O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
A mixed bag
I can see why this film causes such a variety of reviews. As an interpretaion of The Odyssey it helps to have read the story. It really is not an interpretaion so much as a loose following, events are based on the epic poem. There are numerous factual errors and mistakes that have to be intenitonal. The music is an aquired taste but it helps develope the overal tone of the piece. Living in the South, most of the jokes are very funny, but I am not sure how some of them carry across the nation/world. As a piece of light entertainment, it was decent. As an interpretation of a classic work, it stunk.

What can I say?
I just can't get enough of this show. Saw it in syndication and it just blew me away. It does a good job creating the illusion of the war with the bugs. The music is what first grabbed by attention, and the excelent writing kept me there. Decent visuals with plot situations that did not seemed to be contrived. Good serises for kids, but also enjoyable by adults. Any chance the last few episodes will be made?
