"O' Brother Where Art Thou?"

In my opinion, this film is very well presented. Not only is it witty and entertaining, but in a way is also educational. I say this because the movie has several references to the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. Some of these referencs include: the song "Man of Constant Sorrow", the sirens, the cyclops, the name "Homer", and the various moments where you can catch glimpses of statues or photographs of characters from "The Odyssey". My favorite part of the film was when “The Soggy Bottom Boys” performed at the town’s central and everyone cheered them on regardless of the fact that they were escaped convicts.
