Line 35:
* [[Color Wash]]: They messed with the hue and saturation until everything was an intensely colorful brown, imitating the look of sepia-toned photos.
* [[Corrupt Hick]]: The insanely corrupt Big Dan Teague. Who is channeling the cyclops Polyphemus.
* [[Cult Soundtrack]]: The soundtrack album is [https://web.archive.org/web/20100119010448/http://blog.rhapsody.com/2009/11/countdec.html regarded] as one of the most important Country and Bluegrass albums of the decade and sold over 7 million copies. It also won the [[Grammy Award]] for Album of the Year in 2002, making it one of only three soundtracks to ever win that award.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Tommy Johnson traded his soul to the devil at the crossroads for his guitar skills. This is the same claim made by the real blues musician Robert Johnson.
* [[Deep South]]
Line 82:
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: {{spoiler|Homer Stokes, candidate for governor by day, Klansman by night}}.
** Note that in 1932 Mississippi, {{spoiler|being a Klansman}} would have been politically ''correct''. It would have been almost impossible for {{spoiler|Stokes}} to {{spoiler|be a serious candidate for governor}} ''without'' being one.
* [[Pop CultureCultural Osmosis]]: The Coens have claimed that they've never actually read ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]'', but know the story through its various adaptations.
* [[Produce Pelting]]: What the audience does when Homer Stokes ends up interrupting the Soggy Bottom Boys performance to get them arrested, that as well as ride him out of town on a rail.
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Pursued with a vengeance, given that a substantial portion of the film's post-production budget went into extensive color-correction. The Coens wanted every frame of the film to reflect the dingy, withered dust-bowl look, and in some cases took entire fields of green flora and turned them yellow.
