Holes is a 2003 adventure comedy-drama film based on the novel of the same title by Louis Sachar (who also wrote the screenplay) with Shia LaBeouf as the lead role of Stanley Yelnats and also starring Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Tim Blake Nelson, Eartha Kitt, Patricia Arquette, Dulé Hill, Rick Fox, and Henry Winkler as Stanley Yelnats III.
The film was produced by Walden Media and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
Stanley Yelnats IV is a kind-hearted teenager born to an unfortunate family that has been cursed for centuries. The luckiest of the Yelnats ancestors, Stanley Yelnats I, lost his fortune when the outlaw Katherine "Kissin' Kate" Barlow stole his chest. The Yelnats blame their ancestor, Elya Yelnats, from Latvia, who was cursed after breaking a promise to Madame Zeroni to carry her up a mountain to a fortifying river in exchange for marrying Myra Menke.
I wish your soft brown fur would keep
The cold off of my bones
Your soul tied to my wrist
would keep me from
Keep me from being alone
I wish your teeth would hurt my skin
The yellow of your eyes
It would replace the yellow sun
The holes up in the sky
Did I make you a better person
Did you make me a better guy
Maybe I just got what I wanted
& you told me a better lie
I wish your tongue would feel like pain
& cut my tongue in two
I would not have to speak no more
I'd leave it up to you
& I'd be still like I was born
A cold & bloodless stone
You'd be cold & bloodless too
