DAY 15 – June 2, 2009
It’s summer! We went to the beach and spent the whole afternoon there.
Things aren’t fine. Not a bed of roses even you some people see it. There are torn and dried leaves that are scattered. You may not see it but I feel it.
Late in the evening I decided to watch a movie in my notebook. The title is “LEON, The Professional”. It is a French English-language 1994 dramatic crime film and I was surprise cos Natalie Portman is there. It is her first staring film.
Mathilda, 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. 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 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 unexperienced 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.
