An index of Home Alone 2 reveals a film less concerned with simple holiday nostalgia and more engaged with a child’s negotiation of adult systems: hotels, police, wealth, and charity. The repeated entries for surveillance (camcorder, bird) and urban decay (brownstone, Pigeon Lady) suggest that Kevin’s true victory is not defeating the bandits, but building an alternative family structure in the heart of an indifferent city. The trap registry, while violent, indexes a formalized logic that the sequel amplifies to near-cartoon excess, distinguishing it from the original’s more intimate scale.
