killer game

Plot introduction (roughly from Baidu):

The story takes place in Metropolitan New York, where Leon, a professional killer played by Jean Reno, is entrusted by a restaurant owner to kill.When he appeared as a killer, he was calm and mysterious, and his killing methods made people excited.But when he took off the killer mask, he returned to being an ordinary common man, so simple that he didn’t even have a basic ID card or bank account, drank at least two cups of fresh milk every day, liked to water flowers and carefully wipe the leaves of his beloved potted plants , is a role-playing person with a dual identity.

And in the apartment where Lyon lives, someone sneaks into the warehouse for drug dealing. The father of the little girl Matida is an informant of the police anti-narcotics team. Because of greed, he swallowed some drugs privately. He was revenged by the neurotic police officer Stan and killed the whole family. People have left out the little girl Matilda.To be safe, Matilda hid in Lyon's house next door. She knew the identity of Lyon's killer. In order to protect herself and avenge her death, Matilda asked Lyon to train her to become a real professional killer in a firm tone... After that, Stan also tried his best to search for Matilda to kill him... Leon broke into the police station alone to rescue Matilda who was going for revenge, and killed the policeman.In a panic, the police ordered the siege of the apartment building and searched for Lyon with all their strength. The fighting between the two sides triggered a tense and exciting ultimate pursuit.

Leon knocked down the police, rescued the girl again and let her escape through the ventilation duct, and told her that the money he left her was with the restaurant owner.Lyon disguised himself as a policeman and wanted to get out of the encirclement, but was seen through by Stan.At the last moment, Leon detonated the bomb on his body... Leon is 40 years old, he is a professional killer who is used to being alone, and he always abides by the principle of not killing women and children; while Matilda is just an ordinary The 12-year-old girl next door.The life trajectories of these two people have nothing to do with each other, and they would not have any intersection in the first place. However, it was only because of the unfortunate disaster of the latter that they came together unexpectedly, and there was a kind of relationship between them. Fantastic chemistry: love.

This may seem unbelievable at first glance, after all, the age difference between the two is too great, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Although Lyon is middle-aged, and he is silent, cold, witty and capable, but under his unsmiling appearance, he hides a gentle, kind, innocent and simple heart. Lonely and lonely, the only bright color in life is the pot of silver queen.He cultivated it as his own life, and unknowingly, this pot of green plant became his only friend in life—in his eyes, it was even another self.Although the girl Matilda is still young and looks so weak and pitiful, her life experience and tragic special encounters make her character very stubborn, self-willed, independent, and has Maturity out of proportion to his age.For her, Leon is certainly a trustworthy and reliable object, but for Leon, why is she not the golden sunshine that suddenly appeared in the latter's black life?The same people who have fallen into the world, coupled with the long-term relationship, life and death, so these two souls who are equally lonely and yearn for warmth naturally get closer and closer, and finally a subtle spark is sparked.

Although Leon finally sacrificed his life to save Matilda, 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 own soul (he finally used his own blood to wash away the sins he had committed); and what about Matilda? , I believe I will not regret giving my first love to the middle-aged man named Leon, because it is him who protects her from harm, relives the warmth of the long-lost family, understands the true meaning of love, and learns How to cherish.

The above plot introduces the mainstream view. In fact, in my eyes, the relationship between Ma Tinda and Leon is not so much love as it is a relationship between two rootless people under the cruelest fate. kind of warmth and salvation.There is a lot of controversy about whether it is love or not. After all, there is a huge gap between the two of them, and the director's fuzzy treatment can only be seen by the benevolent and the wise.

Leon:

The Leon I want to talk about, I only hope to restore the authenticity to the greatest extent.I love the image of Leon created by the movie very much. As a killer, he is cold and mysterious, as his credo says: always stay in the best condition, always stay awake.But when he broke away from the identity of a killer, he showed the side of an ordinary person. His character is even as simple and clumsy as a child, with unimaginable kindness, and his smile is so simple that it is even ridiculous.His life was too simple, so simple that it was barren, just like that clean room without any extra things.I always feel that this almost lonely and cold atmosphere will bring out a certain kind of warmth, just as silence can sometimes become strength.

Meeting Mathilda, two short conversations in the movie, and then opening the door to save her, letting in the warmest sunshine in his life, he began to enjoy the brilliance that life should have, but this redemption is so difficult Ephemeral—so much so that when it ends it becomes an irretrievable parting of life and death.

This killer has the softest heart.

Mathilda:

It's a game of fate.She is very young, only 12 years old, but she can't wait to mature, because childhood is so bitter.

Childhood is so bitter.

The past and present overlap each other.With maturity and ruthlessness beyond her age, Mathilda, who has another memory, is more worthy of her name. She knows how to keep herself alive.However, being alive is just a state. Mathilda, who has endured another ordeal, has a fresh body and a fresh life, but she can't make her soul alive. She tries hard to restore the memories that keep disappearing and her instinct for the world. Her fear turned her soul into an eternal gray.

The entanglement between darkness and light is an eternal topic.Fate had destined her to meet Leon.This is also a mutual rescue and need.She will be afraid of the continuation of the plot and the development of the story, but she has always been firm, that is, not to violate her heart.And when she has a complete heart, all grievances will eventually disappear.

The two icy hearts glowed faintly as they approached each other, warming each other and redeeming each other.He became her belief, but she became his weakness.This is also an inevitability.

Stan:

The villain of the show.Sheriff of the Narcotics Division of the 8th District of New York City.

He was cute from a young age until he gouged out the eyes of the little girl next door when he was 15 years old.He has curly flaxen hair that is scrupulously combed, blue eyes, and a handsome appearance.He was, for the most part, a gentle and Beethoven-loving man.When dealing with customers, he generally does not speak, just looking at others is enough.His eyes are full of nervousness, and his hands smell like a little girl after years of using Begley hand sanitizer.

This man is very scary. He kills people according to the rhythm of Beethoven's music. You can never understand his thoughts with his logic.He's neurotic, and he's so crazy that even his companions are afraid of him.He is completely inhuman, he has no regard for human life, regardless of men and women, even children.

The biggest difference between him and Leon is that he is always ruthless.Only death can destroy him.

(I didn't find the names of Mathilda's family when I checked the movie script, it only used "Mathilda'sfather, Mathilda'smather, Mathilda'ssister, Mathilda'sbrother" as a reference, I searched all over the movie lines, only found Mathilda's When Dad called her Mom, it was Margie—Maggie. Well... so I made up a few names.)

Mathilda'sfather: Charley (Charley...very common, very generic)

Mathilda'smather: Margie (that's Maggie...in the movie anyway)

Mathilda'ssister: Catherine (Catherine, the first name that comes to mind)

Mathilda's brother: Colin (Colin, very cute name, the brother in the movie is so cute)

PS:

When sorting out the F drive, I dug out an old movie downloaded a long time ago.In boredom, I clicked to read one by one, and then stopped on one of the names: "This Killer Is Not So Cold".

I clicked on it.

After reading it from beginning to end, I turned off the video, opened my document, created a new document, and started this fanfic.

Excitement is always time-sensitive.I've got to nail this feeling down while it's still hanging around in my body, or maybe tomorrow, maybe night, maybe the next hour, and I won't have the motivation to dig.

The article shouldn't be very long... because the content of this movie is actually not much.

I have to listen to songs when I write.While typing this article, I have been listening to the theme song "shape of my heart" specially created by veteran singer Sting for this movie.

It compares Leon's killer's technique to a game of poker, in which he uses Jack, Queen, and King in turn in a seemingly careless manner...but he has been searching hard for hearts. He has diamonds, spades, Plum blossoms, but no hearts.It's the same in the movie, maybe he still didn't find it in the end, but he already got the person who brought him the heart.

This is a lament dedicated to Leon, which runs through the entire film.

I want to tell about the redemption between two people.

More importantly, no more regrets at the end.

Maybe this distorts the truth of the story, maybe I ruined the classic when I wanted it to be perfect...but I can't restrain this obsession.

Ok.

Let us work together~~
