O Brother, What a Good Movie!

1.) My favourite scene in the movie is when the three characters come across the sirens. I enjoyed this scene for many reasons, I liked the song they were singing, it was stuck in my head for days!!! I also found the scenery and the colours to be very beautiful.

2.) O Brother Where Art Thou starring George Clooney as Everett, Tim Blake Nelson as Delmar, and John Turturro as Pete.

3.) The cinematographer for the film was Roger Deakins, said that they wanted to alter the colours, with the intensity of colors dictated by the scene and natural skin tones that were all shades of the rainbow." I feel that this was sucessfully accomplished and the alterations gave the film an aged look. The lack of bright colours helped create an atmosphere of the depression of the 1930's.

4.) The Wizard of Oz
The Ten Commandments
The Blues Brothers
The Graduate
The Odessy

5.) I have not seen very many of the Coen brother's movie but after watching O brother, I am very interested in seeing more of their work

6.) I loved all the music in the movie, I have even added two of the songs to my Ipod. My favourite songs from the movie are "I am a man of constant sorrow" and "Go to Sleep little baby". I think that this music was chosen because it was really good music that was appropriate to the era. The music was also very interesting and catchy.
