"It almost feels like a movie is trying to form around the Dude, but he's just so nonchalant, that it's just not able to." - That may be the best description of this movie I've ever heard. The Dude is basically a guy that wandered into a movie without knowing it, and somehow became the focus of it.

This film answers the question: how do you make a thriller (or any story for that matter) with an extremely lazy, unmotivated protagonist? Lebowski is the "wrong" character for this type of film. And the Coen's make it work so, so well.

It is a take on a film noir style where the dude is in every scene. He would play the P.I. and Bunny would be the Damsel in a distress. The Coen bros just took the genre and flipped it upside down by having the dude forced into the role and it’s just not who he is.

"Its like he is breaking the fourth wall by his existence" That perfectly sums this movie! When I first saw this, I did not like at all cos its so random but seeing it a couple times more, it has become one of my favorite from the Coen brothers. The randomness and absurd things happening around a protagonist who is either clueless or simply does not care. As easy as it is to call the dude a loser or a bum, he is the real winner in the film and how he is just able to be himself no matter what crazy things are happening around him.

Coen Brothers have a lot of must-see movies. For another comedy with John Goodman, I strongly recommend Raising Arizona. For something a bit more serious but still full of that signature Coen brothers flair, Miller's Crossing is excellent. And then there's O' Brother, Where Art Thou?, where they try their hand at musical comedy and absolutely nailed it.

@beerboybrews 3 года назад

O' Brother, Raising Arizona, and True Grit are the three I would suggest next. Blood Simple is a close 4th. You really can't go wrong with the CBs. Maybe The Ladykillers...but even that is ok.

I love that the formula for this movie's plot follows the path of the classic film noir pictures, with the Dude taking the role of the classic gumshoe role. But instead of being set in the 30s or 40s, it's set in 90s LA with the kind of characters he'd run into at the time. Also, my favorite shot is the quick cut to the three guys in the car after the 'f a stranger in the a' scene. The Dude is driving his winshield-less car, not saying a word while Donny and Walter happily eat their In and Out burgers. Meaning that after all that happened that night, the guys still insisted that the Dude take them to get burgers after his car got further destroyed.

It's interesting how Coen Brothers were most known for their more whacky semi-serious/semi comedical films, and the boom, they made a 180 turn and did ''No country for old men", a 100% serious, dark and deep movie. It really shows your talent, when you can break away from the style you are so familiar with, and still turn out an absolute masterpiece.

Never seen Blood Simple?

@transformersrevenge9 3 года назад

@@DanVillainFilms I have, but even it was a bit on the darkly ironic side (at least from what I remember). It basically still has their offbeat vibe to it, while No Country is just raw, gritty, grounded and totally different from the usual.

The Dude approves this film choice. Interesting observation on how the Dude's environment becomes movie-like, throwing him into dramatic situations, while the Dude remains the mundane element. I like that little moment when the Dude is telling Walter how Lebowski tricked him and Lebowski looks up when putting together the fake briefcase of money like he's wondering what's the deal with the lighting and thunder. Moments like that and the others you've mentioned give the sense of the movie being aware of itself.

The bowling shots are filmed with a kinda of love. It reflects how The Dude, Walter, and Donny feel about bowling. You are stepping into a very small world that is it's own thing when they are in the bowling alley.

Try Barton Fink, another Cohen bros movie. I think you’d love the cinematography and the acting is also great.

He is still, whilst the world rages around him, hence the Dude.

There's a pretty cool theory about how the narrator/cowboy is God, and he's just having a good time watching The Dude happen for a while.

By my count Deakins shot at least nine of the Coens’ films. He convinced them to make No Country For Old Men. Six of Deakins’ Oscar nominations are for Coen films.

My mom took me to see this when it came out. I've loved this film since I was a kid.

@circa81 3 года назад

Your analysis of the film I think is perfect. I always worded it to myself that there's all these crazy things that happen to the Dude that are in theory supposed to add up to something, but that's the gag of the movie, it never amounts to anything with the Dude and he doesn't even care or notice. I think that's why this movie works so well.

@JamesVSCinema 3 года назад

Agreed! It through me off guard at first but once I realized that I started to really enjoy the film more than I already did!

@zatharigo7815 3 года назад

You asked, why the bowling theme. I'm not sure about this, but my take is that bowling is a sport / activity which is done in an extremely controlled environment and you basically do the same series of movements over and over again. Its played in a closed pitch, no environmental / weather factors, no other players who you interact with (at least not when you roll), and there are not many surprises and dependencies just in general. This fits the Dude very well because he just wants to be chilled, lay back and enjoy life without any extremities and within the boundaries of his usual routine.

@Nominrath 3 года назад

You said it perfectly, “Everything is trying to force the Dude to be something he’s not.” He says it himself in the movie, “All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.” He gets sucked up into this weird LA tale all because he happens to have the same last name as the eponymous Big Lebowski... Oh, and because Walter is psycho. LoL
