The movie can be regarded as a classic Hollywood text in the 90s. The little boy in "Home Alone" is quite cute in it. Does the glasses really change the temperament? The structure of the movie is more like "First Kiss". The marriage of the parents and the growth of the children are parallel, but here the children experience a painful parting, and the father restarts a marriage. It can be clearly seen from this. The return of the cultural family concept in the era (the father's dominant position in the family structure has also been re-recognized). At the beginning of the film, the confession of a little girl is used to intervene in the narrative. This kind of separation is easily reminiscent of youth films such as "Spring Is Not Reading Day". It is the child's rebellious character and true psychological direction. The overall tone of the film is biased towards a rich dark brown, which is not to cater to the nostalgic motif of the end of the 20th century (although this nostalgia is still displayed in the role of his father, he listens to the popular songs of the 70s and plays with outdated guests. Fruit game), but the way of manifesting the psychological reality of the girl’s family: On the surface, the father is engaged in funeral work, and the daughter has a fearless association with terminal illnesses, and as the story develops, we can learn that this indifferent mentality towards death It is false. Under the water, it is the trauma of the family environment caused by the early death of the mother. Therefore, the film is actually more inclined to another trend of the same period of American film: heavy or light, obsessed with the proposition of death. The biggest problem with the movie is the plot-based treatment. The boy's death has a strong purpose. It is artificial and cannot be integrated into the stream of life. The only reason he died from bee allergy was to complete the little girl's character arc, which pales in comparison with movies with similar motifs such as "Harlow and Mude" and "Mask". After the boy’s funeral, the girl swayed on the willow tree with dancing branches at sunset, which was the most beautiful scene in the movie.
