O Brother, Where Art Thou?

O Brother, Where art Thou?

Simply an excellent movie!!! Coen Brothers are really getting into me now. After ‘Fargo’, ‘O Brother…’ is also tremendously entertaining. The different characters being introduced every time after small intervals are interesting enough to make us smile and laugh. The one eyed bible salesman, sexy ladies on the river bank, the blind black prophet, the radio guy, the governor, his opponent, George Baby face Nelson etc.; all are there to make the adventurous jail escaping journey of George Clooney and his partners, unforgettable and hilariously offbeat. Music couldn’t have been better for the movie.

Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Nelson are all aptly suitable for the lead characters. Their open wide-eyed innocence makes them the least likely bunch of criminals. While this film may not have a lot of substance, it sure is a pleasure to watch. Movie never becomes sentimental and never goes over the top. It’s clearly sublime winner humor. Picture has got amazing photography. The spell of simplicity takes over us as soon as the movie starts. All 103 minutes of this feel good flick are surely enjoyable. ‘O brother…’ is an absolute adventure packed with the best music, great humor and fabulous storytelling. It’s a must watch for all comedy lovers. It’s a treat to watch small time crooks becoming soggy bottom boys.
