Can we just pause for a moment and think about the fact that she's sitting against Sam's row boat that sunk when Sam died? It makes that whole idea that he's there with her that much more believable. It's so tragic. 😩😞
@thelorintu Nope! "Holes" is, unfortunately, a fictional story, and the yellow spotted lizards were a detail Sachar cooked up for the book. :) Though Texas does have plenty of other poisonous reptiles.
+Cameron Howe I get chills every time I hear her say that along with the, "Start digging Trout." Serves him right. He will spend the rest of his life looking for something he'll never get. I think at the point where he's an old man still looking for the loot, it's not about the loot (wealth) anymore, but the satisfaction of finding what Kate tried to keep from him.
+Leslie Ix That was the end of the curse on Stanley's family. The end of the curse on the lake was when the walker family lost ownership of the lake. It's two curses that Stanley basically stumbled upon breaking them both.
I think that god felt sad that Sam, the most innocent man was killed and as a result didn't bless the land with rain because Trout and the townsfolk didn't deserve it. and he only let it rain again once Stanley and Hector had broken the curse the Walkers caused.
Well yes and no yellow spotted lizards are real lizards but how they are depicted in the movie those kinds of lizards don't exist and by that I mean a lizard that looks like a bearded dragon that's venomous
You say this about fictional characters but when it comes to real life criminals, people are like "I've been through a lot but you don't see me murdering anyone"
@@morbidsearchYes and No. People say that when the murderer goes around murdering innocent people because of their pain. However, most people usually cheer at revenge stores agent just the people who have truly wronged you. Murdering an innocent person you care about for example.
For people wondering why Kate didn't just kill Trout and avenge Sam's death, she left him alive because she wanted him to suffer. He lost everything, ended up with a wife who only was with him for his money, and spent the rest of his life driving himself crazy digging holes in a dried up lakebed in the desert looking for a treasure that he would never find. She left him to a fate worse than death and inflicted the same agony on him that he inflicted on her (wanting something so desperately and knowing he will never have it.) Kate got her revenge.
@@SaiyanSweetheart45 Yeah and not to mention his wife is their and if she were to kill her she most likely would not kiss cause she's not a lesbian or bi.
Don't forget the other part of it: The Yelnats still existed back then. Even if they did find it, it was still in someone else's name. They lost the treasure before they ever dug the first hole.
@@videohistory722 Maybe they wouldn't have been able to sell the stock deeds but they still could have sold the jewels. And there was likely more treasure buried in the sand that belonged to other people.
I love this entire scene, but I think one of my favorite lines is, "Oh Linda, you were such a good student. You must have married him for his money." Kate still has enough humanity in her to be disappointed by the bad life choices a promising student made.
Because she loved Sam for who he was and hated who she became not only without him, but because of the betrayal of the town she once felt apart of. The promise left when they killed Sam, and seeing a student she once taught marry the man that killed him only verified why she lost promise to begin with.
This is a good example of a change from the source material done _right._ In the book, the lizard was just a happy accident. There's a lot more emotional weight to Kate simply picking up the lizard and coaxing it to bite her. Coupled with that line she delivers so calmly to Trout. Trout: When I'm through with you, you're gonna wish you _was_ dead! Kate: I've been wishin' I was dead for a _long_ time... There's really not much he can do to threaten her at that point. She's already been through enough pain, it's almost as if she's grown numb to it all. She's lost her lover, her home, her livelihood, _her sanity..._ there's really nothing else he can take from her, nothing else he can do to hurt her and she knows it. In her last moments, she defies this man who managed to ruin her life for petty reasons, both by refusing to tell him what he wants to know and by mocking him over the fact that, at this point, he can't hurt her anymore.

Just went through a breakup and taking it out on everyone else.Now I feel completely lost and alone,thats the whole reason I'm even viewing this video rn.Just wish I wasn't such a fuck up,im alone and in the dark now.I ain't gonna kill myself but I wish I was dead right now.So I can also relate to those words
I lost my mother earlier this year…my best friend. Honestly, I feel the same. For being gay and having her being concerned for my safety constantly…it wasn’t fair to her
I know what you mean. Kissin Kate Barlow may have been the worst outlaw that ever lived, but it wasn’t entirely her own fault. I think Trout is the real outlaw, before the outlaw.
Kate’s last stand was prophetic, she stated that Trout, his children and his children’s children will continue to dig, but they will never find the loot. This was her last laugh against the man who had ruined her life and destroyed his own fortune when the lake dried up. Trout became obsessed with finding the chest, wanting to get the last laugh at the woman who spited him. He even instilled this obsession into his own granddaughter. Ironically, Kate did get the last laugh since the Walkers didn’t find the chest - but rather the rightful owner’s descendant, Stanley Yelnats IV.
Not only that, Kate's peaches and Sam's onions saved Stanley IV and Hectro Zerony while stranded in the desert. More than even that, Kate Barlow met Stanley Yelnats I, robbed him for his chest including bank bonds and instead of killing him, she left him alive within walking-distance of Sam's old onion field. She sparred somebody who's descendent's who got the last laugh on Trout Walker's granddaughter, and ensured she met justice for horrible crimes going back generations.
I feel like this story could be a movie all by itself. Kate is such a complex character. Not necessarily evil but someone who went down a dark path because of their circumstances. A good reminder that how someone is treated often does impact how that person treats others. Her story is also a reminder that you don’t know someone until you know their story. Some characters just see her as a fearsome outlaw, but when you dive deeper into her story you realize she was someone who was only driven to brutality as a response to the brutality shown to her. Had the circumstances been different she probably never would have went down that path. She was a character who’s motivations you could definitely understand, even if you don’t necessarily condone them (especially when she started targeting innocent people).
When Trout was asking Kate where the loot is, I feel he has no one to blame for his poverty but himself. Kate lost her lover to racism. If Trout had minded his own business that night, Sam would still be alive and nothing would have changed. Trout would still have his wealth, green lake wouldn't dry up and Kate wouldn't go insane because of him. This was God's punishment for him and all the other people in the town who were racist.
I love how he murdered Sam out of hate and racism and in return he lost everything by his own hand. This story was so devastating and so underrated. I feel so sad for the world history because similar real story’s like this will have happened with no justice. Sam saying I can fix that was telling her at the end that it was time to come home ❤️
you your children and your childrens children will dig for the next 100 years and you'll never find it... something about that part gives me goosebumps!
Notice that Sam looked up at Trout and Linda before Kate even noticed them. If she were hallucinating, if Sam was just in her head, then how did Sam notice them?
They do it, to make us more entertained and make us think of even more things once it is read. It’s meant to throw us off and I believe it was a fictional book.
In some respects, Kate was a victim. She didn't find herself attracted to Walker when everyone wanted a minute of his time or to be associated with him. She was just born in the wrong time period before interracial relationships would become legal in America. Granted, becoming an outlaw and bank robber wasn't a second left that could right the wrong of Sam's murder, but she went down a dark path with no one to bring her back to redemption. Kate lost everything she ever wanted, but to see her die knowing that she never gave Charles Walker anything to work with beyond "Start digging" was a moment of savagery beyond measure. In her final moments, Miss Katherine Barlow of Green Lake, Texas, did what she had always done: Spurn Trout Walker.
I love that she subjected him to a life of going crazy trying to find his precious fortune. A fate worse than death, and that’s why she chose not to kill him.
WHEN SHE SAYS "I BEEN WISHING I WAS DEAD FOR A LONG TIME" 😭 THAT IS SO HEARTBREAKING. SHE MISSES SAM SO MUCH AND LIFE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WITHOUT HIM.💔
She only robbed & killed other outlaws. She didn’t kill innocent people, like how she didn’t kill Stanley’s great great grandfather... but she killed everyone els in the horse carriage he was in... she became darkness, feeding on other darkness.
One of the best scenes in movie history honestly and its a DISNEY MOVIE like what!? Her whole story could have been a movie itself. This whole movie could have been a show with seasons and flashbacks and life stories of everyone involved just wow. This movie and scene is so slept on and I say that cause it only got 7 out of 10 stars .
Anyone notice how the music is broken and weird when she's alone - it shows just how heartbroken and lonely she is and then when she see's Sam's mirage the music pics up into a soft romantic symphony, she loved that boy a lot. And the music reflects how broken she is over his death.
Yeah, the music itself makes this scene powerful. Kate lost her lover to racism and jealousy, so she spent the next twenty years of her life as an outlaw until one day she came back to Camp Green Lake and made peace with herself. She buried the Yelnats family chest so that Trout Walker and his family would never find it; it was her final act of revenge. She allowed herself to be bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard, knowing that she would die and reunite with Sam.
I love how, even though the lizards are portrayed as a menacing, deadly force of nature, they actually helped the protagonists the most. This one put Kate out of her misery. Years later, a nest of them saved Stanley and Zero from being taken by the Warden.
SoloraGoldsun The lizards would have been the death of them, but because they found the onion garden, they would not be bit. Because in the novel, Sam said that onions acted as lizard repellant.
Is it bad that EVERY TIME, ever since the first time I watched this movie, whenever she says "It's so hot Sam, but I feel so cold." It always makes me cry or want to cry because I can feel the broken sorrow in her voice? 💔 Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good her acting skills are? They seriously sound and seem real!!!🥺😩👌👏👏👏❤
I like the fact that she's got a gun in her face held by the man who killed the love of her life, and she just ignored him to talk about her former student's poor decisions. Boss move.
JadeToniRitsa L this is a great adaptation don't get me wrong but (correct me if I'm wrong i haven't read the book in a long time) didn't they have Kate wandering for days in the desert before she let the lizard kill her
poker8100 Hence, adaptation. It's implied she's been wandering the desert for a while with the haze and the hallucinations of same. Some things in books simply can't or don't translate well in visual media. That's why adaptations are a thing. But for a lot of movies, they end up glossing over or skipping important feels and messages the author originally tried to convey.
This is my logic on this. This movie is full of curses so when she says. “You, your children and your children’s children will dig” Etc. trout walker had a fearful look in his eyes right as she said that. And That’s exactly what happened. His granddaughter was the warden of the camp and she drove her self crazy looking for that loot. and as soon as kissing Kate barlo said “you will never find it”. To trout walker The lizard came out and she said “come here sweet heart” to the lizard but almost as if the lizard were Sam himself and she gave her life to him. Like they both out the curse on their family together. Also As soon as the warden gets arrested Stanley’s curse is broken and I believe that madam zeroni may have been an elder relative to Sam because she could curse people and Sam had majestic onions that cured many things They are all related in some way shape and form and it’s just my theory but it makes the most sense to me
Yeah, killing Sam cursed the land, Kate cursed trout and his family line for all the evil they had done, Stanley's ancestor was cursed for failing to fulfill his promise...
Actually they were two seperate curses. Through sheer coincedence both of them happened to lined up. Zero plays an important role because zero is madame zeronis descendant. When stanley heals zero the curse is broken which allows them to break the curse of green lake through stanleys good luck
@Paul Pablo Except it wasn't coincidence. The main theme of the book/movie was destiny. The actions of evil people in the past only ultimately contributed to the well-being of the innocent much later.
Same here! Sam’s ghost is warm and compassionate towards Kate because he knows that she’s heartbroken over his death and that’s what led her to become an feared outlaw.
I've always wondered why is it that Kissing Kate didn't kill Stanley Yelnats , despite the fact she killed his driver and stole the man's treasure. Yelnats became a rich man, someone Kate obviously wouldn't have much sympathy for. Then I remember Walker's fate: His lake and wealth was dried up, he was married to woman with no love for him, and he spent his final years digging for a treasure he couldn't find. A man who seeks wealth, and spends his life getting nothing is the ultimate curse. Yelnats himself achieved wealth, only to lose it at the hands of Kissing Kate, and later his sanity by wandering around in the desert. His descendants were also cursed with rotten luck. So maybe Kate realized this while holding Yelnats at gunpoint, and decided this man's fate. So maybe after punishing Yelnats that way, she realized that it would be a great way to punish the man who ruined her.
Nathan Seper She unwittingly set off the events that would reunite the Yelnats family with the Zeroni family, fulfill the deal they made in the past, and thus end their cycle of misfortune.
well it's weird how Linda didn't deny she married Walker for his money. also it disappeared and she still stayed w/ him. theyre both set on finding the fortune.
Probably also excited she didn't have to kill (and kiss) Trout and was leaving on her own terms, cealing the curse that they wouldn't find the loot when she killed herself with the lizard. Definitely powerful - id go out laughing too!
Notice how she didn’t even flinch when trout walker shot his shot gun right next to her to kill the lizard goes to show that she really didn’t care how she died as long as she was dead
@@SethKolbePrefectActually Kate was careful up until the moment where she and Sam kissed. She never said her love openly, but she would keep asking him to fix something in the schoolhouse as an excuse to see him. It was only when she ran out of assignments to give him that she couldn’t hide it anymore.
I think the two things that really stand out to me, is swell of emotion in the musical score. And then how you can just feel her love for Sam when she says his name. It honestly was so perfect it almost felt like they were lovers off camera. Also the voice acting in this scene is just fantastic. Kate's character was acted with so much finesse that she feels like a real person who lived and died on this earth.
Even though its sad, I love how she got back at Trout- she was able to screw him over by dying and keeping her loot's location a secret- She made sure that not he would suffer but his entire family! Damn, she was angry
Trout deserved it. He killed Sam just because he was an African American who won Kate's heart. Sam's death destroyed Kate and caused her to become an outlaw for twenty years. So, in return, Kate got her revenge on Trout by hiding the Yelnats family treasure so that Trout and his family will suffer for all eternity.
@@leoroemer6085 I dislike the concept of generational curses. While it's likely that a douche like Trout raising a child will cause them to turn into a douche in turn, it's effectively punishing the blameless. Someone who had no relation to the initial wrong is punished despite not being at fault. The warden was certainly a douche herself, but as we hear from her story it's because he made her spend every single day digging holes, even on holidays. It's basically all she knew, and all she could do was peg her hopes on one of the children finding the treasure so she could finally escape the hell she had lived in her whole life.
I know your comment is old but what do you mean by that? That Linda remembers the kind schoolteacher Kate used to be, or that she knows Kate would have no problem dying without telling them where the treasure was and thus rendering their threats meaningless?
@@terminallumbago6465 What I mean is, look at her facial reaction after Kate says it. I think Linda still remembers how Kate was, and hasn't disregarded her as such.
@@Sharkie626 I never really thought about that, but now that I see it, I agree with you. After all, she did warn Kate that Trout was a desperate man and she'd better tell him what he wanted to know; maybe she wasn't threatening Kate at all but trying to spare her whatever Trout had in mind if she didn't cooperate. I believe the book didn't actually do this, which makes the movie that much better. This movie scene just gives me such nostalgia for their past, even though it's not one I was a part of, or even a real one. I have no idea how that even works, but it sure speaks for a good movie.
Kate: It's so hot Sam, but I feel so cold. (Sam's ghost appears) Kate: Sam. Sam: I can fix that. Trout: You got 5 seconds to tell me where you buried the loot. Ruined the moment
In the book, Kate wasn't armed when Trout found her. They probably added the "I ain't gonna kill you" to explain why she never went out of her way in the first place to kill him. To fill in that hole, she spares him for the same reason she did with Stanley Yelnats I: she lets them live with curses.
JackInTheWild how much worse would itve been if Kate let the 🦎 bite her throat right on the Adams apple? Would her skin turn purple and she start bleeding out her eyes before succumbing to the sweet sweet release of death?
At least she and Sam are together and they can both RIP. The Warden's family deserved to be punished for what her grandfather did to Sam and creating Kissing Kate Barlow.
The song is called "Fate Turns" and it's off the score for the movie written by Joel McNeely. The score can be somewhat difficult to find for purchase, but if you look it up on youtube there is a full album streaming option. :)
One question I have, wouldn't have Trout and Linda have gotten the reward money for turning in Kate's body? Remember on the wanted posers: DEAD OR ALIVE!
If they did turn in the body, that might've explained the car Trout owned when he was an old man (it's in the background at the end of the movie where the Warden is a child and she's digging with him). Obviously, cars of that model weren't around during the 1920s when Kate died, but maybe he saved the reward money and spent it later on down the line.
@windchimex In the book version my class is reading, she kisssed all her victims. I'm not sure if she killed anyone innocent but she went crazy after Sam died.
My favorite parts in this movie were scenes that involve the bearded dragons walking or sitting on the cast members. From what I’ve heard, they were very welled behaved and never bit anyone, which doesn’t surprise me, because bearded dragons are generally sweet lizards. I know they can bite, but as long as they’re in good hands, they’re great animals.

I always felt bad for Kissing Kate Barlow how she went from a loving school teacher to a murderer. Sad scene...

Kate: "I've been wishing I was dead for a long time."

Not only that, Kate's peaches and Sam's onions saved Stanley IV and Hectro Zerony while stranded in the desert. More than even that, Kate Barlow met Stanley Yelnats I, robbed him for his chest including bank bonds and instead of killing him, she left him alive within walking-distance of Sam's old onion field.
She sparred somebody who's descendent's who got the last laugh on Trout Walker's granddaughter, and ensured she met justice for horrible crimes going back generations.
And Stanley Yelnats I had been avenged.
And the Walkers lost in the end.
I feel like this story could be a movie all by itself. Kate is such a complex character. Not necessarily evil but someone who went down a dark path because of their circumstances. A good reminder that how someone is treated often does impact how that person treats others. Her story is also a reminder that you don’t know someone until you know their story. Some characters just see her as a fearsome outlaw, but when you dive deeper into her story you realize she was someone who was only driven to brutality as a response to the brutality shown to her. Had the circumstances been different she probably never would have went down that path. She was a character who’s motivations you could definitely understand, even if you don’t necessarily condone them (especially when she started targeting innocent people).
When Trout was asking Kate where the loot is, I feel he has no one to blame for his poverty but himself. Kate lost her lover to racism. If Trout had minded his own business that night, Sam would still be alive and nothing would have changed. Trout would still have his wealth, green lake wouldn't dry up and Kate wouldn't go insane because of him. This was God's punishment for him and all the other people in the town who were racist.
Marigold0156 Thats whats makes this book/movie so unique.
It tests the sins of humanitys ignorance.
Marigold0156 no she lost him to envy as well. Trout wanted her
Tell me about it. Trout is nothing but an egotistic, narcissistic sociopath.
PREACH!!!
Nate didn't go crazy, she realized the world she lived in wasnt civilized, so she raised a little hell to even the odds and to cope with sams death
"I can fix that" is now one of my favourite phrases.
I love how he murdered Sam out of hate and racism and in return he lost everything by his own hand. This story was so devastating and so underrated. I feel so sad for the world history because similar real story’s like this will have happened with no justice. Sam saying I can fix that was telling her at the end that it was time to come home ❤️
you your children and your childrens children will dig for the next 100 years and you'll never find it... something about that part gives me goosebumps!
Anyone else really think that was Sam's ghost and not her imagination?
Yes!
jkrfan7 Yeah, especially since Stanley sees Sam while on the bus to camp.
he was there for her. didn't have to wait very long either
GameAddict51 that was a mirage
Notice that Sam looked up at Trout and Linda before Kate even noticed them.
If she were hallucinating, if Sam was just in her head, then how did Sam notice them?
Ah, the bloody bit ultimately tragic tale of Kissin' Kate Barlow. It's an amazing subplot.
Duckling Plays yea I love that book I don't like when they don't do what the book has in it
They do it, to make us more entertained and make us think of even more things once it is read. It’s meant to throw us off and I believe it was a fictional book.
In some respects, Kate was a victim. She didn't find herself attracted to Walker when everyone wanted a minute of his time or to be associated with him. She was just born in the wrong time period before interracial relationships would become legal in America. Granted, becoming an outlaw and bank robber wasn't a second left that could right the wrong of Sam's murder, but she went down a dark path with no one to bring her back to redemption. Kate lost everything she ever wanted, but to see her die knowing that she never gave Charles Walker anything to work with beyond "Start digging" was a moment of savagery beyond measure. In her final moments, Miss Katherine Barlow of Green Lake, Texas, did what she had always done: Spurn Trout Walker.
I love that she subjected him to a life of going crazy trying to find his precious fortune. A fate worse than death, and that’s why she chose not to kill him.
WHEN SHE SAYS "I BEEN WISHING I WAS DEAD FOR A LONG TIME" 😭 THAT IS SO HEARTBREAKING. SHE MISSES SAM SO MUCH AND LIFE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WITHOUT HIM.💔
“It’s so hot Sam, but I feel so cold”
Cause she been turned into a cold blooded killer and she was over it..metaphoric I think
I can fix that 🤣😂😂
@@spetes5324 Feeling cold despite the heat is also a symptom of sunstroke. But I like your idea too, more poetic.
I felt that line. 😔
Even though she was a killer, I felt so bad for Kate... 😔
GameAddict51 Her first vistim deserved it for sexually harassing her when she needed help
She only robbed & killed other outlaws. She didn’t kill innocent people, like how she didn’t kill Stanley’s great great grandfather... but she killed everyone els in the horse carriage he was in... she became darkness, feeding on other darkness.
Who mad her a killer?
Trout, his family and their bought and paid for sheriff...
Maybe she was more of an instrument in God's punishment against the sins of humanity, like racism to start with.
most of the people there at that time were racists so most of the victims there probably deserved it
One of the best scenes in movie history honestly and its a DISNEY MOVIE like what!? Her whole story could have been a movie itself. This whole movie could have been a show with seasons and flashbacks and life stories of everyone involved just wow. This movie and scene is so slept on and I say that cause it only got 7 out of 10 stars .
Okay now you got me wanting one it would have been great what would the theme song be
Anyone notice how the music is broken and weird when she's alone - it shows just how heartbroken and lonely she is and then when she see's Sam's mirage the music pics up into a soft romantic symphony, she loved that boy a lot. And the music reflects how broken she is over his death.
Yeah, the music itself makes this scene powerful. Kate lost her lover to racism and jealousy, so she spent the next twenty years of her life as an outlaw until one day she came back to Camp Green Lake and made peace with herself. She buried the Yelnats family chest so that Trout Walker and his family would never find it; it was her final act of revenge. She allowed herself to be bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard, knowing that she would die and reunite with Sam.
I love how, even though the lizards are portrayed as a menacing, deadly force of nature, they actually helped the protagonists the most. This one put Kate out of her misery. Years later, a nest of them saved Stanley and Zero from being taken by the Warden.
SoloraGoldsun The lizards would have been the death of them, but because they found the onion garden, they would not be bit. Because in the novel, Sam said that onions acted as lizard repellant.
@@WillieMangaSam also said the lizards didn’t like his spicy onions
Is it bad that EVERY TIME, ever since the first time I watched this movie, whenever she says "It's so hot Sam, but I feel so cold." It always makes me cry or want to cry because I can feel the broken sorrow in her voice? 💔
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good her acting skills are? They seriously sound and seem real!!!🥺😩👌👏👏👏❤
True. I have to admit that I choked up watching this scene.
I love that I been wishen I was dead for a long time
The moment where she looks back with her hand still outreached and realizes he’s not really there is honestly one of my favorite bits of acting ever.
I like the fact that she's got a gun in her face held by the man who killed the love of her life, and she just ignored him to talk about her former student's poor decisions. Boss move.
And made him and his family suffer even in the future
I feel nothing but sympathy for Kate in this scene. She had such a long hard and sad life.
I wonder how come her skeleton wasn't up against the boat when Zero was hiding in it? And where was Sam's skeleton, he was shot in the boat.
Actually she wasn’t killed in the cabin... it mentions she gets blisters from walking without shoes, For walking so long.
They did say in the movie that buzzards are out there and they likely picked at her body until there was nothing left.
See all you shit books-turned-movies out there! THIS is how you take a book and make it into a fucking GREAT FILM!
except the movie Is the same as the book
To be fair the movie doesn't stem far from the book unlike other novel based movies that make drastic changes
JadeToniRitsa L this is a great adaptation don't get me wrong but (correct me if I'm wrong i haven't read the book in a long time) didn't they have Kate wandering for days in the desert before she let the lizard kill her
in the book yeah
poker8100 Hence, adaptation. It's implied she's been wandering the desert for a while with the haze and the hallucinations of same. Some things in books simply can't or don't translate well in visual media. That's why adaptations are a thing. But for a lot of movies, they end up glossing over or skipping important feels and messages the author originally tried to convey.
This is my logic on this. This movie is full of curses so when she says. “You, your children and your children’s children will dig” Etc. trout walker had a fearful look in his eyes right as she said that.
And That’s exactly what happened. His granddaughter was the warden of the camp and she drove her self crazy looking for that loot. and as soon as kissing Kate barlo said “you will never find it”. To trout walker The lizard came out and she said “come here sweet heart” to the lizard but almost as if the lizard were Sam himself and she gave her life to him. Like they both out the curse on their family together.
Also As soon as the warden gets arrested Stanley’s curse is broken and I believe that madam zeroni may have been an elder relative to Sam because she could curse people and Sam had majestic onions that cured many things
They are all related in some way shape and form and it’s just my theory but it makes the most sense to me
Yeah, killing Sam cursed the land,
Kate cursed trout and his family line for all the evil they had done,
Stanley's ancestor was cursed for failing to fulfill his promise...
Yeah I always thought Madame Zeroni and Sam were related since this movie was all about ancestry.
Actually they were two seperate curses. Through sheer coincedence both of them happened to lined up. Zero plays an important role because zero is madame zeronis descendant. When stanley heals zero the curse is broken which allows them to break the curse of green lake through stanleys good luck
Arty Munoz the curse was broken when stanley carried hector *zeroni* up the mountain and sang while he drank
@Paul Pablo Except it wasn't coincidence. The main theme of the book/movie was destiny. The actions of evil people in the past only ultimately contributed to the well-being of the innocent much later.
Can anyone see the warmth and compassion in Sam's eyes? I can!
Same here! Sam’s ghost is warm and compassionate towards Kate because he knows that she’s heartbroken over his death and that’s what led her to become an feared outlaw.
This scene always makes me cry!
"I was wishing I was dead for a long time."
I've always wondered why is it that Kissing Kate didn't kill Stanley Yelnats , despite the fact she killed his driver and stole the man's treasure. Yelnats became a rich man, someone Kate obviously wouldn't have much sympathy for.
Then I remember Walker's fate: His lake and wealth was dried up, he was married to woman with no love for him, and he spent his final years digging for a treasure he couldn't find. A man who seeks wealth, and spends his life getting nothing is the ultimate curse.
Yelnats himself achieved wealth, only to lose it at the hands of Kissing Kate, and later his sanity by wandering around in the desert. His descendants were also cursed with rotten luck. So maybe Kate realized this while holding Yelnats at gunpoint, and decided this man's fate. So maybe after punishing Yelnats that way, she realized that it would be a great way to punish the man who ruined her.
Nathan Seper She unwittingly set off the events that would reunite the Yelnats family with the Zeroni family, fulfill the deal they made in the past, and thus end their cycle of misfortune.
A domino effect
well it's weird how Linda didn't deny she married Walker for his money. also it disappeared and she still stayed w/ him. theyre both set on finding the fortune.
What a cursed fate…
on the laughing part near the end she is NOT insane she is exited to see SAM again. that is what i firmly believe
Probably also excited she didn't have to kill (and kiss) Trout and was leaving on her own terms, cealing the curse that they wouldn't find the loot when she killed herself with the lizard. Definitely powerful - id go out laughing too!
That's Future oscar winner Patricia Arquette playin Kate!
She deserved one for this movie tbh
Notice how she didn’t even flinch when trout walker shot his shot gun right next to her to kill the lizard goes to show that she really didn’t care how she died as long as she was dead
She was totally numb to the pain trout caused her.
@@SethKolbePrefect she didn’t deserve what happened to her
@@VRALLSTARS17 Sam and Kate were careless. They knew they’re in the south… they could’ve went in the woods or moved up north. Such a shame
@@VRALLSTARS17 really sad
@@SethKolbePrefectActually Kate was careful up until the moment where she and Sam kissed.
She never said her love openly, but she would keep asking him to fix something in the schoolhouse as an excuse to see him.
It was only when she ran out of assignments to give him that she couldn’t hide it anymore.
The cast really did justice to this great book
“It’s so hot Sam, but I feel so cold…”
I just now realized there is every possibility that Sam’s skeleton was buried under the boat and no one ever realized 🥺
I think the two things that really stand out to me, is swell of emotion in the musical score. And then how you can just feel her love for Sam when she says his name. It honestly was so perfect it almost felt like they were lovers off camera.
Also the voice acting in this scene is just fantastic. Kate's character was acted with so much finesse that she feels like a real person who lived and died on this earth.
Even though its sad, I love how she got back at Trout- she was able to screw him over by dying and keeping her loot's location a secret- She made sure that not he would suffer but his entire family!
Damn, she was angry
Trout deserved it. He killed Sam just because he was an African American who won Kate's heart. Sam's death destroyed Kate and caused her to become an outlaw for twenty years. So, in return, Kate got her revenge on Trout by hiding the Yelnats family treasure so that Trout and his family will suffer for all eternity.
@@leoroemer6085 I dislike the concept of generational curses. While it's likely that a douche like Trout raising a child will cause them to turn into a douche in turn, it's effectively punishing the blameless. Someone who had no relation to the initial wrong is punished despite not being at fault.
The warden was certainly a douche herself, but as we hear from her story it's because he made her spend every single day digging holes, even on holidays. It's basically all she knew, and all she could do was peg her hopes on one of the children finding the treasure so she could finally escape the hell she had lived in her whole life.
@@kyuubinaruto17the Warden was very evil but Trout made her that way
I been wishing I was dead for a long time. ❤️🔔❤️🔔
"I've been wishing I was dead for a long time...."
You can tell Linda didn't like to hear that.
I know your comment is old but what do you mean by that? That Linda remembers the kind schoolteacher Kate used to be, or that she knows Kate would have no problem dying without telling them where the treasure was and thus rendering their threats meaningless?
@@terminallumbago6465 What I mean is, look at her facial reaction after Kate says it. I think Linda still remembers how Kate was, and hasn't disregarded her as such.
@@Sharkie626 I never really thought about that, but now that I see it, I agree with you. After all, she did warn Kate that Trout was a desperate man and she'd better tell him what he wanted to know; maybe she wasn't threatening Kate at all but trying to spare her whatever Trout had in mind if she didn't cooperate. I believe the book didn't actually do this, which makes the movie that much better.
This movie scene just gives me such nostalgia for their past, even though it's not one I was a part of, or even a real one. I have no idea how that even works, but it sure speaks for a good movie.
I love this movie
"Start diggin' Trout"
This scene always gets to me...
Sam has always been her guardian angel, poor Kate/Kathy
That was a nice middle finger to trout
lol
Yes and no, the actual lizard is a bearded dragon and it's spots are painted on the director said so! And no the bearded dragons are harmless
Kate: It's so hot Sam, but I feel so cold.
(Sam's ghost appears)
Kate: Sam.
Sam: I can fix that.
Trout: You got 5 seconds to tell me where you buried the loot.
Ruined the moment
“I’ve been wishing I was dead for a long time.” Same😔😔💔😢🥺
poor kate...she really just died of a broken heart...
Trout's actor, Scott Plank, died in an accident not long after filming was finished, and the film was subsequently dedicated to him.
Just in case anyone is wondering, the song used here is called, "fate turns" by Joel mcneely. There's a full holes soundtrack on RUclips
In the book, Kate wasn't armed when Trout found her. They probably added the "I ain't gonna kill you" to explain why she never went out of her way in the first place to kill him. To fill in that hole, she spares him for the same reason she did with Stanley Yelnats I: she lets them live with curses.
Such a sad story. "I've been wishing I was dead for a long time." :(
The bearded dragon started basking after it ''killed" her lol
JackInTheWild how much worse would itve been if Kate let the 🦎 bite her throat right on the Adams apple? Would her skin turn purple and she start bleeding out her eyes before succumbing to the sweet sweet release of death?
@@Quinna5537 your evil 💀
At least she and Sam are together and they can both RIP. The Warden's family deserved to be punished for what her grandfather did to Sam and creating Kissing Kate Barlow.
Amazing scene. I wish they made an entire movie out of the flashbacks. ❤
When she says i been wishing i was dead for along time. I feel that . Ill meet u again one day dad
That Lizard scared the shit emoji out of me when I was young 💩
In rl the lizard is harmless
@@angeluvlyy6091 wait how
I find that really sad.
Jacob Sandford it is
Same here.
Some of the best acting ever in a Disney movie. Hell of a scene
Kate pretty much put a curse on the Warden's family.
Just not the way Madam Zeroni did to the Yelnats
This movie did the book a lot of justice. So good!
What's the name of the music in the background. Beautiful piece ❤️
The song is called "Fate Turns" and it's off the score for the movie written by Joel McNeely. The score can be somewhat difficult to find for purchase, but if you look it up on youtube there is a full album streaming option. :)
Btw did anyone read the book Holes?
Also that silly weirdo yellow spotted lizard doesn't know what to do T_T
I did in school ^_^
me! ^-^
Me!
I'm in the middle of it
Do You Think Sam Will Ever Love Katherine After What She Did To Those Innocent Lives?
0:38 I can fix that. I wish he can fix this World
Poor Kate. While yes she did become an outlaw and kill many people, when you really get down to it she was a victim as well.
One question I have, wouldn't have Trout and Linda have gotten the reward money for turning in Kate's body? Remember on the wanted posers: DEAD OR ALIVE!
If they did turn in the body, that might've explained the car Trout owned when he was an old man (it's in the background at the end of the movie where the Warden is a child and she's digging with him). Obviously, cars of that model weren't around during the 1920s when Kate died, but maybe he saved the reward money and spent it later on down the line.
Is it just me or does that rock at 0:06 look like a human head?
i see it too
Looks more like a trilobite
I love sam's face
@windchimex In the book version my class is reading, she kisssed all her victims. I'm not sure if she killed anyone innocent but she went crazy after Sam died.
At least they are together again in heaven
In the end, she had the last laugh and she made sure of it.
My favorite parts in this movie were scenes that involve the bearded dragons walking or sitting on the cast members. From what I’ve heard, they were very welled behaved and never bit anyone, which doesn’t surprise me, because bearded dragons are generally sweet lizards. I know they can bite, but as long as they’re in good hands, they’re great animals.
Idk why I jus can with the MIsS KAtHErInE😂😂
i feel bad for kate i would have done the same thing : (
"hasn't rained here since the day they killed sam." ;o; OoO ....... THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:
is so sad 😢😢😢
The lizard just sat there saying "did i win"?
