Movie with pedo undercurrents, made by a pedo. After you realize he's a pedo, fifth element also makes more sense. Lilo is essentially a baby in a sexy body and everyone wants to fuck her.
Jeez....
He's out of line, but he's right.
I also miss my innocence from having watched a cut of Leon that made their relationship seem more innocent. Or maybe I just wasn't looking for it.
I've seen the more sexual tense awkward cut scenes and theories, but watching Leon I never attributed it more than "a young girl going through puberty forced to age quickly, see her family killed, find a confidant and established a bond she's confusing her attachment with." in the movie I watched Leon nips that sexual relationship thread in the bud. I've seen the alternatives where he does allow it but I thought that was just disturbed fan theories.
Sorry to be the one to break it to you about Luc Besson I guess?
Damn, I saw a few short scenes of it and it looked interesting. Oh well, there are other good movies.
