two hearts aligned

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.

The thing about Kate and Sam is that the love was there and it actually did change things. Maybe they couldn't get a happy ending, but their love saved two boys from certain death. The love was there and it changed everything and nothing.

Sam and Kate haunt the narrative of Holes in such an interesting way and I really wish people brought them up more as an example.

Our main character vaguely knows of one through legend, the other has been completely lost to history. Their love is the reason for the story's resolution, it lingers even after their deaths.

in the movie holes the poem kate and sam bond over is edgar allan poe's annabel lee which is about a person mourning their lover who died young and was "stolen away from them" and it ends with the lines "and so by night tide i sit by the side of my darling my darling, my life, and my bride, in her sepulcher by the sea, in her tomb by the sounding sea" and in the movie years after sam is killed and kate is at the end of her life she goes back to the lake (which is now completely dried up) and she finds sam's boat, the boat he died in, and lays down next to it drawing a perfect parallel the poem and making me want to yell everytime i think about it

the poetic cinema in the movie Holes when it shows Kate Barlow in the schoolhouse and drops of water are falling on the book she’s reading and you think the roof is leaking again even though Sam fixed it but then it shows that it’s actually because she’s crying and then Sam walks in and looks at her tear stained face with the softest expression and says, “i can fix that.”

The subplot of Holes was hands down the greatest love story of our generation

I just love this pair… -weeps forever-
