Movie night

| books, movies, music, etc | | Comments (6)

Tonight I watched "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "O" (modern-day version of "Othello").

Even though I know the story of "Othello", the movie was incredibly well done. The acting was amazing.

Oh Brother, Where Are Thou? is a fantastic movie, with an impressive soundtrack. Good stuff. ;-)

Tried to look up "O" on the IMDb, but with such a name, it's rather difficult. Would you happen to know a main actor to use to find it with, or the director?

Appreciated.

Looking into purchasing Pi shortly.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou? is one of my favorite movies of all time, in fact I debated buying the sound track last night.

O

O was originally set to be released in 1999, but was delayed when the tragedy occurred at Columbine, due to its end with students killing each other (it IS Othello). It was later released in 2000.

O, Brother, Where art thou?

OBWAT? is a remake of homer's oddesy as a turn of last century southern story. I particularly enjoyed it, but I saw an interview with George Clooney, who said he regretted making it. The music they sing (zydeco?) is particularly interesting, and non-mainstream.

I LOVED that movie. I wonder why Clooney regrets doing it? I felt it was very interesting and introduced me to a new kind of music.

p.s. found your link at weatherpixie!

Oh right! The soundtrack. *adds it to her amazon list*

I didn't know 'O' was a modern Othello. Having only seen the title, I thought it must be something to do with 'The Story of O'. Oh.
