The BIG thing you're leaving out is that the film is based on a book where he fucks her. I think in the director's cut the scene is included.

"I think"? Watch it. He doesn't. Stop spreading Fake News!

But, I agree the whole movie has a pedo subtext.

Thanks, it's not. There isn't a book, the director wrote the screenplay.

After researching, tha_Dude is maybe referring to the scene that was cut where she talks about having sex with him. That scene was cut out in some countries.

Yeah, sorry guys not trying to spread false info. It was in the international version:

The Missing Scene: The international cut of the film reveals that the night before that scene, Mathilda tried to coax Leon into making love to her, but he turned her down because he "wouldn't be a good lover" (apparently there are no laws about having sex with minors in other countries, but there are plenty of laws about doing it lousily). Well, the screenplay takes the wrongness even further by making it clear that, actually, he does sleep with her. While crying. Here's the scene:

"How beautiful it is seeing them sweetly making love" is an actual line that the screenwriter wrote. And no, she's isn't 30 instead of almost 13 in this draft.

How It Changes the Movie: For starters, this explains why Leon is so edgy the whole damn picture: On top of the corrupt DEA agent, he also had to be on the lookout for Child Protective Services busting his ass for pedophilia. But mainly, it confirms our hunch that there was something fishy going on in this movie all along. We'll never look at Luc Besson pictures the same way again.

I thought it was originally a book. I was wrong but not about the part in question.

That scene was never made. Sick anyway that it was in the script.

Also, it is implied they have sex in the regular version. She gets out of bed with his underwear on.

alloutwar ago

That is true actually. The underwear are huge now that I think of it. That makes me furious.

What? No. He doesn’t fuck her.

alloutwar ago

Wow. I had no idea.
