This is my favorite part mary 28:59 you singing 🥰😍✌️❤️😚
Gotta watch out for those OB - Stackles
Not a fan of George Clooney watch dusk till dawn. He plays a good villain. That was his hit.
important to note that this movie is a kind of retelling of the odyssey. the hero is trying to get home to his wife, youve got the sirens, the cyclops, a prophecy, and many different adventures.
That would the ancient Greek mega-poem by Homer (700 BC!, published 1617).
Did you get that John Goodman, is the Cyclops? (one-eyed giant)?
@@spikeysnack Homer!? From the Simpsons!? No way
Don't forget the lotus eaters.
yea the odyssey is several levels above marys capacity.
You have you the oracle making predictions, you have the Governors and his huge sons as the Giants, not sure what else. Unlike the Coen Brothers, I actuality read the Odyssey but it was about 50 years ago, lol
"Isn't this place a geographical anomaly, 2 weeks from everywhere " one of the best lines in a movie, ever
Just as an FYI because it's doubtful you'd learn about him across the pond, but George "Babyface" Nelson was a real guy.
One of the most notorious bank robbers of the period and at least in this film he's portrayed as severely bipolar
a lot of Depression era gangsters became sort of folk heroes in the US
@@ctmdarkonestm Oligarchy'll do that.
We seem intent on re-creating this horrific period. I really don't know why.
"What kind of criminal is he?"
The kind that has a very short but spectacular career. Shot a kid when he was 12, stole a car at 13 started robbing banks at 21, was caught the next year, escaped a year after that, and then died in a shootout with the FBI at 25. He holds the record for killing more FBI agents than any other single person.
You said "Across the Pond". I'm assuming that means you're in the USA, and you think Mary Cherry is English? She's actually an Australian, in Sydney. Still, your comment applies anyway ... it's just a bigger pond. [Edit: unless of course you already meant the Pacific Ocean....]
One of the best soundtracks to any film i have ever seen
Got to agree. :)
You mean heard.
Grammy award winner!
Second only to Footloose.
You got that right. The music is a big part of why I love this move, especially the soundtrack
"Tommy sold his soul to the Devil, Pete and Delmar have been saved, apparently I'm the only one who remains unaffiliated." has got to be the best line EVER!
I'm a big fan of his daughter's "That's YOUR misfortune!"
I'm a big fan of "Baptism! You two are just dumber than a bag of hammers."
and
"The color guard is colored! Who made them the color guard?"
I'm gonna go with "Well ain't this place a geographical oddity....two weeks from everything!"
"I don't want Fop - I'm a Dapper Dan Man!"
"Well we was fix'n to fornicate."🤣
"Well, I'll only be 82," is one of my favorite line deliveries. It's so innocent - yet completely inappropriate for that moment. Always makes me smile.
So many great lines in this film , lol .
What an interesting experience to be introduced to America and American history and American tropes, backgrounds, truths legends, music and vernacular almost strictly through the lens of Red Dead Redemption 2.
You got the Sirens part, but this film is really based on Homer's Odyssey.
Yes, and John Goodman is the Cyclops, the one-eyed giant.
@@robertpearson8798 **is*
Ulysses
The soundtrack to this movie won even more awards than the film itself. My late dad was a great fan of both country music and deadpan comedies, so getting him the DVD/CD boxset of this for Christmas decades ago was a great moment. And this was another excuse to enjoy the movie and remember him again - thanks for reacting to it!
I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when the Grammys announced the soundtrack as Album of the Year.
I love how she realized that the blind man was a prophet. Most people including myself don't catch that the first time through.
I don't think Clooney will ever top this role. He was just perfect for it.
Clooney agreed too do this movie without even reading the script.
He was also great in Leather heads.
He topped it with Michael Clayton
Well its his country. He is from Kentucky so this is kinda having fun in his home land
@@Anub1s0 Kentucky and Mississippi are really quite different though
This movie is based on an Ancient Greek poem called “The Odyssey” by Homer. It’s one of the Coen brothers best films and a personal favourite of mine that I watch every time it’s on TV. The cinematography is outstanding, the acting is first rate and the music is memorable, particularly the song “Man of constant sorrow”. The music is almost a character in the film.
I personally love how they insert actual historical characters in the film. Tommy the guitarist is taken from the real life guitar player Robert Johnson, who also allegedly sold his soul to the devil. And Baby Face Nelson was a real bank robber from the depression era.
Aside from all its great qualities it’s also a very quotable film.
Don't call him "Baby Face!"
Actually Tommy Johnson is taken from the real life Tommy Johnson, who was no relation to Robert Johnson, but also had a legend of selling his soul to the devil in exchange for his musical abilities.
The guitarist who sells his soul to The Devil is a real legend about a real guy. Robert Johnson was a revolutionary blues guitarist, credited as one of the inventors of Rock and Roll. According to the legend, he introduced the world to innovative new music no one had ever heard before after selling his soul to The Devil at a crossroads. He's part of the reason they call it "The Devil's Music"
The film, "Crossroads", starring Ralph Macchio with musical stylings by Stevie Vai tells that story
The story was originally told about Tommy Johnson, but somehow it transferred to Robert Johnson, possibly because he's more famous.
That's the plot for a Supernatural episode that debuted the Hellhound and Crossroads Demon
Yes, as mentioned the crossroads myth was applied to more than one blues musician back in Robert Johnson's time. It's a myth from Africa and not originally the devil at the crossroads (as it was a West African myth) but some kind of spirit as most pre-monotheistic religions had. The devil replaced the previous spirit in America as most slaves were forced to adopt Christianity and its cosmology.
It's worth mentioning that the actor, Chris Thomas King, is also a blues musician in real life.
To address your comments as to George Nelson's lack of care in concealing his identity, back in those days the extent of crime-stopping was basically "If the criminals are there when the police arrive, they will go to jail. If they are not, then they won't." It was pretty common practice for bank robbers especially to announce their names loudly in order to build their notoriety, and some would even shoot their names into the walls of the bank before they left.
There's a lot more to it during the great depression. Some labeled criminals were seen as heroes to the common man. Organized crime during the depression is a truly interesting history.
Ye can’t imagine they could do much to track criminals down back then lol.
The Oracle, the Sirens, the cyclops, a journey home to see his wife before she chooses another suitor. Its all based on Homers' 'Odyssey'.
You also have these Ancient Greek names peppered throughout, which was characteristic of the old south
Also, kind of the "no name". Ulysses tricked the Cyclops by naming himself no one/no name, so the other Cyclopes didn't chase him.
Killing the sacred cattle of Helios…
@@simeonteitelbaum3673Like Ulysses Evertt McGill. Ulysses is the Roman version of Odysseus.
The 1930's gangsters weren't fussy about hiding their identity, if anything, they revelled in their status as colorful folk heroes. Music is indeed a major element of the film and it became one of the best selling soundtracks in recent years. By the way, if no one else mentioned it, the title of this film comes from a line in a 1941 comedy called "Sullivan's Travels". It's about a movie director tired of making fluffy comedies who aspires to make a film of meaning and social importance, which will be titled "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", itself a play on words.
The true story of George "Babyface" Nelson is really fascinating.
But has Count Dankuka done an _Absolute Mad Lads_ about him?
I was told later after watching this. That it's basically The Odyssey.
This film has one of my favorite soundtracks and still listen to it on a regular basis.
The soundtrack for this movie sold more copies than any soundtrack in history. I think it still holds the record for most copies sold to this day.
Not even close.
1. The Bodyguard
2. Saturday Night Fever
3. Dirty Dancing
4. Titanic
5. Grease
@@sotvomike oh ok…I guess I’m mistaken….could have sworn I read that somewhere..
@@jamesmoore4003 No worries, my friend!
The slapstick in this movie is brilliant. I love Everett's facial expressions when he gets unexpectedly pummelled by his wife's fiancé
A Coen Brothers classic. The soundtrack won multiple Grammys and was so popular that it helped aid a revival of bluegrass music to a mainstream audience.
The obvious next step is "The Big Lebowski", and of course "Raising Arizona"
A big part of why people had so many kids during the depression was basically to guarantee the best chances of survival. More kids were more mouths to feed, but it meant that you had more chances that one of your offspring would survive and once they got old enough you'd have more help around your house. My family is from rural Appalachia and my grandmother is the oldest girl of 10, with each sibling having at least 2 children.
This movie, in my opinion, was perfect. Perfect cast, perfect acting, perfect script.
I can watch this movie on repeat and never get tired of it.
it's also infinitely quotable.
And a perfect soundtrack!
this is one of my favorite comedy movies "Damn, we're in a tight spot" one of my favorite lines in this movie.
First time I saw this in the theater, I had to go see it again because the first time I was so taken by the music that I had missed the plot completely.
I understand you. The music in this movie is just great.
The Coen Magic✨
A couple of interesting musical and historical notes, the worksong the prisoners are singing at the beginning was recorded in 1959 by Alan Lomax, a folklorist and ethnomusicologist who's famous for his recordings of folk music all over the world but especially in the American south. The credited musicians on the track, James Carter and the Prisoners, are actual prisoners recorded on location at Parchman Farm Prison in Mississippi. James Carter, the prisoner leading the song, received $20,000 for the rights to the song but had to be tracked down before he could receive his check, when they found him he said that he didn't even remember recording the song but he was surprised to hear that the soundtrack was outselling Michael Jackson, reportedly saying "You tell Michael that I'll slow down so that he can catch up with me."
Tommy, the blues singer who sells his soul to the devil, is based on real life blues musicians Tommy Johnson and Robert Johnson (no relation), both of whom were claimed to have sold their souls. In Tommy Johnson's case, his own brother claimed that he had done so. It's also worth noting that he's played in the movie by Chris Thomas King, a blues musician in his own right.
Chris Thomas King isn't the only musician to appear on screen by the way, the KKK leader who sings "O Death" is portrayed by Ralph Stanley, a legendary bluegrass singer, and the grave diggers who sing "Lonesome Valley" are portrayed by the gospel group The Fairfield Four.
Wait so is Mary unfamiliar with the Coen brothers’ filmography? If so she has so many great films ahead of her!
Right!! My personal favorite is The Big Lebowski
If you liked Penny, you should make a point of watching one of the Coen Brothers earlier movies, Raising Arizona, she's in that one, too, and she's brilliant.
I'll agree, and add-on that everyone should make a point of watching the Coen Brothers, period.
Miller’s Crossing is a classic
Raising Arizona is my favorite Coen Brothers movi
She should watch all of the Coen Brothers movies.
My Fi-ance left me.
It's remarkable how often the remark "None of this is necessary" applies to Cohen Bros. films. It's awesome.
Mary watching a Coen Bros. film, what a woman of culture!
In the end, I understood that the blind man meant to say that they themselves and/or their musical talent was the treasure they were looking for. A true 2000s classic
I never saw it that way but now it makes sense!!!
My favorite movie! So glad to see this underrated classic getting more recognition
Based on the Odyssey: blind man is Teresias in the Greek original. The Cyclops was represented by Big Dan T.
I saw an interview recently where George Clooney said he practiced a ton to sing for the movie he thought he was doing well but after the recording session they used a professional. He was a little hurt since he had famous relatives known for their singing such as his aunt Rosemary Clooney.
Everyone check out the sound track for this movie it is amazing. A man from where I live is said to have written man of constant sorrow Richard Daniel Burnett (October 8, 1883 - January 23, 1977) was an American folk musician and songwriter from Kentucky. This music was/is very important to us in this part of America and I'm glad this movie helped reintroduce some people to it.
In high school, my choir had a pop show, where we had the guys sing Man of Constant Sorrows, which ended up being me (the resident Country Boy in a city full of Rap and Hip Hop enthusiasts) singing the entire song with a lot of background singers. Great movie, great music. This film single-handedly revived Bluegrass.
Also, my church choir literally sang Down By The River To Pray yesterday.
It took quite a while for me to watch O Brother Where Art Thou in the theater because George Clooney was in it, but the film turn me around on Coolney's acting.
This is a "modern"retelling of the odyssey by Homer. There are several key events of the odyssey retold in this movie such as the blind oracle foretelling their struggles, the sirens attack, getting trapped by the cyclops where 1/3 of their group dies (was only a toad, but they believed he was dead), receiving a warning from their "dead" friends, and returning home to prevent his wife from marrying another
The music is so epic for this movie
I'm so happy you are reacting to this. I love the Coen Bros and this is probably my second favorite movie from them (The Big Lebowski #1).
No Country For Old Men #2, this movie #3 and fargo #4.
@@lolmao500 you’re right. I should have said the Coen Bros comedies. The Big Lebowski is still #1 though
If you’re still looking for comedies, I definitely recommend Election (1999). I think you’ll really appreciate how scandalous it is for a teen comedy. And Reese Witherspoon absolutely kills it in that movie.
it's way too long though. kinda stops being enjoyable halfway through.
I love this movie. It's an incredible satire.
Pick Flick!
No nudity, and yet it gets so raunchy all of a sudden!
This is one of my favorite movies ever.
One Of Coen's Masterpieces Ever Made
No one's ever heard of it, then they see it and they love it.
I can confirm the song is used in Baptisms, my cousin got baptized with that soundtrack at his church. So it happened at least once.
This is my absolute favorite Coen Bros movie! Glad you enjoyed it so much, love the channel.
This is one of my favourite movies ever. I'm always happy when someone else discovers it
Absolutely one of my all time favorite films for nearly 20 years since I first saw it as a kid!
" im votin fer yours truly."
" im votin fer yours truly too"
...
Ok...im with you fellas...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homer ripped this movie's story off in his story the Odyssey. I believe the filmmakers actually sued and got a huge settlement out of it.
“But Pappy, they’s integrated!” 😂
That’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I first watched this movie when I was a kid and it got me introduced to George Clooney, I love ❤️ him and his movie roles he does.
All Cohen brothers movies are great! This is one of their best! And listen on here, to a chorus singing, Down In The River To Pray!!
John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson have acting resumes as long as your arm. Turturro is a Coen Brothers staple, as is John Goodman and Holly Hunter.
Holly Hunter (Penelope) is actually the biggest Hollywood star in the movie. She has won Oscars, Baftas, AFIs. AFCAs ,lots of Emmys, Golden Globes, and about 1000 nominations. "The Piano" is set in NZ and won her the Oscar. You probably heard her as the voice of Elastigirl in the Incredibles movies. You would probably love her in Steven Spielberg's 1989 "Always".
The soundtrack of this movie is just great. I'm not a country person but I had to buy it back in the the day.
Yep. I went so far as to buy copies for friends & family.
loved this film and the sound track 🤠 thank you for the review
I remember my Spanish teacher putting this on in class back in highschool 😂.
I have to say that this may be my favorite of any of your reactions.
The Coen Brothers put their own spin on movies. I'd suggest The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona and Fargo, all Coen Brothers movies. The first two also have John Goodman in them and The Big Lebowski also has John Turturro (Pete).
the Ladykillers is pretty good too!
Although she might not recognize him. He was so creepy to me that I didn't know it was him till later lol
Turturro was also in Miller's Crossing.
The actor playing the Governor was also the voice of Peter's Dad on Family Guy
Delmar you've seen before...he was "Blue"/Professor Stearns in the Incredible Hulk
Pete is in a bunch of movies, was in the first three Transformers movies as a government agent
“Road to Perdition” is a good choice if you want to revisit this era. It’s a completely different type of movie, but it takes place in a similar setting and it has a very similar aesthetic.
There are not enough reactions to that stunning movie.
@@NightSkyJeff seriously, it’s an all-around beautiful movie with an amazing score and it has so many great actors that play against their type.
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351 the score is haunting.
Very good movie
Ever seen Life? I feel it fits this theme as well.
As I recall, this film had the surprise of George Clooney singing. The actors who played "The Soggy Bottom Boys" are the actual singers of all their songs in the film. You can even go to Apple Music and find the band, with their songs available.
Actually, Dan Timensky from the band Union Station was the voice behind George Clooney’s singing - he was lipsynching the song. Dan was also a backup singer for Alison Krause
@@larrywright3132 interesting
Joel & Ethan Coen are genius writers & directors. All of their movies are GOLD! Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, No Country For Old Men, every one a classic!
George Clooney has been in some very good movies. Out of Sight, From Dusk Till Dawn and Oceans Eleven are a few i'd recomend. He is also a pretty good director, most recently he made a movie called The Tender Bar staring Ben Affleck which I really enjoyed.
The soundtrack to the movie was a hit on the charts in America and I think won some Grammys in America.
They released a soundtrack to this movie when this came out when I was a kid, around the early 2000's.
My parents bought it and we listened to it a lot. The only movie soundtrack we've ever gotten.. I remember English teacher's at school telling us about how this movie was based on a book, but the book being different in a way.
The artists who performed the songs of this movie also released an album--Down From the Mountain--that has some more amazing "old-timie" music.
Great movie commentary, Mary! Love it
The song Angel Band at the end always gets me a bit teared up. My late grandmother used to sing that when I was little.
FUN FACT: The song "Man of Constant Sorrow" was written for the soundtrack. They released it as a single and it was even bigger than the movie. Very meta.
Incorrect fact. It was a cover of a hit from a previous era actually. There have been many covers, including one by Bob Dylan.
@@ac7268true... I didn't hear the Dylan song till after I saw this movie, but the Dylan version is better. One of my favorite songs.
The big claim to fame for this movie is that it was the first Hollywood movie to be 100% digitally color graded to get a certain look. The cinematographer Roger Deakins couldn't get rid of the green color of the vegetation via normal chemical development methods so he spend 11 months developing the digital workflow to get the result we see in the movie.
It is also a great interpretation of Homers Odyssey by the Coen brothers, transposed to depression era United States.
one of those movies everyone should watch. its a gem of movie history.
Charmingly entertaining video, as usual. Thanks for sharing your time. You're a delight.
Thumbnail: "Why didn't anyone tell me this was so hilarious?"
Well, frankly because you wouldn't have believed it, even if we managed to put it into words...
"Well ain't this place just a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!"
So many memorable lines in this movie.
3 Kings is another cracking Clooney film.
This is my favorite Coen Brothers film.
The initial inspiration for the idea was the Brothers' trip through the American South and hearing lots of bluegrass and old-timey music. They wanted to make a movie based around the music. Then they came up with the idea of basing it on Homer's The Odyssey. It turned out to be more "inspired by" The Odyssey. We got Ulysses, the Oracle, the Cyclops, the Sirens, Penelope...
Penny was played by Holly Hunter, who is really awesome! My favorite movie that she starred in was Always. It also has John Goodman in it, along with Richard Dreyfus and Audrey Hepburn, a Hollywood legend! Always was her last film.
The movie was based on Homer's Odyssey. The blind soothsayer, the 3 sirens, and the cyclops (Big Dan T) were part of the book.
So was folks getting changed into animals.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Yup, there a buch of smaller references but I didn't want to post a wall of text. Cheers!
Stephen Root played the blind guy and Charles Durning played the mayor, and how they both didn't win Oscars is beyond me!
As many have already said, this movie is based on Homer's "Odyssey".
The three blind men are the Fates - the old man at the beginning spins the yarn, the man at the radio station weaves the tale, and the policeman cuts the thread.
A George Clooney movie worth watching is Up in the Air. Co-stars Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick who gives an incredible performance. If fact, I watched Twilight because I discovered Kendrick was in it.
Homer writing in the 30's south. Great fun. Love the music and always enjoyed the story.
The soundtrack to this movie is so good. I think it won a Grammy.
Damn, we're in a tight spot! XD Great pick, one of my favourite movies of all time! I always sorta liked Clooney, but agreed, this one made me APPRECIATE him as an actor.
This album soundtrack sold a bazillion copies and won a Grammy, if I recall correctly. The film was a huge hit as well, of course.
This review was really good...made me a subscriber. Nice one Mary
The first time I watched this movie, I had no clue what was going on. Then I saw that it is based on Homer's Odyssey and suddenly it all made perfect sense.
One of the best favorite Coen Brothers films! Hot damn! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys!!
Mary you made me laugh the entire movie! Thanks I needed that
This movie has the best soundtrack.
You brought many smiles to my face, good to see you smiling, stead of crying to one of my favorites. Thank you
IMO, this is one of the few movies I've seen that is special in a multiple of ways. It has every element that makes any amazing movie experience. The year this film was released the soundtrack was the number one album for most of that year, I believe. Stupendous movie, I'm so happy you reacted to it, with a tone unlike any other, with the exception of The Newton Boys that I would say is in this very small catergory.
So happy you reacted to this. I hope you’ll do more Coen Bros movies.
Just so you know, this movie is a "retelling" of Homer's Odyssey .. keep and eye out fir the 3 Surens and the Cyclops. And, BTW, it helps a lot if you are familiar with the Depression era south as a LOT of the events in the film are based on real events...
George Clooney is great in this, and also in Out Of Sight!
I like how the bullets ripped through the metal van, but didn't penetrate the wooden boards of the barn
A friend of mine grew up in a very strict church, she was shocked when she saw this movie because the church played the soundtrack.
