Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 140379, member: 1510"] I haven't watched it in some time, but I thought it was a daring choice when I watched it (which would have been ~2 years after release). Adult me would probably feel different, though. I totally agree with you, but at the same time, this was a John Hughes film. You can not expect Hughes to not promote the status quo. He was known to be a huge supporter of the status quo in private despite trying to look "rebellious" in public. And he put his real feelings into the text and/or subtext of his work frequently. The audience missed this often mainly because the target audience for his films were mostly teens (in the 80s) and young kids (in the 90s). It's only recently that anyone seems at all suspicious of what he was getting at with [I]Home Alone 2[/I], and that seems to be mainly because of a small cameo, not all the anti-homeless nonsense (including the seemingly "pro-homeless" stuff) throughout the film. But his other films are full of that sort of stuff that just isn't noticed at all. [/QUOTE]
