Have you ever seen Léon aka The Professional? Basically, Writer/Director Luc Besson admits he has a thing for very, very young girls, twelve or thirteen. In real life, he had a girlfriend at the time who was maybe fifteen when it was shot... Maiwenn... and Léon is on many levels a love letter to her. Interestingly enough, Maiwenn appears in the behind the scenes documentary about how the film was made (she is the prostitute in the opening 5 minutes) in the recent DVD rerelease.Originally Posted by Alex Bragi
But it isn't illicit... and young Natalie Portman (this was her first film) doesn't appear nude. The most scandalous moments are, Matilda appears dressed up as Madonna, puts on a dress for Léon's pleasure, and gets drunk in a restaurant and demands that Léon kiss her.
It's also one of my favorite love stories. While I love it, I'm not sexually attracted to young girls, and I don't condone Luc Besson's behavior... but I think he makes an excellent case for the relationship between Matilda and Léon (if not Maiwenn and Luc). They have an affair of the heart.
For this reason, I don't want the idea of child porn banned... I just want actual child porn banned.
