    Excellent description lol. Also can thoroughly recommend the 4K, but hard to beat this price for the blu!

      @Jake T - Which 4K BD release? The 4K versions available in the countries that this title has been released in are not all the same, for example the colour grading of the StudioCanal UK release is different to the colour grading of the Sony U.S. release.

        You’re right, and I’ll hazard to say both version will be an impressive step up from the bluray. I have the StudioCanal version because I prefer the cover and the fact it has Dolby Vision. But I haven’t seen the grades side-by-side to know which I prefer.

        It's a highly problematic relationship between a grown man and a 12 year old.

        The director has confirmed that the movie was inspired by his relationship with his second wife, whom he started dating when she was 15 and he was 32. He got her pregnant by age 16. (All on his Wikipedia page).

    I don't know anything about "script's original direction" but unless my memory fails me there was nothing creepy in the movie. Matilda was probably in love with Leon, but it wasn't reciprocal.

    • Ninternet on 02/09/2024 - 16:54

        I mean, why would it matter? In the original Cinderella story the pigeons pluck out stepsisters’ eyes, but that's not the version we watch these days. A movie is not its equivalent to its source material.

          That's… That's quite the false equivalency

            @Ninternet: How so? Please elaborate.

            • Ninternet on 02/09/2024 - 17:24

              @bio: I just don't see how animated animals committing an act of violence that is relevant to the story's subtext (even if it is excessive) and planning an intimate relationship between a middle-aged adult and a pre-pubescent child are the same level of moral indecency I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

              • bio on 02/09/2024 - 17:46
                +2

                @Ninternet: But the movie was not shot/cut that way. Again, I might be remembering this incorrectly as it's been a while, but it clearly indicated that the pre-pubescent child had a crush on the middle-aged adult, not the other way around.

                The script might have a totally different vibe, but that's irrelevant for someone who only watched the movie (a la Cinderella).

                  @bio: You can like the movie. As I've mentioned, I've not seen it. I was made aware of the controversies surrounding the script and director/his partner at the time and that's tainted my perspective.

                @Ninternet: II think you missed the point it's not about the subject of the difference. It is the difference is there and people measure the movie on its own merits not another version of the story that people hadn't seen.

        I'm going to invite you to come down from the hill you're currently defending. Stay on it if you want, but you might change your mind if you decide to research the original vision for this one.

    • drillvoice on 02/09/2024 - 17:05

      There was definitely some creepy stuff, maybe not the character of Leon, but more the character of the people making the film.

    • theknight27 on 02/09/2024 - 20:33

      I have seen the film and the relationship made me uncomfortable.

      The director has confirmed that the movie was inspired by his relationship with his second wife, whom he started dating when she was 15 and he was 32. He got her pregnant by age 16. (All on his Wikipedia page). So I feel that justifies the alarm bells the movie set off.

    Full transparency: haven't seen the movie. I hear people love it and think it's great. Unfortunately I heard about its "controversies" before getting the chance to form an 'independent' thought on the matter.

    Ordered this, though. Maybe one day I'll get around to actually watching it.

    Please enjoy the movies you want to enjoy

    Rewatched this a few months ago and it is pretty problematic. Liked it when I was younger but probably wouldn't be recommending it to anyone now, except to see Gary Oldman.

    Good price though.

      I've ordered it to tick it off the list of films people always seem to mention, but I may also not get around to it for a while. My collection is approaching 1000 titles and I don't necessarily see getting to this one as a priority

  • Cyphar on 02/09/2024 - 18:52

    I loved the movie, but I cannot watch it again. I felt like a dirty creep watching it. Natalie Portman played her role well, a role that shouldn't have been what it is. Still it is a fantastic vengeance movie and worth watching for those that haven't.

  • nige0090 on 02/09/2024 - 20:36

    I have seen different cuts which have different levels of creepiness…
    The first cut I saw, was not creepy, that I remember.
    A different longer cut, that I saw years later had an scene where Matilda does a like a virgin/Marilyn Monroe seductive dance for Leon, and persuades Leon to sleep in a/her bed instead of his usual chair. These did feel creepy and spoiled the movie a bit for me.

    But Gary Oldman was so good.
