Home Alone (1990)

   It’s time to prepare Merry Christmas.  About this time every year, Korean broadcasters always televise this movie, and every single lady and man watch this movie on Christmas. We remember all story of Kevin.

   Kevin is a kind of heroes in this movie. He is also the main character. He is the youngest of many children in the family, and the brothers and sisters left him out in the cold. Family regarded him as a troublemaker. He even wanted to live alone. One day, he fought to his brother who ate his pizza, and the mother drove him out of the room, and he went up to the attic. At that time, Kevin’s family and the guests planned to go to France, their relative’s country on Christmas break. However, at night the wind blew hard, and the electricity in the house was off. The family overslept, hurried to keep the flight time, and left Kevin in the loft.

   Next day, Kevin got up, and was greatly pleased because the family who bullied him was not there. In contrast, the mother cried out in surprise at his absence, but she couldn’t call him, and didn’t know what to do. In addition, the seats in airplanes were sold out. Kevin didn’t know about it, and just enjoyed the situation.

   Meanwhile, two burglars had eyes on his house. Kevin noticed it, and felt fear and loneliness. He got missing the family. On Christmas, he met a man who wore a Santa Clause Costume, and asked him to return his family to home rather than gifts. On the way to home, he met an old man, his neighbor who lived alone. Kevin’s brother had said that he is a horrible killer; in fact, he is a poor grandfather yet. He lived away from his sons and daughters. Kevin realized that he is not a bad guy, and even advised him to request reconciliation.

   Then Kevin returned to home, and devised a scheme to prevent his house from theft. He prepared to treat them. He sprinkled water on steps, utilized his brother’s spider, iron, paint, BB gun, etc. He salted them down with various tools. These scenes were very interesting and funny. Fortunately, the burglars were very stupid, and hurt very much in the scenes. They played the ridiculous. Finally, smart Kevin was caught by them, but the old neighbor appeared, and defeated two fools. Then the family returned, and the old man’s met their family again.

   As I’m writing this plot, I get missing my family in Korea. This movie is not only a Comic Movie, but also a Family Movie. It reminds me of preciousness of family again. If I was him, what would I do? I’m not sure. I would be just scared of them. I really admired Kevin and the director of this movie. Although time went, this movie is still one of the famous Christmas movies. It makes me happy and warm-hearted. I am likely to send Christmas time with this movie this year. It is really well made, so I give this movie five stars out of five stars.
