The Big Lebowski	comment	The Big Lebowski is a 1998 Cult Classic directed by The Coen Brothers. It's a bit hard to describe, but let's call it a Film Noir parody.Jeff Bridges stars as a lazy and useless slacker named Jeffrey Lebowski, who prefers to be known as "The Dude". One night, a pair of thugs break into his house, dunk him in the toilet, and pee on his rug, mistaking him for a local millionaire, also named Jeffrey Lebowski (David Huddleston, the eponymous "Big" Lebowski). Said millionaire, who denies compensation for the aforementioned rug, ends up recruiting the Dude to help in the negotiations for his kidnapped wife, Bunny (Tara Reid), and that's when the plot takes off.This being a Coen Brothers movie, though, the plot isn't important. The driving force within the movie is the collection of various, bizarre, main and secondary (and tertiary!) characters, almost all of whom seem to come from completely different movies.Despite being a disappointment at the box office and initially getting a mixed reception from critics, The Big Lebowski has become one of the biggest cult classics in modern film history, to the point that it has a yearly festival dedicated to it, both in America and England. Critics nowadays also look upon it far more kindly as a modern comedy classic.In 2019, John Turturro reprised his role and directed a spinoff called The Jesus Rolls, a Foreign Remake of 1970s French film Les Valseuses.

The Big Lebowski / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
The Big Lebowski / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Walter is a walking example of this trope, despite supposedly serving in Vietnam, and presumably having been trained in gun handling. Notable examples include threatening someone else with a Colt M1911A1, and, in doing so, racking the slide with his finger on the trigger. There is also the incident with the disguised Uzi submachine gun while Walter and the Dude were trying to make the handoff at the bridge. And yet, when Walter's done holding someone at gunpoint over an alleged bowling foul, he unloads the pistol by removing the magazine and then racking the slide to clear the chamber. Even so, rather than point it in a safe direction while doing this, he instead points it at half of the people in the bowling alley.

Walter was partially based on the director, screenwriter, and gun enthusiast John Milius, who is a good friend of the Coen Brothers. Jackie Treehorn appears to be based, in part, on adult entertainment kingpins Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner.

The Big Lebowski / int_1bcfe069	comment	Absurdism: One of the more triumphant modern-day examples, full of offbeat comedy and convoluted plot twists that turn out to signify nothing much in particular. The latter elements are one of several ideas cribbed from The Big Sleep, which the film is named after and to which it serves as a very loose homage. The film also shares some other aspects of the movement, including quirky, repetitive but still naturalistic dialogue and the portrayal of established institutions as empty and corrupt. The Dude himself can be and has been held up as something of an Anti-Nihilist hero: lazy, unmotivated, and bound to no higher purpose, but still kind, loyal, and open to endless possibilities. There's also the random swerve into a musical...

Although Dude's theory that Lebowski used Bunny's "kidnapping" as an excuse to embezzle money is very plausible, it's never outright confirmed by any of the related parties. The closest thing to any form of solid evidence is The Big Lebowski's reaction to Dude and Walter's accusation. He doesn't seem fazed nor does he even bother denying it, but instead simply counters with a "your word against mine" retort.

The Big Lebowski / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: While the Dude and Walter bicker in the car after Walter pulled a gun on Smokey, you can see cops pull into the lot and run into the bowling alley in response to the incident being called in. What makes this funnier is that the Dude and Walter's conversation makes it clear they played an entire game that took at least an hour, perfectly reflecting California cops' tendencies towards taking their sweet time. You can also see Bunny, presumably as high as a weather balloon on drugs, happily prancing around naked outside in the background while the Dude and Walter confront Brandt on their way to see Lebowski. When Walter and the Dude talk, Donny remains in the background but still "participates" in the scene with Facial Dialogue alone, usually the vivid and amusing kind. When Walter pulls a gun, Donny promptly stands up and puts some safe distance between him and the unfolding events.

The Dude, in full sneaky investigator mode, grabs the notepad and shades it with the side of a pencil to highlight the impression made on the next sheet of paper. It turns out to be an anatomically exaggerated picture of a man and his...manhood.

The Big Lebowski / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: Mixed with Mythology Gag and Production Posse: Detective Da Fino, the PI hired to find Bunny Lebowski and played by Jon Polito, expresses his admiration of The Dude's apparent playing one side against the other throughout the movie. In Miller's Crossing, Jon Polito plays a mob boss who is victim to and absolutely hates a double-cross. Walter's oft-repeated line "shut the fuck up Donny!" is precisely written because Buscemi's character wouldn't shut up in Fargo. John Turturro played a paederast in a play called Mi Puta Vida, which the Coens said directly inspired his character here. Walter's home security business works under the slogan "Peace of Mind". In Barton Fink, John Goodman's character says he sells peace of mind. Peter Stormare's character sits in the diner with the group of nihilists and all of them order pancakes. His character in Fargo was very insistent on getting pancakes as well. Jeff Bridges wears the same baseball t-shirt in The Fisher King.

In addition, Big Lebowski gets traumatized by Walter for his swindle, the irritating nihilists won't harass the Dude anymore, and the Dude won't take the fall for Bunny's disappearance like the Big Lebowski planned.

While not necessarily all being heroes, pretty much everyone the Dude encounters seems to have their own movie going on just off-screen, most of which are different genres — sometimes within the same 'film'. In addition to Da Fino, Jackie Treehorn and Bunny have a conflict going on over money that she owes him — he acts as if he's the powerful crime lord in a thriller, whereas her side of it is more some kind of "Country Mouse comes to town and falls into problems with sex and drugs" narrative, along with some pornography. Maude and the Big Lebowski have a conflict over the family businesses and embezzlement happening, with Maude also having her own kind of weird European art-film going on at the same time. With his bowling league, the Dude himself also has a sports film happening at the same time as the main film, along with Walter and Donny, which he's far more interested in and devoted to. Perhaps appropriately, however, we never get to see any of it, but we do get to meet the Opposing Sports Team in the form of Jesus Quintana.

Possibly a subversion since you never see his tears, which may indicate that either he knows Bunny just went off on her own for a bit or he doesn't actually care about her. He sheds a few real ones when Walter tosses him to the floor, but by then we know he's not really a strong man anyway.

The Dude adds Maude's "in the parlance of our times" line to his "young trophy wife" when he is summoned again by The Big Lebowski.

On further analysis, the check is postdated. Walter's first scene is conversing with the Dude about the first home invasion and spouting off various theories and odd phrases in-between shouting at Donnie, showcasing his Cloudcuckoolander personality with a Hair-Trigger Temper and an inability to not stop talking about violence, befitting his veteran status. Donny's first scene is him scoring a perfect strike while bowling then immediately being ignored or berated by Walter when he asks what's going on, establishing his bowling skills and background character status. The Big Lebowski's first real appearance has him berating the Dude for asking for compensation and insulting him for being a bum, all while talking about how amazing, hardworking, and successful he is. Maude is introduced performing some sort of ridiculous, self-styled painting method, then awkwardly and nonchalantly asking the Dude if he enjoys sex before going on a small rant about how men are uncomfortable with sex, establishing herself as avant-garde and an opinionated feminist.

Considering the context, he is most likely actually quoting Cicero's noteactually Lucius Cassius Longinus Ravilla's, but the quote became so well-known because Cicero often cited it in his speeches "Cui bono?"("to whose benefit?") who used it in the sense "Who benefits from the crime?"; Lenin would later quote Cicero.

The Big Lebowski / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Big Lebowski / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The line "The Dude abides" is an echo of Rachel's closing line "They abide, and they endure" in The Night of the Hunter. Walter's emphasis on the simplicity of his plan is likely a shoutout to the film A Simple Plan, given that its director, Sam Raimi, is friends with the Coens. Walter is constantly telling Donny to shut up, which is a reference to Fargo, another Coen Brothers film in which Steve Buscemi's character would not shut up. Da Fino drives a VW Beetle, like fellow private eye Loren Visser from the Coens' 1984 thriller Blood Simple. Da Fino's car looks better than Visser's though, reflecting their respective morality: while Visser is a double-crossing Psycho for Hire and the main antagonist, Da Fino does nothing worse than tailing the Dude in the hope that he'll lead him to Bunny, so he can talk her into going home to her parents. Uli Kunkel's band Autobahn is a huge nod to Kraftwerk, not just because of the lookalike cover, but also "Autobahn" is the title of one of Kraftwerk's best-known songs. After Da Fino shows The Dude a picture of Bunny, The Dude says, "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Karl Hungus?", a reference to the song, "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)?" The farm in question is in Moorhead, Minnesota, which is the twin city of Fargo, North Dakota. "I'm as Jewish as fuckin' Tevye!" The Dude is driving while smoking a joint, drops it on his lap, burns himself, tries to put out by pouring beer on it, while swerving the car around, just like the final scene of Up in Smoke. Maude's video artist friend is an Ed Wood clone. The search for the Dude's car leads him, Walter and Donny to Arthur Digby Sellers, a fictional writer who is said to have written over 150 episodes of the Western TV series Branded (1965) (which in real life only ran for two seasons totaling 48 episodes). Shout-Out to Shakespeare: Amusingly, one thug pronounces "Ever thus to deadbeats" while defacing the rug, as in Sic Semper Tyrannis. Likewise, Walter's "Good Night, Sweet Prince" in Donny's eulogy.

The Big Lebowski / int_c85c6d21	comment	Knight, Knave, and Squire: Though this movie is not an action movie in the traditional sense, Walter, the Dude and Donny fit this trope surprisingly well (as Knight, Knave and Squire, respectively). note Interestingly, Adam Bertocci's fan tribute Two Gentlemen of Lebowski (which rewrites the movie as a Shakespearean comedy) makes them fit the trope literally. The Dude is reimagined as a ne'er-do-well called "The Knave", Walter is the hot-tempered knight "Sir Walter of Poland", and Donny is his timid companion "Sir Donald of Greece". Walter is a fiercely patriotic and devoutly religious veteran soldier who always brings the guns into every tough situation, and always charges headfirst into every problem. The Dude is a laid-back aging hippy with no loyalty to anything but his own petty self-interest, and he prefers to talk his way out of every situation. Donny is just an average guy with no interest in crime or intrigue, and he spends most of the movie completely out of his depth.

In addition to Da Fino, Jackie Treehorn and Bunny have a conflict going on over money that she owes him — he acts as if he's the powerful crime lord in a thriller, whereas her side of it is more some kind of "Country Mouse comes to town and falls into problems with sex and drugs" narrative, along with some pornography. Maude and the Big Lebowski have a conflict over the family businesses and embezzlement happening, with Maude also having her own kind of weird European art-film going on at the same time.

The Big Lebowski / int_ce9da072	type	Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic
The Big Lebowski / int_ce9da072	comment	Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Used to play up the contrast between the "regular people" and the "film characters". Characters who are obviously played as characters don't stutter, and engage in dialogue - Maude, in particular, speaks like she's just stepped out of an old movie. Characters played as regular people thrust into a movie plot - like the Dude - have conversations, with all the attendant "ums" and misunderstandings. Best demonstrated by this exchange between the Dude and the Big Lebowski: It was like that in the script - everything but "you human paraquat" was scripted. The Coens are known for being pretty insistent that lines be delivered exactly as written. Maude's line "Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, and proud we are of all of them" is delivered in trochaic and then iambic tetrameter, both to hammer home how alien she is to the Dude and to catch the audience's ear, so we'll notice that she's about to reveal the plot twist.

The Big Lebowski / int_de9047ac	comment	Gambit Pileup: First, Jackie Treehorn plans on blackmailing the Big Lebowski over his new wife's debts all over town, but his goons instead get the wrong Lebowski... ...which then leads to the Big Lebowski, upon seeing the Dude come to him for a new rug, wrangle the Dude into a plot to get back his kidnapped wife by having him deliver the ransom money to the kidnappers, a gang of German nihilists. (The Dude himself manages to trick the Big Lebowski's major-domo into giving him a rug.) Walter promptly muscles in on the plan by replacing the ransom bag with used underwear and taking the ransom money for himself and the Dude. Said ransom money is stolen, but it turns out to be some asshole teenager. This causes the Big Lebowski to sic the kidnappers, a gang of German nihilists, on him, who promptly latch on to the Dude as their ticket to a payday. The rug the Dude gets is promptly stolen by Maude Lebowski, the Big Lebowski's estranged daughter, who wants him to recover the money that the Big Lebowski apparently stole from her mother's charity foundation. The Dude himself gets stolen by Treehorn's goons, who try to work him for information, and vice versa. All the Dude gets is a drawing of a giant dick. It then turns out that the Big Lebowski used the kidnapping to embezzle more funds from the charity foundation, and it was likely the ransom bag that the Big Lebowski gave to the Dude was empty in the first place. He might have gotten away with it if Maude didn't happen to be courting the Dude to be a sperm donor, and the post-donation discussion revealed that the Big Lebowski is flat broke. The kidnapping was his opportunity to blame any embezzled funds on paying ransom.

The Big Lebowski / int_e84a7d27	comment	Genre Refugee: All of the characters seem to have stumbled into this movie from different ones and consequently don't seem to be quite sure of exactly what kind of movie they're in. In addition to the Stranger's confusion over whether this is a Western or not: The Dude's walked right out of a stoner comedy or a 1960s New Hollywood-style counterculture flick. Walter acts like he's in a Vietnam drama that chronicles the veteran's harrowing struggle to reacclimatize back into civilian society after everything he's seen and done. The Big Lebowski, Maude, Jackie Treehorn and Da Fino seem to think and act like they're playing a Film Noir straight (and even manage to convince Walter of this for a time). The nihilists believe they're in a quirky-but-dark Tarantino-inspired Euroshlock crime thriller about a gang of eccentric Villain Protagonists, and that they're the protagonists in question. Bunny's dialogue and attitude is essentially a porn movie starlet. The Jesus mashes up Latin Lover comedies with being the Opposing Sports Team personified. Donny is just an ordinary guy who thinks he's in a slightly eccentric bowling team but has an otherwise normal life, and at worst, thinks he's in a normal sports film. He's probably the most wrong out of all of them. And on top of all that, there's a comically Westernesque narrator.

The Big Lebowski / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Walter and Donny praise the In-N-Out Burger in North Hollywood where the Dude located the kid who stole his car. After the Dude's car gets trashed by an angry neighbor, we cut to the three heroes riding in the car with Walter and Donny eating burgers. When filing a police report for both his stolen rug and car, The Dude mentions that his tape deck and "the Creedence" were also taken. When he later goes to retrieve his car from the LAPD impound, the officer remarks that he was lucky the thief left "the tape deck and the Creedence", indicating that was that the other cop took down verbatim on his report. Walter brags about filling the ransom bag with his dirty laundry, "the whites". When confronting the Big Lebowski, he rants at the greedy bastard... then politely asks for his undies back.

The Big Lebowski / int_fe3bf3a4	type	Four-Man Band
The Big Lebowski / int_fe3bf3a4	comment	Four-Man Band: Only Sane Man: The Dude. Despite being a Lazy Bum, he's the most level-headed of the main characters, and the one with the clearest understanding of what's really going on (sort of). The Smart Guy: The Stranger. Is Older and Wiser than the other characters, but acts like he belongs in a completely different movie and couldn't even keep his fauxlosophy straight. The Big Guy: Walter. A Fat Bastard whose Hair-Trigger Temper exasperates already bad situations. Butt-Monkey: Donny, even more so than the Dude. A Kindhearted Simpleton who is constantly betrated even by his own friends, and dies from a heart attack after the Final Battle with the Nihilists.
