Review of O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) by Sarah G — 18 Aug 2010
Absolute Picture Perfect...!!!!
I'm a big fan of the Coens and this movie for me was a thirst quencher.Coens steal the show again! O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a story of how three men discover what the fate has in store for them as they embark on the journey which will take them from nowhere to everywhere. Beautifully written, with some performances of a lifetime by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson, O Brother is a movie which will go long in the memories of people. Added to this is the Color Correction which enhanced the tone of the movie. The photography by Roger Deakins is an added feature to this lovely movie.
The trio as the Soggy Bottom Boys were awesome. I am a Man of Constant Sorrow, Down the Mountain(played while opening credits were flashed) are some songs worth listening repeatedly. The Story which is loosely based on the Odyssey by Homer, is an example of perfect inspiration. The characters in the movie have been symbolically represented to the main characters of Odyssey.
The escape, the journey of a lifetime for the trio, the Soggy Bottom Boys, the wit and the wry comedy are just some elements which garnish the wonderfully written story. Kudos to the Coens, George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. Highly Recommended.
