They are always mission-carrying, strong and capable, with a beautiful and mysterious charm.

Anna Parillo is a famous French film actress who has left nearly 30 works in the film world to be talked about. Speaking of Anna Parrio's film masterpiece, there is no better "Nikita" directed by Luc Besson in 1990!
"Nikita" not only made Anna Parillo, who played the heroine Nikita, famous and won numerous awards, but also enabled Luc Besson to start the creation of the theme of "female killer" as the theme of film shooting.
What you may not know is that Anna Parillo and Luc Besson actually had a short marriage, and the beautiful actress and the famous ghost director from love to separation are always shocking the headlines of international film and television entertainment.
Returning to the actress herself, Anna Parillo's acting skills are highly recognized by the world, especially the unruly and fierce female killer image she played in "Female Prisoner Nikita", which has left a deep and amazing impression on fans.
"Female Prisoner Nikita" describes a teenage bad girl who, after accidentally killing a policeman, becomes a female killer secretly cultivated by the state in order to avoid the death penalty. In one thrilling mission after another, Nikita desperately walks on the brink of death crisis, and also develops an extraordinary skill and perseverance.
As the plot of the movie progresses, in addition to being able to enjoy the exciting and wonderful martial arts scenes from the perspective of the female killer, the audience can feel that the role of Nikita is quite distinct and full, because under the cold-blooded arming, she will actually be fragile, sad, sensitive and suffer from love (after all, she is actually just a teenage girl... ）。
"Nikita the Female Prisoner" received unanimous positive affirmation from film critics after its release. The idea of emphasizing the humanity of killers has a profound and huge impact on subsequent killer-related movies.

Speaking of Luc Besson's masterpiece, it is not difficult to recall the popular killer movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" at that time. The development of the plot is not much to say, I think everyone must have seen it. And Natalie Portman, who played the role of the heroine at the age of 12, impressed many people with her over-age but innocent performance.
And the picture that most people use to make a GIF is probably the picture of Boman holding a gun to himself and tearfully saying "I love you, Leon", which makes many people admire this little child star for being able to interpret emotions so gently but bravely.
Although the film's broadcast time has now passed nearly 30 years, looking back at the special camera movement, framing methods, music and costume styling at that time, and the subtle acting skills between Natalie Portman and Jean Renault, people have to marvel at the delicacy of director Luc Besson in handling each picture.
After "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" began to receive attention, Natalie Portman's star journey was just about to begin. Not only did she win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress with "Stealing Hearts", but she also won the 83rd Academy Award for Best Actress with the ballet dancer Nina in the starring movie "Black Swan".
The Israeli-American actress, in addition to her highly recognized acting skills, also completed a bachelor's degree in psychology from Harvard University while filming, and is also committed to giving voice to the human rights movement. It is also interesting to say, at that time, she wanted to be a child star, but she had a big fight with her parents, crying that she would not "go crooked" like other child stars in the future, and her parents reluctantly let her embark on the road of acting, and thanks to this decision, we can see one excellent work after another.

Mila Jovovich, the "Sexy Witch" who became popular with the Resident Evil series of movies, is not only one of Luc Besson's favorite actresses, but also once his wife (I began to envy Luc Besson...). ）！
Although the marriage lasted only 3 years, the two actually spawned 2 classic works in film history in just 3 years. The science fiction classic "The Fifth Element" in 1997 and the epic film "Joan of Arc" in 1999, in two films with very different story styles, let the audience see not only the ambitions of Luc Besson, but also the different styles of heroines.
"The Fifth Element" became a hit with Mila Jovovich and became her important masterpiece. With short red hair, wearing a futuristic jumpsuit composed of white lines interlaced, and exposing a large area of skin, Mira plays a mysterious female avatar "Lilu", who is successfully copied and restored by humans because of a lost mechanical hand, and comes to Earth, under the heavy pursuit, fighting with the human male protagonist against the alien evil forces.
The Fifth Element was once the most expensive work in the history of French cinema and a huge commercial success around the world, arguably the most important and successful work of Luc Besson's career.
After the success of "The Fifth Element", the husband and wife of the time once again joined forces to launch a new work "Joan of Arc", and unexpectedly chose to adapt the historical story, deciding to tell the history between France and Britain from the perspective of the French, as well as depicting this extraordinary female warrior inspired by religion.
Mira took on the role of Joan of Arc, bringing a more fearless and heroic image of a female heroine, leading the French against the British, but was eventually betrayed by her own people and finally executed for heresy. However, after the release of the film, the evaluation was polarized, and even the box office failed, but there is no doubt that The heroine image of Mira Jovovich became more and more vivid during the period of cooperation with Luc Besson, establishing her post-film status.

In addition to the Marvel series masterpieces, fans are definitely impressed by Scarlett Johansson's performance in science fiction films in recent years! In 2014, Luc Besson released the sci-fi masterpiece "Superbody", which hired Scarlett Johansson as the heroine and fought against the gangsters.
Lucy was infused with super-powered drugs in her body, and her brain potential was gradually fully stimulated, becoming an invincible female killing god who exceeded the limitations of space.

Whether it's the glamorous witch in Suicide Squad or the supermodel on the runway, you should have been intimidated by Carla Divay's charm. Carla Divai, who has excelled in various fields, was portrayed by Luc Besson in 2016 as the heroine of "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars", and the wonderful martial arts performance in the film is the result of Carla Divai's strong action training before filming, and the professionalism is quite admirable.
In addition to walking the catwalk and acting, Carla Divai also likes to sing, rap, play drums and even play the guitar. With so much talent, one can't help but marvel at how much beauty can eat, but Carla Divai relies on talent!
Adapted from the famous French comic "Vareno", "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars" is the second time that Luc Besson has returned to the film world as a science fiction film after "The Fifth Element". This is also the first time that Carla Divai has starred as the heroine of a sci-fi action film, in which she transforms into a capable interstellar agent, traveling through space and time on missions to maintain world order.
The great fight duel is a highlight of the film, and Carla Divai once revealed in an interview that she felt very guilty about losing her hand and injuring the stuntman during a rehearsal. Although it is a regrettable accident, it can also be seen from this that the blood-boiling martial arts scenes of "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars" are real!

After "Superbody", in the newly created female killer "Anna" film created by director Luc Besson, the most anticipated thing is the handsome acting skills of the heroine Sasha Ruth. Sasha Ruth, who played the original model in Anna, was later recruited by the Soviet government as a professional Assassin, slowly revealing her hidden powers and secret origins in various missions.
Sasha Ruth, who easily handles all kinds of shapes (how can killing people make you see the real face) in the play, in the opponent scene with Helen Mirren, Kirlian Murphy, Luke Evans, superb acting skills have also been praised by many people, making people have to look forward to what kind of works this new generation of actresses will bring to everyone in the future!
