I watched The Professional for the first time in a hell of a long time. It’s a really good rewatch. I recommend it.
So Natalie Portman is 2 years older than me. I was probably the age she was when she filmed when I first saw it. The viewing experience as a 37 year old is far far different than it was when I was 13 or however old I was. Watching 12 year old Natalie Portman run around in, frankly, not much and trying to seduce Leon is way different now than it was then.
Awkwardness aside, the movie is a remarkably interesting look at the effects of traumatic childhood. And the idea of living for something (someone in this case). It’s really good. REALLY good.
I’d suggest to anybody to rewatch it.
