The analysis of "Professional Lyon" (this article is a film review of this not-so-cold killer) The meaning of life-I hope that "Professional Lyon" directed by luc besson is an attractive and infectious film. This is a story about a professional killer and a girl of 14 years old. In my opinion, this film reflects the influence of hope in people's lives. Life is a magical thing. It is like a dense forest. When we cross it, we need hope to guide us. Hope can change a person's mind. Hope can change a person's life. The first reason is the change between the settings from the beginning to the end. The film begins with a depressing urban landscape: roads, streets and alleys, and then the screen darkens. They are characteristic of film noir. In addition, the protagonist Leon appeared in a black shot, which is a special close-up. In addition, the following shots are fighting in some rooms. The whole beginning led to a feeling of indifference and depression. However, the film ends with an orphanage scene. The sun lit up the trees and grass. The scene is bright and warm. Then the camera gets farther and farther away. This shows that life goes on, and sunshine brings us hope for life. The world has become peaceful again, and the mood has become soft and comfortable. Therefore, the changes in the beginning and the end show that the darkness has passed and everyone has got hope. In this film, there is a symbol of hope-Leon's evergreen tree. It runs through the whole movie. The protagonist Leon, in fist, is a typical skilled and ruthless killer. Evergreen trees are the hope of life for him. This means that Leon's precious memory-the girl he loves. Every day he carefully cleans the leaves of evergreen trees. He thinks evergreen tree is quiet and happy, so he takes it as his most valuable thing to take care of. In fact, he lives in his own memory, and what he wants to protect is hope-evergreen trees. For Leon, reality didn't make any sense until he met the girl-Mathilda. Leon hesitated when the girl begged him to open the door. Yes, of course. Because everything will change since he opened the door. In fact, Leon is a simple, kind and careful person. He is not good at expressing himself. You can tell from watching old movies and ironing clothes. After accepting the girl, Leon chose the responsibility in his heart. His life has changed because his hopes have changed. The purpose of his life is to protect the girl and get back at Stan. Besides, his kindness was inspired by the girl's love. As a special relationship, they are interdependent. In fact, since meeting Matilda, Leon is no longer a killer. He is a real man. Mathilde's attitude towards life reflects another hope. Mathilde's family is not harmonious. She didn't feel love in this family, so she became unyielding and mature at an early age. She hates her relatives except her little brother. If she hadn't met Leon, her life would have been unimaginable. When Leon opened the door, a lamp shone on Mathilde. This light of life is a symbol of change. Since she lived with Leon, she felt Leon's concern and she fell in love with him. She wants to be with him forever. The hope of her life is Leon. She takes care of their home and takes care of him. When Leon ordered her to leave, she was in great pain. She knew that she would never see him again. She is afraid that the hope of life will disappear. Finally, she planted evergreen near the orphanage, and evergreen became her hope. She has a new view of the world, and she will miss Lyon who saved her life and soul. This story is a fairy tale about a killer. The murderer tried to protect his hope as the whole of his life, but he died in comfort. Perhaps there is another dark world hidden near us. However, this is because the light of hope does not illuminate it. And the meaning of life is the process of finding hope.
