What a weird movie. Tropes feel off because of the early 1990s. Tonally all over the place. Gary Oldman does the effete, weirdo psychokiller trope fairly well, sometimes veers into absurdity. Natalie Portman sure gets over the death of her family quickly. This movie is fucking ridiculous. Leon is every weird French guy in New York, though. That's accurate. Great, now Lolita overtones.
Millennial sophistication: lol shit is meaningless, let's get strident
Gen X sophistication: all sides are shit, a pox on their houses
Boomer sophistication: Freud!
Man, we really were just fine with overtly sexualizing minors until like 20 years ago.
