O Brother, Where art thou?

I thought the significant scene of the film was when three of them sneaked into the campaign dinner and performed as three old man. It shows the three of them working together and realizing the changes they have obtained through the companionship in this journey. It is this scene audience's overwhelming support of their music, shows that they have changed from running from the law to becoming accepted by the society. Also, Everett realized he has reached his 'treasure' of becoming 'bona fide' to his wife. The road trip served as an adventure for these men to move away from the past and bond together through the hardships they encountered.

Why is this film called, "O Brother, Where art thou?" Does it refers to the bonding of these three mans eventually becoming brothers to each other and that they worry for each other?

  1. I also think that this scene is very significant in the movie in that it shows how each of the men have bonded and have grown to respect and trust each other. This scene is kind of the climax for the men in that their adventure has not been the most pleasure filled. I have the same question as Wei-Lin in that I would like to know the reasoning behind the title of this movie.
