Best part about this scene is that Walter really believes he has seen a lot of SPINALS(lol!) and he is somehow able to see through this guy's act. The sheer stupidity is hilarious!
@@kuallalumpur5417 How dare you. The average Man/American. This aggression will not stand Man. The average Man/American fought and won freedom. They did not watch their buddy's die face down in the dirt so you could post a disparaging comment on RU-vid with a patronising blanket statement on the average American...... Man. Youre freedom was won by them. It's a league game smoky. I'M Not Fucking Around. Average American. There are no
He did kind of deserve being pulled out of the chair; for all that big talk earlier and looking down on the Dude, I'd say the "big" Lebowski was a much smaller person because he was indeed a complete phony who lived off his late wife's money and then tried to earn some extra cash by exploiting a completely innocent person with a bleeding hearts story of his trophy wife, which he actually hated. The dude was honest and completely fine with who he was. He didn't try to be anything more than himself and actually tried to do the right thing when he needed to (although reluctantly).
Plus he also embezzled the money from the Urban Achievers program and kept it for himself, for which Walter called him scum initially. I wish you (the uploader of this clip) had included the scene from right as they enter The Big Lebowski's house.
The fact that The Dude put him back in his chair says a lot about his character. I would have been like "okay, you might actually be a cripple but you're still a piece of shit, go fuck yourself" Lebowski had better have thanked The Dude after this, but I know he was too proud to do so
I was about to say, like Wtf? This dude was completely OK with having his "wife" get killed, just to get rid of her and get a million bucks out of it. No sympathy, fuck'em.
What would've perfected this scene, and I've always thought it, was to have the dog piss on the rug at the end. Just to make everything feel full circle.
The hurt in The Dudes eyes seeing the old man on the floor despite what the old man put him thru shows how much of forgiveness, love and mercy he has in his heart
Walter is the deranged lunatic that you bring along when you need to prove a point. However, when unleashed, he is very difficult to handle. Helps to have a friend like that in one's life. I had certain "Walter like qualities" in my early twenties, though I have since largely mellowed out by now in my early thirties.
stephenharperisgay Funny thing was the day before his death, I was watching one of those Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies and first trailer to pop up before the dvd menu... You guessed it, the Big Lebowski. R.I.P.
Well lemme tell you somethin' else. I've seen a lotta dead guys Dude. And this guy's a fake. A fuckin' goldbricker. This guy fuckin' lives! I've never been more certain of anything in my life!
This scene reveals that Lebowski really has nothing. He's just a sad, disabled man, living literally off of other people's charity. He's a greater bum than the Dude could ever be
OK new shit has come to light. Just learned this today from a TBL Facebook group I’m in- Want to see an actor at work? It’s commonly acknowledged that every scene in TBL is performed as scripted. The only ad-libbed line in the movie is Jeff Bridges “human paraquat”. Check out Goodman’s double-take head crank when Bridges starts hunting for his line and then blurts it out. He could have lost it, but didn’t. Scene saved and made the final cut. And now we get to quote it.
The older Lebowski drops the ball (no pun intended) on quite a few occasions. For example, when he uses words like 'Chinaman' or says 'well arent-cha' in this scene - really low class talk below his 'status'.
