Home Alone 1 And 2: 20 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes
11. Red And Green Feature In Every Scene
One of the reasons people keep coming back to Home Alone year after year aside from the hilarious bone crunching violence is that it completely nails that nostalgic Christmas mood; it has the snowy scenery, the decorations and the John Williams score. The films use of colour is designed to underline that feeling throughout, with every single scene featuring Christmassy colours like bright reds or greens; this includes clothes, furniture, wallpaper and of course the Christmas presents. This colour scheme - combined with the warm, cosy lighting inside the house - is what gives Home Alone that extra strength festive feeling.
