@@ZappleZ We get the point of the movie. We just want more of Buster. He is awesome. And, I love Tim Blake Nelson, plus his singing. Also, this character is great-a lethal, tiny, white-suit wearing sorta psycho. With great singing ability. Maybe your missing how AWESOME Tim Blake Nelson is???
Its been done, the singing cowboy trope phased out for a reason lol its good as a standalone one off story i think the mystery of how we got to this point in the story makes it better lol
@@Neilapolitan08you don't need animation to have character design. They didn't just put him in regular clothes. He has a very cool design with the all white
@@PrimeTime0I think I'm late but do you know how in western movies people wear white if they're good guys and black if they're bad? Maybe that's what they were trying to show
All day i faced The barren waste Without the taste of water Cool water Old Dan and i With throats burned dry And souls that cry for water Cool clear water Dan, can you see that big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for you and me The night's so cool And I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water Cool water But with the dawn I wake and yawn and carry on Cool water(water) Cool clear water(water, water) Keep on moving, Dan Don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil oughta man And he spreads the burning sand With water(water) Dan, can you see that big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for you and me
Its happening to me, i used to be the fastest dude in my field, now younger guys are much faster than me. Its very depressing but its a part of life i guess
The most profound observation of the "Life Fact" of "You can't be the Top Dog forever" is in the Bible in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. Especially Chapter 1 and Chapter 3. I've never read anything else that sums up reality better than Ecclesiastes. And I'm an Agnostic, no religious view to push at all.
Andrew M he’s wrong though, all the stories were great. This one was probably the least profound and meaningful but also probably the most entertaining
The Bloodhound Guy last one was the weirdest. I think it was about death. I.e the three people are being transported to the afterlife and they slowly start to realise
This is honestly my favourite scene from any movie ever. It's amazing, the song, the performance, the different shots and the way the sound is altered to suit each pov, inside the guitar, panning between the rocks and the harmonies bouncing off them. It's the best.
There are a lot of sub par movies where I can honestly say "I could have done better". Absolutely can't say that about this. No way. Whoever produced the audio and oversaw this project is a true professional. It's pure release and you don't want it to end.
I need a movie about Buster Scruggs. He seems like the cowboy version of Deadpool. He breaks the 4th wall and has his own moral code but it COMPLETELY a bad guy! I would love to see what musical mischief he would get into
Just discovered this movie and the beginning song. Idk what it is about this tune but I absolutely love the hell out of it. Grew up watching old westerns and “cool water” just strikes a cord I’ve never felt until now. This guy definitely deserves his own movie.
That shot inside the guitar was great, but my favorite has to be the quick "pan shot" from mountain to mountain in sync with music at 1:09. Gave the idea that we, the audience, have our brows furrowed and are looking around, wondering "Where are those voices coming from?!" Adore that kind of cinematography.
@@oscartovar9990 I grew up listening to the Marty Robins version. Also, the tune used for Surly Joe is old, and probably used for many songs. Most notably to me, it's the similar ... not quite exactly... the tune used in Jimmie Driftwood's "Zelma Lee" ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bP6V0ZyhMz8.html
Godzilla52 most of these films were shot in Colorado or Idaho on Nebraska the only one that was filmed on a green screen was the Mortal remains so yeah
This really gets my nostalgia I grew up in the deep south and my daddy was a rodeo man in his younger years he used to sing this song to me at the campfire and used to tell me about his time out west and in Alaska
Also, I know the Coens aren't in the business of sequels, prequels, or remakes, but I sincerely hope that they're aware of the noise fans of this segment have made and that they make a feature-length prequel of this story. Knowing them, they can EASILY create a backstory and a mythology for Buster that would suit a proper film. Keep the noise going, people!
For some reason, I don't think that would be a good idea. Whenever fans have asked to sort of.. Explain the origins or the magic behind it all, all we got was disappointment.
@@Peyote1312 A TV show or series about his various exploits would be nice. Like the old "spaghetti westerns" or silver screen cowboy shows of the old days. His Unequivocaly voluptuous vocubaluary and those vivacious vocals are just too good to let sit and rot in a single 10 minute segment of a criminally underrated collection of Brothers Grimm-style Western stories. The price of creating such a charismatic persona. We have someone who is allegedly legendary for his six-gun slinging and his somatic articulations across the land. You gave us a taste of a story...but left our glasses just as dry and desolate as poor Busters Wanting-for water canteen. It would be s travesty to just leave it at this.
I feel like the magic and lasting emotion of the Buster Scruggs segment wouldn't have been so impactful had it been a full length feature . Everything about this short story caught me off guard in the best of ways.
All day I've faced a barren waste Without the taste of water, cool water Old Dan and I with throats burned dry And souls that cry for water Cool, clear water The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water, cool water And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water Cool, clear water Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Dan, can you see that big, green tree? Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' there for you and me? Water, cool, clear water The shadows sway and seem to say "Tonight we pray for water, cool water" And way up there He'll hear our prayer And show us where there's water Cool, clear water Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Dan, can you see that big, green tree? Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' there for you and me? Water, cool, clear water Cool, clear water
this was my favorite movie by far but buster Scruggs was my favorite of all. such beautiful scenery in this scene and a great character. I would pay a premium to watch a series of him with this production
I absolutely love this movie. It is a treasure, and the Coen brothers might be the best there is right now. I was in awe from start to finish. So many ups and downs, hilarious, tragic, and beautiful. A masterpiece of film art in my humble opinion.
Watched this on a whim and was glad I did. Was playing RDR at the time and it was perfect. I think about the scenes from this movie all the time. You know it's good when the things you saw and heard resonate years later.
I think pretty much everyone who saw the film wants a prequel with his adventures. Tim Blake Nelson is perfect for this role! I loved his part so much.
@1:00 and onwards, when Buster sings about water, I can't help but think that the voices that coming out of the mountains aren't Buster's echoes but actual people out in the mountains dying of thirst crying for water.
Buster Scruggs was the songbird, his lyrics formed the entire tale this masterpiece foretold. The intro character is indeed the late Buster Scruggs. The rest of the film is all the songs he wrote, thus The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
All day I've faced the barren waste With out the taste of water... cool, water. Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry, and souls that cry for water... cool, clear water. The nights are cool and I'm a fool. Each star's a pool of water... cool, clear water. And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn and carry on to water... cool, clear water. The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water.... cool, clear water And way up there He'll hear our prayer and show us where there's water... cool, clear water. Keep a-movin' Dan. Don't you listen to him Dan. He's the devil, not a man. He spreads the burnin' sand with water. Say Dan can't you see that big green tree, where the water's runnin' free. It's waiting there for you and me and water.... cool, clear water. Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for Just one thing more than water.... cool, clear water. Like me I guess he'd like to rest where there's no quest for water... cool, clear water.
I love the guitar shot. Such a little thing, but forcing perspective inside the guitar immediately establishes an omniscient narrator and a world where normal rules don't have to apply. One momentary shot, and all of a sudden a cowboy can trade his spurs for wings, a table can be a deadly weapon, and a coach can be a ticket to the afterlife. Just wonderful.
@@CharlieBrown20XD6 I would say the miners tale was the only one that wasn't tragic. He worked hard, someone tried to shaft him, but he still came out ahead. All the other ones though for sure ended pretty bleak!
Always loved this song...done by the Sons of the Pioneers back in the 40's...even did a duet of this tune with Roy Rogers, one of the members of the band. Now on the bucket list is a duet with Buster.....
Good movie, when the old man got shot in the back, I thought he died. All that work and as soon as he finds gold he gets shot. Probably best character in the movie.
This character takes most of us all the way back to the old spaghetti westerns me to Looney Tunes… it’s such a damn good watch I wish the entire movie was about Buster Scruggs.
This is the best thing I have seen on Netflix, a real credit to their production efforts, just a pity we didn't get to see more of buster Scruggs, may he rest in peace..
I really hope they don't spin this character off for another movie. He's brilliantly written but I think he did everything he was supposed to do in the 15 minutes he was on-screen: punch a gigantic hole in the western hero stereotype.
