* Is it weird that this troper considers Léon's ultimate decision not to just MercyKill Mathilda as one?
** Not at all. He's been trained pretty much his entire adult life to quash any shred of emotion he has, and when he wakes up to kill her, he seems to have a "What the hell am I doing, letting her get close?!" look on his face. He gets the gun, screws on the suppressor, puts it to her head... and just snaps out of it. Despite what he is and what he's done, he's still a human being, and she's still a little girl. What's more Heartwarming than that?

That one scene where Mathilda plays Russian Roulette. Goddamit that scene. This troper had never cried at a movie before, and is not about to start now; but that scene just hit him a bit too hard than it should have.
