Leon - 180° Rule

The film Leon uses a certain scene to break the 180 degree rule to cause tension and uneasiness between the two characters. They do this to show how much Leon, the assassin, doesn't want the young girl to be involved with his surroundings. She dresses provocatively for her age and acts more mature than she really is. These qualities along with the camera angles throughout the scene really makes it tense to show there is a message behind the scene without it being verbally said.
