Impressions and a little about the past
I recently revised the film “Home Alone” - just in time for the holiday on the occasion of Christmas - and caught myself thinking that I could not stop loving him, like twenty years ago, when I first saw it on TV.
I remember that very first time. I watched it in German because I was in Germany. In the 90s in Belarus there was at one time a stir like this - to help children living in the zone affected by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Then for the first time I had the opportunity to go abroad and meet the new year outside the walls of a public institution.
The biggest gift was this particular film, and it was with him that I began to associate the Christmas holiday. I remember myself sitting on the carpet in front of the TV with my mouth open and not taking my eyes off the events taking place on the screen: a house rich in illumination, large and bright, as in childhood dreams; fussy big family, somewhere tossing parents, uncles, aunts, children and a policeman - who watched all this bedlam Joe Pesha as Harry.
Anticipation of something unusual and at the same time feeling of some incredible story, igniting curiosity in the suspicious look of a courteous officer, chained me and did not leave until the first credits appeared on the screen, and I didn’t smash like a rag, annoyed about the quick end of this wonderful tale. And what is most unusual is that after watching, there was no feeling at all that some kind of language barrier prevented me from understanding the essence of this wonderful family history, which I subsequently revised more than once.
What is this story hooked me if caused such a storm of emotions? Hard to say. It is difficult to disassemble a good thing into its component parts, when you know that individually they do not play any role, but when assembled together they make the impression that remains in my heart for many, many years!
I really do not want to talk about the minuses of this story, although with age and experience they unwittingly show through and correct my first ideas about the ideal family life. I just want to thank those people for such rare moments in life when you don’t want to think about anything, to regret anything, but just to enjoy a beautiful story.
And finally.
I find it extremely difficult to evaluate this film, how difficult it is to evaluate a gift that is very dear to you. But! I recommend for viewing all.
