OMG I never noticed before, but the rain was a motif for Sam and Kate. Rain brought the together in the first place, as it was the rain and her leaky roof that allowed them to spend more time together, and it was raining when they had their first kiss. Finally, when he died, it never rained again and the lake dried up. Another motif I always loved were Kate's kisses. Because of her kiss with Sam, he was killed, and she forever treated her lips as the lips of death. Plus, I loved her snark when she refused to kill Trout at the end, as if to say "I didn't want to kiss you then, and I certainly won't kiss you now." Man, I loved this movie/book. So many symbols and motifs through the whole thing.
Yes I agree...I love your analysis of the story. Do they use this book in middle school English classes? If they don't they should. Naomikimiko, you would make a great teacher, you made me look at the story from those perspectives. I think I had the rain/no rain thing figured out, but never put two and two together with her refusal to kill Trout because she didn't want to kiss him - god that actor who played him was good because I absolutely detest the Trout character, he made the perfect villain. Thanks for the enlightenment, I never really thought about that before until I read your comment.
When you think about, three curses were broken in the final act. Stanley carrying Hector up the mountain broke his family's curse. Stanley and Hector finding the treasure broke Kate's curse since they weren't descendants of Trout. The Warden being arrested brought justice to Sam's death breaking the rain curse.
@@imanachour8208 Elya Yelnats whom the curse was placed upon. (Stanley's Great great grandfather.) affected his Great grandfather Stanley Yelnats I who was the one robbed by Kissin Kate Barlow after he made a fortune. The treasure chest that was found by Stanley and Hector is the same one stolen by Kate. Trout and Linda hunted down Kate in a effort to get her to tell them where the chest was, but she mocked them instead and in a sense cursed them and their descendants to dig for the next 100 years, and they still won't find it. After which she was bitten by the lizard and died. The Warden is the granddaughter of Trout and Linda which is why she built the camp in an effort to find the treasure. But Kate's curse was right in that she would never find it, which was why Stanley and Hector were able to find it. Because they were not affected by Kate's curse.
@@SupermarketSweep777 thank you so much, I understood that the warden was trout’s great granddaughter but it just never clicked for me that the loot belonged to the first Stanley Yelnats
RedRaptor555 it’s the way she drawls it out with sadness and acceptance like a deceleration she can finally say out loud. It’s as if she’s saying “i tried to live, but I’m tired of trying because inside I’m already dead”. That’s the sad part because after Sam died she felt nothing but cold.
1:27 One of my favorite things about this movie is how Louis Sachar (who wrote both the screenplay and the book) wrote this detail, then when Stanley and Zero were being swarmed by lizards, but not bitten, the movie doesn't flash back to this scene, it lets the audience connect the details that they were eating Sam's onions beforehand. That's a movie respecting the audience's intelligence, even for a kid's film.
Yes! I always loved how all it took was two lines to allow to audience to connect it. When Sam says, “Yellow-Spotted Lizards don’t like my onions” and then later Magnet telling them boys, “You smell like onions!” I love your words of respecting the audience‘s intelligence. Perfectly said!
One of the things i learned about a book being turned into a movie is that unfortunately, for those of us that read the books first, the movies are nothing like the book. A lot of details are omitted in the movie, which really suck🤨
I could picture it to He asks the students for a favor Cut to next day the student asks that she says no Sam walks in says I can fix that and gets down on one knee and holds out a ring.
@@epiccoolawesomehandle, not really. Half, if not all, of the hardships that they endured was based upon race. That should make it one of the best (fictional) interracial love stories of all time.
I barely even registered that it was an interracial or taboo romance back in the day, I was just more focused on how much I liked the two characters and how great the story was.
“If you hang him, better hang me too, because I kissed him back.” She said it with such conviction and was proud of her love for him and didn’t care who knew it! And she also said it kinda vengeful as well translating to something like “haha Sam wins my love, not you creeps” because they all wanted her and she knows they did but she never wanted then and Sam won her over.
Just realized that Kate was sitting with Sam’s remains when she died and Sam also took with him Kate’s peaches when he tried to escape. Otherwise, Zero would have had nothing to eat.
Seeing how the boat was flipped over instead of right side up, they most likely took Sam's body back, but left the boat. They most likely did the same thing when she died because there were no bones or clothes by the time Zero and Stanley got there. Still, they both died at the same place.
@@rebeccamichael626 with all the wildlife around no telling what happened to dead bodies. Boat sunk and that's where it landed on the lake floor before it dried up
"You, your children and your children's children will dig for the next 100 years, and you will NEVER find it." Kate's punishment to Walker and his whole family for him murdering an innocent man she loved who was kind, honest, and hard-working to everybody.
If I was writing the script for this movie, I would have added this line: Katherine: And even if you *do* find it, you might as well be stealing yourself...because it won't rightly belong to you.
Fun fact: Mr. Carlewood (the bald guy at the beginning who Sam gave an onion tonic for hair growth) is in fact Louis Sachar, the author of the book Holes!
"Your children, and your children's children will be diggin' for the next one hundred years and you will never find it. Start diggin' trout.." -Katherine Barlow, 1925
@@imbwildrd3693 The same time George Luger made the Iconic German Service Pistol, the Luger P08... Though he made the first working rendition of it as far back as 1900.
Damn this is probably one of the most badass anti-hero stories I’ve ever heard and never realized it. I need a full western movie about Kissin’ Kate Barlow
I think her story is so brilliant because of it's brevity. In 50 pages Louis Sachar makes you really care and feel something. He leaves it at that forever, a very sad tale.
I love how in her crew are native Americans (who were also oppressed in that time) and i love how she loved a black man (in which we all know was oppressed in that time) she was ahead of her time by a long shot.
Not ahead of her time, just not an ignorant bigot. People seem to think that everyone was racist back in those days. They werent. It was a pretty small percent of people who were openly racist and treated black people poorly. Everyone else was like her, normal people who lived amongst eachother. Racism is taught. There was a lot more ignorance back then, but it wasn't everyone.
I remember my black sgt showing me pictures of black people being hanged on a tree with white people watching and smiling at the view. Racism was pretty bad and pretty real. Maybe not to extreme degree but it was there
@@Noneofyourbyisness Like anything in our history shows we all have to acknowledge the past or else we're doomed to repeat it. Racism is still in our current time but not as bad as it was in old times. Least people can actually be civilized by choice now days if they choose to. Sometimes people forget there are bad seeds in every race not one as a whole putting labels on every person that belongs to said race causes more strife.
+TalkingToMyself Anyone else think she is probably the most relatable murderer ever put in a movie? You completely understand and even want her to shoot the sheriff.
@@niamhs6476 well the point is her pointing out Linda was a good student but just because she was a good student doesn’t mean she was immune to making mistakes and bad decisions. Kate seemed surprised Linda would marry Trout but people change especially from childhood. Weird how she basically admitted she married Trout for his money. Yet they stayed together
@@oooh19 the comment is explaining how the nice teacher part of kissin' kate barlow coming out is weridly sad, didn't have anything to do with Linda making wrong decisions.
I wish this was a full length movie. Sam makes my heart melt. I'm a sucker for a man like that. A man that's kind, is good with his hands, grows food, is generous, and has a great smile. He was too good for that town
In the 1880s and 1890s, when the Federal Government began giving pensions to Civil War veterans many young women began marrying older war veterans in the hopes of receiving their pension when the men died. It was not uncommon. Also, Trout Walker in this film is pretty sleazy so I wouldn't put it passed him to woo a teenage girl.
I also think it’s interesting that Linda seemed to feel a tad sympathetic when Kate said she’d been waiting to die for a long time. I mean that was her former teacher
" I been wishin’ I was dead for a long time “ that’s rlly deep & something I missed over when I was a child but coming back to watch the whole movie now, this movie was more then just a Disney movie
It's sad because she expected to get killed when she committed her crimes. She probably got an adrenaline rush from doing all of that and being close to death.
I feel terrible for Katherine. She lost the 2 things she loved: Sam and the school. So I can understand why she did what she did to Trout and the sheriff and why she took the location of her loot to the grave
I watched this movie in school, and one thing that really wowed me was the story of Kissing Kate Barlow. It's freakishly scary that a young, sweet, loving, damsel like and innocent teacher turns into a badass, dangerous, female fatale, tough criminal. That really shows how grief, tragedy and losing someone dear and near can impact a person. Even though she was a murderer and bandit, I actually felt really sorry for her. The whole movie is freaking amazing and I recommend everyone to watch it! And read the book! How can I miss the book? Such a shame that it's underrated, which is so unnecceptable. There is so many symbolism, connections, twists, and it's so good that all of these stories in the past connect to the present! So clever!
Well, it's the trials in our lives that make us use our dark side too. And sometimes the trials are so hard, we embrace the darkness allthough it makes unhappy for the rest of our days.
yesssss. reading Holes as a kid, it blew my freaking mind when stuff started connecting. Madam Zeroni, the curses, one of the Yelnats having been robbed by Kissin' Kate and so the treasure that was found in the end in fact belonged to the youngest Stanley, the Warden having descended from the Trout family -- even small details like Zero learning to read and thus being able to read the name on the treasure, the boys having eaten loads of raw onions which later saved their lives against the venomous lizards bc the lizards didn't like onions + having the lizards with them was the boys' main defense in the standoff against the Warden & Co........man i can go on and on. the whole book is brilliant. the writer was so good at planting and pay-off, and utilizing all the Chekhov's Guns.
Every time he Sam says "I can fix that" it reminds me of Wesley saying "As you wish" from the Princess Bride and my heart flutters just a little bit more.❤
What i love about Kate’s curse on Trout was the fact that it didn’t require any magic and or other worldly power Trout and his family line spent their entire lives looking for the treasure, driving all of them into madness and contaminating their lives with obsession and bitterness prisoners of their own greed No better curse.
@@vince11harrisWell it is implied that the reason the Lake dried up was due to the town's sin of killing an innocent man (Sam). So I think God must have cursed the area, then it rains after the treasure is found and the Warden (Trout's descendant) is sent to jail for her crimes. Ie. The curse is lifted.
I can see why Kate fell for Sam. He's kind, generous, caring, optimistic and is always there for you if there's something he can fix. He'd make a fin boyfriend and husband
Something that I finally noticed about Kate's "Still want that kiss?" scene. She was a Teacher, and female teachers in her time were required to be single. A scandal like being seen with Sam would definitely have cost her her job. That coupled with the fact that she appears in bright red, with bright red lipstick on (a very provocative thing to wear at that time, bold makeup was generally how one identified prostitutes) and the way she teases the Sheriff when taking off the bonnet. The Sheriff thought the pretty teacher that everyone was after, was desperate for cash after losing her job, and was offering more than just a kiss.
Would definitely explain the reactions of the inmates seeing her come in as well. They thought they were about to witness something exciting and boy were they right.
Such a heartbreaking love story. Katherine and Sam, two amazing and sweet people who loved each other for their sweet temperaments and like minds, torn apart just because some prejudiced man couldn't deal with rejection.
i've never noticed this before, but in 1:26-1:30 sam says the lizards don't like the onion juice, which would explain why stanley and zero weren't bit at the end of the movie when they were sitting in the hole with the chest
I discussed this with my students just this week. Louis Sachar is very good at setting up plot elements early in the story that pay off at the end of the story. The onion juice repelling the lizards is an excellent example of this.
tiffany At first I actually thought the lizards were protecting Hector & Stanley from The Warden, Mr. Sir and Pendenski from taking the chest and killing them.
Does anyone notice how the music is broken and weird when Kate is alone by Sam's boat? It shows just how heartbroken and lonely she is. And then, when she sees Sam's mirage, the music pics up to a soft romantic symphony. She loved that man a lot, and the music reflects how broken she is over his death.
Most westerns, then and now, focus on a hero. Either that or a former outlaw who becomes a hero. If this had been made into a full on movie, focusing on the tragic backstory of a female outlaw, I think it would've gone down as one of the best westerns of all time.
"You were such a good student! You must've married him for his money." "Heheh. . I been wishing I was dead for a loong time. . ." "You, your children and your children's children, will dig for the next 100 years and you will never find it." These lines are 🔥
I always thought this was pretty "mature" for Disney Channel to be showing, I used to watch this all the time as a kid, and I loved it even if it made me sad! I think more children should watch this, they can understand the conflict just fine. "I can fix that!" 😭
Yeah, I understood it basically, and I was 6 years old, the first time I saw this movie. It still didn't stop it from terrifying me though............. That scene where they destroy the school house and then kill that innocent donkey and then Sam................. ........ Chills.......................
It kills me how when she’s laying against the boat and sees what she thinks is Sam she sounds so happy and full of love. For one second she saw the man she loved the most in the world but then just as soon as he was there he was gone
I like to think it was really his spirit coming to see her When he says “I can fix that” to me it meant that she was ready to die and reunite with him again
Sam and Kate were such a beautiful yet tragic story, Holes is an amazing book. Even though I hate my teacher, I'm glad she made my class read this book.
I watched this with my younger sisters and they didn’t understand why they would kill Sam. They thought because she was so pretty and they he was just jealous. The look in their eyes broke me as I told them it was because he was black and it was illegal for him to kiss her. They couldn’t fathom such a thing. I really hope they never have to experience something as heartbreaking at that.
And that's only half the pain like kate felt when the sheriff told her it's against the law for him to kiss you not for you to kiss him. So even though she was suffering she realized it was still worse for him
Considering how half the men in town had the hots for Kate, I think there was some jealousy in there too. They just used the illegality of him kissing her as leverage to kill him, which they probably deep down wanted to do for a long time.
Yes even though Black people were free at that time they had stupid laws (Jim Crow Laws) to oppress the Black people. Trout and the Sheriff and others liked Kate but she wouldn't give them the time of day because of their wicked hearts. Sam was kind and caring and loving and she saw his good heart. Kate didn't care about race like many others did in that town. Trout was jealous of Sam because he won Kate's heart. It was a big blow to his ego as well because Sam was a black man. They were looking for an excuse to kill Sam because kissing a person shouldn't be punishable by death especially as Kate said " I kissed him back." She loved Sam and he loved her. It took many decades after that for the law to allowed interracial marriages in the South. smh..
I'm just going to say this, I like the way how after the Lizard bit/killed kate it walked up her body and flicked it's tounge against her cheek, me personally I feel like the lizard had given her a kiss after killing her... Sort of a way subtle way the directors could sneak in a little "What goes around comes around" moment, but that's just me....
@@anisahnazario1528 The Sheriff wasn't Walker's father. He was presumably in Walker's pocket to let him be above the law in Green Lake. Even back then, a white man could murder black people and not get arrested because of racial discrimination.
The crooked sheriff got what he wanted and he finally got that kiss from Kate, only she shot him dead as punishment for letting Sam die. She later began looting banks and finding the people who were responsible for Sam’s death to fill that void. Kate later punished Trout and his family by making them dig holes to find the treasure that originally belonged to Stanley’s family.
in the book, when the towns people murder Sam they try to justify their hate with religion, something about God punishing Kate and Sam for their sins. After the murder the narration goes something like; 'since that day it never rained in Green Lake again, I'll let you decide who God was trying to punish.'
I kind of have to agree with Kate Barlow. Those assholes killed her true love because he was black. And it made me so sad that they killed Mary Lou. :((
These moments never get old. She had no interest in killing trout because she was ready to die and she specifically wanted to die in the same spot as the man she loved. The one man who was sweet and smart and just embodied love. This legend honestly could have been its own movie
Just realised, we all know that Zero hides under the boat Mary Lou when he runs into the desert right? And we all know that Kate Barlow dies there - but they left her body. Of course in the extreme heat and about 80 years passing, her body would be completely gone, but here bones should be there, right? under the sand anyway - so essentially, zero and stanley are literally feet away from Kissin' Kate Barlow's remains, as they eat her spicy peaces, while in the sanctuary of her true love's boat. Wow.
Mr McLovin ah, so you’re THAT type of person, racism may have been encouraged back in the 1800s but let anyone catch you saying that in public and see how quickly you get yourself in trouble no one has any tolerance for close minded people like you anymore
Mr McLovin grow the fuck up that’s a shitty mindset to have no one is better than anyone else and I hope you wake up one day and realize how ignorant you were being when you wrote that
As an adult, this movie hits different. Such a poignant yet sad story for Kate Barlow A beautiful, lovely schoolteacher adorned by the entire town, now turned badass, unforgiving, dangerous outlaw due to her gentle, kind, caring beloved killed for kissing her Perhaps a takeaway here is how much losing a loved one, especially one who’s innocent, can hurt/change those around them 😔
Georgia I was thinking the same thing. I think that's what hurt me the most about this whole clip. Poor precious girl just minded her buisness being a good girl
That was so unnecessary, the scene is already so well done in how tragic it is. But the way they just insert a shot of a dead donkey, it makes me half-expect a “donnnnnng” sound effect. Don’t get me wrong, animal deaths can be just as effective if done right, but this just felt like what is was-literal overkill.
this broke my heart sam was such a good man and they killed him because he was black and they murdered his beautiful sweet Mary Lou as well, so Kate died when sam did and she just wanted to hurt people the way she was hurt
Poor Katherine lived the rest of her days trying to avenge Sam and release those dark feelings but in the end it meant nothing...she just wanted to go back to Sam
@@demetriusshuler1391 Oh.. Thank god.. I thought she killed random men, that pissed me off to think about how she could've killed a kid's father or something, turns out it was the men who killed Sam, and ruined her life, I'm so relieved for that..
I never caught this as a kid but for the Sheriff to get drunk for a "hanging" symbols how he cant actually soberly kill a man shows how pathetic he is..
I thought the same thing. I’m sure that’s how it was irl. Despised a group of people so much but don’t even have the guts to shed innocent blood with a sober mind
That’s an amazing observation. It makes the story just that more unjust. They can judge a man by the color of his skin, but can’t even look him in the eyes as they kill him.
Glad to see I'm not the only Kate Barlow fan out there. Ever since I read the book when I was eleven, and saw the movie, I've always took a liking to Kate. She died laughing. That's amazing!
It’s funny. If Kate never left Yelnats alive, then he wouldn’t have been able to find God’s Thumb and the onion garden Sam grew there. She saved the Yelnats family in more ways than one.
You're right. When you leave the ancestor alive, you unwittingly save generations. With the first Stanley Yelnats left alive, Stanley IV and Zero managed to live out the whole story of Holes. Pretty impressive how an outlaw managed to save the Yelnats family in one way by only robbing the ancestor.
an excellent statement however her robbery of Stanley the first brought suffering to 3 generations of his descendants.......... they certainly didn't deserve that! It's kind of sad especially for Stanley the 2nd...... that chest was literally his birth right taken away from him and in his old age he probably doesn't have many years left to enjoy the wealth he should have enjoyed his whole life... tragic. good statement though!
The Yelnats were cursed by their ancestor. Being robbed was just part of the punishment for the crime of breaking a promise. Does that mean the deserved all the hardship? Probably not, but this whole movie/book is about what your family legacy does to you. The Warden, the Yelnats, and the Zeronis, not to mention the legacy of Jim Crow and slavery that befell Sam and led to his death. Life isn't fair. Poverty, racism, and privilege are all things handed down to you based on lineage and systematic oppression
I agree! Your awesome for putting this together! I have loved this movie since it came out but Kissin' Kate's story has always been my favorite part of this story, she definitely deserves her own movie. Thanks for this!
I honestly thought Sam died as a causality in a Wild West town raid by bandits. I had no idea this was premeditated assault on Kate and Sam for being together. It all clicked when I saw the rest of the town wasn’t on fire and when the sheriff said it wasn’t against the law for Kate to kiss sam but the opposite was. When I was a kid I was so naive. Crazy
I also thought that I always thought is was just a bandit attack on the town and Sam got caught in the attack And the reason she killed the sheriff is because she blamed home for not being able to save Sam
@@nyrangers9440 I was a little kid and didn’t pay that much attention It wasn’t until years later when I was in high school and rewatched the movie and realized what was going on
The way she holds Sam's face at the end when she sees him for the first time in years and then the way he fades away when she looks back is one of the most heart melting but saddest scenes in the world, I wanna look at someone like that one day 🌹
So nobody wants to talk about the fact that Zero finds all the peaches in the boat, meaning Sam was never really interested in the peaches to begin with?!? He just wanted to spend time with her! 😭😭😭

1:27 One of my favorite things about this movie is how Louis Sachar (who wrote both the screenplay and the book) wrote this detail, then when Stanley and Zero were being swarmed by lizards, but not bitten, the movie doesn't flash back to this scene, it lets the audience connect the details that they were eating Sam's onions beforehand. That's a movie respecting the audience's intelligence, even for a kid's film.
Yes! I always loved how all it took was two lines to allow to audience to connect it. When Sam says, “Yellow-Spotted Lizards don’t like my onions” and then later Magnet telling them boys, “You smell like onions!” I love your words of respecting the audience‘s intelligence. Perfectly said!

This is one of the best interracial romances in the world. It really hits you in the feels
ShipBeano Studios I think it’s one of the best romances period
no no no, it is *the* best romance.
@@epiccoolawesomehandle, not really. Half, if not all, of the hardships that they endured was based upon race. That should make it one of the best (fictional) interracial love stories of all time.
Kate Barlow is probably one of the most awesome characters ever!
I barely even registered that it was an interracial or taboo romance back in the day, I was just more focused on how much I liked the two characters and how great the story was.
“If you hang him, better hang me too, because I kissed him back.” She said it with such conviction and was proud of her love for him and didn’t care who knew it! And she also said it kinda vengeful as well translating to something like “haha Sam wins my love, not you creeps” because they all wanted her and she knows they did but she never wanted then and Sam won her over.
That day she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "I can fix that", what he meant was "I love you."
Just like the princess bride ........... as you wish = I love you

Just realized that Kate was sitting with Sam’s remains when she died and Sam also took with him Kate’s peaches when he tried to escape. Otherwise, Zero would have had nothing to eat.
omg it's all connected
Seeing how the boat was flipped over instead of right side up, they most likely took Sam's body back, but left the boat. They most likely did the same thing when she died because there were no bones or clothes by the time Zero and Stanley got there. Still, they both died at the same place.
@@rebeccamichael626 with all the wildlife around no telling what happened to dead bodies. Boat sunk and that's where it landed on the lake floor before it dried up
Yeah but didn't the peaches fuck up Zero's stomach when he and Stanley were climbing up the mountain?
Kissin' Kate Barlow's body was probably turned into the authorities to collect a bounty on her head.
This is why Holes is a masterpiece, it told multiple stories into one and it all worked
"You, your children and your children's children will dig for the next 100 years, and you will NEVER find it."
Kate's punishment to Walker and his whole family for him murdering an innocent man she loved who was kind, honest, and hard-working to everybody.
Son of Hecate and Stanley and zero got the last laugh: excuse me
If I was writing the script for this movie, I would have added this line:
Katherine: And even if you *do* find it, you might as well be stealing yourself...because it won't rightly belong to you.
Honest? He sold his onions claiming they did all these special treatments like growing hair and other bullshit XD
Mr Durva they proved to be true cause they helped Stanley and zero survive for all that time
@@Durva360 those Onions did do all that though. They were magic or something.
Fun fact: Mr. Carlewood (the bald guy at the beginning who Sam gave an onion tonic for hair growth) is in fact Louis Sachar, the author of the book Holes!
I wonder if he liked how they did the movie
Why wouldn’t he? It was pretty accurate
And Sam is just there roasting him about being bald. Savage
Lmao, i just thought it would be so funny if when mr carlewood took his hat off, sam shouldve said, "i can fix that"
Wow how d’you know that
"Your children, and your children's children will be diggin' for the next one hundred years and you will never find it. Start diggin' trout.." -Katherine Barlow, 1925
It was in the 1800’s
I think it’s supposed to be Texas circa 1899
How long was the treasure buried for
So I looked it up....in the book it's 1888 when Kate and Sam fall in love, and it's twenty years later when she dies, so 1908.
@@imbwildrd3693 The same time George Luger made the Iconic German Service Pistol, the Luger P08... Though he made the first working rendition of it as far back as 1900.
Damn this is probably one of the most badass anti-hero stories I’ve ever heard and never realized it. I need a full western movie about Kissin’ Kate Barlow
I think her story is so brilliant because of it's brevity. In 50 pages Louis Sachar makes you really care and feel something. He leaves it at that forever, a very sad tale.
It's like a combination anti hero AND anti villain. I don't see these a lot and it's masterfully done here
I love how in her crew are native Americans (who were also oppressed in that time) and i love how she loved a black man (in which we all know was oppressed in that time) she was ahead of her time by a long shot.
Not ahead of her time, just not an ignorant bigot. People seem to think that everyone was racist back in those days. They werent. It was a pretty small percent of people who were openly racist and treated black people poorly. Everyone else was like her, normal people who lived amongst eachother. Racism is taught. There was a lot more ignorance back then, but it wasn't everyone.
I remember my black sgt showing me pictures of black people being hanged on a tree with white people watching and smiling at the view. Racism was pretty bad and pretty real. Maybe not to extreme degree but it was there
@@jRex918 yeah. It scares me as time passes people act like it wasn't as bad as it truly was.
@@Noneofyourbyisness Like anything in our history shows we all have to acknowledge the past or else we're doomed to repeat it. Racism is still in our current time but not as bad as it was in old times. Least people can actually be civilized by choice now days if they choose to. Sometimes people forget there are bad seeds in every race not one as a whole putting labels on every person that belongs to said race causes more strife.

Can we just talk about how Trout probably met his wife Linda when she was still a child and he was in his late 20s
🤢🤮
In the 1880s and 1890s, when the Federal Government began giving pensions to Civil War veterans many young women began marrying older war veterans in the hopes of receiving their pension when the men died. It was not uncommon. Also, Trout Walker in this film is pretty sleazy so I wouldn't put it passed him to woo a teenage girl.
I also think it’s interesting that Linda seemed to feel a tad sympathetic when Kate said she’d been waiting to die for a long time. I mean that was her former teacher
@@ss04to06 that makes the girls sound scummy going after the men in that case.
Think she would have been about 17 when she married him, but the age difference is still iffy.
" I been wishin’ I was dead for a long time “ that’s rlly deep & something I missed over when I was a child but coming back to watch the whole movie now, this movie was more then just a Disney movie
I think even Linda didn't like to hear Kate say that.
That's because Disney Pictures didn't write it. They only distributed it.
I remember reading the story back in school, so it was epic when a movie was made and got to see it.
It's sad because she expected to get killed when she committed her crimes. She probably got an adrenaline rush from doing all of that and being close to death.
I only watched it because of the book. I wouldn't have if I'd known it was Disney. And the movie cover is juvenile compared to the topics covered.
I love the way kate talks.. she talks in cursive yeehaw
yelfaye CURSIVE YEEHAW 😂
I never knew "cursive yeehaw" was a phrase to be used for Kissin Kate Barlow, but it fits so damn freaking well! *cursive yeehaw* !

Big Mooga 😂
I feel terrible for Katherine. She lost the 2 things she loved: Sam and the school. So I can understand why she did what she did to Trout and the sheriff and why she took the location of her loot to the grave
She lost faith in her home to.
They turned against her..
She deserved Sam, so she deserved to become a she-bandit
I watched this movie in school, and one thing that really wowed me was the story of Kissing Kate Barlow. It's freakishly scary that a young, sweet, loving, damsel like and innocent teacher turns into a badass, dangerous, female fatale, tough criminal. That really shows how grief, tragedy and losing someone dear and near can impact a person. Even though she was a murderer and bandit, I actually felt really sorry for her.
The whole movie is freaking amazing and I recommend everyone to watch it! And read the book! How can I miss the book? Such a shame that it's underrated, which is so unnecceptable.
There is so many symbolism, connections, twists, and it's so good that all of these stories in the past connect to the present!
So clever!
Well, it's the trials in our lives that make us use our dark side too. And sometimes the trials are so hard, we embrace the darkness allthough it makes unhappy for the rest of our days.
"Its so hot, Sam, but I feel so cold..."
The book is better
I've never seen the film but I can fix that
I think sexism was also something that just turned her
I love these multi-story movies. Where completely different storylines, in the end, converge to make the best ending for all.
Technically it’s all one big storyline
Thank the book dude
you should watch babel
Reminds me of the Saw films. Awesome intertwining stories that sadly get rather mislabeled into a “torture porn” category.
yesssss. reading Holes as a kid, it blew my freaking mind when stuff started connecting. Madam Zeroni, the curses, one of the Yelnats having been robbed by Kissin' Kate and so the treasure that was found in the end in fact belonged to the youngest Stanley, the Warden having descended from the Trout family -- even small details like Zero learning to read and thus being able to read the name on the treasure, the boys having eaten loads of raw onions which later saved their lives against the venomous lizards bc the lizards didn't like onions + having the lizards with them was the boys' main defense in the standoff against the Warden & Co........man i can go on and on. the whole book is brilliant. the writer was so good at planting and pay-off, and utilizing all the Chekhov's Guns.
Every time he Sam says "I can fix that" it reminds me of Wesley saying "As you wish" from the Princess Bride and my heart flutters just a little bit more.❤
Emma McMahon that’s exactly what I thought
SAME!!!
Entei from Pokémon.
It’s like his way of saying “I love you.”
What i love about Kate’s curse on Trout was the fact that it didn’t require any magic and or other worldly power
Trout and his family line spent their entire lives looking for the treasure, driving all of them into madness and contaminating their lives with obsession and bitterness
prisoners of their own greed
No better curse.
I’m sure she probably had some divine intervention by God.
@@vince11harrisWell it is implied that the reason the Lake dried up was due to the town's sin of killing an innocent man (Sam). So I think God must have cursed the area, then it rains after the treasure is found and the Warden (Trout's descendant) is sent to jail for her crimes. Ie. The curse is lifted.

@@jaypritchett6846 her seeing it probably took it to the next level for real
like they say in criminal minds it was her trigger
@@JP-pp2tnYeah her stressor.
Something that I finally noticed about Kate's "Still want that kiss?" scene. She was a Teacher, and female teachers in her time were required to be single. A scandal like being seen with Sam would definitely have cost her her job. That coupled with the fact that she appears in bright red, with bright red lipstick on (a very provocative thing to wear at that time, bold makeup was generally how one identified prostitutes) and the way she teases the Sheriff when taking off the bonnet. The Sheriff thought the pretty teacher that everyone was after, was desperate for cash after losing her job, and was offering more than just a kiss.
🤯🤯🤯
Would definitely explain the reactions of the inmates seeing her come in as well. They thought they were about to witness something exciting and boy were they right.
That smile on his face when she offered him a kiss, but then the look of horror when she pulled her gun out as well
Such a heartbreaking love story. Katherine and Sam, two amazing and sweet people who loved each other for their sweet temperaments and like minds, torn apart just because some prejudiced man couldn't deal with rejection.
Salvador Eduardo González Flores Prejudiced is a more general term for racist if you didn't know.
That and Kate was only seen as a trophy
Sadly at the time it was the law to actually try black men for the relationship. So glad they struck that down
Such bullshit right?
goldosprey oh you meant the law okay. I thought you meant Sam.
i've never noticed this before, but in 1:26-1:30 sam says the lizards don't like the onion juice, which would explain why stanley and zero weren't bit at the end of the movie when they were sitting in the hole with the chest
That was pretty obvious and it's mentioned in the movie too when they come back to the camp.
I never realized that either lol I thought it was just his luck turning around because his curse had been lifted
I discussed this with my students just this week. Louis Sachar is very good at setting up plot elements early in the story that pay off at the end of the story. The onion juice repelling the lizards is an excellent example of this.
Duhhhhh lol good movie though
tiffany At first I actually thought the lizards were protecting Hector & Stanley from The Warden, Mr. Sir and Pendenski from taking the chest and killing them.

Back when Disney had balls to show a movie with problems no one wants to acknowledge today.
Well to be fair it’s easier to make a movie about the past issues than modern since modern Issues are subjective to people
Pirates of the Caribbean was really good on that too.

Patricia Arquette was amazing in this role. I couldn't picture anyone else playing Kate Barlow.
I know... tragic ....it was to filled with emotion for words😭😭😭
Most westerns, then and now, focus on a hero. Either that or a former outlaw who becomes a hero. If this had been made into a full on movie, focusing on the tragic backstory of a female outlaw, I think it would've gone down as one of the best westerns of all time.

Yup, we read the book! Man, such an awesome read then after that we watche the movie, didn't do anything for 2 days.
*Even though I hate my teacher* I feel you

😂😂😂 underrated comment
He just couldn't win
Apparently he always seemed proud of his stupidity
Grammar, Stanley
Stannis: fewer
I watched this with my younger sisters and they didn’t understand why they would kill Sam. They thought because she was so pretty and they he was just jealous. The look in their eyes broke me as I told them it was because he was black and it was illegal for him to kiss her. They couldn’t fathom such a thing. I really hope they never have to experience something as heartbreaking at that.
And that's only half the pain like kate felt when the sheriff told her it's against the law for him to kiss you not for you to kiss him. So even though she was suffering she realized it was still worse for him
When I first saw this movie when I was younger I thought that was the reason as well. It’s a shame.
Considering how half the men in town had the hots for Kate, I think there was some jealousy in there too. They just used the illegality of him kissing her as leverage to kill him, which they probably deep down wanted to do for a long time.
Yes even though Black people were free at that time they had stupid laws (Jim Crow Laws) to oppress the Black people. Trout and the Sheriff and others liked Kate but she wouldn't give them the time of day because of their wicked hearts. Sam was kind and caring and loving and she saw his good heart. Kate didn't care about race like many others did in that town. Trout was jealous of Sam because he won Kate's heart. It was a big blow to his ego as well because Sam was a black man. They were looking for an excuse to kill Sam because kissing a person shouldn't be punishable by death especially as Kate said " I kissed him back." She loved Sam and he loved her. It took many decades after that for the law to allowed interracial marriages in the South. smh..
George Floyd
I'm just going to say this, I like the way how after the Lizard bit/killed kate it walked up her body and flicked it's tounge against her cheek, me personally I feel like the lizard had given her a kiss after killing her... Sort of a way subtle way the directors could sneak in a little "What goes around comes around" moment, but that's just me....
Hmmm interesting now that you put it that way🤔
But they attacked her first it’s just self defense
Yeah but I was expecting her to writhe around a bit.
The tiny details in this film are amazing.

Master Knife The Sheriff was trouts dad.. no wonder why..
@@anisahnazario1528 The Sheriff wasn't Walker's father. He was presumably in Walker's pocket to let him be above the law in Green Lake.
Even back then, a white man could murder black people and not get arrested because of racial discrimination.
Master Knife these were different times and when African Americans were treated as animals or less than human
The crooked sheriff got what he wanted and he finally got that kiss from Kate, only she shot him dead as punishment for letting Sam die. She later began looting banks and finding the people who were responsible for Sam’s death to fill that void. Kate later punished Trout and his family by making them dig holes to find the treasure that originally belonged to Stanley’s family.
I love the little implication that ever since they murdered Sam, it hasn’t rained to fuel trout’s fortune. Like a self inflicted curse.
Divine curse on the area since the town killed an innocent man in cold blood.
Heavily theorized he's madam Zeroni's son (or grandson, considering he has no accent)
@@antithoughtpolice7497definitely has an accent. Just not the one she had
in the book, when the towns people murder Sam they try to justify their hate with religion, something about God punishing Kate and Sam for their sins.
After the murder the narration goes something like;

These moments never get old. She had no interest in killing trout because she was ready to die and she specifically wanted to die in the same spot as the man she loved. The one man who was sweet and smart and just embodied love. This legend honestly could have been its own movie
Just realised, we all know that Zero hides under the boat Mary Lou when he runs into the desert right? And we all know that Kate Barlow dies there - but they left her body. Of course in the extreme heat and about 80 years passing, her body would be completely gone, but here bones should be there, right? under the sand anyway - so essentially, zero and stanley are literally feet away from Kissin' Kate Barlow's remains, as they eat her spicy peaces, while in the sanctuary of her true love's boat. Wow.

Mr McLovin grow the fuck up that’s a shitty mindset to have no one is better than anyone else and I hope you wake up one day and realize how ignorant you were being when you wrote that
The actor who played Trout passed away in a car accident shortly after this film was released. RIP Scott Plank
rylecon gaming not the time buddy
rylecon gaming I’m aware, still inappropriate.
rylecon gaming rationalizing an actors death based on what his character in the film did is
@rylecon gaming you're gross
@rylecon gaming disrespectful.
As an adult, this movie hits different. Such a poignant yet sad story for Kate Barlow
A beautiful, lovely schoolteacher adorned by the entire town, now turned badass, unforgiving, dangerous outlaw due to her gentle, kind, caring beloved killed for kissing her
Perhaps a takeaway here is how much losing a loved one, especially one who’s innocent, can hurt/change those around them 😔
Also she felt guilt that her kiss signed a man's death sentence. Her using the kiss as a calling card after killing men was her reliving that trauma.
Why is it when a Woman becomes a Outlaw now she's Badass?!
The saddest part is seeing Mary-Lou dead. That amazing donkey!
Georgia I was thinking the same thing. I think that's what hurt me the most about this whole clip. Poor precious girl just minded her buisness being a good girl
Me too! I am an animal rights activist!😡
That was so unnecessary, the scene is already so well done in how tragic it is. But the way they just insert a shot of a dead donkey, it makes me half-expect a “donnnnnng” sound effect. Don’t get me wrong, animal deaths can be just as effective if done right, but this just felt like what is was-literal overkill.
this broke my heart sam was such a good man and they killed him because he was black and they murdered his beautiful sweet Mary Lou as well, so Kate died when sam did and she just wanted to hurt people the way she was hurt
We always have one of these comments lol👍🏽
People hurt different and some times that hurt turns into hurting others :/
I was already sad but when you told me they killed Mary Lou I got 90x sadder
They didn't kill him because he was black, they killed because they wanted to Kate Barlow for themselves.
Reading this my head said. N e g a n
Poor Katherine lived the rest of her days trying to avenge Sam and release those dark feelings but in the end it meant nothing...she just wanted to go back to Sam
Trying to? She did avenge his death. She killed all of the men that were involved in his death except trout.
@@demetriusshuler1391 True story!
AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT A BUTT PLUG!!!
@@demetriusshuler1391 Oh.. Thank god.. I thought she killed random men, that pissed me off to think about how she could've killed a kid's father or something, turns out it was the men who killed Sam, and ruined her life, I'm so relieved for that..
@@sunsetlover123-y7c Same. They deserved it.
Ok but when I read the Sam “fixing” Kate’s broken heart and kissing her it was literally adorable I- 😭😭
I never caught this as a kid but for the Sheriff to get drunk for a "hanging" symbols how he cant actually soberly kill a man shows how pathetic he is..
Yep. He always passes the sentence but he doesn’t have it in him to swing the sword.
@@jacksongibbs8998 Take a Rec for the Ned Statk reference.
I thought the same thing. I’m sure that’s how it was irl. Despised a group of people so much but don’t even have the guts to shed innocent blood with a sober mind
That’s what racist cowards like him do; get completely wasted first.
That’s an amazing observation. It makes the story just that more unjust. They can judge a man by the color of his skin, but can’t even look him in the eyes as they kill him.
Glad to see I'm not the only Kate Barlow fan out there. Ever since I read the book when I was eleven, and saw the movie, I've always took a liking to Kate. She died laughing. That's amazing!
It’s funny. If Kate never left Yelnats alive, then he wouldn’t have been able to find God’s Thumb and the onion garden Sam grew there. She saved the Yelnats family in more ways than one.
You're right. When you leave the ancestor alive, you unwittingly save generations. With the first Stanley Yelnats left alive, Stanley IV and Zero managed to live out the whole story of Holes. Pretty impressive how an outlaw managed to save the Yelnats family in one way by only robbing the ancestor.
an excellent statement however her robbery of Stanley the first brought suffering to 3 generations of his descendants.......... they certainly didn't deserve that! It's kind of sad especially for Stanley the 2nd...... that chest was literally his birth right taken away from him and in his old age he probably doesn't have many years left to enjoy the wealth he should have enjoyed his whole life... tragic. good statement though!
@@carson11100 Granted, they had that family curse on them too.
Leah Strother yeah true. Stanley’s 1 to 4 didn’t deserve that either......
The Yelnats were cursed by their ancestor. Being robbed was just part of the punishment for the crime of breaking a promise. Does that mean the deserved all the hardship? Probably not, but this whole movie/book is about what your family legacy does to you. The Warden, the Yelnats, and the Zeronis, not to mention the legacy of Jim Crow and slavery that befell Sam and led to his death. Life isn't fair. Poverty, racism, and privilege are all things handed down to you based on lineage and systematic oppression
Her voice was perfect for this, so full of sorrow. Idve loved to have seen a whole movie about Kate and Sam
9:02
Prisoner up front. "OH SHIT!!"
Prisoner in back. "I didn't see NOTHIN!"
I agree! Your awesome for putting this together! I have loved this movie since it came out but Kissin' Kate's story has always been my favorite part of this story, she definitely deserves her own movie. Thanks for this!
Amber Wallace You're welcome!
She really needs her own movie!
agsbiggestfan121 Maybe I'll start a petition for Disney to make one. haha
That would be awesome! Ill sign it! :-)
I can't believe they killed Sam for no reason.
12:28 I just love the way she says “ ...and you will never find it,”
It stuck with me my whole life
same! i love it.
I honestly thought Sam died as a causality in a Wild West town raid by bandits. I had no idea this was premeditated assault on Kate and Sam for being together. It all clicked when I saw the rest of the town wasn’t on fire and when the sheriff said it wasn’t against the law for Kate to kiss sam but the opposite was. When I was a kid I was so naive. Crazy
In the book they literally say "it's illegal for an n-word to kiss a white woman"
I also thought that
I always thought is was just a bandit attack on the town and Sam got caught in the attack
And the reason she killed the sheriff is because she blamed home for not being able to save Sam
@@danielcarrera886how on earth did you think that? The movie makes it clear as day that they killed Sam for wanting to be with Katherine. Wow
@@nyrangers9440
I was a little kid and didn’t pay that much attention
It wasn’t until years later when I was in high school and rewatched the movie and realized what was going on
I love Katherine. She deserved better
Her crying out his name breaks my heart every time
Me:crap I forgot my homework
Sam:I can fix that
Angelina Hiang OFFICIAL 😂😂😂😂😂 where can we get a Sam?
Oh yea
The way she holds Sam's face at the end when she sees him for the first time in years and then the way he fades away when she looks back is one of the most heart melting but saddest scenes in the world, I wanna look at someone like that one day 🌹
So nobody wants to talk about the fact that Zero finds all the peaches in the boat, meaning Sam was never really interested in the peaches to begin with?!? He just wanted to spend time with her! 😭😭😭
I think he was interested in the peaches to some extent but he was more interested in Kathryn
Stop don’t ruin the love story lol they were probably just back ups he didn’t get a chance to eat yet
Ironic since Katherine kept asking him to fix any little thing she could find about the schoolhouse because she loved spending time with him too ❤
i thought it was bc he was taking the peaches with him then got killed in the boat
I didn’t even connect that that was his boat😭
