you're my sunshine

The first time I saw the Coen Brothers' work, when I heard the name, I thought it was an American Hollywood-style classic action movie. I downloaded it and put it on my computer. I didn't even think about it when I wanted to watch a movie. I read "The Art of Watching Movies" a few days ago, only to find out that it is a classic movie of the Coen brothers in their early years. I found it and watched it. As soon as the music from the title came out, I couldn't stop it.
I don't want to and don't have enough knowledge to support my overly religious interpretation of the film, selling souls to the devil at the crossroads, baby-faced George, or the cow on the roof. I also heard that this film is a different way of telling the "Odyssey", and the details of various characters in the film can be compared with those in Shakespeare's plays. I only sighed at the optimism and kindness of the little people in the process of treasure hunting all the way, regarded them as the steps and intentions of winning their own victory in the process of the struggle for power, and the ruthless execution of people (Tommy) under the protection of religious halo. The most moving freedom and mind are written on the three men in prison uniforms. Even if the plot is irrational, the party with the upper hand in the political competition is blown away by the performance of the hillbilly band, and the other party can use it to gain the upper hand. Inexplicably won the right to be pardoned. And so on, in the Coen brothers' films, is expressed and performed with a natural exaggeration of comedy.

The soundtrack is great.
