![Nikita / Jeanne Moreau [ita]](/img/n.gif)
Today is a sign at this table in the "Le Train Bleu" restaurant, located inside Gare de Lyon train station: "Keep cool! You are sitting where Nikita got her gun" .
Truly a classic movie that has stood the test of time. I loved this movie, it will always be one of my favorites. I will give it to the French, they truly know how to tell a story.
And American 'remakes' make a mess out of everything.
I Agree, the original Besson's Nikita is much more better than the remake. This french movies has something of special, and the actress is perfect, i htink nobody could act as Nikita better than Anne Parillaud. She shows her fragile side and her strong side, she is beautiful, muscular enoug, killer and feminine.
And the restaurant scenes is great, i think one of the best in cinema's history, the short time and her surprise when she realized that was not having a normal dinner..
The story is perectium
I agree, the actor Are perfetikum, so Are the music, but the truth on war is hell, trust me
@@kirstinetermansen8360 I don't understand 'the truth on war is hell'... can you explain?
ua-cam.com/video/eIJlL-RNwIk/v-deo.html it's a scene for scene remake. the original has better visual poetry but this one was still ok because of the actors. it still had the "fitting" score.
I think youre not french. ..you don't know Anne Parillaud in France.But she's good in this film...In France,WE don't have the same "vécu*" if you know what I mean...
Can we pause for a moment and reflect on how excellent Anne Parillaud and Tchéky Karyo were at the table? Such a great movie.
oh, jeeze... . be quiet....
Tchéky Karyo, the evil guy in Kiss of the dragon.
incredible scene and the music is just perfect.
L'un des plus beau film de Luc Besson
Une pure merveille 🌟
I love this movie. Thank you for this unexpected remembrance
Now you know how Eric Serra and Tcheky Karyo got jobs in Goldeneye. After the middling result of Licence to Kill, the producers' jaws must have dropped when they saw this movie :)
I like Goldeneye a lot. The Casino style reminds to this restaurant style a lot.
Don’t knock Licence to Kill. It was somewhat antiquated for its time, but it holds up very well. Nikita was a far more foreword thinking film, whereas the Bond series was still rooted in tradition at the time. There isn’t much basis for comparison.
One of my favorite scenes in film history. Incredible.
Un de mes films préférés, on en fait plus des films comme ça......
Anne Parillaud, my favorite French actress and Nikita my favorite French film.
ah ouais ?
I remember I had a crush on her when I first saw this movie. And to this day, I still have a thing for girls with short hair haha
France lead histry,,,,perfektum
Years later, I saw her in a movie called Map of the Human Heart. She still had a lot of presence.
@@markhaviland9776 I'll have to look for that one.
Eric Serra is great. His music isn't subtle in terms background music but it enhances the mood of the moment. If you would've listened to his music of Goldeneye before seeing the movie, you'd have said "shit this is too electric" but it fits perfectly in the final cut. genius!
Did he do the music for Besson's "The Fifth Element" too? It sounds very similar in this scene to certain scenes in that film too.
Here the score sounds a bit Clockwork Orange
@@nickmaclachlan5178 Yes, Eric Serra has collaborated with Luc Besson multiple times.
this is just one of the finest movie ever, the directing and the acting are la creme de la creme..... and lets not forget the greate sound track from eric serra, this is amasing stuff...
Truth is a strong voice
amazing
Their acting is superb. She looked heartbroken when she understood he expected her to murder people.
I've seen two other movies with Anne Parillaud. She is a very underrated actress.
@@largol33t1 The actress and actor's reactions were believable. Their characters felt present in the story. The writer created a good framework and the main actress and actors breathed life into their roles. They were all outstanding, really fine. Their characters were cold blooded killers but the writing, and their outstanding acting skills, communicated nuance to the audience.
It is a very sad story, depicting a very sad lifestyle, but for much of the story it doesn't feel sad. The story demonstrates how compartmentalizing their work, the characters are able to function. Killing is their job, it apparently causes little angst, they've accepted they cannot get out of the trap they are in, and have adapted to it. We witness Nikita's adaptation during her birthday dinner: the death of innocence (even though she is a convicted murderer in the story, the actress plays her as innocent. To herself, Nikita is innocent). With her acceptance of her first assignment, we witness the birth of an assassin, a person forced to compartmentalize, a person who will do what she is forced to to survive.
After she graduates from assassin school, Nikita is so thrilled to be out of prison/training, she reaches for happiness and joy where she can find it, including the young, handsome grocery cashier, who is beyond thrilled she notices him. That part is sweet.
She is a slave, that's a horror. Her boss coldly telling her he will have her killed if she fails to obey, is a horror, though believable. The setup is believable: she murders an officer, her government believes she owes them her life. I do not believe that. She did not plan to murder anyone. She should've been allowed to serve 30 years, and been freed. The extrajudicial, abuse of power feels very believable. She should've served decades for killing. She should not have been made a slave because she committed a horrific crime as a young punk.
The film is her character's origin story as a forced trainee assassin, and how she compartmentalizes to survive. It shows her drive to live despite the horrible mistake she made, and the subsequent horrible life she is forced to endure. That part of the story feels true and unromanticized, that her youthful, horrific mistake could be exploited extrajudicially, to her detriment, for the rest of her life.
Revisiting her character when she is 60, if she is still alive, would be interesting. Would she have married, had a good marriage, had and raised children, become a grandmother, and remain a master assassin? How could that possibly work? Presumably money would not be an issue, the agency who owned her did not appear to keep her impoverished.
The story showcased much of her youth and exuberance. Nikita at 60 and a grandmother, how she could clear that with being an assassin, would've been interesting. Being present for a child, she could've done that, no problem. Teaching a child ethics as she murders for a living, I don't know how the writer could've written such a part. She would've still been shown compartmentalizing, I suppose.
Perhaps the writer would've shown her going after villians, as so many other films do. Perhaps, like the woman who trained her in prison, she would've eventually taught other assasins.
It is a good origin story, one of the better ones featuring a young woman. Nikita is gorgeous but the film focuses really on her youth, and her ability to compartmentalize, to find joy where she can, and her strong desire to live. It would've been interesting to see her middle aged. But as presented, she is a nuanced, anti-hero, slave, murderer. Usually films present stereotypical assassins. Nikita certainly isn't one. The writer, and the actress, made me care about the character. You are right, the actress is amazing. But really, it's a tragic story told stylishly: how a wild, out of control teenager is forced to become an assassin. Basically, a gun is held to her head. The agency who owns her are slavers and force her to murder whoever they demand, if she wants to live. It's a tragic story mostly not told tragically, but told as Nikita experiences it. It's point of view obscured what is being done to her. Forced to murder.
@@stacyhackney6100 Nice comment and description, thanks!
It wasn't that she was expected to kill. It was the realization that whatever joy she would have for the rest of her life would be at the mercy of this thing she had been remade into. It was the necessary nail in the coffin of her dreams. The realization that she was a slave, a mere servo mechanism, with no right to anything good.
One of the great "Oh crap!" moments of cinema there at the end.
Besson films are my favorites. This is one sick classic ❤🥰😍
Le meilleur film de Luc Besson
Nous aussi les français on peut faire de très bons films! merci à luc besson
My favourite film scene of all time!!!...an absolute masterpiece!!!....this is just so cool!!...Anne Parrilaud looks so beautiful and fragile, the girl every man wants!!....yet in a split second on being given instructions she is a deadly assassin and to kill is her only perogative. Forget Bond this lady would eat him for breakfast !! And Eric Serra's music is just so perfect it gives the scene the extra intensity and you are so on the edge of your seat wanting her to get out not realising that the rollercoaster ride has only just begun!!...absolutely brilliant!!!.
195Bucks And yet Bond has over 20 films. I agree this movie is real good, just no need to give it too much damn praise lol.
Bond is a pussy to this pussy!!!
I will take your analysis one step further....Parrilaud’s character regresses even further...almost child like in the way she holds onto and opens the present.
@@nobody_somewhere they are killing politicians, etc. not always bad guys.
in the movie she ended up there because she's a murderer and sociopath. in the tv series she's innocent. the guy doesn't like her at all to begin with.
I did pitied her. Here she thought she was invited to a nice restaurang, to celebrate her exam. It was apparently her first time as guest at a fine restaurant... She was so happy, so excited, so glad... She even got a gift!!! And suddenly; she was just used; it was just a mission... And she even not prepared, for example, not knowing where the gents toilet was...
i pity the people thinking the american version is better
really i do there is such a thing as personal taste yes but
when you eat shit dont tell me it taste good you can say i like shit thats fine just dont compare it to a masterpiece like this
ponr?
What a wonderfully directed and acted scene ... she is wonderful!
She was so stunning in this movie. Absolutely beautiful. That transformation from crying to focused was so spot on, it was scary. She was determined to see it through, even though initially she was scared.
Amazing scene. It makes one think about life.
Yes, and the editing from Besson is great as well. He's always been criticized by a part of the french media but fact is the guy is very talented.
mobbaddict real talk
the suspense scenes in leon were masterful. he was very talented
This movie kicked ass. Loved it.
Well, that was a real “working lunch”. A very good movie.
He ruined her whole birthday 😩
Another Great Scene. Great Music..
Filmed in Le Train Bleu, in The Gare de Lyon. Perhaps one of the best restaurants in France.
I did once eat there a few years ago, I do not have to tell you that we all check if the window was walled in the toilets 😂
Without doubt one of the best films ever made. There has been an american remake of this classic, and a series. But Anne Parillaud is and always will be the greatest Nikita, and that is by a country mile.
One of my all time favourite films.
part after she sees the bricked-up window is the best part of the scene!
Thank you for the cliff hanger
I want a present like that !, perfect for any occasion.
ah yes, back when Besson could write/direct a genuinely good and touching story...
Angela-A...was very poignant.
The ending is hilarious as the video cuts off after she opens the window to reveal a brick wall
No... The comment Are brinklayer
It was not hilarious.
Anne Parillaud was dead ringer for Audrey Hepburn in one scene of this film (later in the movie another restuarant scene where she comes in wearing a white wide brim hat with holes in it) spoooky...
This movie was cutting egde for it's time, the story line I found to be original. A must-see in my opinion for anyone serious about non-cookie cutter flicks. The final word "Cult classic"
edge
She plays so well
何度観ても最高👍👍👍
Awesome scene! Excellent cinematography and action scene! Anne Parrilaud's acting was convincing and had alot of depth! You didn't expect her to go through with the assassination, she seemed so cute, innocent and ladylike and then her training kicked in and then, Bam! She was a lethal assassin! On par with James Bond, Jason Borne, Mallory from "Haywire", Or John Wick! Girl Power!
He's great as a cop in Neil Jordan's The Good Thief with Nick Nolte. Very hip score to that film, too. Very.
The subtitles are paraphrasing what is actually said.
I won't blame hollywood to remake french movies as it's all about making money and you won't make much money with unknown actors/directors (Besson wasn't yet at this time), at least not in the US but I don't get how they achieve to often completely mess it up. There are much worse examples though, the biggest which comes to my mind is "dinner for smucks". Anyway, "la femme Nikita" was a great movie!
I agree; i didin't know about this musicians, but i always like the progression of the movie with the scene pathos.
Es muy grande, gracias Luc por darnos cine de tanta calidad, aprendez yankis
i love bob!!!!!!!! que hombre!!!!
Anne Parillaud nails it in EVERY FREAKIN' SCENE!!!
the weapon is a desert eagle.,with a 44.cal barrel, not a 50.cal barrel
Scène culte, encore une dans Nikita....
great movie
Watched this in French class in school
Need to find a copy, great film
Damn, I wish I was in that French class
You know, you can put your bag down...
Awesome line to use in a restaurant. lol.
the angles, the actors, the dialogue, the music, the pace, everything... what the hell happened to the movies these days?
Perfect cut on the shut Window😂😂😂
brilliant
Great film.
Wow!! I missed this one. THEY don't make like this anymore.
As a bilingual it triggers me to no end how the translation is completely erroneous and does not reflect in any way what's said in the movie. It needs to be redone entirely.
What abut the spaghetti flying in the kitchen?? what a pity, but masterpiece
A stronger movie than 'Leon' a.k.a. 'The Professional'.
Forget the professional did you ever see point of no return. Bridget Fonda the star of the film said herself she has no idea why they remade the movie, she also has no idea if she got paid for it.
un classique
It's a soldiers, story......
The veteran
I wish I’d seen the version first, didn’t even know this was the original
Desert Eagle is hardly a good weapon for assassinations. Big, heavy, loud, kicks like a mule and has limited ammo capacity. I would recommend Glock 17 for such endeavors.
Yeah well as much as you are right in a practical sense, a Desert Eagle has so much more on screen presence and “je ne sais quoi” than a Glock 17. And isn’t that the point of hyper real stylized action film like this.
I think the idea was, the targets had armor vests on them. so the murderers used a big gun with armor piercing ammo. Although Nikita was good enough to just shot them trough the head, easy peasy; and having a glock or beretta she could shoot several times if necessary. But I suppose it was also a demonstration: you have guards and personal body armor, and yet we do shoot straight through your best protections... Also, as this was really a test on Nikita, they didnt wanted she had lotsa of ammo. it would be too easy if she could just shot down ALL the guards. So she got just a few bullets, and was forced to use every bullet well.
They had to use a Dessert Eagle because the bodyguards and target probably wore vests. If you really want to kill someone you use a revolver.
Thank you for curating the weapons, John Wick.
this film look good :) i might check it out
i have only seen the hong kong remake of it and that is freaking excelent
the chinese remake is called Black Cat
I went to see 😮this movie at west village 😮I’m NYC , like a true trend setter , now I’m old fool , trend setting days done 😮but I love ❤️ nyc nightlife especially in the downtown area 😮, sad shame what it has turn out 😮
what difference from today's "strong female characters"
Gahdamn I love this movie
Lead is two and a half times the density of titanium, so there's no good reason to use titanium bullets instead of lead.
I think it was more about ' cinematic effect '
These two had great 👍 👌 👏 "Chemistry" on screen❤️"the last time I 💋 kiss you!"
Her realisation at 2:25.
She was expecting, hoping for, some gift of love. But she got a gift of death.
And then the transformation from a little girl opening an exciting present back into the trained, cold-blooded killer.
I bring you this gift of death so you know my words of love are false.
@@petermgruhn
Nonsense. He still loved her irrespective of the gift's nature. Love and business -- sure it's ideal to keep them separate, but not always possible or in fact desired.
There are so many levels to that scene. Remember, it followed on from the little setup table at the base which Nikita thought was a practice game. Then wham, straight into a killer mission.
What's stupid about this, he is known at the restaurant. Waiter asked 'The usual?'. The killer is sitting with him. He'd be connected to the murders IMMEDIATELY.
goddamnit the french have style to spare.
Even addicts can make the right decisions.
Giving a Desert Eagle for the first assassination assignment, well French intelligence doesn't mess around
I think that's because the VIP wore a bullet-proof vest. Also the reason why he tells her to shoot the guy twice and why the bullets are in titanium.
Who takes their Gloves off before Handling a Pistol , Committing an assassination. In Public.
I can’t find the crayon scene in french with a translation, can you upload it??
The original ANNA?
Good movie but the subtitle is a FAILURE.
Having worked in subtitling and being a native French speaker, I can assure you the subtitles are just fine. There's only a limited amount of space to write in the translation, so the challenge is to convey as much useful info as possible, while eliminating unnecessary words. For example, "une femme en robe orange et deux hommes en costumes clairs" was translated into "a woman and two men in suits". The colour of their clothing isn't important in this scene, especially since viewers would then see them, so no need to translate that. 11 words in French became just 7 words in English, so viewers spend less time reading and more time watching.
Dude!!! how did she escape!
Well kept secret so we will watch the movie
You see, a maquereau's love is very different than that of a square.
2;58 why take the gloves OFF?!! unless you're leaving the box with all your prints on it!!
Someone else copies this movie and it's called point of no return. I never realized that till now.
@spanishprisoner the lets welcome victor scene with the track is just perfect.. i dont understand y people have a go at him.. probably the reason y is not popular, is because no many people got fine taste nowdays is all about look ... sad really... love eric serra he produces the music exactly suited for the scene...
Nikita Sergeevich Chruchev!!!!
Avant garde movie
100% better then the American version. Love the way she calmly just gets up blows her mark away, and then calmly takes out he other goons shooting at her.
It's a movie , that's the way written in the scrip. Grow up.
The pub scene from 'Inglourious Basterds' reminds me a lot of this one. The similarities on the gestures when the waiter shows and pours the wine are quite noticiable.
Waiter asks dude if he wants his “usual”. Waiter knows about the gift and the girl. He is implicated…
Where is this Restaurant?
I havent seen this movie. Only the american version. I though it was okay. But why the fuck did they do a remake anyway? They did the remake like two years later? Its just for the money...I bet this movie is better, so I think I am going to buy it.
Oh, its the same with ''the girl with the dragon tatoo''.. why make a hollywood version of it when the swedish version is just fine.
I recognize Tcheky Karyo now.
А почему она оставила отпечатки своих прелестных пальчиков на подарочной корюкег ?
I hope that is just a troll comment, because there is no way anyone could be seriously thinking this.
YESS!!!
I love i Think i just film and then
Ha.. the window in the mens room goes down to the platforms..
2 hommes en costumes clair, sinon Tcheky il dit quoi ton ophtalmo?
At the bathroom window/blocked wall she must have realised they didn't care if she was killed or not, so long as she hit her target. Yes, it might have been a test of ruthless survival, but she wouldn't have thought that at that moment. She would have thought she was a disposable agent. Thus she was fkn angry when she got back to base.
A great film! The Pygmalion..with GUNS :D
