The Big Lebowski: Spotlight & Examination of Characters
The Big Lebowski (1998)
If there's a better film with Jeff Bridges in the leading role — I'm absolutely sure — I don't know what it is. 'The Big Lebowski' is a mind-bending, hilarity inducing, neo-noir crime-dramedy with nihilistic and absurd overtones, and some pretty absurd nihilists as well.
What I mean to say is this; the movie is bizarre – in the best kind of way.
The Coen. Bros directed this underground hit, which went on to become one of the most popular cult films ever made. 'The Big Lebowski' may even have spawned an entire culture of hipsters, ushering in the era of beard wax and men's shaving clubs. It's a film that screams "quirky" in a way that lets you know it's not f**cking around. If you expected a straight-up narrative with formulaic characters and archetypes, look somewhere else.
