“Nikita” is a turning point for Luc Besson, who drew on the tradition of French cinema and became a masterpiece.

Besson's muse and attractive men

However, Nikita also has emotions, and his emotional fragility causes him to shed tears frequently. When she was taken to a solitary confinement cell, when she was ordered to commit a murder in a restaurant, when Marco told her of his love for her during a secret mission, and when she saw the cruel side of the mission... When this film was released in theaters in Japan, it had the catchphrase "Crybaby Killer", which is a good copy.

Anne Parillaud, played by Besson, was also Besson's partner in his private life at the time. Anna Karina in Godard's work, Fanny Ardant in François Truffaut's work, Juliette Binoche in Léos Carax. At the time, Besson and Parillaud had a similar relationship as a muse to the genius of French cinema. This is probably not unrelated to the fact that this work is so romantic.

The two men who played the men who love Nikita are also memorable. Jean-Hugues Anglade, who played the role of Marco, also played the role of a herbivore in ``Betty Blue '', and his presence shines in this work as well, gaining popularity for his gentle personality. On the other hand, Checky Karyo, who plays Bob, is a quiet adult man. He is cold towards his mission and embodies the atmosphere of suppressing his feelings for her. The final scene where they confront each other was memorable and memorable.

Jean Reno is a regular actor in Besson's films and should not be forgotten. It is a well-known story that the assassin he played in this film, called "The Cleaner," was the inspiration for the main character in Besson's next film, " Léon: The Professional " (1994). Also, Jean Bouise, who has appeared in all Besson's films since ``The Last Battle,'' played the role of an embassy official, but passed away after filming ended. As stated at the beginning of the end credits, this film is dedicated to him.
