The house where the famous pre-Christmas American movie "Home Alone" was shot could be rented, and since May of this year its sale was advertised for more than $ five million. For years, the Danish company "Lego" has been selling a model of bricks authentically made after the one in which little Kevin (35 years ago) outwitted thieves, which is located in Illinois, for about $250.
The house is the most common, integral part of the magic of the film. As a home, a mystical building, a visual element, a symbol of warmth and security, a source of conflict, love, hatred - the house has always inspired creators.
