Subject: Oh Brother, where art thou?
From: Rev
Date: 20-Jan-01 - 11:26 PMI haven't noticed any threads related to the new Coen Brothers movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Has anyone seen it? Opinions? Personally I thought it was great. The entire movie, plot and action is driven by a variety of wonderful Old Timey music. I especially liked the use of old Alan Lomax field recordings that were spliced into the action, bringing those old songs to life. It's also got more contemporary performances by Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, T-Bone Burnett, and many others. Besides the excellent music it's just a very wacky film in the tradition of other Coen brother's movies like "Raising Arizona." The plot is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, but has lots of other references to classic literature. Just my opinion, but it was the most fun I've had at the movies in a long time. So what did other folks think? And BTW please excuse me if I'mm duplicating an already existing thread, but I just got back from this movie and was really excited by it. Rev

I saw it 2 weeks ago, and loved it, just like you. There were 2 previous threads, with 95% of the people saying it was well worth while. I dont know how to bring up an old thread, perhaps another muddy person can show us.
