Movie Review

O Brother Where Art Thou? Delectable nostalgic film: Toe tapping “can” song I am a Man song Journey without seeking the treasure Cows can’t swim, roofs measure Little people push brooms Fiancés deck grooms Politicians run out on a rail Some dance, with their tail Baby face throws Bi-polar Getaway car-high roller Sirens sing then whisk away Leaving toads behind that day Blind rail traveler foretells all But the rail car scene, Oh man- that fall! “Kin is kin”- “gopher Everett”? “Dapper Dan man”, with a hair net Some scenes I’d cut Not necessary they put But otherwise a great dime About three men “not” doing time I’ve seen it about 4 times, still singing the songs

Your words have a way: they do justice to a man in constant sorrow.

Oh man my favorite song is when Tommy's sitting by the tree during the nighttime fire scene. I think it's called 'Hard time Killing Floor Blues' or someting lke that. I felt like it stood out from the other more cheerful sounding songs though they were excellent as well. - interesting tribute:)

When you spoke of the politicians daincing "with their tails," I couldn't help but think of the movie "Wag the Dog." Very astute observation. Yet I know you were describing images from another movie. And there are a lot of scenes that could be cut from movies, leaving more to the imagination. Excellent writing with provocative imagery, Alexandra! Love, Carolyn
