Dude Meets With Maude

After being clocked by Maude's henchmen, and having his new rug repossessed, Dude meets with Maude, the raging, sexy feminist daughter of the Big Lebowski.

Julianne Moore's Mid-Atlantic accent is perfect. She captures its original essence while accommodating phrases like "banging Jackie Treehorn, to use the parlance of our times" in hilarious fashion.

[@dansv1]

She has said “It’s not an accent, it’s an affectation”. That was part of Maude’s character.

[@PrimarchX]

I see it as an homage to the 'classy' women characters portrayed in old '40s noir films. Her affectation aids in setting a noir vibe in a movie about a slacker looking for his rug.

[@samstone011995]

@@alexmeyer6958 thats arguable. Lebowski is not egoless for sure, but he is actually not really that far from his true self.

He was just drawn into it.

i have loved this movie since ‘97. watched it countless times alone, with friends, quoted it to all- young and old alike. but! just now- for the first time- watching this scene- am i thunderstruck with the realization that Maude has a soft spot in her heart for the dude, who shares the exact same name as her father’s. So she eventually engages in some zesty coitus with Jeffery Lebowski- and insists on calling him Jeffery, not his dudeness, or dude-arino- et al. Maude, you a complicated feminist.

I became friend with a woman, a few months ago, during summer vacations, and she invited me to her home. A few days later, we had another night, talking and spending time together, when she suddenly jumped from her sit and ran into her room. I thought I made something wrong, yet I overheard her singing moments later, so I took patience instead and waited in the living room. I'm not an english-speaking person, but I understood some of the lyrics. It was a nice song, though, like an invocation/salute to the moon, or the ones we sing for children, before bedtime, and she had a lovely feminine voice. When she had finished, I came to check, and she looked absolutly fine, in her room. < So ? Invocation stuff is done with success ? < Yes. < I couldn't stop listening, though I didn't understood all of it. Yet it sounded like english. < It was. < About ? < The moon, and women and children, mostly. < Ah. So, you're having your period, then ? < Yes. It was a bit weird, yet very poetic and touching, but I couldn't stop thinking about that Maude Liebowsky scene. The character and my friend have a lot in common, and not only about the "vaginal art".
