O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

O Brother, Where Art Thou? directed by Joel Coen. IMDb describes it as a comedy, adventure, and crime. It has lot of twists and turns and with Coen brothers one can expect a nontraditional ending.

The movie unfolds as a melody with lots of country music and surprises at every turn. The movie will bring smile on your face, the song will lighten your heart and soul...

The movie is inspired from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", it is set in South America and it is 1930's. A time when the electricity is still catching up, radio is the sensation... our heroes George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson are escaped convicts on the search for a hidden treasure.

Here is how the movie unfolds... the movie opens with prisoners singing and breaking rocks, after a while we see our three hero escaping through the farm. The movie shows their escape and their adventures and misadventures.. relentlessly pursued by a lawman. On their way they meet a man (Tommy Johnson) who sold his soul to the devil so that he can play guitar like nobody else.. they keep bumping into all sorts of characters... the movie is full of funny events, surprises, adventure, friendship, love, lies, and songs.. oh by the way our heroes get popular for signing a song that becomes a hit... and fortunately/unfortunately they are unaware of their own popularity... until much later into the movie.

If you are aware of Coen brothers you are assured it is worth a watch. Don't know how they can keep churning great movies like this.

The ending is really surprising, but the clues are in plain sight throughout the movie ;)
