O Brother, Where Art Thou?	comment	O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a 2000 comedy-drama film written and directed by The Coen Brothers, and (very) loosely based on Homer's The Odyssey.The story follows three escaped prisoners in Depression-era Mississippi — Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney), Delmar O'Donnell (Tim Blake Nelson), and Pete Hogwallop (John Turturro). After fleeing the chain gang, they embark on a rollicking adventure in an attempt to reach a huge stash of money that Everett buried in his backyard. They have only a short time to do this, though, as the backyard in question is in an area slated to be flooded by the Tennessee Valley Authority to build a reservoir.On their journey, they meet — among others — a blind prophet, sirens, a Cyclops, and a gifted black guitarist who "sold his soul to the devil". In their attempts to evade the authorities and reach the money, they wind up recording a hit song, robbing a bank with George "Baby Face" Nelson, encountering the KKK (who are very evil), and inadvertently getting mixed up in the state gubernatorial election. And on top of all that, Everett must grapple with the prospect of reuniting with his wife and their children...Of particular note among the film's legacy is it being the first feature film to be entirely digitally color-corrected (to create a sepia-tinted look), as well as the tremendous success of its soundtrack, up to becoming the latest of four soundtracksnote and three film soundtracks in history to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Yearnote preceded by Henry Mancini's Music from Peter Gunn (won in 1959 at the very first Grammys ceremony), the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever (won in 1979), and the soundtrack for The Bodyguard (won in 1994). Most of the soundtrack, largely consisting of period folk music, was recorded by Alison Krauss & Union Station and other country-bluegrass acts (Dan Tyminski provided Everett's singing voice).Bonus points if you recognize the title from Preston Sturges' 1941 film Sullivan's Travels.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? / int_79b5677	comment	Belief Makes You Stupid: Everett repeatedly chides people for their religious faith. Examples: When Everett witnesses a riverside baptism service, he comments, "Well, I guess hard times flush out the chumps; everybody's lookin' for answers." After Everett's travel companions get baptized themselves, Everett remarks, "Baptism! You two are dumber than a bag of hammers." Toward the end of the film, when facing his own death, Everett falls on his knees and repents of his sins before God. After he is delivered from death (thanks to a sudden and massive flood of water), Everett discounts his conversion by noting that "any human being will cast about in a moment of stress." When his companions proclaim that the flood was an act of God, Everett comments, "Again, you hayseeds are showin' your want for intellect." (Note: Everett's watery salvation functions as a clever twist on Death by Irony. Deliverance by Irony, perhaps? Miraculous Baptism?)

O Brother, Where Art Thou? / int_7e74d66f	comment	Politically Correct History: Zig-zagged. The white heroes refer to Tommy as a "colored boy", but otherwise treat him as an equal. They also claim to be mostly black to deceive the radio station manager, and go back and forth on it. Said radio station manager insists that he won't play "colored songs," but once the "Soggy Bottom Boys" become popular he's ecstatic about them and signs them. Pappy O'Daniel doesn't seem to care that "they's integrated" after seeing how a crowd adores them and boots out his gubernatorial opponent for interrupting them. The KKK is shown in all its theatrically racist glory, but is also portrayed as a fringe organization that is not looked upon favorably by the common townsfolk. This portrayal has some basis in reality, as by the 1930s the second Klan's membership had dwindled compared to its heyday in the mid-1920snote specifically, the murder of Madge Oberholtzer in 1925 caused members to leave in droves; membership continued to decline until the Civil Rights Movement started gaining momentum in the 1950s, but they have never come close to the level seen in the twenties. It should be noted, however, that Homer Stokes feels perfectly comfortable announcing to a roomful of people that he belongs to an organization, wink-wink-nudge-nudge, that engages in cross-burning and lynching, and expects the audience to sympathize with him when he attacks people for stopping a lynching. It's not hard to guess that the only reason he's booed is because the people he's accusing happen to be a very popular music band, not because of general principle.

The trio walk past a couple of black kids (it's the racist South) carrying giant blocks of ice. By the time of the Depression, refrigeration had advanced to the point that Thomas Midgley Jr. had, unfortunately, discovered chlorofluorocarbons and it was possible to make ice in the summer.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? / int_8767b1f3	comment	Black-and-Gray Morality: The protagonists exist on the gray side, as three escaped convicts and a musician who sold his soul to the Devil ("I wasn't using it"). Everett is a consummate liar who tricked the others into thinking that he had a cache of buried treasure so they would help him escape prison in time to stop his wife from remarrying. Pete is loyal to his friends and family, though he is a bit violent. Delmar and Tommy are genuinely nice fellows, but Delmar did in fact rob a Piggly Wiggly and lie about it, while Tommy ran off and abandoned the group at one point when things look bad for the four. (A black man in the South facing a lynching... can you blame him?) Pappy O'Daniel and Penny are slightly further down, but still gray. Pappy is rude, selfish, and opportunistic. However, according to him, he tried everything he could to help the people that now support Homer Stokes. He also has no problem with the Soggy Bottom Boys including a black guitarist, even smiling when he notes "folks don't seem to mind they's integrated." Penny told her daughters that their father was hit by a train. But, given that Everett is a conman and a convict, she is right that remarrying the wealthy and "bona fide" Waldrip is probably best for her daughters. The antagonists are firmly on the black side of things. The Sheriff does a great deal of damage in his pursuit of the protagonists, threatening to hang Pete if he doesn't give up his friends' destination. He also tries to hang them even after they were pardoned, and includes Tommy in the hanging simply for associating with them. Also, he might be Satan. Big Dan Teague is a conman worse than Everett: he assaults Everett and Delmar for their money, and later participates in a KKK lynch mob. Homer Stokes presents himself as the "servant of the little man", but it turns out that he's a Grand Dragon of the KKK, leading the lynch mob to kill Tommy. And, finally, how on earth did Waldrip know that Tommy had sold his soul to the devil?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? / int_98f22e5f	comment	Wardens Are Evil: The Sheriff. While at the beginning he is in the right to hunt down Everett, Pete, and Delmar (because of them being fugitives), he goes for overkill tactics like burning down a barn with them inside. He insists that he answers to a higher law than man's (so he will just keep coming no matter what), and the moment he makes it clear that he will see them all hang even if they are now pardoned (and he will kill Tommy for no reason other than him being there with the fugitives), he crosses the Moral Event Horizon hard. That he is a Satanic Archetype doesn't help any.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? / int_9bca83eb	comment	Toward the end of the film, when facing his own death, Everett falls on his knees and repents of his sins before God. After he is delivered from death (thanks to a sudden and massive flood of water), Everett discounts his conversion by noting that "any human being will cast about in a moment of stress." When his companions proclaim that the flood was an act of God, Everett comments, "Again, you hayseeds are showin' your want for intellect." (Note: Everett's watery salvation functions as a clever twist on Death by Irony. Deliverance by Irony, perhaps? Miraculous Baptism?)

There's even a man named Menelaus! But he's not an expy of that character (see Historical Domain Character below).

Delmar happily chimes in, "Well, I'll only be 82!" Also, when Pete responds to Delmar's whispered "We thought you was a toad" line with a confused Flat "What", Delmar repeats the whisper more slowly and emphatically.

He is then forcibly immersed by the floodwaters, and everyone is saved. Literally. Early in the movie, Everett, Delmar, and Pete meet a blind prophet who claims, "You will see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a cow on the roof of a cotton house." At the end of the movie, they do indeed see a cow on a cotton house roof. The first time we hear about Pappy O'Daniel is over the radio with the Flour Hour playing "You Are My Sunshine". The heroes are rescued by Pappy jumping... walking around and climbing the stairs to get on stage and asking the Soggy Bottom Boys to sing "You Are My Sunshine".
