Line 9:
All of their films are scored by [[Carter Burwell]].
(Do not confuse Joel Coen with scriptwriter Joel Cohen. [[Bill Murray]] did... [[Garfield: The Movie|once]].)
{{filmography|Films written and directed by the Coens:}}
* ''[[Blood Simple]]'' (1984)
Line 58 ⟶ 60:
* [[Invisible Advertising]]: Their early film ''Crimewave'', written by them but directed by [[Sam Raimi]] of [[Evil Dead]] and ''Spider-Man'' fame.
* [[Lying Creator|Lying Creators]]: They have been known to make absurd and at times blatantly untrue statements about their own films; for instance, when asked whether ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' was influenced by ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]'', they claimed to have never read it. Also see "Roderick Jaynes" under [[Running Gag]] below.
** Actually, they said they've never read it, but were familiar with most of it via [[Pop
*** The fact that the movie features a cyclops, sirens, and many various other elements directly related to the plot of ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]'' implies they had its story firmly in mind.
*** That, and [[Clue, Evidence, and a Smoking Gun|the dedication to Homer and the "inspired by the Odyssey" card in the opening credits.]]
Line 88 ⟶ 90:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Carter Burwell's melancholy and emotional soundtracks often contrast sharply with the dry, absurd and/or grim tone of their films. Most obviously seen in ''[[Miller's Crossing]]'', a very dark and cynical film with a breathtakingly beautiful musical score.
** But is it really dissonance when the music is melancholy and the tone is grim or dark?
* [[Southern-Fried Genius]]: Their movies often features Southern characters that are either very smart, or [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|talk like it]].
* [[Stupid Crooks]]: The brothers tend to include [[Criminals|criminal characters]] in a lot of their stories, including a few bumbling crooks who usually, but not always, appear in their comedies.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Their upcoming film ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]'' is said to be based partially on the life of folk musician Dave van Ronk.
Line 97 ⟶ 100:
