"By the time I give myself a look, I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by." Great song.
Something you might enjoy: Dream Theory

See, it sounded like he was talking about school, but really...it was about LIFE.
I've never heard that particular theory before, but it certainly makes the Good Morning Miss Bliss episodes make a little more sense. Those ones always confused the hell outta me when I was a kid...

And now you know the truth about Zac Morris.
Man, the 90's was full of great philosophy and morals, people hate on it without reason. The Fresh Prince wasn't afraid to talk about deep and heavy stuff.
I loved Saved by the Bell, but was always partial to Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
The more I see these warped theories about television shows and Movies, the more I like them.
I just watched both Home Alone movies and I honestly believe that Kevin McAllister died in the early part of his solitary christmas and the criminals are simply a desperate attempt by his subconscious to shock him back to life.
For example, he has dessert for dinner and is shown asleep, my theory is that he is suffering from Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (WebMD for the win!), basically a high blood sugar coma, he ate himself to death, he is 8 after all. His body is fighting desperately to get him to seek help by creating images and ideas of great stress to wake him up.
I have too much time on my hands.....

Oh man, that is certainly an interesting reading of Home Alone. In this theory does he end up surviving in the end, like when his parents come find him again, or is he dead for good? And like maybe the second movie is his version of heaven or hell? Probably heaven though, because only heaven would have the Talk Boy Tape Recorder? And then maybe the third movie is actually connected, even though it's a different kid! Like he got reincarnated or something! Yes! I definitely think we're onto something here!

For me, he's dead, but he could concievably survive.
The reincarnation angle is interesting because the 3rd and 5th (2012, it's about ghosts) movie isn't Kevin, but the 4th is.
I was thinking about this earlier on, Kevin McAllister - Kevin (Heaven) McAllister (Mc-Hell-ister), he's in purgatory, torn between two fabled endings.
Better yet, he's direecting the departed to their end destination, if they're good (the cop that turns up and all others that help him) they go to heaven, or if they're bad (the wet/sticky bandits), you get tormented and sent to hell (prison). This theory does however hint that the family possibly died in a plane crash.....dark movie. Also, is the south bend shovel slayer satan?
Whoa, more imagery, head up in the house, the escape is a flying fox (angelic?), head down and the exit is the furnace (hellmouth?).
Same game in Home Alone 2, the imagery of the helpers are turtledoves and pigeons.

Okay, so this is like, legitimately thrilling to me. I think you have a gift. Is it weird that I want to go back and rewatch them now to see what other symbolism I can find?
Also I had no idea there was a fourth or fifth one. That is almost just as interesting to me.

Thankyou, I've been having alot of fun recently, rewatching movies and understanding them from a different perspective and seeing things in them that I had missed so many times before. Terminator 2 was a revelation just catching all the small details in the conversations. Also, if you haven't seen the alternate ending.....Indulge
Movie symbolism, some of it is intentional, some, accidental. All of it compelling.
I'd not heard of the 5th (or seen it yet) before looking them up for this conversation, the 4th though, I had the disappointing discovery of seeing it as a straight to tv movie. Bad.

Oh man, how had I never seen that alternate ending after all my millions and millions of viewing of T2? I definitely prefer the original, but I'm kinda disappointed in myself for never even seeing it.
I have a couple movie buff friends over here that I think you would very much get along with. One of them in particular is always talking about the crazy underlying and background stuff going in movies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I typically watch the background characters in repeat viewings, look at the environments, secondary and tertiary characters. That's where the life of the world is, the minutiae.
Here's one that came to me last night, apologies for the obscene length, got kind of into this one.
Die Hard 1: John McClane visits Hollys' workplace, presumably to spend time and see LA with the prospect of moving there.
The Truth: Holly has already separated from John and he has not taken it well, he boards a flight with the intention of talking to her at the party, when he arrives he sees that she now goes by her maiden name, he goes upstairs and sees Holly, she has realitively little time for him and stress level grows to a point he cannot control, he delves into the drugs he recieved from the limo driver, the existence of Harry Ellis is a fabrication of Johns mind, allowing him to shirk responsibility for the drug habit, as it isn't him. In holly's office John begins arguing with Holly and the drugs take effect, Holly is aware of Johns drug habit and silently signals for Ginny to break up the conversation before John gets violent. This leaves John to stew and minutes later he has a psychotic break, he believes that german terrorists lead by Hans Gruber are assaulting the building, in reality, it is he who is assaulting the party, holding everyone hostage.
Hans' speech about a "legacy of greed" is John talking simutaneously to Holly and the company that he believes has taken her away from him.
Hans also chooses Hollys' office as a command post, this is where John was moments before. Hans is now the force keeping John from Holly.
Die Hard 2: John is transiting through an airport to be with his family for the holidays.
The Truth: After the events in Nakatomi Tower 2 years earlier, John was commited. The airport is actually a residential treatment facility.
An airport is all about routine and schedules, everything happeneing at an expected time. The dominant colour is white, much like an asylum. Carmine Lorenzo is always in Johns' face, much like an orderly would be. John is in treatment.
John manages to escape the asylum leading me to the fianl movie in the franchise.
Die Hard 3: Simon Gruber is stealing gold and getting revenge on John for the death Of Hans.
The Truth: John is completely disconnected from reality, the size of the city and the myriad loactions represent the fractured nature of Johns' mind. Simon is actually Hollys' new husband, and Katya is Johns' perception of Holly, an evil heartless monster intent on his destruction.
He believes there is a bomber but in actual fact John is the bomber. He is trying to impress Holly by being the hero cop she once fell in love with. Zeus is a hallucination, evidenced by Zeus advice of "looney tunes, you know, like Bellevue", he is trying to tell him he is not all together.
The repeated references to his "very bad headaches" and his need for aspirin (anti psychotics) are more evidence he is bonkers.
Even at the end, nord des lignes, north of the border I interpret as another veiled reference to himself about his psychosis.
Again, serious apologies for the ridiculous length.

Never apologize for the length of comments, especially if they are about Die Hard.
But for real, I am in legitimate awe of your ability to come up with these, and with how much sense they always seem to make. I feel like I need to start watching movies with you now so I can't get the real experience.
Have you worked the fourth or fifth Die Hard movies into this one yet? Or are we pretending those don't exist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not insulting anyone's enjoyment, I don't class them as Die Hard movies.
I've only seen no. 4 and all they did was sanitise the movie of it's original spirit (pg13, ptoooie), John was basically a neutered caveman, completely out of his depth in the entire movie.
Damnnit, as much as I didn't want to include this movie, you've made me make those connections.
John's been out of society for so long it's passed him by, all these years later he has missed the growth of his children. He's trying to reconnect with his daughter but she's not interested because all he's caused her is pain.
When a criminal emerges that John can't handle , he has to seek help.
This movie is the beginning of Johns emotional healing, he has been through the therapy and the drugs are working, now he has to reach out to the world that broke him to try and finish the healing.
I've not seen Die Hard 5 so I have no theories there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually liked Die Hard 4, but not so much as a Die Hard movie. More as a completely over-the-top-how-can-this-get-any-more-ridiculous type movie. The theory still seems pretty solid to me though.
And Die Hard 5 is not worth your time.

I shall take your word as a fan and a scholar of Die Hard and save myself the heartache.
