常常想，如果生活里没有复仇这两个字，里昂就可以与玛蒂达幸福快乐地在一起，直到时间慢慢让爱情如栀子花开，里昂会在柔软的床上安然入睡，等着女孩渐渐长成女人。可悲剧比喜剧更能在人心中深深烙印，所以导演要让他们在刚刚体会到生活里从未有过的喜悦时，便面临命运中毫不留情的死亡气息。于是受伤的里昂再一次在重重包围中救出玛蒂达，奋力劈开墙上狭小的通风管道，要玛蒂达带着他的兰花先走。当男人对女孩承诺他一定会脱险去找她从此远走高飞时，我们和他一样清楚这善意的谎言。那枪林弹雨中的第一声“我爱你”，就是最后的生离死别。
也曾有过叫人重燃希望的峰回路转，聪明的里昂假扮受伤的警员混出重围，一步步走向门口不远的光明。然而当杀死玛蒂达亲人的主谋警官在他身后举枪，我们知道导演没有给里昂最后的机会。轻柔的琴声里响起一声沉重的低音，镜头模糊，摇晃，冰冷地面上奄奄一息的杀手。然而，他终于还是为玛蒂达报了仇，惊天动地的爆炸声里，里昂轻轻阖上了沉静的眼睛。
他，就象Sting那首歌里唱的——……And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many facesThe mask I wear is one.
译：如果我告诉你：我爱你，
你可能会觉得那是假的，
然而，我并不是一个多面人，
我只是带着一张面具。
Well, those who speak know nothing And find out to their costLike those who curse their luck in too many placesAnd those who fear are lost.
译：那些自称什么都不知道的人，
最终发现了他们的价值所在，
那些处处埋怨自己命运的人，
他们的恐惧也逐渐消失
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldierI know that the clubs are weapons of warI know that diamonds mean money for this artBut that's not the shape of my heart……
译：我明了炮架后端的驻锄是士兵的剑，
我明了联盟是战争中最有利的武器，
我明了钻石代表着金钱，
但所有这些都不是我的本质
这样的一颗心，究竟有着怎样的形状，才能如铁石般坚强如山林般沉静，又如火焰般热烈如流水般温柔，叫40岁的杀手为了12岁女孩的爱情赴汤蹈火，令一双宁静的眼睛刚刚看见生命喜悦便从容地面对死亡……
而将那株里昂一样漂泊无根的兰花植入坚实的大地之后，玛蒂达未来的生活又将如何？带着过去的故事，谁还会再次打开她孤独的灵魂，看见那里澄清的湖水，湛蓝的天空和明亮的阳光……记得影片开始，玛蒂达问里昂：“人生好辛苦，还是长大就好了？”里昂简单地回答：“一直如此。”12岁的女孩啊，还有那么长那么长的人生旅途要走。
再听一遍《Shape of My Heart》，忍不住眼泪。
SHAPE OF MY HEART
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
