    Which is a plot point then used to excuse away the fact that they have an underage Natalie portman taking instructions from a pedo behind the camera. I’m hoping you’re not, but I’ve seen people use that to say it was ok in the context of the movie. Like, gross.

        I get that, but it’s unfortunately also an excuse for a lot of people

        Edit: the story could’ve still been told, we could’ve still heard about her trauma and how it affected her, without resorting to pedo shit. That’s the difference between a good director and a pedo who happens to be directing

          I get that. Also, apparently Jean Reno acted against the direction given by the director to allow for a character that wouldn’t take advantage of his situation, even if he intentionally played his character as an emotionally stunted man.

          Reno’s acting choices made the movie better because he didn’t go down that pedo hole.

            Yup, without that it honestly wouldn’t have been watchable. Get the pedo shit off the screen, but still have the trauma in the script, and you would’ve had a great movie
