Fun Facts
Read the given facts and work with the new
words
To promote a stronger Christmas feel, red and green are major reoccurring colors
throughout the movie, appearing quite conspicuously in almost every scene. This
includes furniture, clothing, food containers, and all wallpaper.
In the scene when Kevin walks past the driveway just as Harry and Marv are driving
down it, and stop just in time to avoid hitting him, was achieved by having Macaulay
Culkin walk backwards as the van was driven in reverse away from him. The film
was then shown backwards.
In May 2011, the house in Winnetka, Illinois used in this movie was listed for sale at
$2.4 million. It sold in March 2012 for $1.585 million. The house is promoted as a
tourist attraction, and cited as an example of "How to Get Your Home in the Movies».
Catherine O'Hara revealed in 2014 that Macaulay Culkin still calls her «Mom".
The picture Kevin finds of Buzz's girlfriend was a picture of a boy made up to look
like a girl, because director Chris Columbus thought it would be too cruel to make fun
of a girl like that. The boy that was used in the photo was art director Dan Webster's
son.
Many of the shots that focus on Kevin in the beginning of the movie are filmed
from above his head, making him seem small and helpless. At the end of the
movie, Kevin is mostly shot from below, making him seem taller and more
confident.
