Bro, have you heard about Jesus in Home Alone? The character? No, like he's in Home Alone. He's in it. He makes an appearance. Symbolic. Symbolically. Old Man Marley is the symbol of Jesus. The first time we see the old man, what is he doing? He's salting the sidewalk. He's out serving the people. The second time he shows up is when Kevin's kind of doing this outward talking to himself, almost like a prayer, right? And he's saying, I'm not afraid anymore. Who shows up? Old Man Marley shows up. He runs away because he's scared. That's rejection number two. Now the third time, this is when it gets really good. The third time we see him, the old man shows up in the convenience store when Kevin is trying to buy the toothbrush. He is signaled by a bell and the bell represents... An angel gets its wings! So he's been symbolized with heavenly things. The old man shows up, puts his hand on top of the counter. We see a shot through the glass of his palm. What? Hold on! Look at this. Could this be? Why didn't I see this before? this changes everything we see his palm bloody rejection number three now it's becoming almost undeniable who Marley represents the next time we see him Kevin is in the church and he sees old man Marley now this is so amazing while the choir is singing all holy night they sing fall on your knees what does the old man do he stands up because he is to be worshipped he is not the worshipper then there a long beat The choir says oh hear the angels voices and it the first time the old man speaks in the film and he says Merry Christmas They have this wonderful conversation that we talk about in a minute but it ends with old man Marley shaking Kevin hand and we see a tight shot of a band on the back of his hand So now we've seen the front that's been damaged, and we see the back, so we know that he has been pierced through. It's all true. Now fast forward to the end of the movie. Kevin's called the cops. I'm calling the cops. He runs into the neighbor's house. He goes down to the basement. Here we see the hero's journey. Kevin is reborn. when he literally runs through water and arises up, becoming a new creature. The bad guys catch him, and they hang him. Another symbol. And who saves Kevin? Literally the savior of Kevin, and he represents Jesus in Home Alone. Now we go to the very end of the movie. Kevin's looking through the window, through the falling snow, beautiful music, and we see old man Marley hugging his son. Earlier, from the conversation at the church, the old man is lamenting. He's saying, I'm not welcome with my son. Now we have reconciliation with God and his children. That is the Christmas story. And this is one of the many, many reasons, dude, that I just love movies. Symbols and parables hidden in plain sight for all to see. And a filmmaker who uses that power for good. I think it's a beautiful thing. Jack. Jack. So what do you think, man? I mean, I don't know. It's nice, Zane. It is a nice thought.
