The road scene is linked to Ulysses, and Goodman should be teased. From the image of the Cyclops in the Three Kings of Prison Escape to the fat lame man in the folk songs of Drunk Township, it can be said that it is a contrast. And the image that runs through these two people is - stick. Yes, in the Three Kings of Prison Escape, Goodman knocked over the protagonist with a stick, but in the Drunk Town Ballad, he collapsed in the toilet with a small stick beside him (the stick kept hitting Davis on the head, maybe it was an intentional display element to remind the audience) ). "grab his stick" haha, if that's the case, then the Coen brothers are too naughty. Similarly, the driver who was caught by the police can also be regarded as the counterpart of Ulysses.
But when it comes to Ulysses, and that Walt Disney cat-and-two-dog poster (nothing can stop them), I'm more inclined to think that road scenes are the most obvious echoes of Ulysses.
The beater and the elements of the phrase "what you do" were not analyzed.
Maybe the times mean
maybe McCarthyism
maybe something else. . . .
