My absolute favorite part of the movie. Second to that is his orientation.
I’d still put it at number three, behind Miller’s Crossing and O Brother. Miller’s Crossing is just great in every way.
Why O Brother? I live in Nashville. I’m from the south. While I’m not a big bluegrass fan, that’s the music that played all around my childhood.
Love the Hud, “ehhhhh” the Blood.
A lot of Blood Simple’s plot depended on people not talking to each other… and it seemed like the reason they weren’t talking was just to make the plot work.
The Boutham family (wife, teenage daughter and myself) all enjoyed Hudsucker. It’s one of the Coen’s more kid friendly films even with the…
…very elaborate suicide scene early in the film.
That left my delicate daughter distraught, but a few minutes she later was smiling and laughing as she started understanding that the film had a Warner Bros. element to it.
I have Hud in my Netflix queue.
Hey, they’ve got another one probably coming out later this year: A Serious Man. Check it out; it’s about a Jewish family in Minnesota in the 1960s.
I’m sure they know a thing or two about that.
I liked it. I liked it better than Hudsucker.
It was a joke about high-toned “films” based on Important Literature. See the prequel, Sullivan’s Travels, for clarification.
I liked Intolerable Cruelty as well. Not as much as O Brother, Hudsucker, Big Lebowski, or Fargo, but I did like it.
