of some ugly things in reality. For the benefit of the police, they can become murderers, and they slaughter wantonly in the name of justice. The Mathilde family, who had no affection at all, was finally killed because of their greed.

The music in the film is also well-made, and the theme song "The Shape of My Heart" is sung by veteran singer Sting. Such a beautiful melody sets off the true meaning of the story and plays a role in making people cry.

In the film, when Leon wears sunglasses, he becomes a completely different person, a killing machine, while Lyon, who lives in seclusion, leads a dull life without sunglasses, accompanied by a rootless orchid, but his simple expression is a bit like Mr. Bean.

After watching the movie, I have to applaud Natalie Portman's acting skills. This little girl, who was born in Jerusalem, was only 12 years old when filming. Innocent eyes reveal Mathilde's helplessness, and the role is endowed with soul under her performance. She is even more dazzling in this film than movie star Jean Reno. When playing games with Lyon, Natalie Portman showed her changeable acting skills, which made people laugh. Coupled with her rare young beauty, the future is limitless.

The encounter between Leon and Mathilde is doomed to be a point of no return, but Leon's death is meaningful, not a conflict of interests, not a greed of human nature, but a fearless contribution that little people can make for their pursuit of friendship, affection and love. A killer became my hero.

Just after watching the movie, I have an endless aftertaste and understanding of the movie. I was deeply moved by this film. A touching and tragic classic movie does not need to be picky about details. We just need to concentrate and not be disturbed. A good movie will have a meaningful life story in it, inspiring people to work hard.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes tidbits

At first, Natalie Portman lost the election because she was too young, but she didn't give up. She returned to luc besson for a wonderful performance, which forced luc besson to give her the role. This is also her first film.

In the scene where Leon and Mathilde are on a mission for Tony, director luc besson also plays a small role-a guy shooting in the background.

In the scene where there are many police cars parked in the street, a man who just robbed the store happened to run out of the store. When he bumped into the film crew and many "policemen", he obediently surrendered to this group of uniformed extras.

Liv tyler was considered to play the role of Mathilde, but considering that she was already too tall, she gave up.

The pistol used by Leon in the film is a Beretta 92 series with a young suppressor.

In the original script, there are many "embarrassing scenes about sex" between Leon and Mathilde. One scene is that two people are lying in bed and Mathilde is talking about sex. These scenes were deleted when they were released in the United States, but they can be found in the deleted clips of the European version and the special edition DVD.

The plants cultivated by Leon and eventually replanted by Mathilde in the film are evergreen plants, and the pronunciation of the middle part of the word is "Leon".

When Leon and Mathilde stayed in a hotel, Mathilde registered under the name "MacGuffin". MacGuffin is a film technique originated from Hitchcock, a suspense master. It refers to the layout technology that brings movie stories into dynamic. It usually refers to a dramatic element, such as an object, a character or even a mystery, which can make the audience quickly enter a situation driven by curiosity at the beginning of a suspense story.

Stanfield said he would show up with his men at noon. In Leon's room, we saw the clock pointing to 1 1: 58, and the next series of scenes happened within 2 minutes, and then the gang came on time at noon.

"Is life so bitter, or is it just a childhood life?" /kloc-Matilda, 0/2 years old, has a pair of eyes that have changed prematurely. She asked Leon with a straight face. "Life is like this." Leon's eyes were covered by sunglasses, and he couldn't see any emotion. For Matilda, Leon has sincere love, even at the expense of his own life to keep Matilda alive. But as a killer, destiny takes a hand can't have feelings. With love, there is weakness, and the fairy tale ending of the killer must be sad.

So Leon became a classic character in one fell swoop. You can refuse a killer, but you can't help loving Leon. He wove the purest fairy tale, heroic and sad. When dealing with the scene where he was shot, the director used slow motion and silence. What people see is the blood spot between his eyebrows, which gradually expands until he falls to the ground. He never hesitated in his footsteps, and he kept heading for the bright exit. He wants to get rid of the dark world, even if this idea is only a pale hope, he also wants to exchange his own death for Matilda's life.

The killer is not too cold is definitely a movie worth seeing, and it is the most unique work to describe marginal characters in the movie.

You have my life.

I was old when I was born.

Hate doesn't happen at the same time

Be good to you every day.

When the police special operations team retreated along the wall after the second attack, we could see that the wall was shaking and bending inward.

When stanfield walked into the front building, Mathilde followed, a photographer was standing in the window above the entrance.

When Mathilde watched Transformers for the last time, the scenes of different episodes in the comic were put together.

We all know that Leon likes to drink milk, and the height of milk in the cup often changes magically, from time to time.

When Leon trained Mathilde to use a rifle, it seemed that neither of them considered the influence of distance, location, weather and wind-it was impossible to aim and hit her target from hundreds of yards away.

When the fat man answers the phone, there is no telephone line on the base of the cordless phone.

When Leon asked Mathilde why he hid cigarettes, the cut length of cigarettes changed obviously.

Finally, the Grenade used to chase the scene is a flash bomb used by paratroopers, but it is not a very explosive weapon.

At the end of the movie, Leon told Mathilde to take the axe off the wall. When Mathilde opens the glass door, you can see the projection of the camera lens on the glass, followed by luc besson.

According to the telephone number of the headmistress, the school should be in Wildwood, New Jersey, which is 0/50 miles away from new york/Kloc. The last thing we saw was Manhattan.
