Christmas is almost here and we all have a need to watch Christmas themed movies, right? There are a lot of classics out there such as The Grinch, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street...what about Home Alone? This is one of my favorite Christmas movies just because a child is able to come up with so many ideas on how to prevent thieves from robbing his house. The traps that he creates are beyond incredible. Even though this is my favorite movie, I am open to hearing different theories on what this movie could mean. There is a theory that Kevin, the child, grows up to be Jigsaw from the Saw movies....what?! I was shocked to hear this as well. It could be possible though. It is thought of that Kevin enjoys the pain that he causes to the thieves and Jigsaw enjoys the pain that he causes to his victims. See the connection? According to seventeen.com, "both characters' enjoyment of watching others in pain---and their blonde hair, blue eyes---provide evidence to this theory." Now, I know that this theory is completely messed up...I get it. Why ruin a childhood classic, right? There are so many interpretations of films out there so why not go back to the good ole days? Kevin is a child who creates traps in his home so that no one can steal anything. His parents "forgot" about him when they went off to go to some trip for the holidays. How sad...but not for Kevin. He enjoyed the look of fear in Harry and Marv (the bandits) so maybe this theory isn't a surprise. We are not sure how Jigsaw's upbringing really has to do with the way he came to be. All we know is that he had a tumor that couldn't be treated. As he was dying, he wanted others to fight for the right to live because they weren't in a position where they were dying. They were doing drugs, cheating, etc. This was all because he tried committing suicide himself but lived. Jigsaw wanted others to appreciate life rather than abusing the privilege to live. Life is precious and everyone should be thankful that they are alive to experience everything that life offers. Of course, it is different for everyone. Each experience is different. We should never take advantage of what we have. So, Jigsaw is really trying to teach a lesson to individuals who have this mindset that life doesn't matter. "His methods include forcing his subject through deadly scenarios, which he referred to as "games" or "tests", in which they were forced to inflict pain upon themselves or others in order to escape. These tests were typically symbolic of what Jigsaw perceived as a flaw in each person's moral character or life" (Wikipedia.com). Does this sound familiar? Kevin somewhat does the same thing. He tries to teach the bandits a lesson by having them go through deadly obstacles. I mean, realistically you care not able to survive most of the obstacles that are in the film. It just isn't possible. Understandably, it is for entertainment purposes. We all get that. But what if Kevin did grow up to be Jigsaw? The only flaw in this theory is that Jigsaw's real name was John but he could have just gone with that name to cover up his past...maybe. Just think about it. Blonde hair and blue eyes with a thirst to teach others a lesson through traps or "games" that are deemed to be deadly. What do you think? Could they be related? Just think about it.
