Production [edit]

The idea of O Brother, Where Fine art Thou? arose spontaneously. Piece of work on the script began in December 1997, long before the offset of production, and was at to the lowest degree half-written by May 1998. Despite the fact that Ethan Coen described the Odyssey as "ane of my favorite storyline schemes", neither of the brothers had read the epic, and they were merely familiar with its content through adaptations and numerous references to the Odyssey in popular culture.[21] According to the brothers, Tim Blake Nelson (who has a degree in classics from Brown University)[22] [23] was the only person on the fix who had read the Odyssey.[24]

The title of the moving-picture show is a reference to the 1941 Preston Sturges film Sullivan'south Travels, in which the protagonist (a director) wants to direct a film about the Dandy Depression called O Blood brother, Where Art Grand? [11] that will be a "commentary on modern weather condition, stark realism, and the problems that face the boilerplate homo". Defective any experience in this area, the manager sets out on a journeying to experience the human suffering of the boilerplate man but is sabotaged by his anxious studio. The moving-picture show has some similarity in tone to Sturges'south picture show, including scenes with prison gangs and a black church building choir. The prisoners at the picture bear witness scene is also a direct homage to a nearly identical scene in Sturges's film.[25]

Joel Coen revealed in a 2000 interview that he traveled to Phoenix to offer the pb role to Clooney. Clooney agreed to do the role immediately, without reading the script. He stated that he liked even the Coens' to the lowest degree successful films.[26] Clooney did not immediately understand his grapheme and sent the script to his uncle Jack, who lived in Kentucky, asking him to read the entire script into a tape recorder.[27] Unknown to Clooney, in his recording, Jack, a devout Baptist, omitted all instances of the words "damn" and "hell" from the Coens' script, which only became known to Clooney after the directors pointed this out to him during shooting.[27]

This was the fourth motion-picture show of the brothers in which John Turturro has starred. Other actors in O Brother, Where Art Chiliad? who had worked previously with the Coens include John Goodman (iii films), Holly Hunter (ii), Charles Durning (two) and Michael Badalucco (1).

The Coens used digital color correction to requite the film a sepia-tinted look.[13] Joel stated this was because the actual set was "greener than Ireland".[27] Cinematographer Roger Deakins stated, "Ethan and Joel favored a dry, dusty Delta expect with golden sunsets. They wanted it to wait like an old mitt-tinted moving-picture show, with the intensity of colors dictated by the scene and natural skin tones that were all shades of the rainbow."[28] Initially the coiffure tried to perform the color correction using a concrete procedure, still after several tries with various chemic processes proved unsatisfactory, it became necessary to perform the procedure digitally.[27]

This was the 5th picture show collaboration betwixt the Coen Brothers and Deakins, and it was slated to be shot in Mississippi at a time of year when the foliage, grass, copse, and bushes would be a lush green.[28] It was filmed nigh locations in Canton, Mississippi, and Florence, S Carolina, in the summer of 1999.[29] Later shooting tests, including motion picture bipack and bleach bypass techniques, Deakins suggested digital mastering be used.[28] Deakins spent eleven weeks fine-tuning the expect, mainly targeting the greens, making them a burnt yellow and desaturating the overall prototype in the digital files.[xiii] This made information technology the offset feature film to be entirely color corrected past digital means, narrowly beating Nick Park'south Chicken Run.[13]

O Brother, Where Art Chiliad? was the first time a digital intermediate was used on the entirety of a first-run Hollywood film that otherwise had very few visual effects. The work was done in Los Angeles by Cinesite using a Spirit DataCine for scanning at 2K resolution, a Pandora MegaDef to adjust the color, and a Kodak Lightning II recorder to put out to film.[thirty]

A major theme of the film is the connection betwixt old-time music and political campaigning in the Southern U.S. It makes reference to the traditions, institutions, and campaign practices of bossism and political reform that defined Southern politics in the first half of the 20th century.

The Ku Klux Klan, at the time a political forcefulness of white populism, is depicted burning crosses and engaging in formalism trip the light fantastic. The grapheme Menelaus "Pappy" O'Daniel, the governor of Mississippi and host of the radio show The Flour Hr, is like in name and demeanor to Westward. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel,[31] one-time Governor of Texas and later U.S. Senator from that state.[32] O'Daniel was in the flour business organization, and used a backing band called the Light Chaff Doughboys on his radio show.[33] In 1 campaign, O'Daniel carried a broom, an oft-used entrada device in the reform era, promising to sweep abroad patronage and corruption.[34] His theme song had the hook, "Please pass the biscuits, Pappy", emphasizing his connexion with flour.[33]

While the motion picture borrows from historical politics, differences are obvious between the characters in the film and historical political figures. The O'Daniel of the motion picture used "You Are My Sunshine" every bit his theme song (which was originally recorded by vocalizer and Governor of Louisiana James Houston "Jimmie" Davis[35]), and Homer Stokes, as the challenger to the incumbent O'Daniel, portrays himself every bit the "reform candidate", using a broom every bit a prop.

Music [edit]

Music was originally conceived as a major component of the film, not merely as a background or a support. Producer and musician T Bone Burnett worked with the Coens while the script was nonetheless in its working phases and the soundtrack was recorded before filming commenced.[36]

Much of the music used in the film is period-specific folk music.[12] The musical choice too includes religious music, including Primitive Baptist and traditional African American gospel, virtually notably the Fairfield Four, an a cappella quartet with a career extending back to 1921 who appear in the soundtrack and every bit gravediggers towards the film'due south end. Selected songs in the movie reverberate the possible spectrum of musical styles typical of the onetime civilisation of the American South: gospel, delta blues, country, swing and bluegrass.[24] [37]

The utilise of dirges and other macabre songs is a theme that often recurs in Appalachian music[38] ("O Death", "Lonesome Valley", "Affections Ring", "I Am Weary") in contrast to bright, cheerful songs ("Keep On the Sunny Side", "In the Highways") in other parts of the motion-picture show.

The voices of the Soggy Lesser Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "Man of Abiding Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band's Pat Enright.[39] The three won a CMA Laurels for Single of the Year[39] and a Grammy Honor for Best Land Collaboration with Vocals, both for the vocal "Man of Constant Sorrow".[14] Tim Blake Nelson sang the lead song on "In the Jailhouse Now".[11]

"Man of Constant Sorrow" has 5 variations: two are used in the film, ane in the music video, and two in the soundtrack anthology. 2 of the variations feature the verses beingness sung back-to-back, and the other three variations feature additional music between each verse.[40] Though the song received petty pregnant radio airplay, it reached #35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2002.[36] [41] The version of "I'll Fly Away" heard in the moving-picture show is performed non past Krauss and Welch (as information technology is on the CD and concert tour), but past the Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling accompanying on long-neck five-string banjo, recorded in 1956 for the album Bowling Green on Tradition Records.[42]

The motion-picture show premiered at the AFI Film Festival on October xix, 2000, and the United States on December 22, 2000.[ii] Information technology grossed $71,868,327 worldwide off its $26 million budget.[7] [9]

Critical reception [edit]

Review assemblage website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a score of 78% based on 154 reviews and an average score of 7.12/ten. The consensus reads: "Though non every bit good as Coen brothers' classics such as Claret Simple, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art One thousand? is still a lot of fun."[43] The picture show holds an average score of 69/100 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews.[44]

Roger Ebert gave ii and a half out of 4 stars to the film, proverb all the scenes in the picture were "wonderful in their different ways, and however I left the movie uncertain and unsatisfied".[45]

Soggy Lesser Boys [edit]

The Soggy Bottom Boys are the fictional musical group that the main characters form to serve as accompaniment for the film. It has been suggested that the proper name is in homage to the Foggy Mountain Boys, a bluegrass band led by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.[49] In the film, the songs credited to the band are lip-synched by the actors, except that Tim Blake Nelson does sing his own vocals on "In the Jailhouse Now".

The band's striking unmarried is Dick Burnett's "Man of Constant Sorrow", a song that had enjoyed much success prior to the movie'due south release.[50] After the pic'southward release, the fictitious band became so popular that the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film got together and performed the music from the film in a Down from the Mountain concert tour, which was filmed for TV and DVD.[12] This included Ralph Stanley, John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Sharp, Stun Seymour, Dan Tyminski and others.
