I know we’re supposed to just chuckle at the idea that a child is a psychopath, but there are a few legitimate holes with the meme:
The phone lines went down at the very beginning of the film from the snow storm that took a couple of days to fix.
Marv was doing recon in the beginning disguised as a cop and Kevin recognized him when he was being followed in the van.
Then the cops actually show up for a wellness check, but he doesn’t know they are real and is terrified that the burglars are coming back to break in.
Kevin tries numerous harmless, inventive ways of scaring them off first, like the big party or the movie dialogue with the firecrackers, but the burglars are so stupid and persistent, they FAFO by still entering the home, where he never kills either of them, but only then do they get hurt.
It may not be a flawless film, but this gaping plot hole that the meme describes isn’t quite accurate.
Also in the beginning he wishes he would wake up and his whole family would be gone. He wakes up and thinks his wish came true. He tells “Santa” later in that he wishes they would come back.
He doesn’t kill them because it is a movie, some of the “traps” were very deadly…
Ah, a fellow person of culture!
Go on and call the Chicago PD. See how safe you feel. Go on we’ll wait.
Sorta like how breaking bad could have been 1 episode if it was set in Canada
Why?
Socialized Health Care
Tbf Walter White already could have circumvented the entire show had he just sucked up his pride and accepted the money from his
sister in lawold work partners.
I distinctly remember the Wet Bandits cutting the phone line.
Yep. The meme seems to be created by someone who has a vague recollection of the movie, with assumptions of it being a lot simpler. There are a ton if plot holes in the movie, but this is not one of them.
And didn’t one of them show up at the house at the beginning dressed as a police officer? For all Kevin knew the police were in on it!
Kevin thought the police were violent thieves. Home Alone was accidentally based.
