Pretty cool odyssey adaptation

“You will find a fortune though it would not be the fortune you seek. But first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. You shall see things wonderful to tell. You shall see a cow on the roof of a cotton house! Oooh so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be. But fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Thigh the road may wind, your hearts grow weary... still shall ye follow the way. Even into your salvation.”

It's so beautifully written

    The music is definitely the highlight! No wonder Yale professors also recommended it. . . The ballads, religious chants and blues' '30s American country vibes are great, plus Clooney's look makes for a fun movie.

    Ulysses, sold his soul to the devil for musical talent Robert Johnson, bank thief baby face Nelson...and the well-known KKK...there are so many allusions, maybe there are many meanings that I don't see Han, Cohen put it all together to make the story flow smoothly. With the nostalgic style from beginning to end, it is too classic.
