The Dude, His Dudeness, Duder, El Duderino..
Watch it with a couple of White Russians.. An exceptional, surreal mystery woven around the one true pasttime: bowling. The Coen brothers finally succeeded where ABC and ESPN 2 have failed, they've made bowling truly look good.. Of course, the bowling alone is not the strong point of this movie; the script, performances, and direction make this a masterpiece.... If you are easily offended, stop reading now. If you want the same old info about the movie, scroll down. But if you want a review that's different, keep reading. This is my ode to one of the funniest movies ever made. If you don't like it, that is fine, as Im kind of partial to it. "The Big Lebowski " was produced by brothers Joel and Ethan Cohen who brought the world "Raising Arizona " and "Fargo ". Their movies can fairly be described as, say quirky... Outlandish characters and bizarre plots and situations abound. "Big Lebowski " is no exception. The Dude is played by Jeff Bridges. He's a hippy gone to seed.. The center of The Dude's life is the local bowling alley.. His league teammates are Walter (John Goodman), a slightly crazy Vietnam vet, more than slightly, actually, and meek surfer-boy Donny (Steve Buscemi). Other than the league championships, The Dude cares about little beside beating their rivals in the upcoming semi-finals.. Until the fateful night when goons sent by porno king Jackie Treehorn stuff The Dude's head down the toilet and pee on his rug.. They want the money that Bunny Lebowski, Jeffery Lebowski's ex-porn star wife (Tara Reid), owes..... One problem, the Lebowski they're looking for is the other Lebowski, the Big Lebowski, the millionaire in the wheelchair who lives on the other side of town (David Huddleston ). Oops The Dude sets out on a quest for justice for his lost rug. Oh, well. Can't have it all. I've been rather discreet with some details in this reviews, because this films surprises deserve to remain so. Fans of the film who are reading this, will notice that I didn't even mention one of the movies biggest pleasures, John Turturro as a Latin bowler named Jesus ( at least I didn`t mention it until now, d'oh! ) 【John Goodman】Big Lebowski【Jeff Bridges】 F* It Dude, Let's Go Bowling Three guys walk into a bowling alley and ? No, wait. Two guys walk into a bowling alley and then the third guy "Shut the f**k up, you miserable piece of? " The alley is in L.A., the City of Angels. I didn't find it to be that, exactly. Just listen up to this stupifying tale of this gr8 bunch of people. One of them is The Dude. That's his name, The Dude. Oh okay, he wasn't born with it, but big deal. Here we have a guy with a real grip on his life. A "conscientious objector," The Dude is a pacifist. The Dude is also a bowler. He certainly has his own way of doing things. He has his own drink. He has his own style, and he loves Creedence. The Dude is the dude?s dude. He has an endless supply of "J's" and fire's 'em up seemingly anytime. Don't be surprised if you find him channeling his Chi while sipping on a white russian and listens to some good old tune... Whether he's dealing with When he is fussing with the "rug-pi$$er " (although they pee on his f**king rug? ) or the "kidnapper " Nihilists (who threaten to "cut off his johnson," no less ) and their "nice marmuk ," he is the man. But when it comes to Walter - who I will get to in a moment - he is barely able to control his temper. Funny how friends affect each other. But he Walter ("Walter, Man, I love ya, but sooner or later you're just going to have to realize you're an a$$hole!?" ). On the sidelines is one of the most memorable characters, Jesus, played with consummate skill by John Tuturro. Jesus is another one who must be seen to be believed...and John Goodman plays off the one chink in Jesus' campy armor with ruthless, brutal force in a flashback reminiscent of Kevin Smith.... look for the line : "Eight-year-olds, dude ." You will never hear "Hotel California " the same way again. I came away from "The Big Lebowski " the same way I do from every Cohen Brothers movie. It's going Mach Nine on a roller-coaster with no safety bars, surrounded by the cast of Tod Browning's "Freaks " wearing foam-rubber cowboy hats and screaming : "WOO HOO!! DON'T SPARE THE HORSES!! " In other words, exhilarating, many flavors of WRONG, and ultimately a blast. Not everyone will get the same level of intensity, obviously... but in a general sense, "The Big Lebowski " is a subtly crafted and perfectly timed model of its form. "The Big Lebowski " is meant for those who their humor a little on the dry and dark side. If you don't this movie, fine; there are plenty of others out there who hate it too. If you this movie, give me a call sometime, so we can trade quotes from the film. お気に入りの記事を「いいね!」で応援しよう
