To be honest, I never paid much attention to Macaulay Culkin as an actor. I saw Home Alone 1, 2 when I was a kid and, of course, I had a great fun watching it, later also My Girl and Richie Rich. Then around 1993 I saw him as Michael’s close friend and since then I associated Macaulay with Michael in the first place:lol:. Well, I’ve never seen him as a child actually, he is a year older than me so I just seen him as a cool guy my age, lol. I haven’t seen any of his newer films or even heard much about him for a long time…
But about a year and a half ago I noticed once his novel in a bookstore. I didn’t really expect to see Mac writing a book:lol:. I picked it up spontaneously, sat down and read the whole thing in an hour. It was definitely autobiographical and not good from literary point of view lol, but among all the chaotic random thoughts, childish drawings, poems and personal manifestos I found a few passages about searching for his identity, stolen by fame, his loneliness and painful relationship with his abusive father and reading that brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t buy the book but it all stuck in my mind for a long time.
It was with no doubt something that Macaulay wrote deeply from his heart, he truly opened his tortured soul up to readers and created a beautiful mixture of great humor and sadness. It was that book that made me feel a true sympathy and respect for him as an intelligent, reflective and sensitive person with a wise, independent worldview. And I loved his self-irony and sarcastic sense of humour:lol:
And one more thing… Even it was mostly about his life there were no reference to Michael in the book at all. And I respect him for leaving it out. It obviously shows that Michael is someone special for Mac, someone he didn’t want to make one of the puzzles of his destroyed life. It seems to me that Michael is the only steady part of his life, like Neverland was his oasis when he was younger, a safe and pleasant place beyond all the mess around his fame and family. And that’s why I think he wanted to cherish Michael by excluding his person from the sarcastic view on his chaotic life and the whole world. It shows that Mac really appreciates his friendship with Michael.
After reading that I admire Macaulay much more than ever before, for writing such a deep and honest book on his life and sharing his true feelings and thoughts. This book made me really care about him. I’d like to meet him not just because of his friendship with Michael or his talent as an actor, but an interesting person he is that I can relate to a bit.
Have anyone of you read it? What are your impressions?
Well actually i am sure there are a few..i think many Michael fans are also his "fans" as well.
