Production [edit]

The idea of O Brother, Where Fine art 1000? arose spontaneously. Piece of work on the script began in December 1997, long before the beginning of product, and was at least half-written by May 1998. Despite the fact that Ethan Coen described the Odyssey as "one of my favorite storyline schemes", neither of the brothers had read the epic, and they were simply familiar with its content through adaptations and numerous references to the Odyssey in popular culture.^[21] Co-ordinate to the brothers, Tim Blake Nelson (who has a degree in classics from Brownish University)^{[22] [23]} was the just person on the set who had read the Odyssey.^[24]

The title of the moving picture is a reference to the 1941 Preston Sturges film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist (a director) wants to direct a motion picture nearly the Great Depression chosen O Brother, Where Art Grand? ^[eleven] that will be a "commentary on modern conditions, stark realism, and the problems that face up the average man". Lacking any experience in this area, the director sets out on a journey to feel the human being suffering of the average human being only is sabotaged by his broken-hearted studio. The film has some similarity in tone to Sturges's pic, including scenes with prison gangs and a black church choir. The prisoners at the picture evidence scene is likewise a direct homage to a nearly identical scene in Sturges's motion picture.^[25]

Joel Coen revealed in a 2000 interview that he traveled to Phoenix to offer the lead function to Clooney. Clooney agreed to do the role immediately, without reading the script. He stated that he liked fifty-fifty the Coens' least successful films.^[26] Clooney did not immediately sympathise his character and sent the script to his uncle Jack, who lived in Kentucky, request 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 afterwards the directors pointed this out to him during shooting.^[27]

This was the fourth movie of the brothers in which John Turturro has starred. Other actors in O Brother, Where Art One thousand? who had worked previously with the Coens include John Goodman (3 films), Holly Hunter (two), Charles Durning (two) and Michael Badalucco (one).

The Coens used digital color correction to give the film a sepia-tinted wait.^[13] Joel stated this was considering the actual fix was "greener than Ireland".^[27] Cinematographer Roger Deakins stated, "Ethan and Joel favored a dry, dusty Delta wait with golden sunsets. They wanted it to await like an old hand-tinted picture, with the intensity of colors dictated by the scene and natural skin tones that were all shades of the rainbow."^[28] Initially the crew tried to perform the color correction using a concrete process, even so after several tries with various chemic processes proved unsatisfactory, it became necessary to perform the process digitally.^[27]

This was the 5th film collaboration betwixt the Coen Brothers and Deakins, and information technology was slated to be shot in Mississippi at a time of year when the foliage, grass, trees, and bushes would be a lush light-green.^[28] It was filmed nearly locations in Canton, Mississippi, and Florence, South Carolina, in the summertime of 1999.^[29] Afterwards shooting tests, including motion picture bipack and bleach bypass techniques, Deakins suggested digital mastering exist used.^[28] Deakins spent xi weeks fine-tuning the await, mainly targeting the greens, making them a burnt yellow and desaturating the overall paradigm in the digital files.^[13] This made it the starting time feature film to exist entirely color corrected past digital means, narrowly chirapsia Nick Park'due south Chicken Run.^[xiii]

O Brother, Where Art Thou? was the starting time fourth dimension a digital intermediate was used on the entirety of a starting time-run Hollywood moving-picture show that otherwise had very few visual furnishings. The work was washed in Los Angeles by Cinesite using a Spirit DataCine for scanning at 2K resolution, a Pandora MegaDef to conform the color, and a Kodak Lightning Ii recorder to put out to pic.^[thirty]

A major theme of the moving-picture show is the connection between old-fourth dimension music and political candidature in the Southern U.S. It makes reference to the traditions, institutions, and entrada practices of bossism and political reform that defined Southern politics in the first one-half of the 20th century.

The Ku Klux Klan, at the time a political strength of white populism, is depicted called-for crosses and engaging in ceremonial dance. The character Menelaus "Pappy" O'Daniel, the governor of Mississippi and host of the radio show The Flour Hour, is similar in proper name and demeanor to Due west. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel,^[31] 1-time Governor of Texas and later U.Due south. Senator from that state.^[32] O'Daniel was in the flour business organization, and used a backing band called the Light Crust Doughboys on his radio show.^[33] In ane campaign, O'Daniel carried a broom, an ofttimes-used campaign device in the reform era, promising to sweep away patronage and corruption.^[34] His theme song had the claw, "Please pass the biscuits, Pappy", emphasizing his connection with flour.^[33]

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

Music [edit]

Music was originally conceived as a major component of the film, not but as a groundwork or a support. Producer and musician T Bone Burnett worked with the Coens while the script was all the same 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 option also includes religious music, including Primitive Baptist and traditional African American gospel, most notably the Fairfield Four, an a cappella quartet with a career extending back to 1921 who announced in the soundtrack and equally gravediggers towards the film's end. Selected songs in the movie reflect the possible spectrum of musical styles typical of the onetime culture of the American South: gospel, delta blues, land, swing and bluegrass.^{[24] [37]}

The apply of dirges and other macabre songs is a theme that often recurs in Appalachian music^[38] ("O Decease", "Lonesome Valley", "Angel Band", "I Am Weary") in contrast to bright, cheerful songs ("Keep On the Sunny Side", "In the Highways") in other parts of the film.

The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (pb song on "Human being of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band'southward Pat Enright.^[39] The 3 won a CMA Accolade for Single of the Year^[39] and a Grammy Accolade for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals, both for the song "Human of Constant Sorrow".^[xiv] Tim Blake Nelson sang the atomic number 82 song on "In the Jailhouse Now".^[xi]

"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 being sung back-to-back, and the other three variations feature additional music between each verse.^[xl] Though the song received little significant 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 picture is performed not by Krauss and Welch (as information technology is on the CD and concert bout), but by the Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling accompanying on long-cervix five-string banjo, recorded in 1956 for the album Bowling Green on Tradition Records.^[42]

Release [edit]

The film premiered at the AFI Picture show Festival on October 19, 2000, and the United States on December 22, 2000.^[2] It grossed $71,868,327 worldwide off its $26 1000000 budget.^{[7] [9]}

Disquisitional reception [edit]

Review assemblage website Rotten Tomatoes gives information technology a score of 78% based on 154 reviews and an average score of 7.12/ten. The consensus reads: "Though not as expert every bit Coen brothers' classics such as Blood Unproblematic, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art One thousand? is nonetheless a lot of fun."^[43] The film holds an boilerplate score of 69/100 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews.^[44]

Roger Ebert gave two and a half out of four stars to the film, maxim all the scenes in the moving picture were "wonderful in their different ways, and yet I left the pic uncertain and unsatisfied".^[45]

Soggy Lesser Boys [edit]

The Soggy Lesser Boys are the fictional musical group that the primary characters form to serve as accompaniment for the motion picture. It has been suggested that the name is in homage to the Foggy Mountain Boys, a bluegrass band led by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.^[49] In the flick, 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'south hit single is Dick Burnett's "Human being of Abiding Sorrow", a song that had enjoyed much success prior to the movie'due south release.^[50] After the moving-picture show's release, the fictitious band became so popular that the state 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.
