The Big Lebowski - Is the FUNNIEST Movie we ever seen!! - FIRST TIME REACTION

[@smokeyovertheline6394]

Years ago someone else remarked that as Donnie's ashes never touched the Pacific Ocean, even in the end he was out of his element.

[@timothymcinvale8852]

Donnie was the "rug" of the movie...he realy tied the whole thing together.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

Shut up, Donnie! ❤

[@DarthGeddy]

The movie was his element and he was so in it.

[@barrymorrow9316]

New shit’s come to light! 😂

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

I love that Lebowski never bowls in the whole movie.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Lebowski is proof that a movie can be both comfort food and spiritually nutritious.

[@Christobanistan]

"Donnie" was in Fargo just before this movie, in which his character just would not shut up. That's why he was in this one, and why Walter kept telling him to shut up. It also explains why Donnie had to die. :)

[@FilmBuff54]

Supposedly, this movie is the Coen Brothers take on a famous Raymond Chandler mystery novel, “The Big Sleep” which was made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. It was legendary for being convoluted and almost impossible to follow, but very atmospheric. This is the Coen Brothers stoner version of the same story.

[@andrewcrowder4958]

The Big Sleep is great, also The Maltese Falcon, and Casablanca, should these kids ever want to go on a Bogart run.

[@ednicholson7839]

Probably a parody of pretty much all Raymond Chandler novels though I havent read all of them

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Many of Chandler's novels were. He was constantly at odds with his clients, the cops and criminals - getting arrested, beat up (by cops and criminals) kidnapped now and then, and drugged (against his will) also.

[@bsjett]

I don't know if you figured it out - I haven't finished the video yet - but Maude's friend is indeed Lupin, David Thewlis.

[@standoughope]

His performance in Fargo season 3 is a must see. No one gave me the creeps like that since Kathy Bates in Misery.

[@Trapper50cal]

One of the nihilists is Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[@markmccollough1017]

There used to be an annual Big Lebowski party at a local theatre near me for a decade. They had standup comedians before and after the show and served white russians throughout. Such a fun event that I wish they kept going to this day as this is a fantastic movie to rewatch, especially with a crowd, and laugh all over again every time.

[@lisahumphries3898]

Watch this movie again in 15-20 years and you’ll get a different perspective on it. This is some of the best acting there is.

[@alexhaas9653]

Fantastic movie. Even the smallest role is written so well, so many great and unique characters. About Donny: Never missed a strike. Except the last one. Something was off then already, he felt something in his arm after the missed shot. A sign of an upcoming heart attack.

[@TheMadMurf]

The scene where they spread the ashes absolutely kills me 😂

[@donparnell309]

Yes! And Donnie was sacrificed to give us that scene.

[@markkringle9144]

I'm always like, what more can Walter screw up! Lol!

[@matthewstroud4294]

Jackie Treehorn's doodle is so clever, what else would be going on inside his mind other than smut 24/7.

[@Samuel8657]

Best moment in the movie imo. The one time The Dude gets an idea & takes initiative to collect a clue, and it’s totally pointless.

[@shamenbilly]

Maude's pregnancy really tied the movie together.

[@tobiahvega7611]

FYI, fun fact, all of the "Shut the f*** up, Donny" is said to be a reference to Buscemi's character in Fargo, who never shuts up.

[@asdfsffd-g9y]

Fargo the movie is a brilliant dark comedy crime movie.

[@Jumpman67]

I love this movie. I have an old dvd copy of it where the case is a plastic bowling ball.

[@gr8fullytedicated]

This film was part of a 3-film trilogy by the Coen Brothers, focusing on different parts of the US. This was LA; Fargo was the upper Midwest; and Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou was the deep south. The actor who played Donnie, and the one who played the pornstar/nihilist are central figures in Fargo. The actor who played Donnie in this one had so many lines in Fargo that the Coen Brothers decided to fix that in this one with Donnie getting told to Shut The *F* Up all the time. The actor who played Walter has a central scene in Oh, Brother--also a hilarious movie.

[@gr8fullytedicated]

@@arsmor1end1 You might be correct, but decades ago, I read an article in Rolling Stone that outlined the trilogy concept, and at the time it seemed pretty legit. I do agree that the Coens confirmed Oh, Brother was based on the Odyssey, which is easy to see in the film, based in the deep South.

[@louisenglish8069]

It's unreal the same directors who made this made No Country for Old Men, such talent. I realize many don't consider comedies masterpieces. However, I consider this movie a masterpiece.

[@domenicgalata1470]

I’d recommend an early Coen Bros film Miller’s Crossing ( 1991 ) a great film about gangsters and low life’s with a great cast. Highly recommended.

[@lynnturman8157]

I wouldn't trust a man who doesn't consider comedies masterpieces.

[@ednicholson7839]

The Coens mostly do two kinds of films - noirish crime films and zany comedies. Big Lebowski is unique in that it is a zany comedy that parodies the noir crime novels of Raymond Chandler (and the films based on them like The Big Sleep and The Long Goodbye). The other film that stands out as not being in either category is A Serious Man - which is amusing but hardly zany.

[@ChristopherRobinson-l5v]

@@domenicgalata1470 the entire Coen Brothers catalog is just varying degrees of very good to great. Not a single clunker.

[@ryanhill-u3z]

so can you do this please

[@jgfunk]

14:45 When Walter rolls out of the car and the gun goes off...that is one of the funniest scenes ever.

[@WithTwoFlakes]

11:50 Most folks don't pick up on the Dude listening to bowling. Unless they've bowled, many folks may not recognise the sound that a perfect strike makes. He's probably listening to a recording of a tourney that he'd played in as part of his preparation for the upcoming semi-finals. The Dude takes his bowling seriously 😎 26:40 It is Lupin from Harry Potter. 43:50 Donny unluckily rolls a 9, foreshadowing...

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This is so hilarious! It was actually written as an homage to Raymond Chandler and his convoluted cheap L.A. detective paperback crime melodramas from the '40s and '50s (Farewell My Lovely, The Long Goodbye, The Big Sleep...), featuring Private I. Phillip Marlowe, who was often caught between the cops, the criminals and even his own clients, as he suffered beatings, arrests, kidnappings and even drugged against his will now and then. And the 'Dude' abides.

[@david-j1r9m]

The Coen Brothers are fond of having characters that everyone likes die in their movies. Enjoyed the reaction, thanks.

[@zachgaskins3731]

Jeff Bridges revealed in an interview that during the Gutterballs sequence, due to him being sensitive and concerned about modesty , the dancing ladies (mostly strippers) decided to go without underwear for the final take, and caught him off guard!

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

No. They had underwear. They added a ton of fake hair down there as a joke.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Never apologize for NOT doing Hairy Potter. Never.

[@randyhodges8782]

You laughed in the right places. Not everybody does.

[@SteveInMaine207]

The board on the floor was such a brilliant idea for some comic relief. At first, he foolishly sets it up in the wrong direction to reinforce the door (which many people don't even notice), and then trips over his own failed security device on way back in. I agree though that the wrap up wasn't as tidy during the end, like did he ever get his rug replaced? LOL Did you know that it's become such a cult classic that there are many many yearly Lebowski conventions throughout the US and other countries where fans gather and dress up as the characters and rewatch it in a huge group.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

All Cohen Brothers movies are cool. Different genres. One of my favorites is Burn After Reading. Not a very long movie but dark humor and has an incredible cast.

[@user-dp9en7ir1y]

The message is that people like the Dude who are laid back and not super ambitious are usually also the people who dont step on others and dont cause harm to others.

Not only was Flea a nihilist, but the girl who lost her toe was Aimee Mann of the band 'Til Tuesday...famous song...Voices Carry.

[@robertmccauley754]

The reason The Dude is anti-Eagles is they're considered phonies in the country rock circuit and seen as the reason for commercialization entering the genre.

[@shanedavis2302]

Donnie not rolling a strike for the first time in the film was definite foreshadowing.

[@nochops1781]

During the making of the film Buscemi said to the directors this was the first film he had made where he lived to the end. They then rewrote the ending.

[@irakopilow9223]

This movie never gets old. The nihilist with the helmet that takes a ball to the gut was Flea, the bass player in Red Hot Chili Peppers.

apparently the lore is that the dude gets by with no job bc his grandfather was the inventor of the rubix cube. so..he gets occasional residuals!!😉

The only problem is the creator was from a country where he wouldn't have the last name Lebowski being from there and the bigger problem is the creator was still alive so there'd be no beneficiaries to his estate as he wasn't dead 😊LOL I believe the guys actually still alive now when was last January I think it was when I looked

Great reaction- you kind of alluded to it at the end and made me think: in a way, the entire build up during the movie stressing The Dude's nonchalant attitude was all just so that in the end, we actually believe he is someone who doesn't care enough to move out of the way when his friend's ashes are blowing all over him.

[@TheNyquilDriver]

There were a lot of "screwball" comedies in the 90s with one character who would say nothing the entire movie and then end up saving the day. Killing Donny off so unceremoniously was sort of a joke on that. It's pretty dark and doesn't always land with everyone, but it's actually pretty funny if you have the context.
