Christmas Eve, Chicago, USA.
Kevin, an 8-year-old boy, is being madly complained by his sister at the moment: You have to be helped by others to do everything, you are simply a drag oil bottle!
Even his mother said that he was the most annoying of the 11 children in the family...
Kevin, in a fit of rage, shouted at his mother – I want you all to disappear!
Maybe Kevin's mouth was opened, and when he woke up the next day, there was really no one in the house!
But could it be a prank by the family?
In order to determine the answer, he began to make trouble at home, in various positions and all kinds of hi, wantonly making trouble.
Run to my brother's room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, reading adult magazines.
Run to bed and eat popcorn while bouncing around.
Take a toy gun, do it against your hands, and practice shooting.
Eating ice cream from the fountain of happiness on the couch while lying down in a corpse pot drama...
After doing a series of things that would be hanged by his family, he found that the family was still quiet, and no one came out to "hunt down" him.
At this moment, he was really convinced that he was real, and his family had been lost!
When you were a kid, what would you do if you were at home alone?
Kevin's opportunity to pick up the treasure is to choose to let go of himself.
Imitate the appearance of adults: take a bath, comb your back, spray perfume, delicate skin care...
Smash your brother's piggy bank and go to the mall to buy and buy.
A serious nonsense, asking the cashier: this toothbrush, is there any approval from the American Dental Association...
However, Kevin, who is all kinds of self-deprecation, is not aware of it at the moment, and there are two thieves nearby, who are eyeing their home, preparing to burglarize...
The above storyline comes from the American Christmas New Year film released in 1990: "The Little Devil Is Home".
Although more than 30 years have passed since its release, it is still known as the best comedy ever made in the United States.
Director Chris Columbus, who loves the Harry Potter series, should be very familiar.
He was the first director to push open the door to Hogwarts, and he directed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which is still called the most faithful to the original film.
Directed by Chris Columbus and "Little Devils" actor Macaulay Calkin
"Little Devil Is Home" has successfully gone out of the circle because of the funny label, setting off a wave of "Little Devil Is Home" fever around the world.
Actor Macaulay Kalkin, because of his role as "Kevin", overnight, became the most expensive child star in the United States.
How hot was it at the time?
In the follow-up "Little Devil 2", he and Trump, the strongest dragon runner in history, had a 5-second opponent scene.
"Little Devil May Cry 2"
In Michael Jackson's mv "Black or White", he was invited to star in a high-profile role.
Later, because he had a good personal relationship with the king, he became the godfather of the two children of the king.

As a comedy, the most laughable place in the film is the clip of Kevin and the two thieves.
How high energy is it?
Kevin, a science and engineering insider, showed a wave of children who called other people's families when facing danger alone.
Splashing water on the steps, using the temperature of the snow to freeze, the thief fell directly to the sky on all fours.
Paint the stairs, put sharp nails, the thief stepped on one foot, and instantly soured his head.
Hang a hot soldering iron on the doorknob, and the thief opens the door instantly, directly experiencing the three-point cooking of the hand.
In addition, marbles, flower pots, handmade... All kinds of props, in Kevin's hands, turned into weapons.
So much so that some netizens exclaimed: Foreign children learn mechanical engineering from a young age? Feel like you've read a fake book!
However, the movie is always a movie, and the little ghost in the play will eventually return to real life.
It's just that no one has ever thought that this little Zhengtai who opened up in the play is a completely different life in real life.
Macaulay's father, a Former Broadway actor, was never popular, so he later became a church watchman.
But for the actor's line, he is not dead hearted.
He painstakingly developed various skills from the age of 4 to attack the show business.
Later, Macaulay successfully rose to the top with "Little Devil Is Home", but his father's demonic perverted operation had just begun.
Macaulay with his parents
On the one hand, his father valued McCauley's business value, so that he was only 10 years old, in 6 years, took over 14 movies and constantly squeezed the circle of money.
On the other hand, the father was very jealous of him: because of his fantasy achievements, the child actually got it at the age of 10!
Therefore, my father often threatened Macaulay privately: If you don't shoot well, I will beat you!
In Macaulay's autobiographical novel Junior, he recalls his father: Once when the room was a little messy, his father grabbed me in the face and dragged me out of bed and beat me. He never hit me in front of my friends because that would have embarrassed him too much. But he would give money to my friends so they wouldn't talk to me.
He loves hitting my mom the most. Once, while walking down the street, he was suddenly very angry, like a madman, punching and punching my mother in the head.
How big is the shadow area for a child as young as 10 years old with emotional abuse and constant domestic violence?
Macaulay mentions this many years later, and it is still very painful:
My father was a bad guy... I don't mind showing you the scars on my body.
I've always wanted a normal life, to be a normal student. But he never seemed to have heard what I said...
In 1994, Macaulay's parents parted ways.
But in order to fight for custody of Macaulay's cash cow, the two sides fought bloodily.
In desperation, Macaulay announced his retirement.
This move made the father angry and angry, and threatened the media: I never regard him as a son.
At the age of 14, Macaulay became a homeless teenager for a while.
After leaving the family, he gradually became infected with vices: smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction...
How decadent is it?
At its worst, he could smoke more than 60 cigarettes a day and take drugs for up to $6,000 a week...
So that later when the media filmed him, some people complained: He is going to play a young version of t-bag? (Perverted inmates in the American drama "Prison Break")
Maybe Macaulay's life is destined to be like a little devil, and he needs to encounter many twists and turns to see hope.
In 2017, Macaulay and actor Brenda became acquainted with the play, and the decadent state of life finally began to change.
Now open his homepage, you will find that in addition to the gradual return of this brother to human beings, in his daily life, he has never lost on the road of aspireing to be a "McCaulay black powder boss"!
Macaulay and Brenda
When Disney planned to remake "Little Devil Is Home", he enthusiastically signed up all over the Internet: Please call me! This is the real little devil!
Later, when the remake failed, he teased himself: big news! I finally got a job at Disney – selling balloons!
After a wave of operations, I found that I was actually on the hot search, although he was late: just woke up, can someone tell me what happened? I'm dead again???
Known as the funniest artist on Twitter, he has made many netizens shout directly: Trouble hurry to shoot an "Old Ghost Home"!
Last year, Macaulay celebrated his 40th birthday, and he posted:
Do you want to feel old?
I'm 40 years old! you're welcome!
When many netizens brushed the screen "Ye Qing Jie", he responded:
Joy is my gift to the world, if you can feel old, then I am also happy.
The asshole thing happens, but a lot of kids have had the asshole thing, and they don't necessarily get ruined.
My life is an example.
Some netizens left a message: Thanks for childhood, the little devil brought me joy. I am also grateful for the courage that Macaulay brought me when I grew up and faced my original family.
I hope that Macaulay outside the play can also be like a ghost in the play, and finally usher in his own happy ending.
