      "Home Alone" is one of the Best Comedies in the World

      Home Alone is, without a doubt, one of the best comedies in the world. Taking the plot of children bravely fighting villains as the main line, interspersed with the troubles of teenagers, family affection, and other branch lines, with American humor, it shows us the bravery, wit, and cleverness of teenagers, even in the face of villains who are like wolves and tigers. Uncompromising, and with the help of adults, he has defeated villains many times, using his ingenuity to play villains and...

      Home Alone--There Is Freedom With Guns

      As for the title, you can think that I'm telling a pun-y yellow joke. After all, men do appear to be more free than women.

      In fact, a gun can be a real gun, a pun gun, or a metaphysical gun. Sometimes the gun of spirit is also called courage. Courage has always been the first sign of a man, or at least advocated as a man's spirit-not the...

      thanks for this guy

      I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was in elementary school. Now when I grow up, I still remember some of the plots. The most impressive thing is probably Kevin's small body and great wisdom. At first, Kevin was still afraid of these two strangers. Later, he imitated himself as an adult and slowly began to grow stronger. The expression of such a child star did not make me feel exaggerated or even said that the acting is more mature and natural than the acting skills of...

      Home Alone movie review

      People only know how to cherish when they are lost, and the same is true of family. Kevin believes that there is a conflict between himself and his brother that will never be reconciled, and even tells his mother never to see her again. But when Kevin and his mother thought they were going to lose each other, they realized how important each other was. When I am in a difficult situation, my family is the first thing that comes to my mind. As children, sometimes because of disagreements with our...

    Evaluation action

    The attraction of "Home Alone" lies in the complexity under its simple appearance. If you are not careful, it can easily become a funny show rather than a good movie. But Columbus and his team gave the film a three-dimensional effect, increased emotional resonance, and instantly improved the quality. The two thieves, Marvin and Harry, can be regarded as intruders in the family. Little Kevin tried his best to stop them. In fact, it was...
