Baby Face Nelson was actual bank robber from the 30s and got the name “Baby Face” cause how young he looked!

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

He was also actually a complete maniac in real life too. He personally murdered more FBI agents than anyone else in the Depression era and other bank robbers stopped running with him because he was so dangerous.

[@snakesocks]

After his baptism, Delmar always tries to do the right thing for the rest of the film.

I also liked him as Dr. Sam Sterns/'Mr. Blue', with whom Bruce Banner was remotely collaborating on a cure in _The Incredible Hulk (2008),_ with Edward Norton, Liv Tyler and William Hurt. Marvel comic fans also know that the character went on to become the green-skinned, big-brained 'The Leader', after getting some of Banner's blood in his head wound when Blonsky/'The Abomination' wrecked his lab.

My favorite line comes from Delmar when Pete said he wouldn't get out until he's 83, and Delmar pipes up with "Well, I'll only be 82!" 😂🤣 Side note: Timothy Blake Nelson killed the role of Buster Scruggs. Such a great actor.

[@mattstanford9673]

This is hands-down a movie I would describe as "perfect." It's infinitely quotable, the humor is on-point, and the casting was wonderful. And the soundtrack outperformed the movie. It's ridiculous how great this movie is.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

Dan Tyminski (the one who is actually singing for George Clooney), along with the other three singers who were dubbed over the other two actors, won an award for the song "A Man Of Constant Sorrow". This is one of my favourite Coen Brothers movies. The other two are Fargo and Burn After Reading, which you should also watch.

[@hadoken95]

Burn After Reading is really underappreciated - absolutely LOVE the portrayal of the CIA. David Rasche and JK Simmons killed it.

[@greencello599]

When Dan told his wife that his voice would be coming out of George Clooney's mouth in this movie, she said, "This is my fantasy."

[@kotkaconforza]

This not only a great movie in its substance, but was also technically revolutionary when it came out. It was the first feature film colour corrected digitally. That's how they created that glowy, golden dust bowl look. It doesn't seem like a big deal looking at it now, because every movie is done that way, but back then it was a big deal.

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

The soundtrack won Album of the Year at both the Grammy's and CMAs. It is definitely worth listening to outside of the movie.

[@scrazzle]

This movie is a wealth of references, nods, and easter eggs. Aside from the film itself, George talks about how he was cast in an interview about his roles. I think he said he'd just come off of a flop and was worried about his future as an actor, and agreed to the movie without even looking at the script because it was the Cohen brothers. Don't take my word for it... go find the interview and watch it. It's great.

[@pillmuncher67]

Fun Fact: There really was a Pappy O'Daniel. He was a mill owner and politician from Texas. He sponsored the Light Crust Doughboys, with members Milton Brown and Bob Wills, who later were instrumental in shaping one of Americas greatest genres of music, Western Swing.

[@rcrawford42]

And the actor who plays him, Charles Durning, had a 72-year acting career, including films released after his death. Probably his most prominent role before this was as the governor in the Burt Reynolds/Dolly Parton movie "The Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas".

[@timeofgifts]

He was also the only man 'officially' to beat a certain Texan politician called Lyndon Baines Johnson in the 1941 election for US Senator for Texas; the 1948 US Senate race in Texas is a whole different story. The title 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?', was originally a fictional film in Preston Sturges's 'Sullivan's Travels' (1941), which I watched when Channel 4 was starting & showing lots of 1930's & 40's films on friday nights. The chain gang coming into the cinema is a nod to that film. @@rcrawford42

The Little Wharvey Gals were actresses who lip-synced in the movie, but their songs, 'In The Highways' and 'Angel Band' were actually sung by The Peasall Sisters, a vocal group from White House, TN, composed of 3 of 6 siblings. For their contribution to the soundtrack which won the Grammy for Best Album of the Year, 8-year-old Leah Peasall became the youngest Grammy winner ever.

[@philmullineaux5405]

The soundtrack was so good, it kept the movie alive in theaters for months, soundtrack sold millions, made stars out of new bands, and luckily people got to hear the old man, sing the O Death, song. The blind record guy, Stephen Root, should have won an Oscar, Charles Durning , the governor,should have won an Oscar! And pete has to have been in half of Cohen brothers movies! The type of singing done at the river baptism is called coral harp or sacred Harp singing. It's only 4 or seven notes, no sharps or flats, probably brought over by Irish in the early 1800s. Started in Appalachian mountains and meant for very poor folks, without instruments. Everyone sings all parts, loud as care to, in your own note and octave! It's quite a unique sound! Delmar so impressed the Cohen brothers, they started writing him a cowboy part for movies, at this time. It was a regular senior Netflix, where he played a singing shooting cowboy! The gravediggers are a singing band been around about 80 years called, The Blind Boys of Alabama!!

[@rcrawford42]

"The Ballad of Buster Scruggs". Strangest, and in parts darkest, western ever made.

As a blues player, the legend of the man who sold his soul to the Devil to play guitar is Robert Johnson, so it was always fun to see that they tip a cap to him with Tommy needing a ride at the crossroads. I always say he's the originator of the 27 Club.

Robert Johnson wasn't the first entry of the 27 Club. Alexandre Levy is the first on the list, dating back to 1864. Other musicians that are a part of the 27 Club include, but are not limited to, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Mia Zapata, and Kurt Cobain. Tommy Johnson, the real one, died of a heart attack at the age of 60.

10:54 One of the best CGI shots ever. So good that it completely fooled the humane society representative into calling and demanding answers. Instead of the usual "No animals were harmed" schtick, this film has "All depictions of animal violence are simulated" Great stuff!

[@neptunusrex5195]

For great CGI of animals check out the Planet of the Apes prequel/reboot trilogy with Andy Cerkis. It literally looks like real fur and the dynamic lighting when moving through light and shadow, the wet-look being able to make out single water droplets and the way light effects it just the level of detail is unreal.

[@fidenemini111]

They did even better in A Serious Man, which is modern day black comedy adaptation of biblical Book of Job. In closing credits it was "No Jews were harmed in the making of this film". Only Coen Brothers being Jewish themselves could make such a tongue-in-cheek shtick.

Great reaction to a gem of a movie! One of my favorite parts is with the "Sirens" singing to our 3 heroes and when one of the "Sirens" approaches and sings to "Delmar" directly...its revealed in behind the scene notes that Delmar's "blush" at that moment was REAL...and was captured on film. It was said that the actress playing the part of that particular singing "Siren" was flattered by his very real response.😮😅😆👏🏾

[@MrGadfly772]

Cohen Brother comedies are the best! You should also try "Raising Arizona" which was one of their earliest films. It stars a very young Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter and even Frances McDormand, as well as John Goodman. Oh, and Dapper Dan hair pomade makes an appearance as does the Hudsucker company. (Which is another one of their comedies; "The Hudsucker Proxy"). By the way Baby Faced Nelson was a real bank robber, and during the depression these bank robbers were like folk heroes... Nobody liked the banks during the depression.

George Clooney got his start on television before he became a movie star, and while most people remember his run on ER as a dramatic actor prior to making the jump to movies, prior to that he was known for sitcoms, hence why he's good at comedy.

I saw an interview with the Coens where they said that the idea for the movie was based on a vacation trip through the South when they first heard bluegrass music, and decided to make a movie based around the music.

Hey Addie! I really enjoyed your reaction to this movie. When I 1st watched the movie, I was surprised by how much I liked it. I even have the soundtrack. Just thought u should know, Tommy Johnson was a real Blues guitarist & singer. He actually said he went down to the crossroads & had his guitar tuned by the devil himself. It was something he told his brother. It was believed he had sold his soul to the devil. Some years later, there was another Blues guitarist & singer named Robert Johnson (no relation to Tommy), who was rumored to have sold his soul to the devil because he went from being a terrible guitar player to one of the best Blues guitarists within a year. In O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? It was Tommy Johnson. It was believed the 2 men had to have been helped by the devil because @ the time the Blues was considered "the devil's music". Anyway, great reaction.😊👍

[@asterix7842]

Another great reaction to a great movie, Addie! I've only seen a few Coen Brothers movies but, of those, this is my favorite. George "Baby Face" Nelson was a real gangster in the 30s and, at one time, was the FBI's Public Enemy No. 1. Tommy Johnson was a reference to Robert Johnson, an average blues guitarist who reportedly sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads at midnight in exchange for guitar skills. He then became a talented and well known musician. He detailed the experience in his song "Cross Road Blues". In the 60s, Eric Clapton's band Cream had a hit with their cover, called "Crossroads". This film and the soundtrack were big hits when they were released. The song Man of Constant Sorrow got lots of airplay, and the soundtrack won the Album of the Year Grammy, surprising many people that an album of old-timey music had beaten India Arie, OutKast, Bob Dylan, and U2.
