"Well ain't this place just a geographical oddity? 2 WEEKS FROM EVERYWHERE!" 😂
Gopher Everett?? Lol
One of my favorite lines in this movie.
I use that line quite a bit!
“Say, any o’ you boys smithies?”
Me too! No one gets it but us!@@nettiemac
I love this movie like the fact that this is somewhat based on Homer's epic Greek poem “The Odyssey” like for example the singing women in the river are sirens, John Goodman’s character Big Dan is the cyclops Polyphemus, & many more
Oh, same here
Everett's actual first name is Ulysses
I think "loose adaptation" is the fairest description. LOL
I believe that there were sacred cows killed in the odessy as well (when George Nelson shot the cows)
😊😊
Homer Stokes was "ridden out on a rail" which was a form of punishment initiated by a mob when someone had angered them. Sometimes it came with tarring and feathering.
My family is from the old Mississippi and my dad can attest to seeing people getting ridden out on a rail.
@@BessieRiggs that would be quite the sight, an experience to remember no doubt.
A tradition that should make a return, if you ask me.
"Baby Face" Nelson was a real bank robber who apparently really was bipolar.
John Goodman represents the Cyclops in The Odyssey. The Odyssey is an epic poem written by Homer between 1200 and 500 BCE in ancient Greece. It was the sequel to his epic poem, The Iliad, one of the oldest extant works of literature still read by modern audiences.
The Iliad recounts the events of the Trojan War, while The Odyssey recounts Odysseus' 10 year journey home after the fall of Troy. Both tales draw heavily from ancient Greek mythology. Mythical creatures and Olympian gods were involved.
I suppose there could be many movies. There’s Ulysses (1954) and The Oddysey (1997). There’s also the 2004 movie, Troy, which doesn’t involve the gods. It would be more from The Iliad than The Odyssey. I haven’t seen any of them, so can’t really make any recommendations.
Hey, man, Giraffe had reach.
It's like Poetry!
It sort of Rhymes!
Yes. And my mother's family is related to him. LOL.
Hated reading those as a kid, but I love it now. Such great poems.
Oh yeah. And there were Sirens in The Odyssey too (also was in this movie)
@@HeartAngel1796 yep, and not to forget the blind oracle, who would be Tiresius in the Odyssey
Fantastic movie. I’ll go to my grave thinking Clooney should have won and Oscar for this role.
"Uh my hair" has become a common phrase in our house. I agree, Gorgeous George's comedic acting talent was huge.
All of them.
I love this story. And the soundtrack is pure magic
I'm gonna have to listen to my copy now
One of the best soundtracks ! I remember when the movie came out I bought the soundtrack before I bought the movie 😂
One of a few soundtracks I bought without any hesitation.
Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar) is so fucking good in this movie, his deliveries never fail to crack me up.
One of the funniest Coen Brothers films ever made!
It's a retelling of THE ODYSSEY by Homer.
i had just recently learned this
The Coens write comedy as expertly as the dramas they're known for. It's insane how hilarious their screenplays are.
Tommy is based of a real person named Robert Johnson, he's in the forever 27 club and the legend is he couldn't play guitar for nothing then all of a sudden became amazing and the legend of him selling his soul at the crossroads was born
Actually, Tommy is based on Tommy Johnson (no relation) who originally had the infernal deal.. The story was misattributed to Robert Johnson because writers confused them based on their names and the lack of original records. Also Robert makes a better story. Tommy only made 3 recordings over his life but had a long career dyeing at the age of 60. Robby came in and only had a much shorter career (effectively 7 years). Both told stories about how they got their ability through a deal with the Devil both had songs that had supernatural themes, but we actually have recordings of Robert Johnson's like "Hellhound on my Trail" and "Me and the Devil Blues." Also, Robert dies about the time he was invited to play Carnegie Hall, fulfilling the devil's bargain. Just a better story.
But many early blues musicians adopted or actively spread myths about supernatural origins. Ike Zimmeman, Robert's mentor, supposedly practiced in a cemetery at night, the only placed he could practice without disturbing people at night. That grew into him bargaining with Lucifer in the graveyard.
@Mauther yep.
Also he had night terrors and hallucinations of huge black dogs coming after him. In the show Supernatural, their crossroads demons and hellhounds were based almost completely off of Bob Johnson's story.
This is my favorite Coen Brother movie. I love the soundtrack, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2001. It really surprised everyone when an album of old-timey music beat out albums by India Arie, Outkast, U2, and Bob Dylan to win Album of the Year.
George "Baby Face" Nelson was a real gangster in the 1930s, at one point the FBI's Public Enemy #1.
Tommy Johnson was a reference to bluesman Robert Johnson, a below average blues guitarist of the 1930s who, legend has it, went to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the devil, thereafter becoming a very talented and successful blues guitarist until his death in 1938. He recorded a song called Cross Road Blues about the event. The band Cream, with Eric Clapton, had a hit in the 60s with their version, called Crossroads.
There is a movie called _Crossroads_ starring Ralph Macchio about Robert Johnson & other blues singers following after him to the Crossroads for fame.
Sirens! I love that you called them Sirens. You pegged it perfectly on a guess! The story is based on Homer's Odyssey, so those were the same sirens you were talking about, just as women instead of sea creatures.
They ARE Sea creatures!
They were literally in the river!
Absolute classic. I had the soundtrack on CD and just about wore it out. I laugh so much every time I watch this- always puts me in a good mood😊
I went and saw Ralph Stanley the "Oh Death" singer in concert. He's a piece of history in the bluegrass music scene.
That’s awesome!
We’re in a tight spot boys!
Damn...we're in a tight spot!
The Coens are responsible for some of the most consistently hilarious films of all time. This, The Big Lebowski, Rasing Arizona, Burn After Reading.. and then you have stuff like No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Blood Simple, some of the darkest films ever made 😂
Burn after reading was Brad Pitts funniest movie, I remember he's the only reason I enjoyed the movie haha
The beautiful thing about Fargo is how it's both hilarious and dark
Oh man burn after reading is hilarious. I watched it for the first time on acid so that intro was crazy🤣🤣🤣
@@igpx0Brad Pitt is also very funny in the movie Snatch.
IRL Lester Joseph Gillis aka Babyface Nelson was partners with the infamous John Dillinger. He died at the age of 25 from gunshot wounds.
No he absolutely did not!
He died from bleeding out!
Fun Fact: O Brother Where Art Thou is actually based on The Odyssee from Greek Mythology!!! The Sirens, the blind farer, the one eyed giant, the main character wanting to return home and get his wife and children back!!
And about 2700 years old! Imagine if Homer could have come forward in time to see the story transformed!
And his wife is named Penelope - shortened to Penny.
I was watching Cinebinge’s reaction and George started laughing at the Klan scene citing that in the original story, Odysseus and his crew escaped the cyclops disguised as sheep! A very clever jab at the racist ideology.
Fun fact: the opening credits already told them that.
@@RogCBrandI think Homer would have approved. George Clooney at his very best. No love for non porcines, absolutely 😂
Fun fact: some Scandinavian countries don't add prison time for people who escape custody. They figure it's pretty much human nature to want to get out of confinement, so escaping doesn't carry any additional penalty (people are, however, held responsible for any crimes they commit while on the lam).
So take your chances. Why not? Its just another adventure to replace boredom
Scandinavian countries are actually interested in rehabilitation and not just punishment and vengeance.
So there's no incentive to not try to escape? Sounds pretty stupid
@@hettbeansif that's what you got from the comment you severely lack critical thinking skills
@@DiggitySlice Because the focus is on rehabilitation instead of punishment, prisons tend to be a lot less nasty than they are in a lot of other places. It's not a perfect system or anything, but it's certainly worth reading up on.
“Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere”
My favorite line of the movie
A lot of the music in this movie is classic bluegrass. My hometown has a huge bluegrass music festival every year since 1972, and when this movie came out, it became a tradition to have a movie night showing of it, outdoors in the Pecan Grove. They still do show it to this day.
I went to the Telluride Bluegrass festival once and had a blast.
This is such a fun take on The Odyssey, with a fabulous cast.
This was one of my mom's favorite movies of all time, both of my parents enjoyed it and we would watch it when I was a kid. My mom loved delmar and george Clooney. My mom passed away last week watching this reaction helped me feel better and reminded me of the good days when I was young. I really do enjoy your reactions
So sorry to hear about your mom!!! My dad passed away 3 months short of ten years ago and still wish he was still around. But this is a great movie and one of my favorites too; though I'm not one who likes too much music in movies and feel this has too much. But I still love the movie. And yes I too am a big fan of octokrool too...not like others who talk thru the whole movie and miss important parts. Plus they are very funny and great insight into life. Have a good day...
“Did he get liquified!?” 💀💀💀💀
This movie Really punches you hard in the feels. The music wraps you up nonstop with joy, love and laughter.
This is one of my. Dad and I’s favorite movie. It’s incredible. All the feels.
Fun fact the song they make in the movie actually did become a massive hit in real life
Man of constant sorrow was around long, long before the movie
The guy getting taken out of town on a board was actually a thing that used to happen especially in the south. And yes, "those guys" would hood their horses as well
That was a rail.....
@@shelbyseelbach9568 i couldn't think of the right word. Sue me. I'd been drinking
@@scottwilson3741 I won't sue. Sounds like you may have enough problems already........
@@shelbyseelbach9568 because I had a few drinks on the wknd? Okeedokee
@@scottwilson3741 Mhmmmm......
When I subscribed, I finally knew what it was like to have my father's approval
Same 😢
I’ve been not so patiently waiting for this review and it did not disappoint 😭😭😭
Oh my goshhhh, I haven't seen this movie since I was younggggg! It scared me at some parts, especially when John Goodman smooshes the poor frog in his hand. But "I Am Man of Constant Sorrow" by The Soggy Bottom Boys will forever be a bop! So excited to watch this reaction! You guys are too funny! :)
Edit- Your guys' reaction to the cows made me laugh so hard I was tearin' up. Gonna go on an Octokrool binge now!
*toad!
Learn the difference!
It isn't a frog!
The guy who wanted to be a mater dei and wear a bowtie every day eventually went on to play the butler in Mr. Deeds, where he wore a bowtie for pretty much his entire life.
My hair!
The soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou? became a top-selling CD. Bluegrass and folk music fans especially love it.
The title "O Brother. Where Art Thou?" comes from the movie Sullivan's Travels (1941), in which the title character was a filmmaker who wanted to make a movie with that name. He never got it done, so the Coen Brothers finished it for him.
There really was a blues guitarist named Tommy Johnson whom people believed got his talent by selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads. Over time, the legend was transferred to Robert Johnson, probably because he was more famous.
There also really was a bank robber called Baby Face Nelson who was also known as George (though his real name was Lester Joseph Gillis). Nelson was a partner of John Dillinger. A lot of criminals in the depression era had wild nicknames, like Scarface, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, and Bugs Moran. My favorite is Creepy Karpis.
The scene at where they look out from behind the bushes at the Klan rally is a reference to the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Scarecrow, Tin Man, and The Cowardly Lion see the guards at the witch's castle. And the scene where they bring the prisoners into the movie theater is a reference to a similar scene in Sullivan's Travels.
They literally ran Homer Stokes out of town on a rail.
I love this movie. It is a delightfully quirky version of The Odyssey.
Don't feel too bad for the dog. He was Cerberus, and his master, the obsessed cop, was the Devil.
I always loved the sirens singing
*siren's
Such a great movie. I play this for my class when we are studying the Odyssey
The OctoKrool bros reacting to O Brother Where Art Thou ?
What have we done to deserve this ? Where's my popcorn?
The baddies in sheets used to cover their horses because horses have distinguishing marks. Imagine if you're doing something like they got up to and someone spots the horse you always ride and hollers "Hey that's Leroy Jones."
I loved this movie so much when it first came out, and the music, I bought the soundtrack. The whole cast was fabulous...Great reaction!
@23:40 "He's like a boxing giraffe!" Lost my mind laughing.
Favourite comedy from the Coen Brothers. A film that my family used to watch together from time to time.
Man Of Constant Sorrow hits you in the gut. Great song, great movie.
IS YOU IS, OR IS YOU AIN'T, MY CONSTITIENTS!?
This movie holds a special place in my heart. My Dad (who passed away at the young age of 65 to cancer) always played the music soundtrack to this movie. Makes me wanna cry but at the same time Ik it’s apart of this fucked life.
My dad passed from cancer when he was 50, me and him would always watch this movie
@@syn420951 Godbless brother. We will see them again
@@syn420951I am so sorry. My Mom is terminal right now…I feel your pain.
We. Thought. You. Was. A. Toad.
I saw this and first heard the soundtrack when I was young. And at the age of now 31…it still sticks with me. Such a great film and unique soundtrack!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. Bona fide means 'genuine.' By the way, here is the movie that the guys were watching in the movie theatre. It's the 1933 musical comedy 'Myrt and Marge', based off the radio show of the same name and co-starring the Three Stooges. ruclips.net/video/Wg8rsEJFAOQ/видео.htmlsi=C4IVwU8pgno_qm2g
I saw this movie for the first time about a year to a year-and-a-half ago, and ever since then when my twin daughters need diaper changes I call them "The Soggy Bottom Girls"
One of the best movies ever made! My whole family has the entire thing memorized, and as a classicist, I wholly endorse this Homeric adaptation 😂
You guys HAVE to watch the group Home Free's cover of the main song. It will open you world to the one of the best RUclips success stories.
If I had a dime for everytime I've been in a situation that was "pert near hopeless" I'd still be broke because that's the way it works when things are "pert near hopeless".
watched this back in the good old Blockbuster days! my 4 digit code was 5050!saw it with a friend at his work place and enjoyed some winegums and cheap soda that day!
This is one of my favorite films! I’m so glad they let you guys out to watch it.
Good night and happy New year guys from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹😎👌👍
It's always so weird to hear the names of place in a movie you've always heard of or been to nearby. Yazoo City, Tishomingo, and Itta Bena are real towns in Mississippi. Baby Face Nelson was a real bank robber but I don't think he ever hit a bank in Mississippi. It was actually Robert Johnson that sold his soul at the crossroads outside Clarksdale. I guess they couldn't get the rights to his name. Sirens, Cyclops the blind seer (Tiresias) this is actually The Odyssey. Parts of this were actually filmed in Mississippi. And if rumors are to be believed Clooney hooked up with two local hoochies in a hot tub at the Hilton on Countyline Road in Jackson.
In High School, I took Mythology 101 and when we got to Greek Mythology, more Specifically, The Odyssey; we first watched the '97 mini series and then we watched O' Brother, Where Art Thou. A whole week of O' Brother and it was glorious.
This was my late mother's favourite film. Before she passed, she had quite movie crush of George Clooney. This film is forever in special place in my heart.
She didn't pass!
She died!
Saying a stupid word or phrase like Passed or passed away doesn't make it any better!
Same. My mom passed last April and she absolutely loved this movie and the soundtrack. This is the first time I've watched it (sort of) since she passed.
I really like the fact that Black Homer was moving slowly on the handcart just after the freight train flew past and, at the end, he was moving away from the leashed Warby gals. Space and time are changeable.
The way y'all *SCREAMED* at the toad getting squished 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a great movie. The scene where they rescue Tommy is a shout out to the scene in the Wizard of Oz when the Tin Man, Lion & Scarecrow saved Dorothy from the Witch's castle. They copied the exact movements from the Oz characters, from the way they sunk down behind the rocks & the way they walked forward behind the shields dressed as the enemy. It's identical and brilliant. You guys are always a blast!
Mass groups of individuals singing in a force is terrifying. LOL "Help me it's a choral group! God help me they're doing acapella!"
The cow, on the roof, was predicted... Remember? Blind guy.
In the big rock candy mountains 🌄
Tear Up Nation- "I Have to say that kkk scene lives rent free in my head ever since I watched in the 8th for some Americans the kkk is goofy but in the old days it was a group that was pure evil and feared.
The song Oh Death that plays during that scene never fails to send goosebumps down my spine.
I had originally supposed this scene to be an analogue for Odysseus's descent into Hades's realm (when, actually, it was a tribute to the Witch's Castle scene in *The Wizard of Oz* - or so I'm told). 🤔 🤭
Go to sleep, you little baby. Go to sleep, you little baby. 🎵
During one point a couple of friends were supposed to come over to my place. They were running two hours late and didnt answer their phones, and it was worrying me. Finally they show up and i walk out, relieved, asking, "the hel took you guys so long?" One of them piped up and said, "well we got banished from Woolsworth..." Then he turned ro the other and asked "I dont know, Everett, was it just the one branch, or all of 'em?"
All was forgiven. They had spent the last two hours rewatching O' Brother Where Art Thou, refusing to pick up their phones because they were too engrossed in the film
I remembered watching this movie alot with my dad a true gem
" A Future Full Of Perils...", I like that!
They guy they met in the crossroads is a true story as well, Robert Johnson, infamously he sold his soul so he could play the guitar..He was known as the best guitar player in the world..His skill has inspired some of the most famous musicians today.
This is my absolute favorite John Turturro movie
Among other things this pretty much single handedly revitalized Bluegrass as a form of music, there were concerts with the performers of the songs from the soundtrack
Big rock candy mountian sounds like an amazing place. Also, that rendition of down by the river... mmm something about church hyma sung by thenfaithful in nature.. beautiful
One of my favs to watch a reaction to! This is one of the greats!
I literally couldn't stop laughing on your takes of baby face nelson..😂😂😂
Colony’s aunt Rosemary was a famous vocalist and he tells a funny story of thinking he could sing because a few of his relatives could. He got in the booth for this movie and saw everyone faces 😂 realized he couldn’t. ☮️
The blind radio recorder man plays a big role in Barry from HBO alongside Bill Hader. Check it out if you haven't. Lesser known show, but easily the best show I've seen in a long time -- maybe ever.
"O Death" by Ralph Stanley is perfection.
Glad to see holly Hunter was finally able to have children there was a time
I would love to see these guys react to Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
My favorite part of the movie is the oracle, who rides on the rail, and tells them exactly what will happen. My favorite is the "You'll see a cow... On the roof of a cotton mill...". When you first hear him say that, you're probably like "WTF a cow on the roof of a cotton mill?"... Until you see a fucking cow on the roof of a cotton mill, when the entire valley get flooded for the new dam.
"Cows!? I hate cows!" Rata-tatat! 😂
One of my favorite movies!! I have it on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and I have the soundtrack on CD and on vinyl record and downloaded on my phone!!
The old saying , "Ride him out on a rail" was perfectly filmed when the put the Grand Wizard/ politician, on a railroad tie, and exited him thru the front doors! .😂
"George" is "Babyface Nelson" he was on the same line as "Bonnie and Clyde, Machine gun kelly, john Dillinger"
No lie I bought the soundtrack for $3 at Walmart and thought the leader of the racist group’s sermon was the most beautiful thing ever and then I discovered it was HIM who sang it and my heart broke 💔💔💔 still the best movie soundtrack I’ve ever heard (besides Trainspotting and Mid90s)
No, that's the legendary Ralph Stanley singing "O Death". Actor is lip syncing.
Ain’t nothing wrong with the music, it’s still beautiful.
So, it's NOT the best movie soundtrack you've ever heard then.......
5:47 runoff I didn’t get until someone say run off .
R U N N O F T
George baby face Nelson was a real robber and gangster
Hell yeah one of my top movies! Glad you guys have such good taste hahah
I love that they stopped to pick up Tommy Johnson at the crossroads.
Clan horses.
The horses dressed as clan members were also spared...
As were the guards' horses standing over the chain gangs...
The two most recommended film adaptions of the Odyssey are:
-"Ulysses" (1954) starring Kirk Douglas
-"The Odyssey" (1997), a 2-part Canadian TV mini-series
I was really pleased to see this when looking for something to watch. Been really missing my dad (we lost him just before Christmas 2022) and he really loved this film too, and quoted it often. So watching it back again makes me think of him and laugh 🥰
"Oh, George, not the livestock."
George Nelson/Babyface Nelson was a real dude.
🎶It's time to put hard times behind, get all the bad things off your mind!
He's feeling good, she's feeling good, we're feeling good, yeah!
Just hanging out, just having fun, we're number one!!!!

I haven't even started watching yet but I just wanna say I found you guys through a reactor compilation for the Iron Giant, and you guys have a freaking laundry list of reactions for me to dig into, so im instantly subscribed to get in on!
Cheers!
The final town they in is Baxter tn, just down the road from where i li e, it's not mentioned but holly Hunter does mention Cookeville the county seat, and I've been in down town Baxter many times it looks pretty much like thst time forgot about and there are railroad tracks all through it even though the final scene is not Baxter
I wouldn’t camp with this man I wouldn’t trust him 😂 that line got me good
George "Babyface" Nelson was a real historical character.
Damn! We're in a tight spot!
Great, great movie. Top 3 Coen brothers.
From where they started to Baxter is about a 7 hour car drive and robert Johnson according to legend sold his soul in Memphis tn at the crossroads
33:13 the cow on the roof of a cotton house as foretold by the blind man.
The ballad of Buster scrugs is dope
