Há por aí tanta Lolita


Ganhou agora um Oscar mas aqui quando tinha apenas 13 anos fez um papel monumental que já indicava que tarde ou cedo o teria na algibeira.
Mas não foi um filme fácil e esteve envolvido em grande controvérsia muito fácil de perceber para quem o tenha visto, acredito mesmo que num futuro próximo graças á esterilização que se continua a exercer sobre a sociedade será proibido.
E, convenhamos, uma garota de 13 anos a pedir para ser inicializada sexualmente por um assassino profissional de 40 e tais tem que ser muito bem explicado.

Não se vai adiantar nada sobre este excepcional filme apenas maculado pelo exibicionismo da cena final (típica de Besson) que remete para um cartoon e que se não viram deverão ver mas apenas colocar uns apontamentos indispensáveis do IMDB que analisam, soberbamente, o mesmo.


Natalie Portman's parents were extremely worried about the smoking scenes in the film, and before they allowed Natalie agree to appear, they worked out a contract with Luc Besson which had strict mandates as regards the depiction of smoking; there could only be five smoking scenes in the film, Portman would never be seen to inhale or exhale smoke, and Mathilda would give up during the course of the film. If one watches the film closely, one can see that all of these mandates were rigidly adhered to; there are precisely five smoking scenes, Portman is never seen inhaling or drawing on a cigarette, nor is she ever seen exhaling smoke, and Mathilda does indeed give up during the course of the film (in the scene where the young boys charge her rent for sitting on the step).


The original script had more scenes with "awkward sexual tension" between Mathilda and Léon. These scenes were later cut out for the American release dubbed "The Professional", but were included in the 1996 European release, as well as in the deleted scenes of the special edition DVD. They were reintegrated back into the film for the 'International Cut', which is now available on DVD.


When the film was first tested in LA, the version that was screened incuded a short scene where Mathilda asks Léon to be her lover. However, the audience became extremely uncomfortable and began to laugh nervously, completely destroying the tone of the film. The film received terrible test scores at the screening, and as such, producer Patrice Ledoux and writer/director Luc Besson decided to cut the scene for theatrical release.
