sophia_sol | O Brother Where Art Thou

The other night I watched O Brother Where Art Thou for the first time in many many years. It mostly held up pretty well! Except I can't help but realize this time that black people are only in this movie to be Magical Negros or to otherwise support the story of the white men. And the only women, really, are the sirens (who are just there to be threateningly sexy and to lack any discernible motive for their behaviour) and Penny (who comes off pretty poorly in comparison with the original Penelope).

But the music was great, and Everett was an excellent character (of the would-hate-him-in-real-life variety).
