John Goodman as Walter is one of my all-time favorite performances by an actor. Especially in the end when he apologizes with his head down in shame, showing his vulnerability for the first time, then awkwardly hugs the Dude. The scene is like a bittersweet acceptance that life is cruel, you have no control, terrible things happen and there's nothing you can do about, but flawed as we both are, at least we have each other... and bowling. Let's go bowling.

You can tell Walter is one of those guys who never apologizes, not because he cannot, but because he thinks he is "always right." And swears he he would be perfectly willing to apologize, should he ever make a mistake. So in the ashes scene, he looks like he is trying to prove wrong, everybody who ever said he was incapable of admitting he was wrong.

Except there really was no meaning or even destination to this, and that's a huge part of the humor. None of the elements of the plot wound up mattering and everyone is still exactly where they were at the beginning. Even the most consequential event, Donny dying, arguably isn't even consequential. As the running joke with Donny is that he's basically the pointless friend in the background that doesn't even really matter. Walter is always telling him to shut the fuck up, and he never impacts the plot in any way. He's just kind of there. So when he's gone, its not that much different from when he's there. Really this is just one big satire accomplished via character wrapped up in a parody of film noir. I guess in that sense you can say the journey has meaning. The journey has meaning in its lack of meaning lol.

Two fun facts: 1. Sam Elliot was also really confused about why he was in the movie. 2. Walter's character is based upon conservative screenwriter/director John Milius. He was in a set with Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas at USC before they all became Hollywood personages. Milius wrote the script for "Apocalypse Now," and he was on the set with his friend Coppola. When Martin Sheen was unable to show the proper frightened emotion in a scene after several takes, Milius pulled out his gun and placed it on the table close to Sheen. On the next take, Sheen successfully gave the director what he was looking for. Anyway, Milius wrote the screenplays for films like the Dirty Harry series, The Wind and the Lion, Jeremiah Johnson, and Clear and Present Danger, among others. He also both wrote and directed Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn.

Something a lot of people miss in Lebowski is that it IS a “Western.” It’s just set on the pacific coast in the late-20th century instead of being set in the interior west 120 years prior. It’s contextualized. All the beats and the mystery play out like an epic Western. That’s also why Sam Elliot is in it. The Corn’s explored this idea again in recontextualizing Ancient Greek epics in the 20th century American South for O Brother Where Art Thou… Incidentally, their best film, in my opinion.

I've seen this movie hundreds of times and it never fails to make me laugh.

Also! I once went to a friend's birthday party, which was a costume party with The Big Lebowski as the theme. We drank white Russians only, had the movie on repeat, had the soundtrack on, and did hallway bowling 😂 The costumes were so much fun, pretty much you only had to go to the thrift store. I was Maude from Gutterballs (I made my own Viking helmet and bowling ball bra out of aluminum foil), my husband was Walter (and he had the perfect facial hair at the time for it). We also had a Dude (of course), Bunny, Jackie Treehorn, the Nihilists, Donny, regular Maude, the landlord during his dance recital, Brant, Jesus, and The Stranger (the narrator ish guy with the mustache, the iconic Sam Elliott).

The accent also goes by various other names. Most notably the Transatlantic Accent, but also Good American Speech, Eastern Standard, American Theater Standard or American stage speech. It was taught in acting schools like Juilliard. It was favored in early radio and movies because recording equipment was limited on the bass end of the spectrum and the nasal quality of the accent was better reproduced on more primitive equipment.

I lived in LA from 73 to 2000 and this is exactly what it was like. Everyone was stoned all the time and doing totally weird things and it all seemed normal. Like the abnormal became normal. That's what the narrator meant when he said The Dude was exactly the right person for that time. So I guess you could say this movie was about Los Angeles and Lebowski was just the prototypical person living in the city at that time. I love the way the narrator in the opening scene is talking with a western accent and you think he's talking about Texas or somewhere with cowboys and then they show a view of Los Angeles at night from up in the hills. I lived up in the hills and I loved driving into the city at night and seeing it all lit up and spread out like a box of jewels. It was a special time and place and all of us who were living in it at the time were Lebowskis and I guess that's why I can so relate to this movie. And of course, Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors. And not only is he a great actor but the movies he has stared in are all such classics going back to his early films like Cutter's Way, Rancho Deluxe and also Wild Bill and the more recent remake of True Grit. Just start at the beginning and watch them all there isn't a bad one in the batch.

What a delightful reaction! One very small detail … Maude’s accent. I think it’s meant to be what was called a “Mid Atlantic” accent. It’s a nearly artificial accent that in the 1920s through 50s was very deliberately taught to upper class Americans and most people in the entertainment industry. It was supposed to be a “sophisticated” accent for Americans, with a bit of British influence. Actors from that era like Cary Grant and Bette Davis had that accent. And Maude having it signals that she’s rich, from “old money.” But in this case I think it’s also supposed to be another layer of funny, since her accent is so out of date for the 1990s. So it added to her overall eccentricity.

Yes, it's also a common character trait from detective-noir stories. The Coens dared to ask, "What if we transposed a hard-boiled detective story to early-'90s LA, but made our 'detective' a Hippie burnout with no real interest in the case beyond replacing a valued piece of home decor?" and then proceeded to smash it out of the fucking park. The Hudsucker Proxy, also by the Coens (written in collaboration with Sam Raimi), features a fast-talking 1940s NYC reporter with a Mid-Atlantic accent. Jennifer Jason Leigh gives a fantastic performance. I wonder what KZbin reactors will make of The Hudsucker Proxy when they get around to it.

When this came out in 1998, I missed it, and a few months later went to a video rental shop where I read the VHS box description. There were no quotes or ratings on it, so I figured it must be pretty bad. It was only after my brother called, and enthusiastically told me to see it immediately that I discovered how magnificent this comedy is. Now I figure the reason the reviews were indifferent (or nonexistent) was because of all the profanity - which only adds to the humor. One of my favorite films of all time - none better.

You conclude by saying "I think I need to watch this again..." So true! Watch it once a year or once every year. It holds up so, so well. And yes, you do notice things you never noticed before. For instance, when The Dude first meets Bunny at the poolside, have a close look at the guy who is sunning himself in the pool. Also, you'll find yourself laughing at things you didn't notice were funny in any prior viewing. Another insightful comment from you is to question if the plot really matters all that much. Not truly, right? One very, very peculiar thing about this movie is that it is almost entirely character study. The plot is just an excuse for all of these characters to express themselves to their fullest.
