Is there even a single flaw in this movie?
Why would he find a stranger in the alps?
>>214141917walter is too aggressive every time, i hate itjust like tommy from goodfellas, joe pesci ruins every scene
>>214142045Disliking a character’s personality flaws is not a flaw in the movie
>>214142045Can you blame him, nobody else cares about the fucking rules
>>214142045Joe Pesci was playing a real person who was famously an utter nightmare to be around
>>214142045The scenes with Walter chimping out were some of the best in that movie.
The movie's tone necessitates a degree of seriousness but Peter Stormare's goofy performance trivializes every scene he's in.
>>214142098he was playing two people, i read the book, book is way better. also the godfather book is betterthey're both at your local library
>>214142001A post it note with a drawing of a dude with a penis.
>>214142081>"Fair? Who's the fuckin nihilists around here you bunch of fucking crybabies!?"
>>214142131Not mine. Some faggoty asshole keeps checking them out.
>>214142131He was based on one guy, whose real name was Tommy DeSimone. I’ve read both books, but thanks.
>>214142045It's fine because he's not going around murdering people.
>>214141917I've started watching about a half dozen times but lose interest after about an hour. It just feels like there's no stakes to anything.
>>214141917the musical sequences aren’t as good as the rest of the film
>>214142125What part of the movies tone conveys seriousness in any way? Was it Walter chimping out over kike shit even though he only converted because of this ex wife, or Sam Elliot in cowboy gear doing a monologue at the end?
>>214142131I've read more books than you.
>>214141917yeah, it was shit
>>214142215The gutterballs scene was peak.
the german villains may have been too muchbut idk I'm not a movie making expertit's 10/10 comfykino nevertheless
>>214142251Go back to tiktok zoomzoom
>>214142209what stakes are there in life that there arent in the movie?
I didn't get the dude would be fiends with someone like Walter in the first place.
>>214141917It's boring
>>214141917You're killing your father Larry
>https://youtu.be/JLLCyrf8Ro4?si=-DZhBt4JbOO3vxfeWhatever happened to Tara Reid?
>>214143230
>>214143323I miss Philip Seymour Hoffman
>>214141917He was a hippie, friends with a guy who served in Vietnam.
How do I achieve the Dude lifestyle? I need to work to make money.
>>214141917Too high brow
>>214141917the first joke doesn't come until 30 minutes in. or even later, but at least 30 because there wasn't one by the time i turned it off then
>>214143536then you cant. you have to inherit a house basically
>>214143483not unusual. lots of crossover there
Not enough naked Tara Reid and Julianne Moore.
>>214141917There is no way that they wouldn’t have looked in the briefcase at the million dollars. The whole movie depends on us believing that they wouldn’t and didn’t. The film knows it’s bullshit and totally pretends that it doesn’t. >>214142125I don’t hate him but I don’t know what the Coens see I him. He doesn’t do anything for me.
>>214141917They didn’t show Julianne Moore’s red hairy p-p-pussy.
>>214142464always figured they were childhood friends. They still sort of work well together.
>>214144111Moore is terrible in it. She’s terrible in lots of things. She’s good in Boogie Nights. >>214143323I don’t love his performance in it either. He too is good in Boogie Nights.And what’s the deal with the Coens writing Jewish AF characters and then casting the goyest goys in the films?
>>214142209stop watching it while high on weed fucking retard
>>214144338thats actually what makes it good you nerdy little virgin
>>214144338That's, like, the only way to watch it, man.
Ben Gazzara isn't in enough scenes
>>214144426Based Gazzarapilled anon
>>214144426He’s great but I’m not sure more of him would have held up.
>>214142045>walter is too aggressive every time, i hate itExcept when it comes to doing shit for his ex wife, that's the joke.
>>214142169>He was based on one guy, whose real name was Tommy DeSimone.Wrong retard. There were things that Tommy did in the movie that didn't happen in real life. In real life it was Paulie's other son (who wasn't in the movie) that was also a hothead and introduced Jimmy to Karen. It's called a "composite character"
>>214144426>GazzaraThere was just enough of him in it. Same with Sam Elliot. Having them there was kino but any more would have been too much.
>>214142131>i read the book, book is way better. also the godfather book is betterThis is a dumb opinion. Both are great books, but Puzo himself wouldn't say the Godfather novel is better than the movie. And Wiseguy (Goodfellas book) is very informative, but it's written like a long interview.
>>214144707>Jimmy to Karen.Henry to Karen.
>>214144662>"So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish!?"Fucking kek
>>214144194he’s perfect in Fargo which is a perfect film
>>214141917You mean other than being boring as shit? I legitimately never finished it because of how boring it was.
>>214144791Interesting to see his thinking written out. Walter is a Jewish fear-stereotype embodied in a character. He’s the uber-philosemite who longs to be Jewish, whose surface you scratch to find a Nazi. He’s a Polish Catholic whose business is named S obcheck S ecurity and he muses positively about the ethos of National Socialism even after ranting about Nazis. In real life Milius was a right-wing Jew and the real Jeff Lebowski a leftover hippie Jew.
>>214142075Making your character annoying on purpose means the audience is stuck with that annoying character anyway
>>214141917I've got two:1) Donny dying, which is completely pointless and adds nothing to the story2) The ending drags out due to his funeral and C-tier attempts at making it funnyWhy even kill the guy when writing the script? What was the big brain move here?
>>214145521All the really deep, interesting stuff in Lebowski is churning beneath the absurd surface. It’s why the film has such longevity even if the Priests of Dudism or whatever don’t know it. Donny’s death wants us to feel like it’s a part of that subterranean meaning but it doesn’t actually seem to be. If it is, I haven’t figured it out yet. It feels like a cheat to wrap things up.
>>214145135>In real life Milius was a right-wing Jew and the real Jeff Lebowski a leftover hippie Jew.based
>>214144426>>214144589>>214144724It took me until just now to realize they're both in this, after Gazzara gets Elliot killed in Roadhouse. Jesus
>>214146209I should have added ‘Milius CLAIMED to be a Jew’ . I think he probably actually was but other Hollywood Jews refused to believe him because of his politics, which is relevant in a way wrt Walter.
>>214144707Giving him one person’s function in a single scene to cut down on adding and establishing an additional character doesn’t make him a composite character, it’s just economic storytelling. There are other things in the film that aren’t true to life
>>214141917I like it but it's very jewish
>>214146291i heard he was ethnic jew brought up gentiles or maybe the reverse
>>214142045he's calmer than you are dude.
>>214147742Just take it easy, man.Bridges is so great in the film. He’s so natural. Coen goys are virtually always cartoons but not Bridges.
>>214145521Wrong.
now that articles about "Dudeism" have mostly faded from our memory, and we've recovered from realizing "liking the Big Lebowski" does not make us unique or cool, The Big Lebowski is still a great movie.
>>214141917It ended
>>214142209Achtung, baybay
>>214141917It isn't 30 h and 40 m long.
>>214145521Just cuz we're bereaved doesn't make us fucking SAPS
