“O Brother, Where Art Thou?” was good movie to watch. I personally didn’t think it was going to be something I would like but I did. This movie was good at making you laugh and also has some parts with good meaning. It was way more entertaining than I thought it would be. The three most important events in this movie were the three escaped, Pete’s cousin turns them in, and Pete and Delmar get baptized. At the beginning of “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Pete, Everett, and Delmar are busting up rocks to help make a railroad. The three men are in prison type uniforms and singing with this line of other men who are also busting up rocks. Pete, Everett, and Delmar are all three chained together. They take a run for it and try to get on a moving …show more content…

Wash is Pete’s cousin who has this barn that the three men want to sleep in. As the three men are sleeping, Wash goes ahead and tries turning them in. The three of them wouldn’t come out so the men, who want to take them in, set the barn on fire. Wash’s little boy gets in the car and busts through the barn doors which are on fire, to get the three men so they can get away once again. So by this time, the three men are walking along woods as they hear people singing. They go down to where this is and see a group of people getting baptized. Delmar realizes what is going on and runs down to the river cause he wants his sins to be gone. Delmar gets baptized and then yells at Pete and Everett to come down and get baptized. Pete eventually realizes that he wants his sins to be washed away and gets talked into getting baptized. As Pete and Delmar are doing this, Everett is standing nearby watching. The three most important events in this movie were when the three of them escaped, Pete’s cousin turns all of them in, and Pete and Delmar get baptized. At the beginning of “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” It didn’t seem really interesting to me. As the movie went on, I enjoyed it more and more. This movie did really good with entertainment and got better as it went on. This movie did have good meaning behind it as well as comedy and

In these three texts, somethings are the same, and some are not. Homer likes to emphasize on three main things; the heroism of Odysseus, the magic powers of sirens, and the steps Odysseus uses, told by Circe, take to get past the sirens. Whereas, “O’ Brother Where Art Thou,” emphasizes where Pete gets turned into a toad (according to Delmar), the spell of the sirens is being controlled by making the three men drink moonshine, yet the sirens still sing a song in the background. Lastly, Atwood emphasizes around the ideas, the sirens do not like being stuck on the island, the content of the song is stated many times, and that the three sirens are bored of being on the island. The authors of these three texts primarily emphasized their own things, they easily felt that their ideas were more important.

Kill Bill Vol.1 - Close Viewing The Film “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” is directed by Quentin Tarantino, his fourth major film. In a brief genre classification of the film, it can be defined as a female lead samurai film. However it combines many aspects which bind it together in to a Grindhouse esque, female driven, revenge martial arts epic. In this essay I will look at the themes of revenge and the trope of the female action hero. More specifically I will be analysing and critiquing these themes within the scene named ‘Showdown at the house of the blue leaves’ and its importance as a whole.

Never have i been moved in an emotional way from a Will Ferrell movie. But i'd have to say that i was pleasantly surprised about by the direction of the movie. It adds a lot of introspection to the movie and throughout the movie it has you questioning the reality of the movie. To be honest it's the closest movie in a long time to actually almost bring me to tears but sadly it was changed to a happy ending essentially flipping the scale form a tragedy to a comedy. IN my opinion i agree with professor Hilbert in that he should have died in the sake of literature because life is just a story and sometimes you need the tragedies to enjoy that comedies.
