The movie and the sound track have entertained our family several times. There is a big lesson in the story!

"The devil is in the details!" I am amazed at all the tiny, seemingly insignificant details fit together. But it needed to be pointed out to me. This "Moral of the Story" guy does an amazing job. Absolutely Amazing!

Thanks James! I am honored you liked it.

This movie is and always will be my favorite film. Even though I am an Athiest today and live far from home. Everytime I watch this movie, a tear comes to my eye, remembering my papa and mama in their little brick house built in the side of the Virginia Appalachian mountains, with 3 horses in the barn, a tractor in the yard, and every morning waking up to a tall glass of chocolate milk and 2 of Mama's scratch made buttermilk biscuits with butter and honey. Papa and I would hop on the tractor and drive down a little path past Ol Kelly's cabin, and we'd follow the stream down to see the waterfalls hidden deep in the mountains. I think about that a lot. because while I am an athiest today, Ive never been closer to heaven then those memories. Ive not been back there since they passed about 15 years ago. something tells me that little slice of life will be apart of me forever

Prayed for you. If you do not have the eyes to see God, you must surely see the evidence of Satan, Just look around you. It is scintillating (for me) to see, as day after day I see prophecy fulfilling (Romans 1, or the brief Book of Jude is like today's newspaper). My comfort is knowing that my home is of another; that of an Heavenly. This corruption that we are witnessing today MUST be fulfilled, in order to bring about the incorruptible. I admire your courage to profess your atheism. I pray that you will gain the courage to profess your faith. God be with you.

I love this movie. It's one of my all time favorites.

You forgot the time Tommy saw the devil the night after recording Man of Constant Sorrow and was so scared he ran of by himself.

Thank you. Years ago I took an assignment in Algeria teaching English. We were locked in a hotel and I remember watching this movie nearly every week to pass the time. It always struck me. Your analysis has brought out a finer understanding. Looking forward to your next in depth analysis of films and am thankful you take the time to illuminate the more subtle principles in these stories.

We'll all see you again, in the great by and by! Time enough to watch everyone's loving work in every crowd and audience, in private and alone, all with a loving hand on our shoulder.

This review is bona fide!

So great to see this and I completely agree. Real miracles happen in our life, when we are connected to God. Blessings or curses, our choice.

Fantastic analysis as always

Are used to go visit my great aunt out in the deep country of North Florida which exist believe it or not, and she had this video on VHS and a few others and no cable so over my whole life growing up I always watched this video every year spending time with her and it became one of my favorite movies of all time I’ve revisited as an adult, and was completely in shock of how deep the story of this movie is I really enjoy this guys ability to summarize and convey the movie in a understandable way great video

Nice extrapolation of this movie. I did not get all those inferences when I first saw it. Nice job! These types of deep meanings and morals of stories is why the original Twilight Zone is so phenomenal in television history.

Great that you covered Tommy's story. Thanks.

Well done. Thank you.

"Man, in his pride, created God in his image and likeness" (Friedrich Nietzsche) "The Devil is just a nickname that God uses to do morally questionable things." (Herman Hesse) So there is no one and nothing to forgive, except the protagonists themselves making peace with their pasts and amending their presents through a mystic journey..Christian symbology is just how those experiences are coded by people raised and educated in a traditional North American environment. For those of us born and raised in secular countries, the Christian symbology used in Oh Brother Where Are Thow looks as fantastic and outlandish as the Greek symbology used by Homer in The Odissey looks for Christians.

one of my favorites movies. The song " a constant sorrow" is amazing. Great Video!

Love this and your main analysis of the film, great stuff, learned some new bits from you other analysts haven't pointed out! :D

Speaking of Abstract Inversion, you should watch One False Move then follow with Fargo. One False Move also contains a foretell variant of Anton Sigur's 'shoe check' at the end of No Country for Old Men when an early story murder scene involves an on-scene forensics agent that prompts an entering Detective to be careful where he steps. All movies are Spell-Casting rituals that perform the sole function of sedating the masses who partake

The crossroads devil is derived from the crossroads god in voodoo and West African paganism, Papa Legba/Elegua/Eshu. Like Hermes he is a god of communication, the first god that must be invoked during voodoo rituals in order to communicate with the other gods. Like Loki, he is a trickster god, playing tricks on people to either edify or destroy them.

Where do science and post-modernity lead us? We are more depressed, unhappy, and lonely than ever. Scorn at religion and old-timey traditions all you want, but who will be laughing when that day comes. I'm a liberal and highly educated with two Master's degrees. I was blind, but now I fixed my eyes on that everlasting treasure in heaven.

You missed one encounter....as Tommy was also present when the barn is surrounded while they slept outside, so terrified that he "lit out" well before they other three only to reappear at the KKK rally.

Great

one of them played for Elvis A. Presley's baptism .

Spiritual things are a real thing as far as I'm concerned.

All movies contain what I call Abstract Inversions. Mirrored representations. Tommy's mirror in that film .. George "Babyface" Nelson. Both sought fame. Both fading away in opposite forms. Tommy vanished. George sulked off. Tommy's devil-gifted playing was recorded for future generations to hear without anyone knowing who he actually was. George's violent crime spree would etch him in Outlaw History without anyone knowing how much it misrepresented his true nature. I enjoy comparing that version of "Babyface" with the one we see in Michael Mann's "Public Enemies". Another variant of Abstract Inversion (A I.) before our very eyes

it is not a retelling of the odyssey, that's what some people say to sound smart, it just has some similarities, mostly coincidental, others forced

Robert Johnson is believed to have "sold his soul to the devil" because in an 80s interview with then-VERY-old Blues players, He would show up at honky tonks and try to sit in with bands, but couldn't play in key and just kept hitting sour notes...then he disappeared for a relatively short period of time, returned, and could "Play dat guitar like NOBODY BIDNEZZ.". It's called "Found a guitar teacher somewhere." The guy must've simply took some lessons and learned the scales. Maybe the guitar teacher was a white person, hence "the devil" among black men who knew nothing about most white people but slavery and segregation.
