There are always those movies that just somehow hit home. They tug on the heartstrings because they seem so true. You watch them thinking about your own life. Thinking about the lives of the people around you. And you realize that movies really are just like real life. This is completely true for Shia LeBouf's amazing film, Holes. And heres why:
1. When you completely hate everyone and just decide to start robbing banks because there is nothing else that can be done.
2. You had a short stint in jail and you realize that young convicts are the salt of the earth.
3. Every time you have ever needed help, Dule Hill is right there ready to help you out.
4. The way that adults are always making fun of you for being illiterate is so harsh, but a daily occurrence. You just want to learn how to spell and read, but instead they just keep telling you that you are dumb. Cool guys.
5. That time an old lady put a spell on your family. The spell wasn't just some short thing either. This puppy has been going on for awhile now and sometimes you forget about it, and just go enjoy digging a hole or two.
6. That time you realized your best friend was a decedent of the lady who cursed you, and you just had to quickly carry him up a mountain, and everything would be cool again.
7. You are always jealous of your friends for their on point hair days.
8. Whenever you get out of bed at night or see any sort of animal, you also see an old crazy guy try shooting it, and you.
9. All of your families problems are based on a pig.
10. Oh and remember when your family got famous for making feet smell good? That happened in Holes too....small world.
11. No matter what you did, your parents and everyone else is always just forcing you to dig holes in sweltering heat. You literally don't even get to explain your side of the story, but after awhile you get pretty good at it ,and the digging doesn't really bother you much anymore.
12. You have that one friend that smells so bad, all the time.
13. The way that your name is the same forwards and backwards. Which is pretty cool and a complete coincidence. And hey Stanley Yelnats had the same thing going for him!
14. Anytime you had a fever and tried to explain it to someone nearby. You get the chills then you are sweating, and you just don't even know how to describe the sensation.
15. And of course, and most importantly, you always wear venomous nail polish just in case you need to slap someone in the face and really make an impression.
So thank you Shia. For making a movie we can all relate to. It taught me that I am not alone in this hole digging world, and one day I will find a treasure chest with my name on it surrounded by poisonous lizards. But it'll totally be okay because I probably ate onions earlier.
