Keywords

💡Holes

Holes is a novel by Louis Sachar, which the video discusses in terms of its plot and themes. The book is about a young boy named Stanley Yelnats who is sent to a camp where he and other boys are required to dig holes in the dried-up lake bed. The story is a blend of adventure, historical fiction, and a coming-of-age tale that explores themes of friendship, perseverance, and the power of storytelling.

💡Camp Green Lake

Camp Green Lake is a juvenile detention center where the protagonist, Stanley, is sent. The camp is a significant setting in the video and serves as the backdrop for the story's main events. It is characterized by harsh conditions, a barren landscape, and a system of hierarchy among the inmates. The name 'Camp Green Lake' is ironic, as there is no lake, highlighting the theme of deception and the harsh realities the boys face.

💡Family Curse

The family curse is a recurring motif in the video and the novel 'Holes'. Stanley Yelnats believes that his family is cursed, leading to a series of unfortunate events. This belief is a coping mechanism for Stanley, providing an external reason for his misfortunes. The curse is also tied to the historical narrative of the Yelnats family and their connection to the outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow.

💡Character Building

The phrase 'character building' is used by the camp officials to justify the harsh treatment and forced labor of the boys at Camp Green Lake. It is a form of manipulation, as the boys are not truly being rehabilitated but are instead used for the warden's personal gain. The concept is central to the video's critique of the juvenile justice system and the exploitation of vulnerable youth.

💡Zero

Zero is a fellow inmate at Camp Green Lake and becomes a close friend of Stanley. His character represents resilience and the power of friendship. Zero's backstory, involving homelessness and a difficult upbringing, adds depth to the narrative and highlights the systemic issues faced by many children in similar situations. His development throughout the story is a testament to the impact of support and camaraderie in overcoming adversity.

💡Kissin' Kate Barlow

Kissin' Kate Barlow is a character from the historical narrative within the video and the novel 'Holes'. She is an outlaw with a tragic past, having lost her love, Sam, and being wronged by the Yelnats family. Her story is intertwined with Stanley's, and her actions have far-reaching consequences that affect the present-day events at Camp Green Lake. Kate's character adds a layer of complexity to the story, exploring themes of vengeance, loss, and the enduring impact of historical events.

💡Onion

The onion is a symbol in the video and the novel, representing both the town's past prosperity and the survival of the people in the face of adversity. Sam, the onion seller, is a character from the historical narrative who is loved by Kate. The onion also becomes a source of sustenance for Stanley and Zero in the desert, symbolizing hope and renewal in a desolate landscape.

💡Peaches

Peaches play a significant role in the video as a source of sustenance for Zero when he runs away. The peaches, preserved in an old boat and discovered by Stanley and Zero, are a lifeline in the desert. They also symbolize the unexpected gifts that can come from the most dire circumstances, offering a moment of respite and a chance for survival.

💡Treasure

The treasure, buried by Kissin' Kate Barlow, is a central plot element in the video and the novel 'Holes'. It drives the actions of the characters and is the ultimate goal of the digging at Camp Green Lake. The treasure represents the culmination of the historical narrative and the resolution of the Yelnats family curse. Its discovery is a turning point for Stanley and Zero, leading to their freedom and the lifting of the curse.

💡Redemption

Redemption is a key theme in the video, as seen through the transformation of the characters, particularly Stanley and Zero. Despite the harsh circumstances they face, both boys find a sense of purpose and friendship at Camp Green Lake. Their journey towards redemption is marked by personal growth, the overcoming of adversity, and the breaking of the family curse.

💡Mature Themes

The video discusses the presence of mature themes in what is ostensibly a children's movie. Topics such as injustice, loss, and the harsh realities of life are woven into the narrative, reflecting a faith in the audience's ability to process complex issues. This contrasts with the perception that contemporary children's media is often sanitized, suggesting a shift in the way mature themes are presented to younger audiences.

06:12

approval of the volter or whatever

06:14

06:16

ruminating on asparagus for two

06:38

Stanley like aggressively hugged this

06:40

guy just real good the other guys are

06:42

like w no one messes with the caveman

06:44

now caveman is Stanley's new nickname by

06:45

the way for some reason which to be fair

06:47

that's a lot better than whatever other

06:48

nickname they could have given to a tall

06:50

Jewish kid with a fro Nobody messes with

06:52

the caveman nobody did you see the

06:55

caveman back I mess with anybody hey you

06:58

coming caveman so throughout the movie

07:00

Stanley's digging holes and whatnot and

07:02

one day he finds this weird golden tube

07:04

thing with a carving on it now the rule

07:06

is while digging holes if you find

07:07

anything interesting like this then you

07:08

might get the day off however because of

07:10

like the senority pecking order or

07:12

whatever Stanley has to give it to this

07:13

guy x-ray but turns out this is like a

07:15

really big deal when the actual Camp

07:17

Warden herself shows

07:20

up right over there

07:33

you know quick aside here but soury

07:34

Weaver can get it at literally any point

07:37

in her life okay like pick any point in

07:39

the last 50 years I'm right there first

07:40

in line now because everyone thinks

07:42

x-ray found the whatever this is the

07:44

warden makes them all dig around

07:45

wherever he was digging but remember

07:47

Stanley was actually the one who found

07:48

it in his hole so after digging around

07:50

x-ray spot for several days they find a

07:52

whole lot of nothing list

07:54

enough after the behavior exhibited

07:57

these past several days

07:59

the warden and I have decided that your

08:02

character building be best served by

08:05

returning to the digging of individual

08:08

hoes now throughout all of this

08:10

Stanley's been slowly becoming friends

08:12

with that zero kid and he finds out that

08:13

before all this whole digging nonsense

08:15

zero was a homeless kid living on the

08:17

street and never even learned how to

08:19

read I I feel really awkward with you

08:22

reading over my shoulder like that

08:24

so I can't read

08:30

can you teach me and as they get closer

08:32

and talk about each other's tragic Back

08:33

09:08

09:13

now in exchange for teaching zero how to

09:15

09:32

here eat the

09:35

cookie and like somehow this all turns

09:37

into everyone just making fun of zero

09:39

and how he's some like dumb idiot who

09:40

can only dig holes now eventually zero

09:42

finally reaches this Breaking Point with

09:44

everyone treating him like trash for no

09:46

reason you might as well teach this

09:48

shovel to read it's all you'll ever be

09:50

good for b i g what's that

09:56

spell toy d

10:00

and so zero runs away into the desert

10:02

never to be seen again and the next day

10:03

Stanley also runs away from Camp to go

10:05

find zero in the Wasteland now after a

10:07

while Stanley does find zero under this

10:09

old boat thing where he's been drinking

10:11

like 100 something year old peach

10:15

juice

10:18

here what is this sploosh that's what I

10:22

call it drink it it's

10:26

good yeah I don't know my dude like I'm

10:28

pretty sure you take a couple sips of

10:30

that and you're going to start smelling

10:31

colors or something and they trekk their

10:33

way up this mountain that's a little

10:34

ways away because like of course they

10:35

can't go back to Camp right I mean if

10:36

they do they're good as dead anyway like

10:38

literally he was a ward of the state he

10:41

was living on the streets when he was

10:42

arrested is there some prissy casew

10:44

worker who might ask questions he had

10:46

nobody he was nobody no one cares about

10:51

Hector zerone I want you to destroy his

10:54

records he was never here but then

10:56

Stanley has to carry zero up the

10:58

mountain because he's said a few to many

10:59

peaches there you know what I'm saying

11:00

and just as they're about to crumble

11:01

into dust from lack of water they just

11:03

so happen to stumble onto a wet Marsh

11:05

place thing full of giant onions if you

11:07

can believe that what are you

11:11

[Applause]

11:14

doing you try this try

11:19

this what is it it's a hot F Sunday just

11:22

eat it wow look at that magic onion that

11:24

regrows after you bite into it

11:26

incredible so after just kind of hanging

11:27

out there for a while I guess eventually

11:30

they get to talking and Stanley gets the

11:31

idea that if the warden was so obsessed

11:33

with digging where she thought they

11:34

found that tube thing earlier in the

11:35

movie then like she must be looking for

11:37

something incredible right so they

11:38

decide to sneak down there and go dig

11:40

the hole where Stanley found it in the

11:41

first place and you'll never guess what

11:43

they

11:44

find we found

11:48

it is it I say what I say oh

11:54

man thank you boys you've been a big

11:57

help and so eventually Stanley and zero

12:00

get out of the hole with the chest thing

12:01

and the warden tries to take it away but

12:03

guess what it's Stanley what are you

12:05

doing let go red-handed I could send

12:07

Stanley right back to prison if I press

12:09

charges however in view of all the

12:11

circumstances I think I'll just take it

12:13

has his name on it what you see Stan Le

12:17

y

12:19

net okay so here's where the twist comes

12:21

in and like I said this absolutely

12:23

destroyed my 10-year-old mind my teacher

12:25

got to this part in the book and I was

12:27

like so throughout the movie while all

12:29

this has been going on the movie's been

12:30

cutting back and forth between the story

12:32

of Stanley the story of Stanley's family

12:34

and the history of the lake itself so

12:35

Stanley's like bajillion times

12:37

great-grandfather came over from lvia

12:39

and his son got robbed by kissing Kate

12:41

The Outlaw now kissing Kate wasn't

12:43

always like this she used to be a school

12:44

teacher way back in the 1800s in the

12:46

town that was by the lake that used to

12:48

be here but now it looks like this right

12:50

and Kate was in love with Sam the local

12:51

onion

12:52

seller get sweet

12:55

sweet get youres help punches hunting

12:58

tonics onions get your onions here folks

13:01

God's Own chosen vegetable Nature's

13:04

magic vegetables right here folks uh

13:06

he's one of those Tik Tock moms has your

13:08

child been possessed by the Eternal

13:09

darkness of Lord cthulu just put some

13:11

onions in their socks it'll cure them

13:12

right

13:13

up it's like when girls go to the doctor

13:15

for literally any reason and it's like

13:17

well doctor I broke my neck falling off

13:18

the roof uhhuh that's nice uh when was

13:20

your last period but anyway so of course

13:22

this being the 1800s people sure didn't

13:24

like Kate and Sam being all and so they

13:27

burn down the school and also execute

13:29

Sam just like right on the

13:38

[Music]

13:44

lake just want to remind you all that

13:46

this is a pg-rated kids movie and when

13:48

they did this for some mysterious reason

13:50

it never rained again thus the lake

13:52

dried up the town became abandoned and

13:54

the richest guy in town whose family

13:55

owned the lake now they have nothing so

13:57

after this Kate vows to Never Love A

13:59

again and she becomes an outlaw and she

14:00

Robs a bunch of Banks and a bunch of

14:02

rich people like Stanley yell Nets the

14:03

first for example and she buries her

14:05

treasure somewhere in this dried up Lake

14:06

and the former rich guy and his family

14:08

have been looking for it ever since

14:10

where's the loot you robbed every Bank

14:11

from hell to Houston Linda Miller is

14:13

that you I've been Linda Walker for the

14:15

last 13 years one a Linda you were such

14:18

a good student three go on kill me the

14:22

lake goes on for Miles I've been wishing

14:24

I was dead for a long time ah yes always

14:27

nice to meet a fellow Millennial and so

14:29

fast forward to the modern day when

14:30

Stanley and zero dig up this chest it

14:32

has Stanley's name on it and also in the

14:34

end we find out that zero is the one who

14:35

stole the shoes and threw them over the

14:37

bridge which hit Stanley in the head and

14:38

started this whole thing in the first

14:39

place so Stanley is let free Zero's

14:41

records were destroyed when he ran away

14:43

remember that so technically legally he

14:45

does not actually have to be there and

14:46

there's also this little thing about how

14:47

Stanley and Zero's families are also

14:49

intertwined because of this like old

14:50

Latvian curse this lady put on Stanley's

14:52

ancestor and turns out zero is the

14:54

longtime descendant of this lady and so

14:56

by Stanley and zero being friends and

14:58

helping each other out the the curse is

14:59

lifted and they never have any bad luck

15:01

again or something like that so they

15:02

both get to go home and turns out the

15:03

chest is full of gold and jewels and

15:05

stuff okay one more thing no matter what

15:07

is in this box mhm we are still family

15:10

we the come we know cross your fingers

15:13

cross your fingers two come on oh my God

15:17

honey you still got it you are so

15:19

strong oh goly G thanks honey and that's

15:22

pretty much where the movie ends man for

15:23

a kids movie like this is so like kind

15:26

of insane the kids being sent to a

15:28

torture Camp Zero's backstory the way

15:30

the adults talk to the kids the history

15:32

of the lake itself this was a pg-rated

15:34

kids movie adults used to have a lot

15:35

more faith in kids being able to handle

15:37

and process like mature themes you know

15:39

cuz I feel like kids stuff today is so

15:41

sanitized and inoffensive that it just

15:43

becomes like remember back a couple

15:45

years ago when everyone was obsessed

15:46

with bluee and they were all like it's

15:47

like a kid show but actually it's

15:49

surprisingly deep and mature but like a

15:51

lot of kid stuff used to kind of be like

15:53

that I don't know if things used to be

15:54

better or if it's actually better now or

15:55

whatever I have no idea but things

15:57

definitely used to be different

15:59
