My grandfather who was born in 1922 loved this movie. He was a quiet farmer, but he would put this on when I was a kid and we would watch it together. He has now passed, and watching it always makes me think of him.
I like this scene because of how peaceful it is. No one was angry or upset that Delmar “cut” in line. The priest saw a man who wanted to be saved and he baptized him
Probably one of the best portrayles of the spiritual and physical feeling of a genuine baptism, its a sign of public confession, but also forgiveness and redemption. Even if you don't believe in God the idea is beautiful.
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:3-4 KJV
I'm Jewish Israeli, and I also work in tourism so I've been many times with Christian groups to the river Jordan. Many people come there to be baptized in the same river where Jesus was baptized according to tradition. I still think that this song is probably the best musical representation of the faith of people in redemption. It is also connected to the fact that in the film, Delmar truly tries to act righteously after being baptized. I;m of a different creed but having seen people go through this in reality and listening to the beautiful hymn always gives me a warm feeling watching this scene.
I know what you mean. Someone earlier made the comment that really speaks to the peace and beauty of this scene. No one gets mad when Delmar cuts in line, the preacher sees a man that wants to be saved and baptizes him.
This isn't Baptist. They don't baptize for remission of sins. This is a church of Christ congregation. We sing acapella and baptize for remission of sins.
@@jukihiw No baptist pastor will baptized you for forgiveness of sins. They believe you are saved by belief alone and baptized later as an "outward sign of an inward grace" as a public profession of faith. Not even the primitive Baptist believe in baptism for remission of sins.
@@dsvet Ohhh I’m sorry. I misunderstood you-yes you are completely right. I thought you meant Baptist don’t baptize at all. You meant we don’t Baptist specifically for remission. Sorry for the misunderstanding ❤️
i have been going to church for over 40 years and this scene in this movie is the first time i have ever heard of this song. it sounds like a hymn. i wonder what other old hymns that exist that have been forgotten
It seems to me that all Cohen's works are kind of about it: lost stories and memories, like the one of the three brothers and of the protagonists of The big Lebowski, or the protagonists of The ballad of Buster Scroogs. It's the stories nobody tells, that get lost in time.
I work with a church based nonprofit from the Lutheran tradition that operates at a remote wilderness site. A couple who was on long term staff had a baby, and decided to ahve her baptised. We processed from our main meeting space to the local river singing this song, and the baby was baptised in the river fhat flows through our valley.
My cinema class is watching this right now and I can't express the amount of tears of joy I held back and peace and harmony I felt in my soul from the people singing this song. I swore I heard this before and I never knew the name until now. I'm Christian but am not really super religious or anything but this song makes me appreciate all that God and Jesus has done for me and for others. I never got baptized but my soul did when it heard this song.
Near genious in every aspect of this film. The music is another level of simplistic excellence. Still makes me laugh after at least a dozen times since i first seen it. My son bought the DVD for my birthday when he was just 10 years old.
One of my favorite lines in this movie, words to the effect, “it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought.” I’ve used that line a couple times.
What is so beautiful about this song and it doesn't make sense so I need to go down to the river to pray and sing about the good old way y'all make anything a gospel song these day
can you imagine though? you're in the middle of nowhere and these dozens of white-clad ethereal beings slowly glide by you singing as one. who WOULDNT follow them? there's something so fae about it even though i know it's currently a christian practice. it's definitely a kind of magic, for sure.
@Angie Ball if He ain't magical he's certainly a wizard. Some of the stuff He pulls throughout the Bible is nothing short of magic. So I would agree with you He is magical.
I love these comments. I have followed Jesus since 1984, and whilst it is true that God is way beyond magic, there is something about the word that captures how music, nature and art can captivate and point us to the Eternal. Go well friends.
This was one of my grandmothers favorite songs. She was a young teenager during this time period. She said her family always had gospel music playing on the radio.
There're plenty of small congregations out there and understanding people. I also suffer from social anxiety (diagnosed as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but certainly exacerbated by social situations). Church is one of the least anxiety-inducing places I can be- especially the church my family went to when I was little, which is smaller. My sister still goes there. Probably 100 people, max, in that church, and never all at once. There's a certain peace in being somewhere where so many people knew you before you were born. They're like family, but the kind that are always loving and happy to see you. I pray God meets you wherever you are, and that you find a place that helps ease your soul.
I saw this film 5x at the theater, family friends whoever hadn't seen it at the time I took 😀 Words don't begin to describe how much I love this film, especially the music!!!
The baptism scene in O Brother, Where Art Thou is a reference to the Lotus Eaters in Homer's The Odyssey. I like and appreciate how the scenes and characters mix both symbols of classic Americana with elements of Homer's epic poem.
Such a beautiful song. Being raised in the South, with so much gospel influence, the movie has such a special meaning to me bc I was living in Nashville at the time it was released. Music City couldn't get enough of the music and I've personally been smitten ever since. ❤
As a born again, baptised Christian who has experienced firsthand the redeeming salvation of Jesus, this is one of my favourite scenes in the history of film! Nothing can transform a life like Jesus coming into your heart!
Me too brother. When Jesus comes into our hearts it's the best thing ever. I sing this song in Church when no-one else is there. A moment between my Saviour and me. Folks, it's real and it works. The Lord done washed away my sins and transgressions. Come on folks. Rev Dave
I’m 22 but when I was a very young child my mom would play this song, as well as “I am a man of constant sorrow”, for me. For years I thought she must’ve been very pious back then but she recently told me that she had this on CD from the movie soundtrack 😂. Still a very beautiful song that reminds me of my early childhood.
God speaks to every one of us, most of us are too distracted to hear the voice of God in our heart. Deep inside our soul yearns for the connection to God through the Holy Spirit, the world is deafening distraction to try and cancel that out.
What a masterpiece this is! Became a Coen fan after Raising Arizona but this is a whole nother level. Never paid much attention to George Clooney (yeah he's pretty nuff) but knew he had to be special after seeing this. Definitely bona fide dude.
If you love this song like I do, I highly recommend watching the Colorado All-State Treble Choir singing it in the atrium of a hotel during a competition. I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written for treble voices.
You don’t have to believe to enjoy the results of other peoples faith. Any music that comes from people with a sense of place or faith is always beautiful. Just sit back shut up and enjoy it. Just because your an atheist doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate a good choir.
I used to rent this movie every Friday night from Hollywood Video, was a family tradition to go each weekend, and as a 7-12 year old, I was constantly obsessed with this movie. I knew nothing about it, simply rented it based on the VHS cover. Still love it at 30!\
I was saved back in the eighties and my whole household followed. We got baptized soon after all together in a swimming pool in Victorville,California proper place to receive salvation and eternal reward,Victory over dealth,death, and the grave.Jesus is the one and only way to heaven.
@@JonathanToolonie It’s a simple question, really. Why did you choose to undergo that ritual? At what point in your life did you decide that the Almighty was your only solution? What was going on in your life before you made that decision?
How I am coming out of the confession booth each week 🙂 Then awashed with the heavenly mass, with the real presence of the world's saviour entering my soul. Thank you Jesus Christ, for Catholic priests & the Holy Mass❤️🔥🙂
I believe in God and biblical values but don't focus only on Christ .....this definitely hits .... morality is on the decline and the structures of man are crumbling....when I hear this I'm ok with it
This scene makes me cry happy tears every time. I love how you can hear the voices but don't understand at first, but then all of a sudden you hear the congregation burst into song. I know it's not an overtly religious movie, but this scene makes me think of how much I love the Savior Jesus Christ 🥹
Please remember, SPEAK the WORDS of SALVATION and seal it with the WATER BAPTISM! Come to JESUS and HE will set YOU FREE!!! What a wonderful LOVE we have in JESUS....GLORY BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY....AMEN AMEN AMEN
I am a retired church musician and was blessed with beautiful choirs. I saw this piece in the music catalog, bought it for a women’s gospel group I had. When it was time for them to sing it for the first time they launch into it and the congregation started to giggle. I was confused and we finished it. A member of my SATB choir came to me after the service, still giggling, and asked me if I’d seen the movie. Of course, I hadn’t! So then this lovely song became a regular feature at services and concerts we did!
Never in my life did I ever laugh so hard this is one of favourites,I was hoping maybe a second one, people need hope and faith and to laugh,Thank you George Clooney and all the actors and actresses,we need more of these kinds of movies thank you again 👍
There is something that I remembered after watching this scene that it interesting. That guy said everyone's looking for answers, and that it was hard times they were living in, and many other people see christianity and religion in general as a way to get through life easier. However, when jesus talks about living with God he talks about a yoke. God takes away the yoke of the world, and replaces it with his own. He never promised anyone an easy life, but the burden he gives you leads to better things ultimately.
I am religious, and I hold two STEM degrees and work as a senior level computer programmer. I won't apologize for my Christian faith nor justify it. I say this because so many in these comments feel the need to excuse or justify their comments. I won't. I will say however that this movie clip is beautiful. My daughter (GenZ) recently was baptized of her own free will, in something very similar to this. This tradition is beautiful. There's a holiness to this entire thing, this clip encapsulates it very well.
Wonderful just looking at the eyes of the brother who runs towards redemption. I somehow reminds me of Pirandello's short novel "Ciaula scopre la luna".
You can only put your faith in God in the end. Things of this world are only temporary and can be taken away and bad things can happen. There is nothing like hard economic times to show people that they have to rely on God more than anything of this earth. God will wash away all our sins.
1 Corinthians 14:24-25 ESV "But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God really is among you."
Definitely,So many brilliant lines,take Michael Badalucco 'Baby face Nelson' "Jesus saves, but George Nelson WITHDRAWS!" & the casting was spot on with so many actors, like the women bank customer who comment hurt George's feelings, where did they find her...
Although they may have wanted to make fun of religion in this movie, the beauty and joy of the truth shines through. I was water baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins in 1981 and I felt the amazing power of that cleansing from sin. I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost four weeks later and was filled with joy unspeakable and love, power, and freedom from fear. It’s real! And I spoke in tongues just like the Bible says. That was my full salvation and the down payment of eternal life.
In 1976 , at the age of thirty-four, I was reading the KJV Bible and fell under strong conviction of Jesus words and teaching and was born again in the Missouri Ozarks hills. I went to the local country church and stood up and said that I wanted to be baptized. I had been witnessing to my lovely wife of ten years.She accompanied me to the creek, along with members of the church and Robert Grisham the preacher. As I waded into the water, two older ladies said to Judy, "Go and join your husband." She came in and we were baptized together. We were Christians together in all of the ups and downs of our life together until she died of strokes in 2015. We will be rejoined with Jesus when my time comes and worship him together in the Kingdom of God in Heaven. We were both Holy Ghost baptised and received the power to be evangelists for Christ. I am 80 years old now and my time is drawing nigh, Thank you Jesus, Glory to God. Sincerely, Richard Sleep
@@richardsleep5242 thank you for sharing your powerful testimony, praise The Lord for His Holy Spirit and love. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I honestly don’t think they were making fun of God at all, I’ve watched this movie at least 20 times and I feel like the “religious” parts were honest and truthful.
@@007Julie oh I think it’s great. I suppose I was thinking of what’s his name’s dismissive attitude about religion, and his reliance on rational thought. Maybe the movie is a nice blend of ideas and beliefs.
If I had a nickel for every time the Coens used the Odyssey as a basis to tell a story about self realisation and to showcase American Folk Music set in the early to mid 1900's, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's wonderful that it happened twice.
My grandfather who was born in 1922 loved this movie. He was a quiet farmer, but he would put this on when I was a kid and we would watch it together. He has now passed, and watching it always makes me think of him.
I’m sorry for your grandpa mate
What a wonderful memory to have
A lovely film and a beautiful memory!
My grandpa was born in 1930 and he too loved this movie. He passed away in 2008 and my wife at the time and her sister sang this song at his funeral.
That's so cool you can relieve the experience of being with you grandpa.
The subtle dry comedy in every microsecond of this film is an absolute joy
On word best describes this film and is good proof there's not many films like it no more and that word is classic!

I get chills everytime I watch this video. Like you said it's so peaceful and calming.

They were nice Southern baptists, y'all.

Really? Whats your religion and where are you from? I was raised Appalachia/southern and methodist and I know this one. I think its more Appalachia
This scene shows that all three actors would be as comfortable on stage as on screen. What a great movie.
The acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the script, are by far some of the best in the history of major motion pictures.
I watch this scene about once a week.
I’m not religious, I just find it peaceful.
Then you need to look up the live version of Alison kraus and choir. Magical
You don't need to have religion to have a soul
Same.
The Lord wants to be in your life. The Lord wants your heart
Its the "knocking at the door".
Your recognizing the energy of your creator. It's calling
The movie is a downright masterpiece of cinema and storytelling
C’mon in boys the water is fine….undoubtedly one the most underrated movies. So deep and subtle. Thank you Mr’s Coens.

Hymns are always beautiful. I’m sure you’d be fine to check in at church if you just feel like singing, get your spirit filled.
George Clooneys best comedy role of his career
Absolutely!
Perhaps simply his best role, period. My favorite, anyway. What role of his do you think was better than this one?
Near genious in every aspect of this film. The music is another level of simplistic excellence. Still makes me laugh after at least a dozen times since i first seen it. My son bought the DVD for my birthday when he was just 10 years old.

So then this lovely song became a regular feature at services and concerts we did!
I love this movie because is spiritual and funny at the same time.
Absolutely brilliant! Totally underrated masterpiece...
Even as an atheist, this is a beautiful scene with the singing.
Never in my life did I ever laugh so hard this is one of favourites,I was hoping maybe a second one, people need hope and faith and to laugh,Thank you George Clooney and all the actors and actresses,we need more of these kinds of movies thank you again 👍
As a Pagan i grew up on this movie. This song is and always be my favorite.
The preacher didn't wash away your sins. The blood of Jesus did. Baptism is the symbol of this redemption. 🙏❤️
There is something that I remembered after watching this scene that it interesting. That guy said everyone's looking for answers, and that it was hard times they were living in, and many other people see christianity and religion in general as a way to get through life easier. However, when jesus talks about living with God he talks about a yoke. God takes away the yoke of the world, and replaces it with his own. He never promised anyone an easy life, but the burden he gives you leads to better things ultimately.
Following the outline of Homer's ODYSSEY, the congregation are a substitute for The Lotus Eaters.
One of the greatest movies ever made.
A touching heartwarming scene .
I am religious, and I hold two STEM degrees and work as a senior level computer programmer. I won't apologize for my Christian faith nor justify it. I say this because so many in these comments feel the need to excuse or justify their comments. I won't. I will say however that this movie clip is beautiful. My daughter (GenZ) recently was baptized of her own free will, in something very similar to this. This tradition is beautiful. There's a holiness to this entire thing, this clip encapsulates it very well.
Did someone ask you to apologize for your Christian faith?
Not the preacher, the son of god. Washed your sins away. Praise god.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE 🎬 I LOVE THE MUSIC 🎶
I have always loved this song
One of the best movies ever made.
I absolutely loved this movie.this was planned at my daughter 's funeral 16 years ago
My favorite scene. I can almost smell the river and feel heat and humidity.
Wonderful just looking at the eyes of the brother who runs towards redemption. I somehow reminds me of Pirandello's short novel "Ciaula scopre la luna".
The genius of the Coen Brothers ability to create dialogue is almost frightening. In my opinion they are on par with the world greats.
You can only put your faith in God in the end. Things of this world are only temporary and can be taken away and bad things can happen. There is nothing like hard economic times to show people that they have to rely on God more than anything of this earth. God will wash away all our sins.
Love this song!
I love this movie & all my brothers & sisters in Christ
I've loved this show and ALL of the songs within.
It's a fool who looks for logical in a human heart ❤️
1 Corinthians 14:24-25 ESV "But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God really is among you."
LOL, let's not get carried away here
@@randmiller88 what’s that supposed to mean??
Amen
That sin’s been WARSHED away too 😂😂😂😂
James 5:16 ~ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
2:50
That film is surreal. George clooney (and others) are great in it
MASTERPIECE!!! Movie and soundtrack!!
Definitely,So many brilliant lines,take Michael Badalucco 'Baby face Nelson' "Jesus saves, but George Nelson WITHDRAWS!" & the casting was spot on with so many actors, like the women bank customer who comment hurt George's feelings, where did they find her...
My Gigi always listen to the song before she passed away and every time I listen to it now it makes me think of her
This movie is so Great! Means TRUTH in many ways .
Although they may have wanted to make fun of religion in this movie, the beauty and joy of the truth shines through. I was water baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins in 1981 and I felt the amazing power of that cleansing from sin. I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost four weeks later and was filled with joy unspeakable and love, power, and freedom from fear. It’s real! And I spoke in tongues just like the Bible says. That was my full salvation and the down payment of eternal life.
In 1976 , at the age of thirty-four, I was reading the KJV Bible and fell under strong conviction of Jesus words and teaching and was born again in the Missouri Ozarks hills. I went to the local country church and stood up and said that I wanted to be baptized. I had been witnessing to my lovely wife of ten years.She accompanied me to the creek, along with members of the church and Robert Grisham the preacher. As I waded into the water, two older ladies said to Judy, "Go and join your husband." She came in and we were baptized together. We were Christians together in all of the ups and downs of our life together until she died of strokes in 2015. We will be rejoined with Jesus when my time comes and worship him together in the Kingdom of God in Heaven. We were both Holy Ghost baptised and received the power to be evangelists for Christ. I am 80 years old now and my time is drawing nigh, Thank you Jesus, Glory to God. Sincerely, Richard Sleep
@@richardsleep5242 “only one life, so soon it will pass. Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
You have chosen well .
@@richardsleep5242 thank you for sharing your powerful testimony, praise The Lord for His Holy Spirit and love. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I honestly don’t think they were making fun of God at all, I’ve watched this movie at least 20 times and I feel like the “religious” parts were honest and truthful.
@@007Julie oh I think it’s great. I suppose I was thinking of what’s his name’s dismissive attitude about religion, and his reliance on rational thought. Maybe the movie is a nice blend of ideas and beliefs.
If I had a nickel for every time the Coens used the Odyssey as a basis to tell a story about self realisation and to showcase American Folk Music set in the early to mid 1900's, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's wonderful that it happened twice.
What does any of this have to do with Phineas and Ferb?
What’s the other one?
God is the answer 🙏 ❤
God bless all of you!
I love this movie so much! i never tire from watching it
One of the best movies in modern memory. Can we please go back to artistic great movies? Please?
One of my favorite movies
I think it won an award for best soundtrack
I can't believe my grandparents, who are both alive and active, were alive during this time.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS FOR THIS COMEDY!!🙏🇺🇲👍🏻😊
This movie never die
