Oh Brother where art thou?

I really enjoyed this movie. I have seen it several times before and know all of the songs, but never understood the real meaning of it all, and why it took place and how it was based off the Odyssey. I just thought it was a creative film with a neat backdrop etc....

I enjoy the first 30 minutes or so, because of George Clooney's weird behavior and his dialog. I think the director chose really great actors for it. They all seem to fit into the character they are supposed to play in the movie very well. And I think they really know a lot about how they are supposed to act and what kind of personality they are portraying in the movie. 

Epic Simile: So many moments

The leaves dance around me in circles as the falling petals caress my soft shampooed hair. I can see the sun setting in the distance, moving so slowly only a cat can watch, a cat waiting for a mouse in a field so careful not to move or blink, so patient, as a stream flowing through a quiet forest. The rain starts to pitter patter on the cold gray cement next to my feet. I can feel my sweaty palms clench into angry fists. The soft bed of grass is now a muddy stream of wet dirt under my still body. The fresh sent of flowers drifts by me as the rain begins to pour. I raise my hand to wipe the dripping makeup off my cheeks. I turn my head to the side, eyes still closed. I can hear dogs whining for the last meal of their day. I hear parents yelling at a child for a careless mistake. This moment is just one. Just one in a million, one in a day. If they were all to be counted what would a day be. So many moments, so many memories. Just one life.
