Just listening ot the soundtrack for the first time in quite some time, and wanted to share that there is one song "As I went down by the river to pray" that is just CREEPY. I keep getting images of the related scene in the movie, and for some reason it just creeps me the heck out.
Its not creepy. It makes me cry. Its the one song on the CD I can't listen in the car to or I'll go off the road.
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

Most pop music has this effect on me

There are about 4 songs on that CD that give my goosebumps the creep me out so. That's one of them. The one where they are talking to the baby is another.
That CD just seems like it is darkness thinly veiled in light.
I never heard O Come Angel Band before that movie, and I still sing it on occasion.

The music is VERY moving, I find it hard to get out of my head after having listened. The movie was just dull. It tried to develop some but it just never GOT there. Was an interesting departure in character type for George Clooney, however.
I just ordered the film from Play a few days ago, it got to the point that everytime Sky Classics had it on, I'd be watching it. So I thought might as well have the dvd.
The music is quite amazing though, I have been trying to locate music of a similar vein for a while, but as yet I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

I thought the movie portrayed southern Americans as stereotypes as is so often the case. I grew up listening to that genre of music so it didn't really have any effect upon me.

The music is good but I fell asleep 3 times in the theater which I have never done except for this film.
And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......

I’m having a hard time trying to explain this. The best I can come up with is ‘Yes they’re stereotypes but it’s different when the Coen Bros do it’.
In a lot of their movies the Coen Bros will play with genre, subvert it into something else. For instance, The Big Lebowski is film noir, but instead of having a grizzled detective as the lead you’ve got a stoner loser and hilarity ensues. With Oh Brother, the Coens took the Odyssey, mashed in some biblical allegories and set it in a stereotypical deep south.
So yeah, they’re using stereotypes, but they’re doing it with a wink and a nod. Or something.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
