This should be required viewing in schools. Maybe it would get kids interested in classic literature. The lesson plan could include watching "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and then reading the Odyssey. Kids could look for similarities, departures, etc.
Not everyone will love this film, but that's not the film's fault. It's just different than 99 percent of what shows up in theaters. To me, the best part of this film is the music (2001 Grammy for Album of the Year). In fact, I'd be happy to simply listen to the soundtrack every day. I can tolerate Clooney's character even though it's over the top; this is a folk story after all. Too bad he was the only one who didn't (couldn't?) sing.
This film screams out for a multi-voice commentary. This was the first and so far only DVD release. Perhaps they are waiting for a 10th Anniversary Edition next year?
3.5 stars, rounded down until they come out with a more full-featured DVD. |

| I was looking for the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and found it on Amazon at an incredibly low price. Delivery was quick, also. No complaints about the product or service. Actually, I haven't had any complaints about any of my purchases from Amazon. I may have just jinxed myself, but I'll take my chances by ordering again. |

| This movie is very very funny. It is amazing how they use Ulysses as a story base, without making it predictable. |

Cable TV classic. Often brings my channel surfing to a halt. Thumbs up to the performers and to those amazing filmmakers, the Coen Brothers. In particular George Clonney. He needs his Dapper Dan promade and when he says, "We're in a real tight spot" I care. John Turturro can't suc. Blake Nelson looks and sounds just right for the part. And John Goodman is terrific _as always_. The much ballyhooed about soundtrack is pretty good, but I agree that the 1927 Harry McClintock version of "Big Rock Candy Mountain" *by far* is the definite highlight. I felt vindicated when I read influential music/culture critic Greil Marcus say the same. LOVE that song! Marcus says "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Harry should have been on the landmark "Anthology of American Folk Music". Btw, since I mention Marcus he hits the nail on the head here as regards the soundtrack: "it's no surprise the album reached so many people so strongly--if you don't know this music, it's like doors in a mountain opening, and you can't help but want to go inside. It's an old-timey version of The Harder They Come soundtrack, and there's as much to discover in a more-where-this-came-from sense as there was there". Right.
So yeah, as you may notice, it ain't "Fargo". But then what is? Well I was just thinking about this movie. I was not that impressed by it when I first saw it. But you know, I can't put my finger on **why**. And that is bothersome. Too high expectations? No. I didn't have many expectations one way or the other. Was it the, to my mind anyhow, - excessive buzz around it. Hmmm. That may have played a part. You just hear too much about somethan and it somehow takes away form the impact. You, without realizing it, end up a little turned off. It's like, "that's it?". That's what all the fuss is about?
But now I love "O Brother Where Art Thou?". The Coen Brothers make me proud to be an American.
