I thought I was the only one who was annoyed by the broad stereotypes in O Brother.But then again,the collegiate,winking satire in most of their films really gets on my nerves.Yes,we get it:Jennifer Jason Leigh is doing Kate Hepburn in Hudsucker,etc.Real people dont inhabit their films,just parodies of film characters,basically.
BTW,if no one else mentioned it,in Preston Sturges' great film Sullivan's Travels,the succsessful film writer and director sets out to make an earnest drama all about the "common man".And hes going to call it "O Brother Where Art Though."
