Walter's character was inspired by Hollywood director & screenwriter John Milius, or at least on the public image Milius cultivated over his years in Hollywood. If you put a picture of Goodman as Walter next to a period shot of Milius, the resemblance is uncanny.

I heard the Walter character (John Goodman) was loosely based on the writer/director John Milius, who supposedly carried a pistol and used to freak out the movie people with his antics.

[@jubelbrosseau7966]

Glad you loved it! It’s one of the few films that gets better with every viewing because the real star is the script: the wordplay, for example the fact that certain phrases repeat in different contexts (“this aggression will not stand, man!”), is genius throughout. Bridges has said that he almost never rewatches his own films but if he catches this one before it gets to Turturro’s first Jesus scene, he has to watch at least long enough to see that brilliant cameo.

[@Zigmond303]

You're so right, every aspect of this movie is brilliant filmmaking. It's a crime Bridges wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It's no coincidence that Steve Buscemi's character in Fargo never stopped talking, but in Lebowski (2 yrs later) rarely said a word! Coen Bros are amazing. True Grit and Burn After Reading are underrated!

[@GarethCassidy]

Loved you review. I was lucky to see this gem in the theatre in Norway when it came out. The poster had a sticker that read "Recommended by the Norwegian Bowling Association". What's great about this movie is that even the actors with tiny roles get a chance to shine. Like the cab driver, the detective, and the police officer where he picks up his car. There are so many memorable one-liners in this film, but my favorite is when Pilar says "Oh no....he got health problem". Biggest understatement ever !!

[@classiclife7204]

Speaking of writers, the actors followed the script to the last 'uh" and f-word. That bit where Bridges is fumfering around in the Big Lebowski's limousine? "What am I blathering about?" etc? Word for word. I was shocked that there were virtually no ad-libs in a movie that seems to consist only of ad-libs. The Coens were incredible screenwriters. They need to get back together, dang it. Anyway, GREAT review!

[@Hexon66]

One of the most obvious observations people make is the repetition of language, and essentially The Dude being an empty vessel regurgitating phrases he's only just recently heard. How does that seem ad-libbed? Having a tight script is absolutely necessary to the film.

[@holddowna]

i love when writers and directors are crazy about dialogue.. i know aaron sorkin is that way.. its hard as hell to be word perfect as an actor... but when its scripts like this you must respect it! because its meant to told a certain way!

​@@holddownaon the West Wing Weekly podcast they mentioned an incident where the word "the" was typed twice in the script, and most believed it was just a typo, but it being a Sorkin script, they eventually decided to call Sorkin to be absolutely sure. It turned out to be a typo.

[@Lingonberrypancake]

A couple of fun facts; Jeff Bridges claimed The Dude was pretty much who he'd been in the 1970s. He asked the Coen brothers after reading the script "Did you guys hang out with me in high school?" An inspiration for the character of Walter is the Coen Brothers' friend, writer and director John Milius, with his obsession with all things militaristic, and an enthusiasm for guns, claims to be obsessed with the Vietnam War and also has very similar look to Walter himself. One of the nihilists was played by the bassist from Red Hot Chili Peppers. There are a number of fan theories also, one is about The Dude being The big Lebowski's Son. After the older Lebowski fathered an illegitimate son with his housemaid, she threatened to reveal their relationship to his wife. He pays her to keep quiet, and The Dude's mom uses this payment to create a trust fund for her son wich would explain why the Dude can do everything he does all day without having a real job.. Another theory is about Donny being a figment of Walter's imagination. "Walter is struggling with PTSD after his service in the Vietnam War, and Donny was perhaps a friend that he lost who Walter is now able to see and interact with. This theory is supported by the fact that, save for a few subtle occasions, Walter is the only one that interacts with Donny." One theory suggests Walter is hallucinating all of his friends' presence. "His delusions are aided by the people who work and bowl at the alley." The friends representing his fractured self; The Dude being a "laid back, easy-going old Stoner". "Donny represents Walters childhood naiveté. He is constantly out of his element, always confused, easily frightened and anxiety ridden."

[@joeshmoe5193]

The greatest tidbit I knew of was that the Dude was supposedly the heir to the Rubik's cube fortune, which explains how he has an apartment while clearly lacking a job. Coens left it out of the movie but that would've been amazing

My favorite thing everybody misses is that the actor with a shaved head that's giggling with Maude also played Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies. And nobody ever recognizes him in this. Sadly, that gorgeous bowling alley was destroyed by fire shortly after filming. And John Goodman showed up at the unveiling of Jeff's Walk Of Fame star as Walter. AWESOME.

[@holddowna]

I totally missed it!

He also plays the Knight Hospitaller in Kingdom of Heaven. My favorite role of his

[@mark_of_patmos]

He is also the shady businessman with the terrible teeth in Fargo Season 3.

Absolutely top ten film of all time!

[@aarondonald1611]

One of the best comedies ever made

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

If you watch with the idea that Donnie is a PTSD figment of Walter's imagination, it makes Walter look so much more sad 😂

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

PTSD from combat doesn't work like that.

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 Sure, but this is a movie. It was a question posed to the trio during like a 25th anniversary interview with The Dude, Walter and Donnie. Besides, Walter might have issues other than just your run of the mill combat PTSD 😂

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

@@Nicolas.Vincent I'll give you that. I was a Medic in Iraq in the 3ID. I earned the CMB. Combat trauma doesn't make you hallucinate, it makes you withdraw.

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 I'm a sufferer of the ailment myself. I realize, but it's hilarious to think The Dude is just so patiently tolerant of whatever psychosis is making him talk to Donnie, or causing Donnie to talk to him. It's a comedy man! Just trying to have a laugh. I've been a fan of the film since it's release, just a different way of watching after the 500th time. Ya know!?

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

@@Nicolas.Vincent Being in combat is very, very weird. It's horror and constant vigilance. I've tried to describe my combat experiences for thirty years and can't.

Band of Brothers?

[@holddowna]

Yep

[@xristosmiaoulis447]

Love this reaction! :D though many student nights of playing "The Big Lebowski" drinking game! Everytime i hear "dude" makes me eye twitch. lol

[@OnTheOnlyShipButHalfWannaSink]

Great job, I subscribed. My fav lines: Da Fino finally meets Dude and says “I’m a brother shamus”, and Dude’s reply “An Irish monk?” Edit: ps, I recommend Bridge of Spies - Hanks starring, Spielberg helming, Coen Bros writing.

[@john195223]

Quite possibly the funniest movie of all time. Love the Cohen Brothers! Great filmmakers

You claim to love the Coen Brothers but can't even get their name right. Strange...

Aww listen to you ......yer Ramblin again.....😊 This movie is a movie you have to watch MORE than once. You start seeing MORE of the jokes in it. When laughing is done as much as you did. You miss so much. For me: Bunny: He's a nihilist! The Dude: that must be exhausting.......KILLS me everytime.......

Love that!

I've always said that was my favorite line. I was so stoked when Buscemi said in an interview it was his as well
