This is How Movies Should Be Made

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Dreadfully Boring

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

There is no actor that would've worked as the Dude other than Jeff Bridges. He is perfect. This film is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. The convoluted plot that leads to ultimately to resolution opens the viewer's eyes to a more unique way of filmmaking. The more and more you watch this film, the more and more you enjoy it. It's great.

To make long story short, I don't understand what really matters in this film. The plot is rather simple, a lazy jobless middle-aged man living in Los Angels gets in trouble only because his name is identical to the another man who looks a millionaire but in fact lives by the money of the foundation that he represents. The plot may become interesting if the main characters have more concrete biography and have a will to live their life in such so that it would become better than the total wasting of time. But what the authors made of the plot is the contrary. No one of the characters has a will to live otherwise, that is, they want to live only as lazy dogs with no positive or creative purpose. Their sense of justice and sense of duty is lower than average , their desire to have a lot of money without working is not motivated by any thought-out view of the world, and as a result they look very flat and boring people. Here the simple plot is played by very boring people and authors' effort to make simple boring story look interesting resulted in an empty demonstration of cheep and disconnected images (visions of daydreams of the main character). Sorry, but I feel no sympathy for dose lazy and healthy guys only playing but not living.

This is the best movie of all time, and I knew this right after I watched it. It's just perfect. Everything in this movie is perfect, the characters are outright interesting from the Dude who manages to keep his head cool by adhering to a strict drug regimen, his buddies, the hot-headed but hilarious Walter and clueless Donny, the other characters, Maude, Bunny, Jackie Treehorn, Jesus Quintana are also very interesting and add their own flavor to the movie. The whole story is a sort of whodunit mystery which turns out to be a much ado about nothing, much like life itself - and it was this hard hitting conclusion which made me realize that this is perhaps the best movie ever made.

If The Big Lebowski is a comedy, then why did it fail to make me laugh out loud? Sure, I chuckled at one scene that I can recall, but on the whole, it didn't make me laugh and I didn't find it to be all that funny. While The Big Lebowski may be a big hit with some, it wasn't with me. Pass.
