i feel like its a rite of passage to see léon being hyped up as this amazing movie so you watch it and then go hmm. not sure about the portrayal of preteen girls in this one. and then you look into it and find out all the awful shit that got cut AND what luc besson's inspiration for making it was and you want to chew glass

#but like only a rite of passage for women i guess bc ive never seen any dudes describe having this happen except for myself.... half dude.#avpost #but like seriously why is this exact order of events so common #and then some defenders want to be like wah separate the art from the artist and its like #a lot of us actually didnt know the thing about besson before we watched the movie but the art is so fucking creepy we picked it up anyway.#kind of the least separable art and artist situation i can think of in a movie this acclaimed.#csa tw #<- alluded to. to be safe #sorry ive been thinking about leon the professional again for no real reason and just getting kind of mad.#let the record show this movie could have been good theres a lot of really good stuff about it #but its hard to fall in love with it when it keeps interrupting all the stuff i like to sexualize mathilda its DISGUSTING.
