O Brother, Where Art Thou?/YMMV

• Awesome Music: Man of Constant Sorrow
  • Many people felt that the whole soundtrack was better than the movie. Even people who thought the movie was very, very good.
    • The soundtrack, which had sequels of its own, also won Album of the Year at the 2002 Grammys.
  • And the a capella singing of "Down To The River" deserves special mention for its INCREDIBLE harmonies. That many people singing together, all with amazing voices, is enough to give you goosebumps.
• Colbert Bump: The music. ALL of it.
• Complete Monster: Big Dan Teague - he's a con man, a brute, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and a toad killer (a toad that was also initially believed to be Pete transformed).
  • Sheriff Cooley himself is actually WORSE than Big Dan Teague. First off, in his first appearance, he and his police force attempted to torch a man's home just to lure out the protagonists. He then did something similar at the second hiding place, a hiding place they weren't in, BTW. After capturing one of the protagonist via mercenary launderers, he also was willing to have him hanged AFTER torturing him, and the only reason he didn't was because the prisoner said "god forgive me". Probably his most despicable act was having the protagonists hanged anyways at the ending of the film even after it became apparent that they had been pardoned. It was also heavily implied that he's satan on Earth, as one of the characters mentioned that he sold his soul to the devil, and his description matched Cooley's description exactly, and when Delmar stated that what he was doing was unlawful when he was preparing to have them hanged, he states that the "law is a human institution."
• Crosses the Line Twice: Everett's daughters telling him repeatedly, directly to his face, that he died from being hit by a train.
  • "Oh George, not the livestock!"'
