whenever I do activities, I play a movie in the background.
Today, while winding down from a snow day and cleaning my room I put on "Miracle" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Both are excellent movies, but polar opposites.
but, maybe I'm going out on a limb, they are shockingly the same idea. Both retell a famous story! WOAH
"Miracle" is about the olympic hockey teams underdog victory over Russia at Lake Placid. It's an uplifting, typical, sports movie. That's why I love it though. It combines my love of hockey with my love of movies with my love of kurt russel with my love of the song Dream On.
The acting is subpar, but come on. It's a disney movie, if you're expecting oscars, dream on. Kurt Russel does great though. It's my favorite film of his, escape from new york being a close second.
On a more Coen brothers note, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is a retelling of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, in an excellent way. The songs from this movie get stuck in my head for hours. I can't tell you how many times I've sung "Man of Constant Sorrow." I also love to watch this movie and pick out the parallels between The Odyssey. Homer himself is given a cowrite credit, which I find awesome.
The movie is perfect for any Coen brothers, country music, Homer, treasure hunt, or just quirky/funny movie fan. It's epic (pun)
i have always wanted a can of dapper dan.
