Kevin: *pulls out relvalver* Bandits: OH GOD PLEASE HAVE MERSY!!! Kevin:I lost all my Mersey. *PUW*I The guy nest door: I'll take that for 25$ Kevin: ok. For fifteen years longer a trade starts, they don't ask each other anything they just sell. Then Kevin was put on death row for the murder of the victims. Then all his family pees on his grave, the end.
@The Gray Ghost Right and the sequel even addresses this. Kevin rightfully calls him out for being a cheapskate and then Frank bitches the next day about the lousy "wake up call" like somehow it was their responsibility to wake his grown ass up.
Thought the same when he was talking about "Kevin shouldve known they were going on a trip that day, what time they were leaving, etc. Etc" and I remember days of going on vacation when i was younger waking up and being like "oh that's for today?" Like mom definitely had to tell me lol
She could also ring more than one person, like you ring a police ONCE? No neighboors, friends or ever a teacher she could call to take care or at lest check on her kid?
@@13mnpl15 To be fair, she DID have the aunt call up everyone in her address book while she was talking to the police. After she hung up with the police the aunt told her that no one answered.
I love home alone but I hate his parents. Even his parents treat him like trash. His family calls him a disease and even his parents don’t stick up for him.
Dylan Short when they joke in the second film about it being a family tradition and then bust up laughing about thankfully never losing their luggage I just think- arrest them now!
I like how when kevin says “everyone in this family hates me.” Instead of his mother assuring that they don’t hate him, like a parent should, she just responds with “maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.” Like what the hell?? That pretty much secures in Kevin’s mind that he’s hated, since kids are more likely to think that, and you affirm that idea in his head? It really pisses me off, since the movie later goes on to pretend she’s an amazing mom, but never addresses the fact that she basically told her 8 year old son that his family, including her, hates him.
Okay, so... Parents are people too. And sometimes we get frustrated and say the wrong thing to these little people we're completely responsible for. But we're doing our best and we try to make up for it when we know we've fucked up. Raising people is hard, especially because we all start out pretty selfish and stupid. Give us a break.
+Doodle Doddle Nope Everyone knows parents are people too and everyone knows parents make mistakes. The difference is what you do with the mistake. Do you act like nothing ever happened or do you apologize? In the movie, she not only basically told her child that everyone including her hates him- which is something that just shouldn't happen, even if you're just human and you make mistakes-, she also forgot him the very next day and only noticed much later. She doesn't regret anything she said to him and at the end of the movie, all he gets is a hug. Now of course it's possible that her character talked to him about all of this "off screen", and then it would be okay, but that's not canon, so we as viewers have to believe that she resolved all these issues by hugging Kevin and didn't bring his concerns about the family hating him up ever again.
I always hated them too, then grew up and still hated them. I kinda presumed it was filmed in a way where as a child, you were meant to empathize with Kevin and hate the mom, then as you age you understand the mom like you do your own parents but no... the family should have stayed gone
@@Jackylification for some reason, RUclips didn't notify me on the replies here but anyway, I agree. There are other movies that I watched as a kid where I hated the parents but later sympathized as an adult. But with these people, I see nothing that justifies their actions. Yeah, Kevin was a little brat, but children often act out when they feel left out or unloved.
Just realized- The Old Man's "Scowl" probably wasn't a scowl but rather a look of confusion to see Kevin still in town. Since Kevin's family and him are neighbors he likely saw everyone rushing out and piling into cars to go to the airport. Upon seeing Kevin at the store, he's confused why the youngest child of the family was left behind.
He was also scared of the police because he thought that Harry was actually associated with the police because he was dressed as a cop at the beginning of the film.
Stephanie Beeboo that’s what I used to think when I was a kid growing up in the 90’s plus if I was still a kid I would be creeped out like the ones who were in the movie.
How Kevin was forgotten is even worse because they left in the morning and when his mom finds out, it’s dark out the window. So they didn’t realize that Kevin was missing for around 12 hours...
@@larrytwd43 an adult that doesn't judge others basing on a picture? Would it make you more happy if it was a gigant juicy wiggling schlong you could look at?
You know in a week from now when Kevin gets into an argument with his mom, Kevin's gonna say, "Well, maybe I used the last batteries, but I didn't leave you home alone after going on a vacation across the world for almost a week!"
When you mentioned why Kevin didn't call the cops at 14:55, I saw a post stating that the first time Kevin saw Harry, he was dressed as a cop and he smiled at him, making Kevin notice his golden tooth. When Marv and Harry almost run him over, Harry smiles at him again and Kevin immediately notices the golden tooth and remembers him as the 'cop' in his house before, which is why he looked at him 'funny'. It could explain Kevin's distrust with the police and why he doesn't call the cops right away to his home.
Issa Beganović Yeah even silly movies have gotta be somewhat 'grounded in reality'. The first question they probably had to ask themselves while writing this was 'why doesn't he just call the cops'. They did a good job doing this in a subtle way.
There was also the whole toothbrush debacle. You have to look at it from an 8 year old's point of view. He could have been afraid of getting in trouble himself.
@@thectk1000 Yeah the dude in the video mentioned that, he said ‘is this the only reason Kevin didn’t call the cops to his home?’ And I was just adding onto that haha
I think it’s funny that as we all get older, we watch kids movies like we’re the English teacher over analyzing a simple poem to try and find a deeper meaning in it
Well the target audience isn't always the fan of movies. Like how my little pony was targeted for little girls but the majority of its fans aren't, same with barbie movies. Another example is pokemon games, who do you think played pokemon go when it came, adults or kids?
honestly, despite them being criminals and attempting to steal shit, they at least want him to be safe and not harm him. it’s way sadder when you realize that random petty criminals are way nicer to him than his own family
@@Hecatom they only really get murderous when Kevin's traps start to reveal themselves. they were willing to at least leave him alone if he stayed obedient
I'm surprised the police didn't do anything about his parents when they found out he was left home alone by his own family because they """""forgot""""" him. That should count as child neglect.
It's kinda sad that throughout the entire movie the old guy has been established to be a creep but he keeps a watchful eye over Kevin and treated him way better than any of his family ever did, especially when he was in danger. I was hoping he'd adopt him in the end and take him away from those nasty parents.
You bought into the RUclips mans bad opinion. This movie is a classic, it's great. Kevin's family arent evil, it's a movie for kids that's attempting to speak to kids and their fears..such as being left behind by the grown ups who live faster, busier lives, older siblings who think you're a cringey little kid and treat you like crap, being the young kid in a big family and being left out of stuff. It's relatable as a kid, and any reasonable adult should be able to recognise the movies target audience
@@danculbert6349 ok yes on some of that but its not JUST for the demographic, yes its dumb to think his parents didnt love him when the parents were stressed out their mind trying to get ready for the christmas rush and a flight the next day, but i wouldnt use the excuse "its for kids"
@Seth Mcfarly Well, I mean, the tone of the film is kid friendly. If it doesn't make sense or relate to the child audience, then it kinda fails. It's just relatable as a kid to feel like the grown ups in your life are leaving you behind at that age. You're not old enough to be taken seriously but not young enough to be mothered constantly. I know it works because I loved it as a kid. It just makes no sense to watch it as an adult and apply adult morals and logic to it.
@@danculbert6349dude the parents heard and saw Kevin’s cousins and siblings treating him like shit, his own mom said he should wish for another family they didn’t even notice he wasn’t there
Ah, Home Alone. A holiday classic about a boy who gets bullied by his emotionally abusive family and then gets left behind “accidentally” while the rest of the family goes to Paris, leaving the boy to fend off two creepy burglars and develop a pleasure of torture and traps from his family trauma and most likely grow up to become Saw😊 Such a holly jolly movie
It literally is a feel-good movie. In REALITY Kevin has a pretty shitty existence but the films tone is light hearted and fun. That's why when a steam iron lands on Joe Pescis head it doesn't cave in his f*ckin skull.
I'm really happy to hear that. Tarantula's are EXTREMELY fragile animals. They're also not aggressive and their bite isn't usually fatal unless you're really unlucky. Spiders get a really bad rep. :(
A little trivia about this movie: Macaulay's dad was infamously known to be a mentally abusive stage dad who was obsessed with making his kids Hollywood-famous and was also known to be very pushy with the filmmakers, including Columbus. Columbus found him so difficult that when he directed the Harry Potter movies he made sure that he hired child actors who's parents weren't as aggressive as Macaulay's dad.
Rewatching this movie always makes me sad. It's crazy how times change. As a kid, (same age as Kevin in this movie back then) i was so enthralled by this idea of getting left behind and chilling out on pizza and fighting burglars. But now as an adult, i realize how incredibly sad this is. Kevin being bullied and unloved by his family and parents. It's actually a depressing movie.
I always had a problem with how Kevin was treated. He was 8 years old and probably had some sort of ADHD and he was just treated so cruelly by his family. What exactly did he do to deserve being called names and harrassed and verbally abused by his family like that? Edit: honestly wouldnt be surprised if he took all of his bottle up frustrations out on the burglars. Trauma can make people sadistic in nature and Kevin probably has some mental scarring from his family's mistreatment.
@RunningOnEmpty Hmm it’s almost as if people with adhd are still different individuals with different personalities and different ways they deal with it
Having as much money as these people do will just automatically give you the balls to ignore a cop in your own home and endlessly bully and ignore the youngest member of the family.
I get that the "everyone hates Kevin" is supposed to be a "joke", but I didn't find it funny. It comes off more as mean spirited to me. Edit 10/21/2019: Whoa, this is the most liked comment I've ever had, thanks!
When I was young I didn't really have much feeling on the matter, I just wanted the movie to progress to the fun things kevin did with the wet bandits. 30 years on, now being an adult, an uncle, and matured beyond how a child would see these things, it is horrifying seeing how the family treats kevin, how all the siblings and cousins just gang up on him and the adults let it happen, holding contempt not for the selfish and entitled teens, but just focused on 1 child among dozens of them. What makes this worse? After the first movie expecting the grief the parents apparently were meant to go through abandoning their child, in the sequel the parents are right back treating their child like shit and allowing the other siblings and cousins to treat him like shit, and abandon him again at an airport. When I was young I use to love the scenes of kevin reuniting with his mother, but now, its hard to watch, especially in the sequel knowing she hasn't learnt shit, she doesn't deserve a second chance. The only people I feel for in these movies are old man marley, the pigeon lady, and kevin himself. Social services need to take kevin off this neglectful monsters.
I find it fascinating, GENUINELY fascinating, that a kids' movie that you loved as a kid has been tainted so much by your years of life experience. Like, the movie didn't change, it remains a movie for children, but you've decided to take your adult baggage with you. It's like returning to the ball pit you used to play in as a child and wondering why you no longer fit in it.
@@danculbert6349 that's what happens when you grow up and evolve, you see the world differently. When I was a teen I loved coffee and drank it each morning as a pick me up. Now as a 41 year old it gives me blood pressure problems
@Mr Orc Shaman Aye, but it's very weird to approach something designed to appeal to children with your big, rational adult brain. Kevin's family is neglectful because children often feel left out of large family gatherings full of older family members who move a lot faster. It's relatable to kids. It's not a film that's designed to be scrutinised as if it's a dark and serious human drama, and doing so is really strange
@danculbert6349 here's an idea let people think what they want I still love the movie all these years later but I despise the family who cares it's my thoughts and my enjoyment
It's especially weird that they didn't notice he was gone after such an eventful & annoying previous night... He would be even more fresh in their mind imo...
"You'd think at least someone would be like, 'hey where are your parents?'" Nope, it's called the bystander effect. It's not socially appropriate for an adult to approach a minor, especially an unattended one (who knows if their dad isn't just around the corner?) so they don't. Look at how many people who saw Jaime Bulger with those two kids around Kevin's age. They did nothing, didn't ask why two boys were dragging a baby down the street, or where the fuck their parents were, nada. Same with Kitty Genovese, people listened to her screams for help for half an hour and could have stopped her murder, but not one person thought to call the police or help. So that part of the movie is probably the most realistic lol.
Zambambo 92 idk when I was a kid any time I was alone for even a few minutes people would come up and ask me where my parents are, it’s one of the few times that the bystander effect normally doesn’t happen
@@TenderNoodle yeah I feel like back in the day before social media (when you didnt see constant cell phone videos of outrageous parents accusing people of talking to their kid, or trying them up in some manner, putting on some dramatic display in public) people were more personally social and DECENTLY MANNERED to one another, more neighborly you might say (and also before internet access to rampant stories of child abduction/abuse/murder that made people paranoid about ANY and EVERY stranger approaching their kid), people might have checked up on a lone kid more easily because they werent scared of being accused or ending up in a huge fight with the parents of the kid. Nowadays I think the only chance of a lone kid being checked up on is maybe by some super christian people, old people, and MAYBE a mom or two lol. Otherwise everyone is like "...wtf would I look like talking to that kid"
Well the cashier should've been asking him for his parents. In fact, I don't think it's legal to accept monetary transaction from an unsupervised minor, so the movie should've unraveled at the grocery store. But yeah when it's a random strangers on the streets, the bystander effect would've been in full swing.
You would be right if this movie was not in the 80-90s. Then it was perfectly fine for adults to care about children and talk to them. We would be playing on the streets unsupervised and the occasional adult will be checking if we were fine. What you are describing is more recent thing - the last 10-15 years. Back then people used to care about neighbors more.
Regarding Kevin going to the grocery store undisturbed by anyone else -- wasn't uncommon to send your kids in for you, when I was growing up. I did full grocery shops by myself as a kid, off of a list of course. Different times indeed!
@@Mike-qz4by Haha oh man... When I was in first or second grade or something, the parents would carpool us kids to wherever our field trip was set... we absolutely had enough seats in the vehicle but one of the parents totally just stuck a handful of us in the boot end of their SUV, no restraints lol... Ah, the 90s...
I had a teacher who’d regularly send kids out to the grocery store or post office to get her food (she was morbidly obese..) or pick up packages for her during class. This was like 2009 though…
How come when the mother calls the police to go check on Kevin the police are like “you want us to send an officer to check on him” is it really a weird question?
And given that the mom wants to check on the kid wouldn’t the officer have probable cause to enter as a welfare check for a child who has at that point been alone for a day and will be alone for longer?
Was about to say that I don't get why they wouldn't waste their time checking up on a kid when they literally was estatic in the beginning about checking on their security, but then I remembered that wasnt a cop.
How do not notice that the most annoying person is missing? *Unless they did and the kids were like* Kid 1: hey I'm noticing a lack annoyance, is Kevin missin- Kid 2: sshh! Don't mention him the parents will remember him!! Kid 1: your right, let's abandon him.
That happened during a field trip. The most annoying kid in the class wandered off and when everyone realized she wasn't there, started giggling and shushing each other. Unlike the movie, one girl DID have a conscience and was all "No, you guys...!" before she alerted the teacher.
I always hated the beginning of this movie specifically because of this. I feel like literally his whole family bullied and picked on Kevin and NEVER said anything. It never sat right with me.
I always interpreted the old man's look in the store as "Hey, I recognize you. Didn't your family just leave the country on vacation? Why are you still here?!?"
I always thought that Kevin didn't call the police because Harry was dressed like (and either pretending to be or actually is) a policeman, so he didn't trust them and didn't call them until he had no other option
Maybe.. But he was also shown to be afraid of the police on the first day. And I'm pretty sure the toothbrush scene was only added to give Kevin a reason not to call the police hence the "I'm a criminal" line and him changing his voice over the phone.
I also entertained the notion that Harry isn't a crook posing as a cop, but is in fact a crooked cop. Marv might be a guy he busted once and let go in exchange for a "favor," i.e. helping him in his schemes.
The way Kevin was treated always upset me as a kid, I went through something similar. They're essentially gaslighting him, one of the most frustrating methods of abuse.
You're making realize something, I loved this movie because I identify with Kevin and I used to think it was because he was smart but it's actually because he was bullied so much
I was always seriously bothered that the uncle called Kevin a little jerk in front of everyone, using just the most disgusted tone of voice, and like, his parents just ACCEPT it?? If another adult spoke to my kid like that I would lose it.
@Ben No! The phones were not doen, dumbass. The phone guy said it would only take a couple days to patch them up and Kevin clearly ordered Pizza, dumbass.
6:06 Kevin's dad knows kevin is not there and he threw Kevin's boarding pass at pizza scene. He didn't tell anyone that Kevin is not there and he didn't go to get Kevin back he clearly hates Kevin
@@davidsumner7604 Because those children won't pay for their retirement funds when they're older. You wouldn't be surprised what us humans are capable of doing for some money.
Literally every scene with Kevin's family makes me cry. Not in the, "aw, I hope things work out" or "what a sweet family" type of way, but in disgust. A good ending to this movie would have been Kevin getting taken away from that poor excuse of a family because *yikes*
Mate, it's a kids movie, stop applying dark human drama logic to it. You're the type of guy to watch Lord of the Rings and ask how Gondor gets it's food.
Yes, because being thrown into the foster system is a happy ending bahahahah this movie IS A KIDS MOVIE. the fact you're "crying" about it...wow. just wow. Please get therapy lol
When the van almost hits kevin and he makes that face, it’s because he sees the golden tooth, and realizes that its the same guy that was dressed as a cop at his house the other night.
PsychoticPichu To Kevin, he remembered his weird smile and gold tooth. He probably saw the tooth as a weird thing and maybe uncommon to him.(just a theory)
I never saw Kevin as a brat. He kind of reminds me a little of how I was treated growing up. I was the youngest of the household, but considered the 'responsible one' when it was convenient, so when my older brother picked on me and I stood up for myself, I was the one criticized because I was supposed to know better, while he was barely told off every now and then. It wasn't as bad as Kevin, the adults were on my side sometimes, but it always sucked that I got the worst of both worlds by being the baby and the responsible one, while he was oldest and no one expected anything from him. He straight up ate my birthday cake one year when I was sick and couldn't eat any. They literally saved me a piece with my NAME ON IT for when I was feeling better, and he ate it, because the pieces he got the day before weren't enough. If ever there was a moment I could point to to show how crappy a sibling he was, this was it. I'm still mad about it. I can totally relate to the frustration and suppressed violent rage Kevin had.
Man, that sucks. I'm so sorry for you. Your family is a bit of an opposite from mine (and maybe many others) because as the oldest, you'll always take the brunt of the "little siblings/cousins" that were there with you. Whenever I got into a fight with my older brother or cousins, the adults side with me. But if I, in some ways, influenced my younger sister or cousins badly I'll get scolded for it even if I had stopped doing the trouble and those little kids were doing it all by themselves because they thought it was fun. I actually had a somewhat middle child syndrome. My brother, being a brat he was which slowly made our parents got used to it, always had the freedom using money. My sister, being youngest, was the darling of my parents, especially our mom. Our mom bought her a pack of books one day when my parents picked me off the school and I asked who was that for? For my sis, ofc, when I lacked books for notes myself. I asked her where's mine? And she said it was for my sis only bcause my mom promised her about it. I bluntly told her than she promised me a lot of things too but never once she bought anything for me. But ONE request from my sis and she bought it. I was pretty pissed with it and still is, because in my memory, even when I was around my sis' age, I never got treated as nicely. But I had learned to let it go.
Kevin’s family bullying him and his mom blaming him brings back so many memories... My younger cousin used to beat me all the time, she often spat on my face too, and broke my toys. And I couldn’t do anything, cause if I did, her dad and my grandma would scold me and blame me. Sometimes they would blame my mom too!
Kevin's family abuse him they're dicks they're dumb as fucking hell too many kids they fucked up they're stupid I Fucking hate this movie now fuck these people
Oh hell yeah, if you're getting abused by everyone in the house just get some burglars to solve the problem Btw i love how this film basically racionalises emotional abuse and frames kevin as the bitchy one
No, I think the viewers are meant to empathize with Kevin and his unfair treatment. But at the same time they were trying to show that the reason for this unfair treatment was that his parents are overstressed, and that under less-fraught circumstances they'd have been sympathetic to Kevin. I think that having the mother say that part about wishing for a new family was pushing the envelope too far, though. She just seems so calmly malicious in that scene, that it's hard to excuse what she said. If she'd seemed to be on her last nerve and shouting, it would have worked better.
The lesson of the movie is that Kevin needs to appreciate his family more... but that his family needs to appreciate him more as well. UNFORTUNATELY that lesson is unlearned in the sequel.
I hate people who don't seem to fucking care when children say they hate them ask them why they think that KEVINS LIKE EIGHT WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE ALL BEEN RAISED BY KARKAT AND ARE JUST ASSHOLES WHY IS IT SO it just pisses me off on how this is too real omg
That's the moment that pissed off the most. The minute a family insults my son for no reason, he receives a chair in the chair, and has to get the hell out of the place. That dad is a gigantic pussy for not saying anything.
I wish there was like an alternate universe where Kevin actually teams up with the Burglars and becomes a part of their team and travels around the country with them robbing houses. 💀
Great vid as always man, as a spider nerd I just wanna put some stuff about the tarantula, if there's anyone else that likes them as much as I do and got peeved by it lol. 1. That tarantula is Aphonopelma seemanni, an extremely docile species with a very weak venom. Probably why it was used for the shot. 2. Tarantulas are venomous, not poisonous. If they were poisonous, all the people in Indonesia who eat them would be dead by now. They use their venom to kill and digest their prey. 3. You cannot devemonate a tarantula without seriously injuring the animal and impairing its ability to feed. The only way to do this would be to remove it's fangs, which would grow back in it's next molt. Without their fangs, tarantulas cannot catch, kill, hold on to, and digest their prey. Tarantula keepers who have their spiders lose fangs in a molt need to liquify insects and drop them in their mouth with an eyedropper in order for the spider to be able to eat. So, no tarantula should ever be devemonated. People who keep them, like me, just deal with it and people who need them for movies, shows, music videos, etc. should use docile species with weak venom, like they did here. This is super nerdy but, just felt like sharing since tarantulas are some of my favorite animals :)
Semi-arachnaphobe here, slowly warming up to spiders (Thanks Jumping spider with your water droplet hats and cute faces!) I was so glad to hear that they did treat the spider humanely. To add more to your very informative nerdiness I think people should know that tarantula's are extremely fragile. Do not ever drop a spider of that size. They have an exoskeleton that does the job, but not from heights. Their abdomen can rupture even from a foot fall. If you are truly unsure about handling them, it's best you try to keep calm and always have someone on hand who can grab them safely if you get too squicked out. In any interaction with an animal, try to remember that only a handful of any given species on the planet are truly aggressive. Most just want to chill and live their lives and don't wanna cause you any trouble. They like living as much as we do.
Sadly, the movie seems like more about how his constant abuse turns him into a demented kid willing to literally kill two burglars, that actually never intended to harm him...
The way kevin was treated in the beginning of the movie makes me feel sick whenever i rewatch this movie. It reminds me of how my sister treats her eldest daughter. And I see how it affects her and impacts her emotionally. However I do still love this movie even tho rewatching the beginning as an adult doesn’t sit well with me... the rest is pretty enjoyable.
@@laide3184 "Hey! Treat your daughter better!" "Oh.. I didn't even think about that, i completely forgot!" "No worries, it's all thanks to a RUclips comment suggesting it!" *everyone is happy cheering*
Do something about it then dickhead, you think you bitching about it on the internet is going to do anything about it? Help that girl before its too late.
The way your niece is being treated is like how my parents don't listen to me because I'm a teen and my parents are treating my blue belt in karate athletic younger brother better! I'm pissed at them today as well! They punished me for my brother going off at me yesterday and took away my Xbox one privileges DESPITE ME DOING JACK DIDDLY SHIT YESTERDAY other than playing fallout 76
Szűcs Balázs Oh shut the hell up, I was just asking a question. The way here oldest niece is being treated is not good, so stop fucking whining you baby. 😑😑
I actually liked that they had the Dad throw away the tickets, the random neighbor get counted, and for them to rush through the airport. Most movies would just ignore all that mess to set up a story. At least this one tried to fill the plot hole.
To be fair, this was still the time period where a kid could wander around the neighborhood all they wanted so long as they were back before dinner. Also, this is the time of year where the sun sets by 4:30. It's probably only 5 'o-clock when Kevin goes to see Santa.
I have major arachnophobia, but wouldn't mind knowing more about tarantulas. So they deaf, huh? That kinda makes it a little worse cause if u scream or attempt something they won't hear or even be aware with their scary 8 legged selves...
I'm so glad someone else noticed how it was so weird that the mom just decided to join the road trip with all those guys like I felt it was so unsafe and weird
Home Alone, an example of how a kids movie can easily be changed to a horror movie a few tweaks Kids movie: Two idiodic robbers try to attack a child in his house, filled with traps Horror movie: Two grown, stronger than normal men try to kill a lonely child stuck in his own house, filled with deadly traps.
Red Menace 0 Home alone kids: Kid makes fun little traps. Home alone horror: Kid does attempted murder. Kids Movie: Kid was bullied by his family, then show that he is really smart. Horror movie: Kid was abused by his family, slowly turns in to a psychopath.
I did that as a kid a couple of times on accident. I still dont kniw why that piece of wood with a nail in it was just, around, but I remember it going through my red converse lol
Someone stole my gameboy and most of my gameboy games.(which was like Mario, mega man and Tetris)My parents refused to let me buy another or video games so one of the first things I did after moving out was buy a ds and a bunch of games.
I still find it funny that the kid who came up with great plans to torture some robbers, some of the tricks almost could've killed the guys. But he can't pack a suitcase
You have to just love how after taking an iron to the face, a paint can to the face, falling on his head after that thing on the stairs, and probably hitting his face off the side of the house, this old man with an aluminum snow shovel can put Marv down for the count. I mean, Harry takes some pretty nasty hits, like the paint can to the head and a crowbar to the chest, but Marv is like... basically indestructible by this point and a snow shovel is what puts him down. Yeah, OK.
*it's messed up because when I watched this movie as a child I completely missed the abuse because i myself was being abused and thought it was normal.* it's crazy
I've always interpreted Kevin's will to hurt the bandits as a way to cope with his feels of anger towards his family. And the speed and know how he had with the traps was because he already had them planned for a long time, to use against his cousins.
@@eliraeclipse2435 It's. A. Fucking. Joke. If there was an IQ for detecting jokes the average RUclipsr would have one somewhere in the negatives because they don't just not get jokes, they think things very fucking obviously that aren't jokes are actually jokes. In all fairness there's probably still a lot of holdover fans from Leafy's channel and Elvis's commentary videos so most people in the comments here are below 17
I think the MOST nonsensical thing about this movie is that while there WERE 15 people in the house and they overslept and had to rush to get to their plane on time, there were FOUR adults in that house (Kevin's parents and his aunt and uncle) and not ONE of them thought to check and make sure that what looked to be one of the youngest children was with the group. You would THINK that at least the mothers would make sure that the younger children was seated close to them on the plane so they could keep an eye on them. But no....the family gets ALL THE WAY to Paris....disembark from the plane....and it takes the youngest child realizing that Kevin wasn't there before any of the adults finally figured out that Kevin was not with them. And indeed, this happens, not once, but TWICE. Because they do it in the second movie too. lol
You're right, but I've seen parents delegate that kind of responsibility to older kids for younger kids that way. Then get mad if the older kid messes it up, because you know, its not like they're a freaking kid themselves!
The rose colored glasses part is so true. I remember loving the 101 Dalmatians 1996 remake because we had it on VHS, and I loved seeing the dogs- watched it again the other night and it’s pretty awful. The dogs are the only good thing about the movie- the 1961 cartoon version is 1000xs better.
Being a person who has suffered mental abuse makes watching this movie now a bit uncomfortable. As a kid you don't really think about it to much because you focus on how cool it would be to have a whole house to yourself and making traps.
Worked as a cashier for ten years, never had anyone get offended at me saying Merry Christmas. But then, the store told us to start saying Happy Holidays and I got screamed at multiple times about "TAKING THE CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS" so....
most telling part of your story is you never asked them ''why ?'' (i mean if they would flip out over that question being asked... i don't think they are mentally stable....why work for someone like that...sounds like a liability too me.... ) i remember a past employer wanted me too keep attending fire drills (every six months) first thing in the morning on my day off.....keep in mind i already went a few times... and the first thing outta the government dude's mouth everything is.... you don't have too save anyone.... legally you can just walk out of the building if you wish... you aren't responsible for anyone else....(rightfully so..... i'm not a fireman... didn't sign up for that) so i told my employer that shit...they threatened me.... with something.... docking my shifts or something...it wasn't fired... they weren't brave enough too try that.... lmao... anyway .... i stopped attending....and they huffed and puffed but then the holidays came back around and they needed the extra hands.. thus they had too get over it.... lmao... you are only a slave if you allow yourself too be man.....and not questioning shit.... is your first step their...just saying....

@The Gray Ghost Right and the sequel even addresses this. Kevin rightfully calls him out for being a cheapskate and then Frank bitches the next day about the lousy "wake up call" like somehow it was their responsibility to wake his grown ass up.
@Right To Censor and given the general attitude this family has towards Kevin they'd still probably blame him for it somehow.

I like how when kevin says “everyone in this family hates me.”
Instead of his mother assuring that they don’t hate him, like a parent should, she just responds with “maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.”
Like what the hell?? That pretty much secures in Kevin’s mind that he’s hated, since kids are more likely to think that, and you affirm that idea in his head?
It really pisses me off, since the movie later goes on to pretend she’s an amazing mom, but never addresses the fact that she basically told her 8 year old son that his family, including her, hates him.
Okay, so...
Parents are people too. And sometimes we get frustrated and say the wrong thing to these little people we're completely responsible for. But we're doing our best and we try to make up for it when we know we've fucked up. Raising people is hard, especially because we all start out pretty selfish and stupid. Give us a break.
#daddyo5
+Doodle Doddle Nope Everyone knows parents are people too and everyone knows parents make mistakes. The difference is what you do with the mistake. Do you act like nothing ever happened or do you apologize?
In the movie, she not only basically told her child that everyone including her hates him- which is something that just shouldn't happen, even if you're just human and you make mistakes-, she also forgot him the very next day and only noticed much later. She doesn't regret anything she said to him and at the end of the movie, all he gets is a hug. Now of course it's possible that her character talked to him about all of this "off screen", and then it would be okay, but that's not canon, so we as viewers have to believe that she resolved all these issues by hugging Kevin and didn't bring his concerns about the family hating him up ever again.

good thing your username has 'nope' at the end of it, because that's a very adequate response to your comment
I've always hated the family, even as a kid I've always questioned why they treated him like that.
Hee Hee, then you wouldn't like my family!
Huh yeah I wonder why I thought maybe it could be that *Kevin's adopted that's why they hate him*
I know me too and that's saying a lot because I was abused as a child so I tended to normalize that behavior. But it was still so fucking infuriating.
I always hated them too, then grew up and still hated them. I kinda presumed it was filmed in a way where as a child, you were meant to empathize with Kevin and hate the mom, then as you age you understand the mom like you do your own parents but no... the family should have stayed gone
@@Jackylification for some reason, RUclips didn't notify me on the replies here but anyway, I agree.
There are other movies that I watched as a kid where I hated the parents but later sympathized as an adult. But with these people, I see nothing that justifies their actions. Yeah, Kevin was a little brat, but children often act out when they feel left out or unloved.
Just realized- The Old Man's "Scowl" probably wasn't a scowl but rather a look of confusion to see Kevin still in town. Since Kevin's family and him are neighbors he likely saw everyone rushing out and piling into cars to go to the airport. Upon seeing Kevin at the store, he's confused why the youngest child of the family was left behind.
He saw Kevin Home Alone before that, dumbass.
In my headcanon: After Home Alone 2, Social Services took Kevin away and put him into foster care with the Kramer family and changed his name to John.
Yeah
Please yes
And then they decided that since he was already so familiar with NYC, they'd send him there to live with his wacky Uncle Cosmo.
Is that a saw reference I see?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He was also scared of the police because he thought that Harry was actually associated with the police because he was dressed as a cop at the beginning of the film.
haven't watched in ages but i remember him being scared of them accusing him of another prank call...
But he still called the cops later, so...
I thought he was scared of the Joe Pesci cop is because of those creepy teeth
Stephanie Beeboo that’s what I used to think when I was a kid growing up in the 90’s plus if I was still a kid I would be creeped out like the ones who were in the movie.

When you mentioned why Kevin didn't call the cops at 14:55, I saw a post stating that the first time Kevin saw Harry, he was dressed as a cop and he smiled at him, making Kevin notice his golden tooth. When Marv and Harry almost run him over, Harry smiles at him again and Kevin immediately notices the golden tooth and remembers him as the 'cop' in his house before, which is why he looked at him 'funny'. It could explain Kevin's distrust with the police and why he doesn't call the cops right away to his home.
For a movie aiming to be as silly as possible (and starting an unfortunate and washed up 90's movie trend), that's pretty clever.
Issa Beganović Yeah even silly movies have gotta be somewhat 'grounded in reality'. The first question they probably had to ask themselves while writing this was 'why doesn't he just call the cops'. They did a good job doing this in a subtle way.
I like how they wrote the dynamic between the kid and the random dudes breaking in better than the personalities of the family.
There was also the whole toothbrush debacle. You have to look at it from an 8 year old's point of view. He could have been afraid of getting in trouble himself.

I'm surprised the police didn't do anything about his parents when they found out he was left home alone by his own family because they """""forgot""""" him. That should count as child neglect.
It's kinda sad that throughout the entire movie the old guy has been established to be a creep but he keeps a watchful eye over Kevin and treated him way better than any of his family ever did, especially when he was in danger. I was hoping he'd adopt him in the end and take him away from those nasty parents.
You bought into the RUclips mans bad opinion. This movie is a classic, it's great. Kevin's family arent evil, it's a movie for kids that's attempting to speak to kids and their fears..such as being left behind by the grown ups who live faster, busier lives, older siblings who think you're a cringey little kid and treat you like crap, being the young kid in a big family and being left out of stuff. It's relatable as a kid, and any reasonable adult should be able to recognise the movies target audience
@@danculbert6349 ok yes on some of that but its not JUST for the demographic, yes its dumb to think his parents didnt love him when the parents were stressed out their mind trying to get ready for the christmas rush and a flight the next day, but i wouldnt use the excuse "its for kids"
@Seth Mcfarly Well, I mean, the tone of the film is kid friendly. If it doesn't make sense or relate to the child audience, then it kinda fails. It's just relatable as a kid to feel like the grown ups in your life are leaving you behind at that age. You're not old enough to be taken seriously but not young enough to be mothered constantly. I know it works because I loved it as a kid. It just makes no sense to watch it as an adult and apply adult morals and logic to it.

A little trivia about this movie: Macaulay's dad was infamously known to be a mentally abusive stage dad who was obsessed with making his kids Hollywood-famous and was also known to be very pushy with the filmmakers, including Columbus. Columbus found him so difficult that when he directed the Harry Potter movies he made sure that he hired child actors who's parents weren't as aggressive as Macaulay's dad.
Damn. It’s no wonder Macaulay went through a whole drug phase when he got older. Glad he’s doing fine now.

I always had a problem with how Kevin was treated. He was 8 years old and probably had some sort of ADHD and he was just treated so cruelly by his family. What exactly did he do to deserve being called names and harrassed and verbally abused by his family like that?

@@BEANSBEANSBEANS404 you can like it now
Oh, definitely.
what is that
When I was young I didn't really have much feeling on the matter, I just wanted the movie to progress to the fun things kevin did with the wet bandits.
30 years on, now being an adult, an uncle, and matured beyond how a child would see these things, it is horrifying seeing how the family treats kevin, how all the siblings and cousins just gang up on him and the adults let it happen, holding contempt not for the selfish and entitled teens, but just focused on 1 child among dozens of them.
What makes this worse? After the first movie expecting the grief the parents apparently were meant to go through abandoning their child, in the sequel the parents are right back treating their child like shit and allowing the other siblings and cousins to treat him like shit, and abandon him again at an airport.
When I was young I use to love the scenes of kevin reuniting with his mother, but now, its hard to watch, especially in the sequel knowing she hasn't learnt shit, she doesn't deserve a second chance. The only people I feel for in these movies are old man marley, the pigeon lady, and kevin himself. Social services need to take kevin off this neglectful monsters.
I find it fascinating, GENUINELY fascinating, that a kids' movie that you loved as a kid has been tainted so much by your years of life experience.
Like, the movie didn't change, it remains a movie for children, but you've decided to take your adult baggage with you.
It's like returning to the ball pit you used to play in as a child and wondering why you no longer fit in it.
@@danculbert6349 that's what happens when you grow up and evolve, you see the world differently. When I was a teen I loved coffee and drank it each morning as a pick me up. Now as a 41 year old it gives me blood pressure problems
@Mr Orc Shaman Aye, but it's very weird to approach something designed to appeal to children with your big, rational adult brain. Kevin's family is neglectful because children often feel left out of large family gatherings full of older family members who move a lot faster. It's relatable to kids.
It's not a film that's designed to be scrutinised as if it's a dark and serious human drama, and doing so is really strange
@danculbert6349 here's an idea let people think what they want I still love the movie all these years later but I despise the family who cares it's my thoughts and my enjoyment
It's especially weird that they didn't notice he was gone after such an eventful & annoying previous night... He would be even more fresh in their mind imo...

SuperPopTartz i don't remember anymore, knowing her, she probably freaked out about thay tii
"You'd think at least someone would be like, 'hey where are your parents?'" Nope, it's called the bystander effect. It's not socially appropriate for an adult to approach a minor, especially an unattended one (who knows if their dad isn't just around the corner?) so they don't. Look at how many people who saw Jaime Bulger with those two kids around Kevin's age. They did nothing, didn't ask why two boys were dragging a baby down the street, or where the fuck their parents were, nada. Same with Kitty Genovese, people listened to her screams for help for half an hour and could have stopped her murder, but not one person thought to call the police or help. So that part of the movie is probably the most realistic lol.
Zambambo 92 idk when I was a kid any time I was alone for even a few minutes people would come up and ask me where my parents are, it’s one of the few times that the bystander effect normally doesn’t happen
@@TenderNoodle yeah I feel like back in the day before social media (when you didnt see constant cell phone videos of outrageous parents accusing people of talking to their kid, or trying them up in some manner, putting on some dramatic display in public) people were more personally social and DECENTLY MANNERED to one another, more neighborly you might say (and also before internet access to rampant stories of child abduction/abuse/murder that made people paranoid about ANY and EVERY stranger approaching their kid), people might have checked up on a lone kid more easily because they werent scared of being accused or ending up in a huge fight with the parents of the kid.
Nowadays I think the only chance of a lone kid being checked up on is maybe by some super christian people, old people, and MAYBE a mom or two lol. Otherwise everyone is like "...wtf would I look like talking to that kid"
Well the cashier should've been asking him for his parents. In fact, I don't think it's legal to accept monetary transaction from an unsupervised minor, so the movie should've unraveled at the grocery store. But yeah when it's a random strangers on the streets, the bystander effect would've been in full swing.
Becky the Kitty story was manipulated to make it sound more interesting
You would be right if this movie was not in the 80-90s. Then it was perfectly fine for adults to care about children and talk to them. We would be playing on the streets unsupervised and the occasional adult will be checking if we were fine.
What you are describing is more recent thing - the last 10-15 years.
Back then people used to care about neighbors more.
Regarding Kevin going to the grocery store undisturbed by anyone else -- wasn't uncommon to send your kids in for you, when I was growing up. I did full grocery shops by myself as a kid, off of a list of course. Different times indeed!
In the 90s I had a friend whose dad gave him a note to give to the cashier for cigarettes. Under 10 yrs old and selling us cigarettes.

How come when the mother calls the police to go check on Kevin the police are like “you want us to send an officer to check on him” is it really a weird question?
And given that the mom wants to check on the kid wouldn’t the officer have probable cause to enter as a welfare check for a child who has at that point been alone for a day and will be alone for longer?
Was about to say that I don't get why they wouldn't waste their time checking up on a kid when they literally was estatic in the beginning about checking on their security, but then I remembered that wasnt a cop.
To the police, yes it is.
@@killerkitten7534 cops would totally be calling dhr on the mccalisters after hanging up with mom lol
The police in the movie are lazy shit head
How do not notice that the most annoying person is missing?
*Unless they did and the kids were like*
Kid 1: hey I'm noticing a lack annoyance, is Kevin missin-
Kid 2: sshh! Don't mention him the parents will remember him!!
Kid 1: your right, let's abandon him.
Greatest siblings ever definitely not b- **gets shot**
They just fucking hate him someone fucking noticed they're not so stupid they just left his ass there the dumb fucks
no one wants to be the student that reminds the teacher that there was homework
honestly considering how they are in the movie this isn’t even a stretch it’s actually very feasible
That happened during a field trip. The most annoying kid in the class wandered off and when everyone realized she wasn't there, started giggling and shushing each other. Unlike the movie, one girl DID have a conscience and was all "No, you guys...!" before she alerted the teacher.
People say Kevin is a brat but honestly if my family treated me like this I’d do my best to get on their nerves as payback
Ikr?
I always hated the beginning of this movie specifically because of this. I feel like literally his whole family bullied and picked on Kevin and NEVER said anything. It never sat right with me.
They were basically crying over spilled milk more than when they realized their own son was home alone.
Are you an only child??? That's siblings for you
@@xavierradel6548 My sister doesn't have a mean bone in her body, but my cousins, on the other hand...
*literally crying over spilled milk- and Soda!
I'm actually not an only child but my parents prohibited us from fighting/ being disrespectful to one another. Otherwise we'd all get whooped.
By the way, kids do actually occasionally like running like that. For some reason.
Wth
Wat
Kids have to have some way to burn off all that energy.
It is more that kids like to just do things. That is a crazy run, why do it? Because running crazy is awesome!
I spun around in circles for half an hour as a kid.
I always interpreted the old man's look in the store as "Hey, I recognize you. Didn't your family just leave the country on vacation? Why are you still here?!?"
That makes way more sense
Just to suffer?
"Kevin, you're such a disease!"
Like, holy shit, how cruel!
Single child? lol
That is not something you say to your sibling and i should know. I have three. Are you ok lol?
One of the kids in the movie: "You're hopeless!"
Kevin: proceeds to beat burglars with traps around the house.
Only thing drivin me nuts is Elvis calls the attic window a basement window XD
He probably killed the burgulars 10 times over.
If only Megan knew...
Perfect character development
Then years later he becomes jigsaw
I always thought that Kevin didn't call the police because Harry was dressed like (and either pretending to be or actually is) a policeman, so he didn't trust them and didn't call them until he had no other option
I never thought about that! That makes so much sense!
Maybe.. But he was also shown to be afraid of the police on the first day. And I'm pretty sure the toothbrush scene was only added to give Kevin a reason not to call the police hence the "I'm a criminal" line and him changing his voice over the phone.
he's scared because they think it's a hoax so he needs to catch the illusive criminals with traps first...
I also entertained the notion that Harry isn't a crook posing as a cop, but is in fact a crooked cop. Marv might be a guy he busted once and let go in exchange for a "favor," i.e. helping him in his schemes.
The way Kevin was treated always upset me as a kid, I went through something similar. They're essentially gaslighting him, one of the most frustrating methods of abuse.
Yea.
Yea.
I feel your pain. HUGS! :(
You're making realize something, I loved this movie because I identify with Kevin and I used to think it was because he was smart but it's actually because he was bullied so much
Yea
I was always seriously bothered that the uncle called Kevin a little jerk in front of everyone, using just the most disgusted tone of voice, and like, his parents just ACCEPT it?? If another adult spoke to my kid like that I would lose it.
Kevin didn’t want to call the cops immediately, he tortured them, he TORTURED them, and THEN he called the cops
Boss move 😎
he had to take his aggression out somehow. remember: his entire family
weren’t the phones down ?? also the only cop he knows turned out to be the burglar maybe he didn’t trust them
@Ben
No! The phones were not doen, dumbass. The phone guy said it would only take a couple days to patch them up and Kevin clearly ordered Pizza, dumbass.
@@MrParkerman6 lmao did you just call me a dumbass with bad grammar because i missed a detail in a movie from thirty years ago
Who drinks milk in Solo cups with pizza?! That's the real crime here.
Because of scenes like that in movies, I just thought Americans just drank milk with everything! 😂
Natalie Kate we try to drink soda with everything
Mary Jonsson they were drinking milk because they needed to get rid of it so it didn’t go off while they’re away that’s what Kate says
Honestly as a kid I drank milk with everything lmao. I guess public school ruined me in unforeseen ways.
Better than pizza with pineapple
6:06 Kevin's dad knows kevin is not there and he threw Kevin's boarding pass at pizza scene. He didn't tell anyone that Kevin is not there and he didn't go to get Kevin back he clearly hates Kevin

When the van almost hits kevin and he makes that face, it’s because he sees the golden tooth, and realizes that its the same guy that was dressed as a cop at his house the other night.
I wondered. I figured the "cop" was just the bald wet bandit
Kevin is incredibly perceptive

The Negative Demon Under Your Bed • 3 years ago they are talking about Kevin bullying the wet bandits
I never saw Kevin as a brat. He kind of reminds me a little of how I was treated growing up. I was the youngest of the household, but considered the 'responsible one' when it was convenient, so when my older brother picked on me and I stood up for myself, I was the one criticized because I was supposed to know better, while he was barely told off every now and then. It wasn't as bad as Kevin, the adults were on my side sometimes, but it always sucked that I got the worst of both worlds by being the baby and the responsible one, while he was oldest and no one expected anything from him. He straight up ate my birthday cake one year when I was sick and couldn't eat any. They literally saved me a piece with my NAME ON IT for when I was feeling better, and he ate it, because the pieces he got the day before weren't enough. If ever there was a moment I could point to to show how crappy a sibling he was, this was it. I'm still mad about it. I can totally relate to the frustration and suppressed violent rage Kevin had.
Man, that sucks. I'm so sorry for you. Your family is a bit of an opposite from mine (and maybe many others) because as the oldest, you'll always take the brunt of the "little siblings/cousins" that were there with you. Whenever I got into a fight with my older brother or cousins, the adults side with me. But if I, in some ways, influenced my younger sister or cousins badly I'll get scolded for it even if I had stopped doing the trouble and those little kids were doing it all by themselves because they thought it was fun.
I actually had a somewhat middle child syndrome. My brother, being a brat he was which slowly made our parents got used to it, always had the freedom using money. My sister, being youngest, was the darling of my parents, especially our mom. Our mom bought her a pack of books one day when my parents picked me off the school and I asked who was that for? For my sis, ofc, when I lacked books for notes myself. I asked her where's mine? And she said it was for my sis only bcause my mom promised her about it. I bluntly told her than she promised me a lot of things too but never once she bought anything for me. But ONE request from my sis and she bought it. I was pretty pissed with it and still is, because in my memory, even when I was around my sis' age, I never got treated as nicely. But I had learned to let it go.
damn thats a bruh moment
jesus
i'm so sorry
@Kane The Critic are you going to say that to EVERYONE who posts a story about their life?
@@rachelciel3330 Your family sucks. Do not talk to them forever.
Kevin’s family bullying him and his mom blaming him brings back so many memories...
My younger cousin used to beat me all the time, she often spat on my face too, and broke my toys. And I couldn’t do anything, cause if I did, her dad and my grandma would scold me and blame me. Sometimes they would blame my mom too!
I'm starting to look at this movie in a different perspective now...
Kevin's family abuse him they're dicks they're dumb as fucking hell too many kids they fucked up they're stupid I Fucking hate this movie now fuck these people
Oh hell yeah, if you're getting abused by everyone in the house just get some burglars to solve the problem
Btw i love how this film basically racionalises emotional abuse and frames kevin as the bitchy one
No, I think the viewers are meant to empathize with Kevin and his unfair treatment. But at the same time they were trying to show that the reason for this unfair treatment was that his parents are overstressed, and that under less-fraught circumstances they'd have been sympathetic to Kevin. I think that having the mother say that part about wishing for a new family was pushing the envelope too far, though. She just seems so calmly malicious in that scene, that it's hard to excuse what she said. If she'd seemed to be on her last nerve and shouting, it would have worked better.
The lesson of the movie is that Kevin needs to appreciate his family more... but that his family needs to appreciate him more as well. UNFORTUNATELY that lesson is unlearned in the sequel.
I hate people who don't seem to fucking care when children say they hate them ask them why they think that KEVINS LIKE EIGHT WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE ALL BEEN RAISED BY KARKAT AND ARE JUST ASSHOLES WHY IS IT SO it just pisses me off on how this is too real omg
Being abused doesn't mean you can't be a bitch, especially if you only bitch about it and do nothing
Uncle directly insults innocent nephew, fathers' response: Kevin, upstairs! Lol Gee... thanks dad.
That's the moment that pissed off the most. The minute a family insults my son for no reason, he receives a chair in the chair, and has to get the hell out of the place. That dad is a gigantic pussy for not saying anything.
I loved How kevin put him in hes place in the 2 movie
Yeah, Frank 100% had it coming XD
I wish there was like an alternate universe where Kevin actually teams up with the Burglars and becomes a part of their team and travels around the country with them robbing houses. 💀
....and all the cheese Pizzas they could eat!
Great vid as always man, as a spider nerd I just wanna put some stuff about the tarantula, if there's anyone else that likes them as much as I do and got peeved by it lol.
1. That tarantula is Aphonopelma seemanni, an extremely docile species with a very weak venom. Probably why it was used for the shot.
2. Tarantulas are venomous, not poisonous. If they were poisonous, all the people in Indonesia who eat them would be dead by now. They use their venom to kill and digest their prey.
3. You cannot devemonate a tarantula without seriously injuring the animal and impairing its ability to feed. The only way to do this would be to remove it's fangs, which would grow back in it's next molt. Without their fangs, tarantulas cannot catch, kill, hold on to, and digest their prey. Tarantula keepers who have their spiders lose fangs in a molt need to liquify insects and drop them in their mouth with an eyedropper in order for the spider to be able to eat. So, no tarantula should ever be devemonated. People who keep them, like me, just deal with it and people who need them for movies, shows, music videos, etc. should use docile species with weak venom, like they did here.
This is super nerdy but, just felt like sharing since tarantulas are some of my favorite animals :)
K
Semi-arachnaphobe here, slowly warming up to spiders (Thanks Jumping spider with your water droplet hats and cute faces!) I was so glad to hear that they did treat the spider humanely.
To add more to your very informative nerdiness I think people should know that tarantula's are extremely fragile. Do not ever drop a spider of that size. They have an exoskeleton that does the job, but not from heights. Their abdomen can rupture even from a foot fall. If you are truly unsure about handling them, it's best you try to keep calm and always have someone on hand who can grab them safely if you get too squicked out. In any interaction with an animal, try to remember that only a handful of any given species on the planet are truly aggressive. Most just want to chill and live their lives and don't wanna cause you any trouble. They like living as much as we do.

The way kevin was treated in the beginning of the movie makes me feel sick whenever i rewatch this movie. It reminds me of how my sister treats her eldest daughter. And I see how it affects her and impacts her emotionally.

The thing about the scream was a straight up lie, the scream was added in post in order to not traumatize the spider.
Colby that’s not a lie they just don’t want to traumatize a spider
Ok so when I made that comment I hadn’t got to the part Elvis said that tarantulas were deaf
thats kinda wholesome tho 🥺

You know after seeing Home Alone, I can see how Kevin became Jigsaw. His family did it.
I think the MOST nonsensical thing about this movie is that while there WERE 15 people in the house and they overslept and had to rush to get to their plane on time, there were FOUR adults in that house (Kevin's parents and his aunt and uncle) and not ONE of them thought to check and make sure that what looked to be one of the youngest children was with the group. You would THINK that at least the mothers would make sure that the younger children was seated close to them on the plane so they could keep an eye on them. But no....the family gets ALL THE WAY to Paris....disembark from the plane....and it takes the youngest child realizing that Kevin wasn't there before any of the adults finally figured out that Kevin was not with them. And indeed, this happens, not once, but TWICE. Because they do it in the second movie too. lol
CeltycSparrow I can understand his uncle not doing it because he was an asshole
You're right, but I've seen parents delegate that kind of responsibility to older kids for younger kids that way. Then get mad if the older kid messes it up, because you know, its not like they're a freaking kid themselves!
