The two most romantic lines in cinema history are "As you wish" from the Princess Bride and "I can fix that" from Holes.

i just realized something about Holes the book and also Holes the movie

It always felt a little inconsistent to me—why do so many characters treat Zero so differently from the way they treat the other boys? The adults at camp don’t have a lot of respect for any of the boys but with Zero they don’t even try to hide it. Mr. Pendanski—the “touchy feely” counselor—says the cruelest, most insulting shit to Zero right in front of everyone, and doesn’t seem to care who hears it.

Pendanski is at least pretending to be a child psychologist. Even though he’s defrauding the state, you get the sense he likes to think of himself as a half-decent therapist. So why doesn’t he make “showing Hector Zeroni a semblance of basic human respect” part of his good-social-worker act?

it’s because Zero’s mentally disabled. That’s why Pendanski doesn’t bother—even the respectable doctors won’t expect Pendanski to acknowledge Hector’s agency. It’s why none of the adults seem surprised that Zero can’t read, and why they assume he could never learn. It’s why everyone treats him with equal parts pity, contempt, and neglect. It wasn’t inconsistent characterization it was ableism the whole time

In the 2003 Movie, Holes, (its different in the book, sadly, but both book and adaptation i LOVE. also idk if this has already been pointed out but i gasped out loud when i noticed)

Sam the Onion Man dies out in the river, shot dead in his boat. I don’t think they’d bother to retrieve his body, bc unfortunately he’s a black man in the late 1890’s and the bigots who did kill him suck. 100 years later, we see his boat, the Mary Lou, dried up in the desert, when Zero hides in it. Sam’s body is probably still there.

Later, In a flashback, we see Kate Barlow (a.k.a Kissin’ Kate Barlow) die laughing laying against Sam’s boat. She’s hid her loot in the desert, and Linda and Trout Walker and all of their children will never ever find it.

But the important thing is that even if Sam and Kate Barlow died years apart, their bodies will now lie forever together, as lovers should.

Thinking about how the text of holes explicitly states that sometimes figures of authority are not to be trusted at all. Ie. The counselors, the Warden, and most if not all of the police. In a piece of children's media. Important for sure. Extremely interesting might need to write an in depth post about it.
