I'm probably not the first to mention this, but O Brother is a modern re-telling of the poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. If you read it in high school or college literature, you may recognize George Clooney's Everett as Odysseus, making his way home after the Trojan War but thought dead. You have John Goodman's Big Dan as the Cyclops, you have the blind man's prophecy, the three sirens, on and on. You don't have to read The Odyssey to appreciate O Brother, but if you do you'll appreciate both so much more.

[@jrepka01]

Even better, though referred to as Everett, Clooney first introduces himself as Ulysses Everett McGill. As you said, the story of the Odyssey is about him returning to his wife and family, only to find her surrounded by suitors wanting to marry her for Odysseus' kingdom and fortune. Before approaching his wife he disguises himself as an elderly man with a long white beard to defeat the suitors.

[@greatmatth3093]

Big Dan was the Cyclops

[@brettmuir5679]

Penelope was Odysius' wife. Here in this film she is Penny

[@ephraimwinslow]

I've had "Man of Constant Sorrow" running on repeat in my head for decades now. That is a TUNE.

[@RandomDudeOne]

The soundtrack for this film won Album of the Year at the Grammy's.

[@the-jevster]

i believe that man really did sell his soul to the devil

[@jumpingmanatee]

Me too!

[@Cadinho93]

Fun Fact: George Clooney sent the script and a recorder to his southern preacher grandpa to read all of his lines, so he can learn the script without reading it and also to learn the accent authentically. His grandpa started the recording with, "well George I don't know if we talk like this, but I'll give it a go." After they wrapped the movie, Ethan Coen asked him why he removed all the curse words. His grandpa had switched all the curses with "darn tootin" and other PG phrases. So his grandpa is technically one of the only people to edit a Coen brothers script. Also, I love how they make Delmar's character consistent after he gets baptized. You can tell really did believe what happened there and tried the rest of the movie to do his best.

[@dawnyoung2294]

Thanks for this story , it makes the movie even better ! It’s one of my favorites .

[@Eowyn187]

Wow great info!! Tysm

[@ghomerhust]

thats some really fun trivia!

[@jimjay1]

I never knew that! I can't imagine the film with swearing - grandpa knew what he was doing!

[@rubbersole79]

Greatest movie ever made. Easily.

[@quintondees4501]

"baby face nelson" was a real gangster, love how they integrated him into the movie

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Anyone know what character he corresponds to in the Odyssey? If any?

[@brachiator1]

​@@itzakpoelzig330In his arrogance and desire for fame as Public Enemy Number 1, Baby Face Nelson might be a version of Achilles.

[@Rspenesmit]

Most never realized that Nelson & John Dillinger both at 1 time were members of the Ma Barker Gang.

[@CuidightheachODuinn]

@@brachiator1 Been a while since I've read any epics but IIRC isn't Achilles described, or at least usually depicted, as looking very young and youthful? Makes the connection even more fitting.

[@kennydeez..1774]

And Robert Johnson...He was the guitar player. He was a real musician.

[@matthill5426]

Love this movie! First off, the blues guitar player Tommy Johnson, that''s supposed to be the famous blues man Robert Johnson, who allegedly sold his soul to the devil at a Mississippi crossroads at midnight for his skill at guitar. But notice how Tommy tells the boys, "the devil is white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice, and he loves to travel with a mean ol' hound!" Look at the cop chasing them: black sunglasses, never see his eyes, travels with a bloodhound, and almost claims their souls at the end!

[@khaleesimandy74]

Exactly, sold his soul to play that guitar the best. And if you listen to a few of his songs, he sings about hearing the hell hounds coming for his soul

[@ZachNa]

Pretty sure BJ pointed him out as the devil.

[@hadassah179]

exactly. it's odyssey + actual old south history. for the record a person can't actually sell their soul. ALL souls belong to God. The devil wants your time and service is what that means and goes for all the celebrities and singers today in hollywood.

[@ddiamondr1]

This was my Dad’s favourite movie. As soon as the song BIG Rock Candy Mountain came on, he started singing along with it. He sang along with most of the songs. We watched this movie several times. And at his wake the soundtrack to this movie was playing. I love this movie too. Dapper Dan lol. Thanks for watching it!

[@Tampahop]

I wish my dad had been alive to see it. He was a big fan of Jimmie Rodgers who did "He's In the Jailhouse Now."

[@baileybrian9560]

yes my dad loved this movie! i play it for his ghost lol

[@deathproofpony]

One of my favorite movies. Fun fact: although Clooney practiced singing, the Coens decided to overdub him with bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski. Tim Blake Nelson, however, did his own vocals for "In the Jailhouse Now" and won a Grammy along with the other performers for Album of the Year.

[@johnjohn37371]

Tim Blake Nelson has sang in several movies...if you get the chance, Clooney reciting the story of how he "lost" the singing duties for the movie is hilarious...his aunt is, of course, famed and celebrated singer Rosemary Clooney who, incidentally was twice married to actor Jose Ferrer, making their son, famed actor Miguel Ferrer, George Clooney's cousin...anyway, there was a theory that because he was Rosemary's nephew, he'd be able to sing, as well...until he actually did...

[@trentzelazny7728]

I was an extra in the film Astronaut Farmer. Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar) was in it. I remember sitting for hours with no one giving me a glance. At some point, Tim came to me and asked if I was hungry. He also asked if I smoked, which I I did at the time. About 20 minutes later, he returned with a sandwich, a Coke, and a pack of Camels. He's an awesome guy.

[@Sledg0matic]

Props to Stephen Root for his turn as the radio station manager. He is truly a great, hard-working character and voice actor, from Jimmy James to Bill Dauterive, all the way back to the nameless DEA agent that gets roughed up by Crocodile Dundee.

[@reservoirdude92]

And of course Milton from Office Space and Fuches from the brilliant TV series, Barry ❤

[@rubbersole79]

And the irony of Pappy O'Daniel recognizing the power of "mass communication" while Homer Stokes just rolls on by the radio station like it wasn't even there because it didn't have a crowd in attendance. Nice.

[@triceyg2014]

Wasn't he also a vampire in "True Blood "?

[@koreanforrabbit]

Jimmy James: The man so nice they named him twice ❤

[@AuspexAO]

Don't forget Bill Dauterive from King of the Hill and Dwight Dixon in Pushing Daisies. Dude is a powerhouse actor.

You would not believe how addictive this soundtrack is after a while. I grew up in Chicago so I was never around music like this. When I joined the Marine Corps I got exposed to people from all over the country and world. A Marine buddy of mine use to play this soundtrack all the time and it just pissed everyone off. For some reason though the more I heard it, the more I really grew to appreciate it. There's something so simple and so pure about this era of music. The movie has a similar quality; it's a simple story with a pure message. I just love it. Great reaction as always y'all.

[@Scruffyman81]

I don't know why, but I think this movie should be watched in the middle of summer with no air conditioning.

[@danjohnson2986]

You chose a winner!! I’ll go to my grave saying that Clooney should have won an Oscar for this role. He just was perfect.

[@danburke2298]

One of my all time favorites films and soundtracks. So glad you all liked it.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Great movie. Great music. Dan Tyminski from Alison Krauss' band sang George Clooney's part. The 3 sirens singing go to sleep little baby were voiced by Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss and EmmyLou Harris. Lots of great musicians made cameos in the movie too. Gillian Welch was a customer in the record store. Dan Tyminski was playing mandolin in one of the music scenes. The man and 2 women who were performing on the outdoor stage were The Whites who are father and daughters (one of whom - Sharon - is married to Ricky Skaggs) are blue grass royalty. Super cast both on and off screen.

[@LibertineDeSade]

This is one of my favorite movies! I bought the soundtrack as soon as it came out, it is one of the best movie soundtracks ever. I'm so glad you guys watched it.

[@hypersleepdialogues8889]

This is a Cohen Brothers movie. They have made many amazing movies in their career. I think you guys have seen Big Lebowski already, but if you enjoyed this, it's a must that you also watch Fargo, Burn After Reading, No Country for Old Men, True Grit (the 2016 version), and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. All absolutely fantastic.

[@LetMeEatCake]

And they love to cast John Goodman. And Holly Hunter. I highly recommend Raising Arizona for those two actors and the Coen brothers.

[@supafly7145]

[@hypersleepdialogues8889]

@G_Bobina they love Frances McDormand too. I think she's married to one of them. You'll see a lot of the same actors in their movies.

[@Britcarjunkie]

And John Turturro: he was also in Lebowski, and Miller's Crossing.

[@hypersleepdialogues8889]

@@Britcarjunkie and Barton Fink

[@cshubs]

A large contributor to the music was Alison Krauss & Union Station. One of those players is Dan Tyminski, who is the one who sang the main song. If you don't know them, AKUS is a fantastic band. Alison has been using her angelic voice and fiddle to make a living since she was 14. All members of the band are world class.

[@jaykay3784]

She had a cameo in the movie as the girl asking if they had the record at the store while it was raining.

Im not a fan of Cloony but he hit this one out of the park. I grew up down south and it really feels like when I grew up with the chain gangs workin on the side of the road clearing ditches with the guards standing by with shotguns. While my family never had a ice box I do remeber the ice man coming around along with the milkman. Love y'alls reactions.

[@nettricegaskins1871]

I read The Odyssey in the 3rd or 4th grade, so I really appreciated the Cohen Bros' creative take on it. I also grew up a Southern Baptist in Kentucky, so the music and scenery brought back memories... "In old Kentucky. The place where I was born and raised."

[@hrussell9677]

Third or fourth? Wow-usually that isn’t read until junior or senior year in high school. The language is pretty sophisticated.

I can always tell a person’s sense of humor by this movie! My sons and I quote this film all the time! Great soundtrack and great movie. I still say Pete’s line of “ that don’t make no sense!” All the time! Also when they put Stokes on the rail, that was punishment from the 18th and 19th century and usually included tar and feathering then paraded around in a rail! Great reaction!

This movie is based on Homer’s Odyssey, which is a famous epic poem from ancient Greece about how Ulysses had a long journey home, it includes the soothsaying blind man at the beginning, the sirens who seduced them, and the cyclops who wanted to kill them, cyclops ahs one eye, which was big Dan

[@jrepka01]

The soundtrack, such a great part of this movie, was produced by T Bone Burnett and won Grammys for Best Movie Soundtrack and Best Album of 2002. Ironically it did this despite getting very little airplay on commercial radio, as by the early 2000s so many commercial stations across the country had been purchased by entertainment corporations that had strict formats and playlists. The O Brother soundtrack didn't fit well in any of the standard formats so the only public airplay it got was on college stations and public radio.

[@cykratzer3463]

I forgot that the soundtrack was produced by T-Bone Burnett

[@hectorsmommy1717]

I was born in the mid 50's so my early radio was 60's and 70's where most stations were locally owned, or part of a small regional chain. They played what the DJ's wanted and the genre changed over the course of the day (think WKRP in Cincinnati). Because of that, the Billboard Top 40 included all kinds of music: rock, pop, bubblegum, R&B, Motown, standards, country, etc. and you could call in your request which is how some songs became popular. The late 60's-mid 70's was the era of AOR (Album Oriented Rock) where stations would play the album versions of songs that were too long for regular radio (a few, like Bohemian Rhapsody at 6 minutes, snuck in) and bands that just were not Top 40 friendly like Pink Floyd. Late 70's into the 80's was when radio slowly became more and more corporate and each station had its own niche', which is why you can only find country on a country station, pop on pop, Classic Rock, etc. Growing up listening to all kinds of music because it was our only choice was actually good for us. I often fell asleep during the Classical music segment from 10pm-2am Saturday nights.

[@NuKnightRider]

Went to the fair Thursday and when stopping at the karaoke tent and a woman was singing the same song that was playing while they were eating the pie and stealing the car. The three women in the river represented the sirens of Greek mythology that lured sailors to their death And John Goodman’s character was the Cyclops.

[@angelagraves865]

Burn After Reading (2008) is another great Coen brothers movie also with George Clooney playing an idiot. It's one of their best, imo.

[@Eowyn187]

Oh that's SO good.

[@johnwray393]

Haven't seen that in forever. Really underrated movie. Never hear it spoke about much.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@johnwray393 Burn After Reading is one of the examples I use of the "inept victim" hypothesis I make with Coen Brothers movies. Basically, the criminals are not always fumbling, it's their intended targets that are.

[@abelaberdeen3757]

Great reaction as always. Paterfamilias is Latin for Head of The Household/Father of The Family. The Coen Brothers have a long list of films and you can't go wrong with any of them. 😉

He was also one of the 50(?) soldiers to survive the Malmedy Massacre that occurred during the Battle of the Bulge in December of 1944. German SS troops, having captured a unit of American soldiers, placed them in a snow covered field and machine gunned them. Some survived by playing dead. Many were killed.

It was such a joy watching this with you. You got the Coen Brothers' brand of humor, which is great! :)) If you enjoyed this movie (and music) from them, then you'll LOVE "The Ladykillers". The movie is set in the South and it's filled wall-to-wall with Gospel music. It has Tom Hanks in one of his funniest performances ever. And going toe-to-toe with Hanks is the most adorable black grandma (Irma P. Hall) you'll ever see in a movie. She's the 'lady' in "ladykillers' and she's a handful, lol!

Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." Johnson had a tremendous desire to become a great blues musician. One of the legends often told says that Johnson was instructed to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery Plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar and tuned it. The Devil played a few songs and then returned the guitar to Johnson, giving him mastery of the instrument. This story of a deal with the Devil at the crossroads mirrors the legend of Faust. In exchange for his soul, Johnson was able to create the blues for which he became famous.

"I don't get it Big Dan." is a quote we use all the time around the house... this movie is one of the absolute best...

I just want to say that I really like the use of the horizontal ghosted black bar to avoid copyright strikes - this is the best method I've seen on any reaction channel. 👍

What happened to Homer at the end during the Soggy performance is known as being “run out of town on a rail” and was a real thing, if made a bit more performative in this depiction of it 😂

[@sf0tacticalguy]

That ridding of Homer Stokes was done by riding him out of town on the rail. That was a common practice. They also used to tar and feather them before the rail showed up.

[@lisatilley8751]

The man who played Homer Stokes is Robert Duvall's cousin!

BJ "pater familias" means "father of the family" in Latin ("padre di famiglia" in Italian which is a neo-latin language like French, Spanish, Romanian)

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Good stuff. Thank you for the clarification. 💯

[@Divamarja_CA]

It’s where “paternal” also comes from!

That song won the Oscar for Best Song of the Year . It's such a great story !!

Watching this I could tell BJ grew up in the country, me too BJ. I grew up in the deep South working on a farm for part of my childhood and teenage years. I've lived in a Western state for the last 20 years, but this movie takes me back to my home state, even seeing those big fields full of tobacco and cotton. I love the music in this film, bought the soundtrack too.

[@gregorydicenzo6643]

Best classic of all time. The sound track thou..❤Glad you all finally got this one. Big fan.

[@gregorydicenzo6643]

We in a tight spot say it to this day y'all

[@Dr3amtime]

The soundtrack album for this movie is really pleasant. There's also a documentary of a live concert put together with all the groups that sang the songs.

Movie night got my popcorn ready

[@damedamsel3300]

this story is ancient its so cool....if you ever read The Odyssey, its based off that book. I had to read it twice, once for middle school and then again in College for my Philosophy class. I didn't connect this movie to the book until I seen the scene with the Sirens at the river. John Goodman plying the role of the cyclops was pretty awesome.

Back in the early 1900s they used the ice in the fridge. That's why it was called ice box

“I’m a dapper Dan man “ 😂

[@2doright647]

One thing to note is each adventure they went on is associated with a Mississippi tall tale , like the women in the water singing etc.

[@kevinslayzak1214]

John Goodman working them over squishing that frog n throwing it against the tree was probably the funniest thing I've seen in along time.... great movie y'all..🔥✌️
