I can't even imagine how they pitched this movie. "I want to make a retelling of the Odyssey, set in the late 1800s south, starring 3 convicts, with no real point" lol. But the movie is perfect in every way. The acting, cinematography, humor, music, storytelling, everything is done flawlessly. It has an all-star cast and just does everything perfectly. It made realize how great of an actor George Clooney is, similar to how I felt about Brad Pitt in Snatch. The music in the movie is absolutely outstanding. 'Constant Sorrow' is now one of my favorite songs, and all of the music is used so well. It's also hilarious. Check it out.
