Year: 2000
Director: Joel Coen
Plot: The writing, directing, and producing team of Joel Coen and Ethan Coen created this picaresque comedy (inspired in part by Homer's The Odyssey) set in the Deep South during the Depression. Suave and fancy-talking Everett Ulysses McGill (George Clooney), dim-witted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson), and easily-excitable Pete (John Turturro) are serving time together on a prison chain gang. Everett knows where $1.2 million is hidden that's theirs for the taking, and the three manage to escape; however, a stranger soon warns them that they'll find treasure, but not the sort they're looking for. As Everett and his partners hit the road, they happen upon a gluttonous bible salesman, Big Dan Teague (John Goodman); meet up with Baby Face Nelson (Michael Badalucco) as he robs a bank; encounter three Sirens doing their washing; run into Everett's estranged wife Penny (Holly Hunter), who has told everyone her husband was killed in a train wreck; find themselves in the middle of a heated campaign between political boss Pappy O'Daniel (Charles Durning), and reformist candidate Homer Stokes (Wayne Duvall); and even find time to make a hit record as The Soggy Bottom Boys. Noted songwriter T-Bone Burnett helped compile the songs (combining vintage country blues tunes with originals in the same style), while Carter Burwell composed the background score. Incidentally, the title O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a reference to the classic Preston Sturges comedy Sullivan's Travels, in which a director plans to make a serious "message picture" with that name. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: [quote user="Risselada"] I love the "music video" montage in The Naked Gun to the song "I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits. I always picture it when I hear the song. Jim Jarmusch films were my introduction to Tom Waits music. Love the songs from Rain Dogs on Down by Law. The Coen brothers O, Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack was all individual songs, mostly new recordsings of old favorites, but some classic archives too. The thing won a Grammy for Best Album of the Year! Not that I take much stock in Grammys, but I love the songs and the film because the songs are so critical to the film. And their soundtrack for The Big Lebowski is just as great! From the front and center of Kenny Rogers' "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" to the Creedence Clearwater Revival Permiating the film, to the little songs you catch in the background like "I Hate You" by the Monks playing over bowling lanes speakers in one of the bowling scenes. The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas soundtrack is just perfect too. I would name every song and what's happening in the film when it comes on, but that would take too long. This is maybe my favorite altogether soundtrack feature individual songs. Many of the songs, like a lot of the best ones used in movies like this are diagetic too, making them so important to the actual story. And I think I heard Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" enough for a lifetime after just seeing Groundhog Day once. The same is true for "California Dreaming" by The Mamas and the Papas in Chungking Express. Although I was just sick of that movie altogether. [/quote] I was going to mention Down by Law because it's so perfect in that movie, with the pseudo-beatnik vibe emanating through that entire movie. I loved it. Nice inclusion of the Coens too--I was planning on mentioning the complete lack of music in No Country because it's a bad habit I have. I agree with you with Chungking--it was a little much. Overall I liked the movie though. The scene where the girl strips in David Lynch's Lost Highway to Marilyn Manson's "I Put a Spell on You" is probably the greatest melding of music and film I've ever seen. It's so perfect. The Doors' "The End" is INCREDIBLE in Apocalypse Now. It's used twice, both times to bone-chilling effect. And what about memorable music in trailers? "Grounds for Divorce" gave me chills in the Burn After Reading trailer. "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" was used well in the Watchmen trailer, making the movie seem way more awesome than it turned out to be (although I thought it was awesome). Is Where the Wild Things are doomed to the same fate with the outstanding use of "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire? I sure as shit hope not.

Wait, scratch that last statement about Fear and Loathing being my favorite soundtrack. I think I'm going to have to replace it with Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy. Magnolia has a bittersweet little singalong to an Aimee Mann song. Simple Men has a pretty spontaneous dance sequence to what I think is a Sonic Youth song, but I don't know the name. I think anyone who has seen Beetle Juice would think of the movie at least once any time they hear the song O Day Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte. And I think I heard Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" enough for a lifetime after just seeing Groundhog Day once. The same is true for "California Dreaming" by The Mamas and the Papas in Chungking Express. Although I was just sick of that movie altogether. I almost wanted to name the amazing musical moments in Tsai Ming-liang's The Hole, but I think then I am getting a little to close to the Musical genre, which is kind of different from what we are discussing here.

Body: If you are interested in cinematography, great cinematography, and great cinematographers, Cinematographer Style would probably be both a highly interesting and highly frustrating experience. Keep reading to find out why! First of all, as an irrelevant piece of information (you can skip this paragraph if you just want to hear about the movie itself) I first heard about this movie from one of my former roommates. He was quite a young guy that I found on craig's list who was studying cinematography at Columbia College in Chicago. He mentioned that he knew a guy who was working on this production, and I think he may have even visited the set one day they were filming one of the cinematographers in the film. Anyways he made the whole thing sound very exciting and epic. A couple months later, after never moving anything else into the apartment except for a few articles of clothing and his guitar and sleeping on our couch until 2 PM every day, and after failing to pay any rent, he showed up in the middle of the night bloody and beat up after going back to a mafia owned bar that he had recently been fired from. After that he never really showed up again. Just one of a series of interesting roommate stories I had at that apartment. But again, that's all irrelevant. Anyways, the structure of the movie Cinematographer Style is a montage of interviews with many famous cinematographers. And when I say many I mean one hundred and ten! This is actually not a number that you should be excited about, although the filmmakers don't seem to realize. With a running time of 86 minutes, this means that on average each person gets an average of fifty seconds of speaking time. Of course in actuality the more famous and respected cinematographers get more speaking time, but when you look at the special features and realize that at least for Vittorio Storaro and Gordon Willis that the filmmakers got at least close to an hour of quite interesting footage you wonder why they felt the need to pack so many people into this movie. And the first five minutes of the movie are just all of the 110 cinematographers in the movie reciting their name (for some of them this is probably about a fourth of the time they'll even get on screen, so why bother?). And at the end of the movie there is actually a piece of text stating something to the effect that due to scheduling there were many cinematographers they wanted in the movie that they couldn't get, and they suggest that maybe there should be a sequel! What's the point of stuffing more people in there if that just means that everyone else gets less time to talk? The reason I'm frustrated by this is because many of the people clearly have very interesting things to say, but they cut back and forth between people that we don't really get any sense of these people individually or their fully story. Again, you can watch the specials features to hear Vittorio and Gordon speak longer, but you lose that chance with a lot of other people in the film. One other frustration is that, although you know these people have done some amazing work and they are making a lot of specific comments about their work, you never seen a single shot from any of their movies. Maybe the filmmakers couldn't get the rights to show segments from these movies. Or maybe they thought it wouldn't be fair to select which movies to show and which not to. Either way, it's hard to hear these people talking about their artwork which is in the same medium in which their interview is being shown to you, and yet you don't get to see any examples of it. A lot of the cinematographers come to the same conclusions, and in the special features you can hear the director kind of prompt the interviewee to say certain things such as "the idea is more important than the tool or technique." But to hear each artists approach to this conclusion is what's interesting, not hearing a 110 headed monster coming to one single conclusion. So in conclusion if you are are interested in cinematography at all you should watch this movie, but you may be frustrated by the quantity of interviews over the chance to really focus on any one person and the lack of examples of their work. Spout usually asks us to include recommendations for other movies if you like the one that is being reviewed. In this case, I would recommend some of the movies that these great cinematographers actually worked on: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Roger Deakins), Memento (Wally Pfister), Apocalypse Now (Vittorio Storaro), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Haskell Wexler), The Godfather Part II (Gordon Willis) Rating: 7/10

Body: [quote user="Risselada"] Burn After Reading. I just saw it last night. Another Coen brothers success in my opinion. Maybe it won't reach the comedy cult status of The Big Lebowski or O Brother, Where Art Thou? But it should appease those who were disappointed with the recent Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers (both of which I however loved greatly). Who here has seen it? What did you think? POSSIBLE SPOILERS It has all the expected elements of the Coen brothers. Stupid people getting in over their heads. Ransom (or more like blackmail) / Kidnapping (or suspected kidnapping). Quirky people. Shocking violence bundled close with humor. Anyone have a favorite moment? Mine might have been when George Clooney's character catches the guy from the law firm that his wife hired to follow him. [/quote]
