Natalie Portman spoke at the United Nations about violence against women. She posted it as an Instagram reel, I've mirrored it for those who don't want to access mainstream media.

Just rewatched Léon and it's an amazing experience to see Natalie Portman put in such a great performance at 12 years old.

I have this memory, maybe an incorrect memory, that for at least two Natalie Portman films after Léon, her character was still carrying around that plant until they finally ceremoniously planted it in a garden.

I guess it was an incorrect memory, but this was six years later in a clear reference: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0198021/mediaviewer/rm453309185.

Now watching Brothers because of Natalie Portman, even though she doesn't play one of the brothers. Sounds like she could be the stereotypical military wife, but we'll see how it goes.

Brothers (2009) - IMDb
Brothers: Directed by Jim Sheridan. With Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Sam Shepard. While on tour in Afghanistan, Sam's copter is shot down and he is presumed dead. Back home, it is his screw-up brother who looks after the family.IMDb
The story of the brother that was presumed dead is the more interesting one. I think the character of the wife failed to be written in an interesting way, she's just there to support the story of others. She spends a lot of time just looking at people and herding kids. I didn't like the stereotype of her warming to a guy the moment he's kind to her kids. The few moments the character is allowed emotions, Natalie does this well of course. I'd wish her feelings after learning her husband was dead could be explored more than that one scene when she's laying on her bed; the remainder of the time she has to put up a brave face for her family.

Obviously they've done (or will do) great stuff later too and some like Chloë and Jodie did even earlier, but these are all goosebump performances.
