− | + | {{w|Home Alone (franchise)|Home Alone}} was a popular movie series in which the child protagonist Kevin McCallister is left in a house unattended while burglars try to rob it. In the movies, the protagonist comes up with a variety of ingenious traps and devices to harass and eventually incapacitate the burglars in each movie, which is the only reason for the popularity of the series. It's a classic story of the underdog (in this instance, a child) defeating a much stronger opponent (the burglars) through his own ingenuity. Of course, the reverse wouldn't work as a movie because it would mean an adult man using his much greater skills and abilities against a couple of children. | |
− | + | The scene depicted is an adaptation of an iconic scene from the first movie, which was used heavily in advertising. {{w|Macaulay Culkin}} is the actor who played the protagonist in the ''Home Alone'' movies, although he has grown into an adult since the creation of the last ''Home Alone'' movie. | |
