O Brother, Where Art Thou?--This Movie Made Me Feel Messy

I felt a little bored when I watched it, so I watched it twice before I finished it.

The opening chapter is the old man's prophecy, setting the tone. At first I thought it was a treasure hunt; another time it was a detective drama; another time a comedy; and finally I found out that it was actually a romance drama; and incidentally, it was anti-racism. A film has so many themes to express that it will become a hodgepodge if you are not careful, and you will not be able to taste the taste of any ingredient, but will only feel sticky.

The talkative George Clooney kept chattering all the way, pulling a hairspray for a long time, and he really couldn't get to this point. The bridge that turns into a frog in the middle is really old-fashioned.

American country music, an inexplicably popular band, In order to find his lover, he made up lies and searched for the treasure of 1.2 million US dollars, which became the return road of the father of 7 daughters, and solved the work problem by the way.

Messy is the feeling of this film.

    A film that goes through 2 to the end, I don't know anything about "Odyssey", but the adaptation of the Coen brothers is completely subverted to the extreme. I watched it all as a road comedy. The character settings are very crazy, and they still have a strong fable. The songs are pretty good, and the first-line Hollywood actors are so good at singing, I really admire it~

    8.2/10.0 #ThreePilgrimage# Taking America in the mid-twentieth century as the skin and "Odyssey" as the core, the Coen Brothers deduced a unique highway in a unique, country, musical, and joking way. piece. Inheriting Kerouac's free-spirited romance on the road, "Three Kings" uses a very ironic black humor to give the story a dramatic tent of ill-fated and political allegory. Homeric dramatic uproar, and Sophocles-style contemplation of fate. In addition, under the veneer of extreme religious overtones, the Coen brothers use this film to play with the concept of man's "belief". Whether it is Ku Klux Klan fanaticism or jealous pity, the word "faith" is used in In the process of repeated collapse and reconstruction, it is deconstructed and fragmented. - Whether it is an objective idealist or a materialist; a conservative or a reformer; a politician or a desperado; whether with or without the blessing of the mysterious power of radio, Unity before the clutches of fate - this is the philosophy of the Coen brothers.

  • Ulysses Everett McGill: Yessir, the South is gonna change. Everything's gonna be put on electricity and run on a paying basis. Out with old spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstition and the backward ways. We're gonna see a brave new world where they run everyone a wire and hook us all up to the grid. Yessir, a veritable age of reason - like they had in France. And not a moment too soon...
