o brother where art thou really is the movie of all time, it makes zero sense, it makes perfect sense if you know it's based on the odyssey, it makes zero sense if you're familiar with the odyssey, the plot is so weird and contrived, the plot makes perfect sense and the conclusion is set up perfectly from the beginning, there's a prophecy, the prophecy doesn’t make any sense until the end, good music 👍, iliad whomst

Goddammit, goddammit, goddammit all to hell.
In the Odyssey the crew escapes Polyphemus by hiding under sheep.
In O Brother, Where Art Thou the main characters escape Big Dan while dressed as klansmen.
How did it take me this long to realize—

I know that the Coen Brothers were not actually basing very much in O Brother Where Art Thou on the actual text prose of The Odyssey, but I do like "man of constant sorrow" as yet another option in the ongoing "how do you translate polytropos?" conversation.

When Lucifer cups Sam's face so gently and Sam's horrified expression shifts slightly and he's just standing there staring forward and then he's trying to convince Dean he needs to go see Lucifer and he's like. Lucifer TOUCHED me. And I felt CALM. And he says it. through his disgust. I feel literally sick to my stomach.
