The story behind Clooney singing is the real voice belongs to Dan Tyminski, lead male singer from Alison Krauss and Union Station. Dan went home to tell his wife that was going to be singing on a movie, but it was going to be his voice and George Cooney's face. His wife said "oh baby, that's my dream come true!!"

The women in the Odyssey are female archetypes used in many other settings: Penelope, the faithful wife, Circe, the temptress, turning men into animals, Nausicaa, the young naive, Calypso, the clasping lover, the sirens, the deadly traps.

I'm forever blown away by the fact that this movie, shot by the BRILLIANT Roger Deakins (look him up. not a single ugly film. guy's an actual genius), was one of the first big budget films to use completely digital color grading/correction. All that dustbowl-era yellow and beige was actually VERY green irl because production was in the south around spring and summer. So without completely tinting the whole film with one flat filter, they were able to make the bright green scenery look the way it does in the movie. Still looks seamless and beautiful. I adore this film and everything about it, even on a technical level.

And their day, them singing live on stage in beard and mustache, is their homage' to, ZZ TOP! Cuz they redid lots of old timey songs, into their guitar driven blues rock, music! 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 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!!

The album won the Album of the Year Award (only the second soundtrack to ever do so) and Single of the Year Award for "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" at the Country Music Association Awards.[18] It also won the Album of the Year Award at the 37th Academy of Country Music Awards and took home 2 International Bluegrass Music Awards: Album of the Year and Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year (for Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch on "I'll Fly Away").[19] In 2006, the album ranked No. 38 on CMT's 40 Greatest Albums in Country Music. In 2009, Rhapsody ranked it No. 8 on the "Country's Best Albums of the Decade" list.[20] Engine 145 Country Music Blog ranked it No. 5 on the "Country's Best Albums of the Decade" list.[21] In 2010, All Songs Considered, a program on NPR, included the soundtrack album on their list of "The Decade's 50 Most Important Recordings".[22] Some of the artists on the soundtrack album played a concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, which was recorded in the 2000 documentary film, Down from the Mountain. On August 23, 2011, a 10th anniversary edition was released featuring a bonus disc with 14 new tracks that were not included in the original album, all but two of which were previously unreleased songs from Burnett's original sessions.[23][24]

If you liked John Turturro in this movie and you liked last Friday's Marx Brother movie, you might also like Brain Donors, a more modern (sort of ) remake of A Night At The Opera.

Well, she likes John Turturro and John Goodman so she needs to watch Barton Fink, another Coen brothers movie.

If I remember correctly, the film didn't do great in theaters but I think it broke a record in video sells and Movie OST sells. I was just finishing up my last semester at college and everyone was listening to the soundtrack on their headphones via CD walkmens. My friend Vanessa who had a purple mohawk, too many face piercings and a tribal tat on her neck (looked like she was going to a Sex Pistol's concert) was constantly blasting "Man of Constant Sorrow" out of her car. That alone is a testament of how popular the soundtrack was.

If you like Holly Hunter, and you like the cranky sassiness of Pappy O'Daniel, and if you also you like Robert Downey Jr. you gotta watch Home For The Holidays. Mid 90s movie about a dysfunctional family at Thanksgiving.

No its not Clooney singing. His name is Dan Tymenski and he is also the Guitarist. He along with Jerry Douglas, Rom Block, and Barry Bales are the real Soggy Bottom Boyz, but in the movie they are the vocals for Clooney,and the others. They are also the little band you see playing on a couple scenes including the big scene on stage. By the way they also make up the band Union Station who back Allison Krause of Bluegrass and Country Fame. She is singing in the song Down to the River to Pray. One more truly famous voice in this movie is the man who sang for the creepy jerk running the KKK. The song Oh Death was sung by the Legendary Dr Ralph Stanley who by the way, also along with his Brother Carter Recorded the Original Man of Constant Sorrow in the 50's. Lots and lots of musical talent in this movie. You did a great job reacting.

Whether Clooney can sing or not, he's nephew to the legendary Rosemary Clooney, one of America's great singers. She was in White Christmas with Bing Crosby (who she also recorded with).

Swell reaction. Its a strong film, unique and artistic. Actors crushed it. The director set an amazing theme and a lot of effort was put into the audio quality. Here are 3 films you might look at: #1 Alive #2 The Devil's Advocate #3 Eddie Murphy Raw

Fun reaction! I wore out this soundtrack in my car back in the 90's. Great movie! It was originally planned that George would sing his music parts. However, when they shot the first scene, it was shocking to everyone how bad he was. After all, Rosemary Clooney was his aunt, and everyone assumed he would inherit some of her skill. But, no. I'm super excited you are doing Arsenic and Old Lace. It's an absolute classic!

Fun fact, the first time I seen this was in 8th grade, the teacher picked it out for us and we all loved it.

Yup, Big Dan r-u-n-n-o-f-t with their money.... BTW, if you ever read The Odyssey (or even about it on Wikipedia), you'll see the (loose) parallels -- the blind 'seer' on the handcart, a stand in for The Odyssey's author Homer (who was thought to be blind), Big Dan for the one-eyed Cyclops, the 3 Sirens for the Sirens of legend who lured sailors to their death, Penny (Holly Hunter) for Ulysses' wife Penelope (who was evaluating suitors, thinking her husband dead). Glad you loved it! The film's soundtrack was released as an album and won 5 grammy's. The only singer to sing some of his parts was Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar).

I've actually met people who don't like this movie: Canadians! I'm from central Virginia but I lived briefly in Alberta when this movie was fairly new. Lots of people there said they didn't like it because they thought the characters were unrealistic and I'm like, friends, I'm related to some of those characters!

I think it's really fun if you try to see which scenes are based on the Greek Odyssey; if you look you can spot a soothsayer, a cyclops, sirens, among others. There also was an amazing concert from all the musicians that contributed to the movie called "Down from the Mountain" with Patty Loveless, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, the fairfield four, Chris Thomas King and bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley. It's utterly fantastic!

"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" is a very stylized retelling of "The Odyssey" by Homer. Its one of the most well-known stories in classic literature, not that you'd know that because you don't read.

24:45 - As explained earlier, the entire reason for the timing of their prison break was that the TVA had built a new dam in their area and George Clooney's home was built in the valley that was going to be flooded when the dam went online. He had to get his valuables out of the house before it was sunk like Atlantis.
