Having seen these movies and some more than once it was a treat going through them again. I might argue with some of the conclusions the author draws, but most are sound. If you haven't seen any of the films, well go and do so, they're funny, sometimes incredibly violent, but they're deep and have something to say.

The Dude Abides: The Gospel According to the Coen… von Cathleen Falsani

I'm not far into this book but i am not finishing it. Very sad and i am not usually that way but it is now where what it is cracked up to be. You read about movies you watched in th 80's to have some one come with the spiritual oppion on them. Sorry I believe in god but i don't need someone dictateing my movies in to the word of the gospell. Glad this book was free on my kindle because had i paid i would have asked for my money back.

One of which I loved (Oh Brother) and the other of which I had a hard time watching till the end of the movie (Raising Arizona).

I am not a huge Coen Brothers fan, in fact I have only ever seen Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and Raising Arizona. One of which I loved (Oh Brother) and the other of which I had a hard time watching till the end of the movie (Raising Arizona). This book basically breaks down every Coen film into what I guess you can call the "Coen Fables". It shows how each are there to teach you a lesson and really a lesson that can linked back to the bible. It would appear that both brothers are minor theologians in their own rights. It was well written and really kind of fun to read! While it probably won't make me run out to rent Fargo, Barton Fink, or the The Big Lebowski; it might mean the next time they are on I won't turn the channel.… (mehr)
