I remember seeing this in theaters and this scene really stuck with me. This whole movie was art.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? The greatest movie ever made, eternal

[josephineledford]

That Siren with the deeper wouldve folded so hard 😮❤

I love the soft trilling rising and falling at the very edge of perception. It really enhances the supernaturality of the scene.

" First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them. If any one unwarily draws in too close and hears the singing of the Sirens, his wife and children will never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble him to death with the sweetness of their song. "

“You and me and the devil makes three.” I felt that.

Delmar's (Tim Blake Nelson's) reaction was priceless. Tim was actually blushing while filming this scene. The actresses who played the sirens were given very little direction other than to vamp the men while lip synching this tune from Emmylou, Gilian, and Alison. They nailed it.

Homer would have been proud...This movie is a masterpiece.

One of my absolute favorite scenes from the movie! Just love the silly looks the men have while I love the sound of the ladies voices!

[wtfvcc]

the absolute squeal john turturro makes is maybe my favorite part of this movie

[immortanjoe]

I can never take my eyes off these women. They're absolutely stunning.

[barrygrant]

One of the best dang movies in ages. A soundtrack to sets the bar.

I have to agree with some earlier comments. The men's acting was amazing. To act without many words can be difficult, and they did that amazingly. All of them are strong intelligent men, and to give themselves in this way was nothing short of genius and evidence of how they consistently refine their craft.

This was filmed about ten minutes from my house in Mississippi. It’s called D’lo water park. I go every summer with my kids. Great place to cool off!!!

[marksasahara]

Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch sing the Siren Song. Heavenly(?)!

[pinkies]

It's absolute genius that the historical Greek mythology was woven into this work of art. "In Homer’s Odyssey, the hero Odysseus faces one of his greatest challenges: resisting the temptations of the Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who sang so sweetly that sailors passing by could not resist their call." ❤

After watching this movie quite a few times, it just now occurred to me that the siren offered the corn liquor to Ulysses only basically to shut him up, lol.

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gone to stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the baby

You're a sweet little baby
You're a sweet little baby
Honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop
Gonna bring a bottle to the baby
Don't you weep pretty baby
Don't you weep pretty baby
She's long gone with the red shoes on
Gonna meet another lovin baby

Don't you weep pretty baby
Don't you weep pretty baby
You and me and the devil makes three
Don't need no other lovin baby

Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever lovin baby

[peddler]

That final shot, where the camera slowly pans around to show each of them absolutely enthralled, one by one, is a work of art. One of the best moments in the entire movie. Start at 2:30.
