O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Backlog Andy M.

A film 🎥 I have never seen. I will have to check it out!

Keith Brown

You must see the classic 1941 Preston Sturges movie "Sullivan's Travels" which is where the name of this movie comes from. The Coen Brothers are quoted many times that their film humor homage comes from writer/director Preston Sturges' movies.

Daniel John

Is it bad I actually own a Dapper Dan can? I mean I obviously wasn't going get a God damn Fop can.

Keith Brown

Please check out the films of Preston Sturges many of today's directors mention his movies as ones they constantly quote . They will gather friends and colleges to watch a Sturges film before they start working together on their movie to get in the right spirit.

Paul Cox

In my own estimation, this is one of the "bigger" (whatever that means) Coen Brothers titles, so I'm surprised it took so long to get to. However, I've learned along the way that this one's kind of divisive, and I never had any idea!!

I remember not liking this film when I first saw it. Maybe a rewatch after 10+ years will change my mind

Jen Barnes

I love this soundtrack.

Steve Mercier

I remember I saw this on this week's schedule...but I forgot...so, FUCK YES!

Jeffrey Miller

At the start of the reaction you guys forgot that you saw George Clooney in Burn After Reading by the Coen bros

Florian Meier

One of the few Coens i never Seen... Don't know why :) So also for me the First Time ;) Next Coen Should be "The Hudsucker Proxy" from 1994 with Paul Newman and "Barton Fink" from 1991 with John Turturro ... Both are Great ... Another Great John Turturro is "Quiz Show" from 1994

Tyler Foster

Every time you watch a Coen film or anything that connects to it, I hype up their underrated gem The Hudsucker Proxy (1994), which stars Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. A brilliant and frequently overlooked movie, and the one I most want to see you two react to. That said, I would not complain about any Coens. The main one that was hugely acclaimed and would probably objectively be most popular is Barton Fink (1991), and I would also say that in addition to Hudsucker, The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), A Serious Man (2009), and Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) are absolutely essential. Personally, I also really like Intolerable Cruelty (2003). Some of their newer work, like Hail, Caesar! (2016) and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018), I need to see them again to know what I feel about them. The one Coen movie it kills me that you guys have already seen is True Grit (2010). Maybe if you both feel you don't remember it you can do it as a Patreon exclusive sometime, because I honestly think it's one of their best films, not to mention a pitch-perfect adaptation of the book. Last but not least, there's a great 2009 remake of one of their movies. You watched their debut film Blood Simple (1984). Naturally, the remake by Zhang Yimou (Hero), titled A Woman, A Gun, and A Noodle Shop, transports the action to ancient China. Through the '90s, the Directors Guild of America was apparently somewhat reluctant to have two directors credited. I have no idea why. In a somewhat ironic twist of fate, the movie widely considered their worst film, The Ladykillers (2004), is the first movie where they are both credited, even though all of the previous films were co-directed by the both of them. (Their compromise up until that point was to have Ethan credited as sole producer, Joel as sole director, and both for the screenplay.) Before he moved onto writing and directing, Joel Coen worked with his buddy Sam Raimi on his first film, as assistant editor on The Evil Dead. The cabin that the trio head to at the end of the movie is designed to look like the cabin from The Evil Dead movies as a bit of a tribute. Raimi also co-wrote Hudsucker Proxy with the Coens, which as far as I know is the only time the Coens have shared screenwriting credit on one of their team-ups with someone else. Also, in classic Fargo "true story" tradition, the Coens later said they weren't sure if they had even read The Odyssey.

Cliff Adams

If you enjoy the music, there is a DVD of a concert in Nashville of many of the performers of the songs, called Down from the Mountain. Delightful live renditions of much of the soundtrack. Dan Tyminski sang Man of Constant Sorrow and Pat Enright did Pete's yodeling.

David Wilkins

Those three are all excellent, and must-see so far as I’m concerned. For whatever reasons, Hudsucker and Barton didn’t register as well with the broader public, but they are excellent in their own way. And Quiz Show gets into the great realm of Robert Redford as director.

Donna Castellano

Dan Tyminski provided the singing for "Man of Constant Sorrow". He was a member of Allison Krause's band at the time (who provided tracks as well). This music is more bluegrass/folk music, like most of the stuff on the soundtrack. I believe "Po' Lazarus" - the prisoner song at the beginning - was an actual recording of a chain gang in the 50s and they used it as the track. The two albums of music they released are flawless tho. It is kind of hard for me to hear The Stanley Brothers version of "Angel Band" (credits track) tho. We played it at my dad's wake in 2002, the anniversary of his passing was actually yesterday, the 14th, so it hit me harder than usual. As well as for my mom's wake last year, & that anniversary of her passing was the 7th of this month. Wow. So yeah, looking at it now, its no wonder hearing that hit me harder than usual today. Apologies for unloading all THAT trauma!. Either way, it's still a movie I enjoy rewatching. It was one of my Mom's favorites and my dad liked it the one time he saw it before he passed. The only other Coen Bros movie I REALLY loved besides this one is The Hudsucker Proxy. It's such a fun film and I have NEVER seen anyone react to it. It'd be a great one for the channel tho. Definitely a good reaction movie.

Donna Castellano

Agree on THP. I've never seen a reaction to it and it's such a great movie.

Tyler Foster

I've seen two full-length reactions to Hudsucker Proxy...because I paid to request them on other channels. ;)

James Miley

Barton Fink (1991) is another great Coen Brothers film. John Turturro is the main character, and John Goodman is also in the film.

MacGuffinStuff

I've never read the Odyssey, just a little of the Iliad in high school, now I really want to read them both but when I'm reading the Odyssey I bet I'll keep comparing it to O Brother. I know about the Cyclops and the main purpose, Ulises (Odysseus) trying to get back to his wife etc. But now I have to wonder if Babyface was based on a character and everything else. Also, this movie has one of the best soundtracks. I love music in general and I love that the Coens and others also have an appreciation of the Olde Timey stuff lol. Speaking of there's, if you like music documentaries, "The Buena Vista Social Club". Ry Cooder is an American guitarist, but he's like a museum curator of music, no he's the Indiana Jones of music lol. He was trying to save music for posterity that otherwise would be forgotten so he went to Cuba and got a bunch of old musicians and singers from the glory days of the Cuban music scene. It's pretty awesome and I love the music, nothing like it.

MacGuffinStuff

And da smell uh dat dam dapper Dan did ding a bell with Big Dan.

Chris Bruneau

after seeing this in the theatre, we bought the soundtrack CD--its just amazing!

David Wilkins

We know who the REAL Dapper Dan is. 😶

John DiGiantomasso

A great movie. Glad you guys did it. I would describe the music as folk/soul/gospel. You two are so much fun!!
