OP

[(Anonymous)]

Err, I mean, I don't know if it makes any difference but I'm a 23 year old woman and I've loved this movie since I first saw it in the early 00's, so I first started shipping it when I was like around her age in the movie. I don't watch every movie I see and perv on kids or anything, but knee-jerk reactions like this are exactly why I submitted it as a secret, something I would never tell people.

I always really enjoyed Natalie Portman's acting in this movie, and this turned me onto other Luc Besson films (my personal favourite is The Fifth Element), and I mean...I think there are definitely things that shine through in the script that they didn't remove, since originally they were lovers in early drafts of the script (and yes, Mathilda was still 13/14 in the script), so I don't think I'm psychotic for seeing something that the audience was [i]intended[/i] to pick up on, even if they removed any overt evidence of consummation. Leon and Mathilda don't exactly have what can be called a father/child bond or anything.

I think if you were Natalie Portman's age when you first saw it then a bit of you is *always* her age when you rewatch it, which will add a subtext to your feelings.
