From 2000 to 2001, many good music films appeared, such as Dancer in the Dark by Bjork, the queen of Icelandic songs, Almost Famous about the mileage of rock stars, etc. These movie soundtracks have achieved high commercial success and have won many. Fans like it, but it is the original soundtrack of the comedy film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" directed by the Coen Brothers that has gained popularity this year.
The various movies mentioned above are interspersed with a large number of beautiful songs in the film, but they are nothing more than various types of modern pop music, such as "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" This describes the old American story in the 1930s. In the movie, there are old songs that are nostalgic and classic enough. In order to produce the sound of Mississippi in the movie era (1932), the Coen brothers recruited T-Bone Burnett, who had done it for folk-rock artists such as Elvis Costello, Sam Phillips, Joseph Arthur, and Counting Crows. The supervising master producer comes to recall and reproduce the country music, root grass, folk songs, religious hymns and blues of that era. The Coen brothers and Burnett made the soundtrack of this movie into a collection of music history of that era.
Although none of the songs appearing in the film were newly made for the film, and these artists were not able to often make those early music, but their efforts made all the songs appearing in the film to sublime the film. These songs include "Po Lazarus" written by Alan Lomax in 1955, describing life in the black hell-yes, by the way, all these songs are composed of old villages (such as Fairfield Four, Ralph Stanley, the Whites) and Recorded by new and great singers/groups (such as Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris). All the songs are not recorded with the digital recordings commonly used in modern times. This makes the songs have a realistic effect in line with that era. .
One of these songs is believed to be remembered by those who have watched the movie. It is Dan Tyminksi’s "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow", which made the three unlucky ones sing famous by chance in the movie and finally saved it. My own song is a cheerful, natural, old-rooted grass/country work that is never tired of listening to it. There are also three silly and cute hapless guys who tried to wash away their sins by the river, "Didn\'t Leave Nobody But the Baby", and "O Death" which appeared in the climax of the film to show the 3K party party scene. All Everything is perfectly performed by the producer Burnett. Although this is an earlier work, it still doesn’t sound a bit disgusting today. On the contrary, it has no commercial motivation and purely expresses the temperament of music. It makes people unforgettable, and even these songs almost robbed the limelight of the movie.
