O Brother Where Art Thou

Although this is not a "women's" road movie, I have to admit that O Brother Where Art Thou by the Coen brothers it is my favorite. I would have to say that I like this movie so much because of all of the parallels with and allusions to Homer's The Odyssey. I love movies where there are connections between the film and some sort of source, be it literary, musical, historical, or other film. It's just very interesting to me to look for all of the connections and see the similarities and differences between the original source and the film. I also enjoy this movie because George Clooney is one of my favorite actors, but also due to the stylistic elements and music in the film. I love the grittiness in the film's footage as well as the humor that runs throughout the movie.
