I don't know how many times I have watched film on my computer, but every time I watch it, I will have a different understanding. The English name of the film was Leon, but its Chinese translation is very funny, it deviates from the director's original idea to some extent. The film was written and directed by Luc Besson. It is a story happened among a girl from a narcotics bussinessman's family named Mathilda, a killer named Leon and a officer named Stansfield. The story is quite simple, Mathilda's family was all killed in a conflict of narcotics and she was rescued by Leon to be the only one alive but her four- year -old brother was killed by Stansfield. So she wanted to revenge and asked Leon be her teacher. Leon was a professional killer, he led a life though being hired by some people to kill somebody they disliked. One day Mathilda slipped into the building where Stansfield worked and felt like killing him, but unfortunately she was found. In order to save her, Leon killed the followers of Stanfield. But a few days later, Stansfield came to revenge with nearly two hundred people. Leon made Mathilda survive but he himself couldn't. He almost succeeded in surviving but was found by Stansfield at last. They perished together.
Many people think that the film mainly told us a story of a killer. The killer was influenced by Mathilda and had a life he had never led before, he could sleep in a bed and did not have to be awake in the night. He could have a normal life. But I don't think so. I suppose that it mainly tell us the director's opinion on revenge. People seem to revenge in the daily life, but the result of it is never good, both sides suffered a lot. Mathilda wanted to revenge for her brother but failed. Leon killed two people so as to save Mathilda but was revenged by Stansfield, both of them died. We should learn to forgive, learn to forget. Don't think of too much about the past, forgive others is to save yourself at the same time. Great wisdom is hidden in the little things happend everyday, we need to think and learn to have our own understanding. Leon said a wise sentence in the film"once you killed a person, your whole world would change".
So it's time to think of how to live in the world ourselves. Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow! Learn to be open-minded, learn to forgive! That is what I learned from the film :Leon~~

ReplyDeleteLuc Besson is a talent, I suppose.
I like the film too. Specifically, there are 2 extremely impressive characteristics. Firstly, cteated by both the plot of the story and the music, the rhythm of the film is so strong, especially when Mathilda(carrying the folwer) and Leon are walking in the wind. Secondly, the beauty of violence is expressed so vividly. For example, as Stansfield kills the family, he sings.
