Luc Besson's 1994 film Leon: The Professional is a feature with layered tension. As the assassin and the titular character Leon goes by his depressing life, there is a depressed 11 year old girl standing besides — Mathilda.

Man on Fire 2004 is Tony Scott's Leon: The Professional

Critics gave negative reviews to 2004 Tony Scott's film Man on Fire because of "grim story that gets harder to take the longer it goes on". Are you fucking serious? How then Lars Von Trier movies get good reviews? Something isn't quite right here. To be frank, the film is very ultra-cinematic. Which could rub some critics the wrong way. Scott doesn't just direct the shit out of it. He also edits the shit out of it. Making one of the coolest directed films in existence. Which if you think about it, isn't particularly what critics find as a serious picture. And yes, the film is grim. At times it feel like a horror film. Not just a thriller. But the film is a rather satisfactory experience.

Is "The BFG" 2016 about the Epstein files?

2016's Steven Spielberg movie The BFG ( or the Big Friendly Giant ) is about a relationship between a little girl ( played by Ruby Barnhill ) and a giant old man ( played by Sir Mark Rylance in his second collaboration with Spielberg ). At some point the movie becomes about a conspiracy to manipulate the Queen of England herself ( played by Penelope Wilton ) to use her help, so that haters of BFG's relationship with the girl will be defeated with military force. So obviously it begs the question: Is this movie actually about Jeffery Epstein?

Le Dernier Combat 1983 doesn't need subtitles

French 1983 Luc Besson film Le Dernier Combat has 2 spoken words throughout its 1 and a half hour runtime. Both of those words are Bonjour, which I bet you already know the meaning of. The film is about a post-apocalypse future where humans lost the ability to talk. The one time two characters in the film have an exchange of Bonjours doesn't even require the understanding of the word to get the impact. It's about them finally being able to utter a word. It is not about them exchanging information.

Rollerball 2002 at least attempted something

When looking at the poster of 2002 film Rollerball you ask yourself 2 questions: 1) Why somebody thought it would be a good idea? 2 ) Why this somebody is John McTiernan, the filmmaker that brought us classics like Predator and Die Hard?

Le Grand Bleu 1988 is Besson's Dolphin Porn

Luc Besson is known to be a little bit of a pervert. But I'm about to argue that, in addition to liking young women, he also has a sort of a fetish. And while with directors like Quentin Tarantino the fetish is something rather understandable ( Quentin likes feet ). Luc Besson seems to be turned on by... well... fish. And specifically by Dolphins. His 1988 film Le Grand Bleu is a love triangle between a young woman, an amphibian man, and a Dolphin ( which the film presents to be a mermaid ).

Leon The Professional

There are a couple of movies that are so dear to me that I keep watching the end credits all the way through. Often crying through them. And Leon: The Professional is one of those movies.
