"I can fix it." Sam was so smooth, he exudes charisma. I've always loved Dule Hill, and it broke my heart when Sam and Mary Lou were lynched. They'd likely never depict such a mature topic in a modern Disney kids' film.
Omg the shot of a dead Mary Lou was so DARK, I was surprised they included that in the movie
@@SophiaPhannnyou’re my best friend I really like you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@SophiaPhannnyou’re very pretty
As Sophia put it, the racism in the movie is so subtle, because it respects the audience's intelligence to just KNOW. If they did it nowadays, it would be ridiculously in your face.
"18 months for stealing a pair of shoes is INSANE." It is on planet Earth, but unfortunately this movie is set in Texas.
🫢🫢🫢
Texas is the first state to revoke rod v wade causing a sewer of problems for couples.
Yeah the American justice system can be pretty f***ed up sometimes hell in some case murderers, r**ists, and home invaders have been and still are given punishments that aren't as harsh as they should be but then say someone commits a smaller crime like jay walking or littering for example then that person would be given the biggest fine ever and given a life sentence without the chance of parole or bail
This is the truest thing I've seen on the web 😅
In some fairness, the shoes were donated and supposed to go on auction for the money to be used for charity. So it wasn't just a case of stealing, but stealing from something meant to be used for helping the disadvantaged.
A common criticism of the movie is that Stanley was overweight in the book and lost the weight by the end of the story. Shia LaBeouf wanted to put on the extra weight, but Louis Sachar (the author of Holes) and the director told LaBeouf to focus on Stanley's personality instead of his appearance.
It's nice to know that at least a few people were looking out for child actors back then 😊
yes!!
I mean they also mentioned because of the way they had to shot the movie out of order, there would be no way for there to be continuity with his weight, so I'm sure that was a factor as well
Kissin' Kate Barlow could easily have a spinoff prequel all to herself, she's so iconic. Also, author Louis Sachar cameos as a man to whom Sam sells his onion hair tonic. He has the sole line of "My head?"
It would be nice although the ONLY book spinoff we got was centered on Armpit.
The real brilliance of this is that Kate's treasure was in the Stanley name.
They lost it before they ever dug the first hole.
Did they ever explain why it was in his name? I've always felt dumb for not getting that part 😅
@@Zapporah85 Stanley the first was a stockbroker and banker. Made a nice fortune. Hence why he got robbed.
@@Zapporah85 She robbed the first Stanley and kept all her treasure in the chest that had his name on it lol
i remember reading holes as a kid and omg the way everything clicked together used to be mindblowing to me
The writing of this book is so perfect and the adaptation is literally the most respectful I've ever seen. It's an actual masterpiece of American literature and film. 100/10
Louis Sachar absolutely killed it with his writing, & I’m pretty sure he wrote the screenplay too!! No wonder it’s so good. Profilic children’s and YA author. Better than Twilight 😂
Sam and Kate's love story literally broke my freakin heart, i was OBSESSED with this movie
There's actually only one significant difference between the book and movie:
In the book, Stanley was overweight, and being sent to the camp made him lose all of it to where he was super skinny.
They chose not to do this because forcing Shia LaBeouf to lose all that weight on the quick schedule they were on would've caused significant damage to his adolescent body.
Louis Sachar, who wrote the book, also wrote the screenplay. This ended up being one of the most faithful YA book adaptations ever and it turned out to be such an iconic movie for 2000s kids.
This is where the “I’m tired of this, grandpa” audio is from?!
I'm surprised how many people don't know that. Makes me feel so old realizing how old the film is. X'D
Sophia (10yo): But I don't want to watch Holes again.
Disney Channel: WELL THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD!!!
Sometimes i still whisper to myself “if only, if only the woodpecker sighs/The bark of the trees was as soft as the skies/“
You know I think the luckiest thing was having Hector and Stanley meet even though how they met was awful.
Their bond helped break the curse and now they can be brothers and a family. And it weren’t for stanley’s social worker, Hector wouldn’t have gotten out of the camp. And this helped save everyone too once she discovered every adult’s illegal activities there.
Not only that, if hector and stanley weren’t there, they wouldn’t find the treasure and Stanley carrying Hector up the mountain provided the good luck to find the treasure which allowed Hector to hire investigators to find his mom.
None of this would have happened if the events didn’t occur.
The lizards that portray the Yellow Spotted Lizard in the movie were actually Bearded Dragons which are non-venomous and all of these lizards wore a non-toxic yellow paint on their backs to give the appearance of these venomous lizards from the book.
Although the Yellow Spotted lizards are fictional, their are some venomous lizards living today, but the only venomous lizards consist of the Monitor and Komodo Dragons and especially the Beaded Lizards which live in the southwestern United States and Mexico, those species consist of the well-known Gila Monster and the Mexican Bearded Lizard.🦎🦎
Holes was made during the Golden Era of Disney live action movies, it’s pretty timeless imo.
Also the soundtrack is awesome, If Only by Fiction Plane gets stuck in my head all the time
Stanley's mom was the bus driver on Forest Gump
i quote her “i don’t smell annnyyythaaanggg” all the time 😂
and Fred's mom from the Fred movies
Also Edgar's wife in Men in Black!
I am not afraid to say this, I truly had the biggest crush on Sigourney Weaver in this movie. 🤭
No because she was so domineering in this movie, it was attractive af 🥵
Gurl it was 110° with 87% humidity today. Trust me I know it's hot 😂 😭
My dad doesn’t let us turn on the AC from 4-9pm, so I’m literally musty crusty dusty everyday!!
Little known fact, Louis Sachar wrote a sequel to Holes called "Small Steps". It follows the story of Armpit after he gets out of Camp Green Lake. Pretty solid story as well.
I’m pretty sure I read that book too 😂 I read the synopsis and it sounded familiar
I fully believe this movie is why _Small Steps_ focused on Armpit
I watched that movie and read the whole book at my book club class at school. Stanley and Hector had a good bond with each other.
My friend said 2 years ago that this was the american lord of the rings and I haven't stopped pondering it
I had a teacher who had a crush on Shia
The curse on Stanley’s family broke. I interpreted the rain finally coming to camp to mean Sam’s spirit was finally at rest because there was finally comeuppance for the Walker family.
I think one could argue Lou Walker is actually sympathetic. She was forced to dig by her grandfather, as a child, even on Christmas, and she clearly didn’t care enough about the treasure to want to keep going. I bet she kept up the effort after Trout died just so her childhood wasn’t crappy with no payoff, figuratively and literally.
•But then she utilized child labor herself! For a while! With poor conditions, while hoarding better ones for herself. And she quite likely contemplated child murder. And she may have inherited some Walker racism, with saying Stanley couldn’t teach Hector to read anymore. Who knows what other sketchy stuff was going on? So she can rot in jail 😂
There were three curses that all broke within a day!
1. The Yelnats family, cursed by Madame Zeroni, broken by Stanley carrying Hector up the mountain.
2. Kate's treasure and the Walker family, cursed to dig for a hundred years and never find it. Broken when the treasure is found in a way that the Walker family can't touch it.
3. Green Lake and surroundings, cursed by the murder of Sam, broken when the Walker family finally loses control of the land. As soon as the man says the camp will be taken away, it starts to rain.
i think the reason it was always the same group of boys is because, like an actual camp, they were split up into different groups: "mom" was their leader, with the group having stanley, zero, armpit, etc. the other boys sleep in the same "tent" they are just in different sections, with their leaders not getting much if any screen time
if i remember correctly they touch more on that properly in the book than they do the movie.
17:50 "oh youre tryna bag on me huh-" "yeah im tryna bag on you" is so funny to me, bc i watched the D-Tent DVD commentary (countless times tbh) and Khleo said "notice i just repeated that line back to you- its cause i didnt know what 'bag on" meant"
Omg I just thought that was scripted 😂
@@SophiaPhannn a few of the lines were a bit improved with them, the directors (I did watch that commentary as well) were all impressed with Shia’s natural chemistry and energy, they even called him “a young Tom hanks”- but we all know how his real life ended up 🫣🫢
“It’s so hot, Sam…”
“…but I feel so cold…”
I read Holes for class as it was on a program that if you read the book and take a Quiz on the book you get points added to a sum that determined "The Best Readers" in the school that year. That program was responsible for also getting me to read all of the harry potter books as they had the most points available on the program. My teacher even brought me her own copy of Goblet of Fire from home with a custom box for her husband made for her collection, still my favorite book to this day.
Holes was definitely a classic growing up. I actually read the book after seeing the movie a few years after. I sometimes find myself going to listen to the song “Dig It” performed by the cast and it is still a banger all these years later.
Great stuff Sophia! Cheers from a old high school classmate!
Us reading about the prison industrial complex/school to prison pipeline in 3rd/4th grade.
I didn’t watch the movie but I remember the cast members music video “Dig It” being played over and over on Disney Channel
Weaver painting her nails getting ready to claw at Me Sir’s cheek awoke something in a lot of us
I LOVED this movie as a kid. I remember reading the book in 6th grade and then watching the movie. Currently watched it again with my boyfriend. It didn’t disappoint!!! It actually followed the book very closely. I remember the one thing they didn’t add was that Stanley was overweight at the beginning of the book. And at the end, he lost a lot of weight because of all the holes he dug
Holes is easily the most quotable Disney movie of all time and anyone who disagrees can just simply argue with the wall
Barfbag would later go on to star in the TV adaptation of From Dusk Til Dawn as Richie.
She has rattlesnake venom as her secret ingredient for her nail polish 17:09
I and many other people where “forced” to watch this movie in class at some point in our school lives.
I prefer this movie than Seven. In saw it in Religious class when i was 12. The teacher seriously puts a horror movie, traumatized the entire class AND made kids cry. She had the guts to ask us a homework on it. Impossible! I was too scared plus wanted to puke; it was awful 😥
A little more casting trivia:
Igor (the guy Ilya Yelnats loses Myra to) is played by Borat’s sidekick, Azamat. And the bald guy Sam talks to is Louis Sachar, the author of the book.
There’s also one really awful piece of casting trivia that you very fortunately edited out. You know the adult who reads the chalkboard in Kate’s classroom during that night session? That’s notorious pedophile Brian Peck, who they casted in the film AFTER he served time in prison for sexually abusing Drake Bell while working at Nickelodeon.
THAT WAS HIM??? 🤢 awful awful work to be casting him in a children’s movie
@@SophiaPhannn I forgot one more: Sweetfeet is played by former NBA great, Rick Fox!
This movie is sooooo nostalgic! My sisters and I watched it whenever it was on TV. I watched it not too long ago with my partner and, boy, this movie was a lot weirder and kind of cheesier than I remember. I still enjoy the darker aspects and the mystery of it, but you’re right, some of those shots are something else.
I highly recommend the book that the movie is based on. The story points are basically the same but they removed the whole subplot of Stanley’s body image and the camp actually getting him in decent shape (which he kept after leaving the camp)
I love this theme of older movies with friendships as the main theme
It’s so surreal this was literally a Disney movie cause when I saw the commercials and the advertisements for this movie 21 years ago they didn’t include nor mention it was from Disney. Of course the trailer/promo VO guy has done a lot of trailer narrations for Disney in the early-mid 2000’s so that was a clear takeaway.
Anyways it’s interesting that it’s been 20 years since the movie came out and it’s easily not only the most underrated Disney film but also one of the best book film adaptations during the 2000’s and love the incredible cast consisting of Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Henry Winkler, Eartha Kitt and Patricia Arquette.
However one thing that kind of bothers me especially from reading the book and watching is why does the Warden including her father and/or grandfather want the treasure thinking it’s "Their Treasure" when literally the chest and treasure belong to Stanley Yelnats IV along with several other people Kissin Kate Barlow stole?!?
They were just bitter and greedy 😂
I looooove this movie, there’s so many plots, twists, a little magic and fun characters. You can just tell it was a book because of how well the story was put together.
I remember being a teen and showing this to my little cousin and after seeing this movie eighty times, I finally understood how they broke the curse when my little cousin mentioned it. I felt soooo dumb 😂😂😂😂
Also this movie always made me want to eat raw onions and old peaches 😂😂😂😂
They made those raw onions look so good ngl 😂
Kind of funny story, I had to read the book for school. Apparently I was the only one in my class who didn't just watch the movie. I can't remember the details but there was some small part that was only in the book that I put in my report. my teacher straight up called me out in front of the class like why didn't anyone else mention it. I was so mad like 😮 "clearly you didn't read it either don't put me on the spot"
Omg that would make me mad too 😭
15:00 She said herself, 'we're all equal under the eyes of god.' If Sam had to die for a kiss, then everyone else who wants to kiss her has to die.
Kate was based
Fun fact: the old man who buys the tonic off Sam is actually Louis Sachar, the author of the original book and the one who wrote the screenplay as well. It was also one of the only times in my recent memory that the author also got to pen the screenplay and it was perfectly adapted.
I LOVED this movie growing up I first watched it in Grade 6 after reading the book for class
The way Shia is such a good actor....I didn't even have any moment of 'damn that was wack acting' it was just like yeah this is good
So I love Psych (TV show, I think it's on netflix now), and it took me, literally 5 years to realize one of the leads is SAM. I was like why is your face so damn familiar...Can confirm he still smooth
I read this book in Grade 4 and loved it! The movie is iconic but I didn't watch it until after I had read the book and grew up
...Trust me, You weren't the only one who had a crush on Shia....It was normal because of transformers and the movies he did when he was younger, like he was just a great actor. Until he became what he is. Also the "JUST DO IT" memes. Don't let your dreams be dreams!
Omg I totally forgot about the “JUST DO IT” meme 😂
There were three curses that all broke within a day!
1. The Yelnats family, cursed by Madame Zeroni, broken by Stanley carrying Hector up the mountain.
2. Kate's treasure being found after a hundred years and not by the Walker family.
3. Green Lake and surroundings, cursed by the murder of Sam, broken when the Walker family finally loses control of the land. As soon as the man says the camp will be taken away, it starts to rain.
I forgot about the Sploosh 😩🤦🏾♀️
If you want another movie to watch with Sigourney Weaver, I highly recommend Heartbreakers. 😘👌
21:59 - I love how this gives some context to an earlier scene where he told Stanley how his parents were glad to be rid of him. He's upset about his family life and takes his pain out on someone who has a loving family. It's a small thing, but effective at getting you to sympathize with Squid
I love the movie Holes, and one of my friends said I looked like Hector, I take as an insult and a compliment because of my hair, and im pretty sure hes the only black kid in the movie or something 💀
He’s definitely not the only black kid in the movie 😂
from then on i’ve loved lilac nail polish
We watched Holes in school, then we read the book.
I cant remember if I ever watched the movie, but I read the book for our english class in like grade 5, and this shit is dark for a book to read at that age man....
It covered a lot of different themes, but I always remembered it doing it really well-even for a children’s book!
@SophiaPhannn Oh totally agreed, its still a fantastic book, just remember being so shocked as a kid when I read it.
i loved this movie growing up! Love your hair cut btw💖
Thank you!! 🫶🏼
Stanley Yelnats is a palindrome. Probably why the family keeps it
Y’all, find yourself a man who treats you the way Sam treats Kate. Their storyline was always my favorite part of this movie when I was younger, but it also made me sad how it ended for them 😢 But good on Kate for how she went out. As usual, another fun video 💕
Me and my siblings used to quote “I ain’t on stupid pills” at each other all the time lol.
I also recently rewatched Anaconda! 😂 first saw this movie in Junior High English class, we also had to read the book (which I didn't do lol). This movie truly was always on on the Disney channel lol and I get the crush thing, I also had a crush on him when I was younger when I used to watch Evens Stevens. Him and Derek from Life With Derek, omg. Now I think about them and I'm like, "ew what was wrong with me?" 🤣 My type is not even close to the same.
omg Life With Derek, what a throwback 😂 my type is definitely so different nowadays, it’s weird to think back on how much I liked Shia 😂
I met the actor that played Zero at Disneyland. He is a super nice person and super cool to talk to. I was honored to have met him.
I love that Zero's full name is ZEROni so Stanley carrying him up the mountain fulfills the pact between Madame Zeroni & Yelnats
Omg I read this in school and haven't thought about it in like 20 years! I didn't even know there was a movie 😭 this was so fun
Omg you didn’t know there was a movie???
@@SophiaPhannn 🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀😅😅😅
I remember reading the book in fourth grade, then going on a school field trip to see the movie. It was a good day. Also, the song "Dig It" is such a bop.
The smoothest line: "I can fix that!" 😍😆🤤💕💕
Are you familiar with any of the old Disney Channel movies? (Zenon, Luck of the Irish, Motocrossed etc.) Would love for you to do a commentary on one of those.
YES I’ve watched many of them, but it’s been a very long time. I have been thinking about watching those older DCOMs one of these days 😁
MOTOCROSSED YES OMG
okay so like motocrossed is one of my favorite movies ever
the main character has my first AND middle names, and uses the same nickname i use, and cuts her hair and dresses up as her brother
as an afab nonbinary person this movie was my mulan (for a lot of trans men, mulan does something - for me it was motocrossed)
pretty much nobody i talk to has ever heard of motocrossed and it's sad
i think she's the man overshadows it because they're both based on 12th night and that one is more applicable to a lot of girls (yeah they're both sports, and girls can and are interested in any and all sports, but soccer is much more popular than motocross AND it has the fun girl drama that motocrossed doesn't really have much of) and has more famous people in it :/
i love she's the man too though, but it doesn't quite have the same connection as the character having the same name as me lol
I hope the heat doesn't melt your beautiful jewelry
The joke you made in the title ❤😂 even the ones through the vid 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I think the reason they keep cutting back to the rock head is so we, the audience, and also Stanley remember where he found Kate's lipstick and therefore where the treasure is.
My little sister and uncle (he's younger than me, older than her- just sharing this context because they were close in age) used to be OBSESSED with this movie- I've always been neutral on it. I'll sit and watch the movie- but I'll probably go on my phone once in awhile
Anyone else miss the Holes song Digging up up holes dig it
Can confirm that this was released in theaters! I remember seeing it when I was 8 or 9 and being obsessed. The introduction to the warden used to gagggg me😂💅🏼
I remember watching this movie so much as a kid that I memorized the audio commentary lmaooo. I recommend it if you can get your hands on it, it’s just the kid actors goofing around the whole time
I’m still shocked Mia Goth and him are married 😅
With a kid too 😢
You should watch the Real Ones episode with shia. It clears up a lot of questions.
i love this movie but small steps (the audiobook, it's about armpit and xray after this) is my favorite
12:23 OHHHH that joke flew way over my head as a kid. I always thought he was incorrectly correcting what Zigzag said about microphones and cameras. I feel so dumb XD
Im pretty sure, we see other adults in the background when they are at the camp, but the main 3 adults are the ones Stanley mainly interacts with
Wait really, I guess I didn’t pay close enough attention 😅
@SophiaPhannn im sorta sure, cuz I had the same question, until I saw other adults on my rematch the other month.
Sam's storyline is my Roman empire
The beautiful and charming Sophia returns!
The fact that Angelina Jollie came out of John voight is impressive
Right after Stanley carried Hector up the mountain and sang the song the curse broke and the dad was able to find luck in his shoe invention it seems
As a kid, this movie was the first time I'd really seen violent racism portrayed in something. I knew it existed as a concept but it was quite different seeing it in a movie like that.
I was also shook that they said damn in the movie, that was definitely the only time that word was allowed on Disney Channel lol
Tim Blake Nelson is just great in this movie, how all that fake charm just makes Pendanski even slimier than if he was as upfront about it as Mr. Sir. I think he might be one of my favorite underrated actors.
"John Voight has villain look and energy" yeah thats part of why his daughter doesnt talk to him 😅
Is it weird that I was more interested in the Kissin Kate Barlow storyline then the main storyline. Like I'd watch a movie about her.
My cousin owned this on vhs back in the day WE PLAYED THIS til the tape fell apart 😂
one time, my sister and i was watching disney channel and i guess it was Friday and once it was time to watch a DCOM, we were guessing which movie was coming on and she guessed it on the first try and we were so surprised and happy 😂 best moment ever. also same, i had a crush on Shia before (still love the movie Disturbia (2007) - same year as the first Transformers lmao).
Omg I LOVED Disturbia, I watched it purely for Shia and ended up really liking the movie 😂
@@SophiaPhannn i watched it recently (twice actually) and oh my god, it’s so 2007. if you know what i mean lol
The rewatchability of this (the movie and video) is peak
Edit:
Sophia: I won’t rewatch this a lot
O h
I watched this so many times as a kid as well, but not because it was on tv very often, because my brother was OBSESSED with it.
I envy your ability to wear glasses like that and pull them off beautifully. 😭
Unironically the greatest book to screen adaptation of all time
I remember watching this movie back when i was in school! :D
So many Yelnats boys were called Stanley because that made their name a palindrome.
The guy behind Donnie Darko almost directed this. He wanted the holes to be dug in a post-nuclear wasteland. I think we dodged a few bullets there.
The rattlesnake venom on her nails is what did that to Mr Sirs face. She says its highly toxic unless its dry. She also smacked the hell out of him 😂
if i remember right, each group of boys (who slept in the same tent or whatever) were the ones digging holes together
spread out
the adults went from one group to another to distribute food and water and watch them
that's why they got so much work done after they found the lipstick case and they were digging in the same place - all of the groups of boys were in the same place working rather than spread out
having them all together could be dangerous because they could be more likely to fight or try to hurt the adults, and it's harder to coordinate large efforts when split into small groups that are the same every day
yeah they could coordinate within the group, but the rest of the boys would have no clue what's going on
and because the adults are going between groups, it's less likely any will be unobserved - if there's 100 boys together, it's easy to lose track of a couple because there's still 98 boys there
if there's 10 boys, always the same boys in each group, it's easier to keep track and notice when someone's missing - if there's 10 boys, and 2 are gone, then 8 is much more noticable than 98
plus if they're always going around, they could pop up randomly and catch you, where if they're just standing watching over 100 boys, they might not be likely to notice one of them "slacking" or doing something he shouldn't be because there's so many to watch
i feel like there could have been other adults that we didn't see, the bus driver we saw, but were there any adults in the cafeteria? mom was in charge of the one tent but were their others for the other groups? i don't remember 😅 it's been a couple years
and that's just my understanding anyway, but i could be wrong
I was obsessed with this book and movie as a child 😂 also Gus from Psych!!
Holes was in theaters at the same time The Lizzie McGuire Movie came out in theaters in 2003.
