      No shit if you go on discussions about this movie on reddit there is a contingent of redditors who just go "Oh you got pedo vibes from this movie? You must be a weirdo, I love this movie and I got exactly 0 pedo vibes from it!" I'm just glad I watched the American version

    once dug up the screenplay to León / The Professional and my suspicion was confirmed that the implied sex in the movie is more clear in the screenplay

      From what I recall hearing about the film elsewhere, there was a more suggestive scene in the movie but it was cut

          Not anything explicit, no. iirc, the cut scene was him waking up next to her and him getting dressed while she sleeps, so...

          In a normal movie where the relationship was more similar to a father-daughter bond, that would be odd (maybe she had a nightmare?), but in one with overtones like this, it's bad

    One of the wierdest "this is how our culture really works" moments was realizing that raping kids has only really been considered morally wrong since the late 70s/early 80s, and even then a lot of people did not get the memo.

    That movie is definitely a problematic fav.

    Gary Oldman's performance is fucking amazing.

    Wow I just watched this movie for the first time like a week ago. good movie overall, but yeah, I had some massive WTF moments while watching. Definitely a pedophilic movie, and I wasn't at all suprised that the director was grooming a 12 year old at the time of making this, which just confirmed the general vibe of the movie.
