Skdhsjdhsk okay Home Alone discourse? xD I recognize this is a joke but Iām jumping into the shark pit regardless because I just love this movie and wanna talk about it so HERE GOES
Lol so yeah actually the phone line argument is a bit confusing because yeah the phones are down at first, but they obviously were fixed at some point since his family tried to call him from the airport in Paris or later on he wouldnāt be able to order pizzas or call the cops from his house at the end of the whole attempted robbery night, so there IS the question of why Kevinās family doesnāt keep trying to call him daily.
HOWEVER, as people have already mentioned, Kevin thinks heās a criminal due to stealing a toothbrush and has already been chased by a cop, heās not gonna contact the police about the robbers.
Calling the police about his family leaving him? Heās not gonna do that because he doesnāt KNOW theyāre in Paris, Kevin believes he magically wished his family out of existence the night before they left after they were all right dicks to him. He doesnāt know they have the power to come back, thatās why he asks Santa to return them later on, what use is telling the cops who (in his eyes) will probably blame him for it?
Also ppl be criticizing him for the booby traps like this isnāt the THIRD time Kevinās had to chase these guys off his property? First he tried to fake a house party, they still came back, he tried to fake a MURDER, they spied on him and declared they were coming back again. Kevinās given them two nonviolent chances to leave his house alone, theyāre the grown men deciding theyāre gonna come back and rob a house they KNOW has an eight year old in it. They announce their presence by knocking and taunting that they know heās alone and āhelplessā in there and that theyāre coming in anyway, what their original plans for dealing with him were, we donāt know. After they spring his first traps, their plan switches from robbing the house to specifically harming Kevin in revenge.
These guys are trespassing on Kevinās property AGAIN after multiple warnings, and theyāve announced themselves with a declaration of intent to harm him, he canāt call the police or theyāll discover he vanished his family and committed toothbrush crimes, Kevin needed to defend himself and he had FULL RIGHT to do so however he saw fit (which all proved entirely necessary seeing as literally nothing he threw at these men actually stopped them from trying to hurt him, they kept coming until his neighbor saved him)
Respect Kevin 2kforever š¤š¤š¤
