Contemplation

Initial Research

After pushing myself to pick a specific Coen Brothers film i found myself swaying between 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' and 'Blood Simple'. So instead of making an irrational decision i decided to undertake more research into both films, fully aware that this would cause more work for myself. I bought a book simply titled 'Coen Brothers' by Eddie Robson, which i found very useful. It evaluates every possible aspect of each film from where the initial concept came from too who created the soundtrack. 

After reading this book it's become apparent that the close family relationship doesn't stop with the brothers. A lot of the actors are featured in more than one film. Furthermore Carter Burwell first worked with the Coen's as a soundtrack producer and as a result has worked on every film they have created since then. The Coens' seem to be very faithful to their employes.
