  • Kevin Alone

    Home Alone  (1990)

    Home Alone was in theaters in Europe when I was in school there. My name is Kevin, and when introduced, people would often say, "Kevin, yes, like the movie."

    Not able to speak anything but English, and having no money or television, I wasn't aware of what was playing in theaters. For the longest time I had no idea what they meant. Finally I asked one of my friends what was up, and they said, "you know, Kevin Alone, the film?" From my knowledge it was Home Alone, I said. Then we put it together. In German (I was in the German-speaking part of Switzerland), one can't have an implied subject as in "Home Alone." Pre-Michael Jaskson Macaulay Culkin played the little boy, whose name in the film as it turns out is Kevin. When distributed in German-speaking areas, they had to add the subject: Kevin. So it would have to be "Kevin Alone" (or perhaps it was "Kevin Home Alone" - I don't recall).

    As a result I was always associated with this movie while away from home, and this movie to my time in Switzerland, where I was in fact, alone.
