The Big Lebowski Analysis

Improved Essays
One film I watched is called The Big Lebowski. In the beginning a guy is opening a milk carton at the supermarket. I felt the leading character is a rebel because he does what he wants. If it were me I wouldn’t have imagine myself doing that. When the male character comes home and he ends up getting his head stuffed through the toilet. He happens to owe money to some guy and the “guy” end up peeing on his rug out of nowhere. I felt surprised of how the scene went from relax to serious tone. It’s like, “ what is going on here and why are you peeing on the dude’s favorite rug.” The guy who did it to him made me felt disgusted by his actions. Apparently there are two Lebowski’s one who is unemployed and calls himself the “dude”. The another Lebowski is a professional old man. I ended up finding that the old man pretends to be rich which I find it shocking. There was a scene at the bowling alley where a character with pink nail polish licks his bowling ball and winks at the dude. I find it funny that character tries to be attractive in front of the him. The dude is just left speechless and staring at him.
The dude went to retrieve back his briefcase at Larry’s house. Walter, the dude friend, ends up slamming

This movie shows love at first sight in a innocent and beautiful way. The main character ,Baby, is interested in dancing after watching Johnny’s performance. When she dances with Johnny I’m impressed by the way they both dance so professionally. I can feel how much they are deeply in love with each other through their love of dancing. It makes me wonder, when am I going to have that moment with someone whom I truly love? I like the friendship between Johnny and Penny because they have known each other since childhood. The weirdest thing is they both don’t have romantic feelings for each other which is very surprising. This shows that as long as you have that one good friend you don’t need to have a significant

    In both independent and mainstream cinema, viewers and critics are usually most aware of how females are represented and portrayed. However, it is also important to consider how men are represented. There are many different types of masculinities within our modern society, but one hegemonic idea still reigns supreme. The films of Todd Haynes challenge the idea that there is only one accepted masculinity and prove that there is in fact a hierarchy of masculinities. Haynes’ films, such as Poison and Dottie Gets Spanked, show how, while not as widely accepted, there are more kinds of masculinity than straight, white, middle-class man.…

    Hollywood films featuring lead black characters have been in cinema for decades. In contrast, black character images that are portrayed in cinema was usually centered around traditional racial stereotypes of the past such as “Uncle Tom, “the coon”, “the brutal black buck”, and “the mammy”. In today’s contemporary films, the black protagonist is often represented as having super natural or magical powers.

    Due to the distorted retellings of Australia’s history, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture has suffered and become widely misunderstood. Stories often provide a myopic, inaccurate image of the Indigenous people, portraying them as uneducated, violent or lazy. While many Australians seem to lack concern for the country’s first inhabitants, there is a large population who also wishes to protect them and resolve a number of issues deeply rooted in Australian history. In an effort to gain recognition for their people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists often use their mediums of choice to expose what it truly means to be an Indigenous Australian. Rachel Perkins utilizes film to explore her identity as an Aboriginal woman as…

    O’ Brother not another Odyssey Ancient Greece and the 1930's American bible belt seldom seem comparable, however in reinterpreting Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, Joel and Ethan Coen do a marvelous job transposing the adventures of Odysseus to the era of the Great Depression. Ulysses Everett McGill is a depression era Odysseus trying to make his way home through the Mississippi bible belt south to get home before his ex-wife Penny marries her suitor, Waldrip. As a modern depiction, O' Brother, Where Art Thou?, makes a trying effort to incorporate many of Homer's plot points while attempting to stay true to era of the 1930's in which the movie is set. The typification of Pete and Delmar as Odysseus' crew is particularly well done, as is that…

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking. In the first scene of the movie Thelma wants to ask her husband, Darryl, for permission to go on the trip with Louise. He yells at her and she quickly changes the subject. In my opinion, this is one of the most crucial scenes in the entire film because it outlines the sexism and discrimination that these two women will face throughout the course of the movie.…

    The texts ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, written by Harper Lee and ‘12 Angry Men’ directed by Sidney Lumet; both display contrasting features and qualities. While both are very diverse texts, they both share an undeniable resemblance, in relation to a single person affecting a group 's idea of a just and morally right decision. Prejudice and discrimination are a reflection of how both the accused characters in either text sway opinions about which course of action is correct. Two of the protagonists, Atticus Finch and Juror 8, exemplify how a single individual can drastically change what those around them perceive to be right and wrong. Children in both texts, specifically Jem and scout, and Juror 3’s son, are also an example of how one person…

    Forrest Gump is a film that defies the conventions of filmmaking, and in that sense it is difficult to do a typical analysis of the film. It’s not so much that the film is overly complicated or that reality is always in question or any art house tricks of that kind; it’s just that Gump doesn’t really follow any rules. We begin with the most obvious: the plot. This is a film that should have redefined the biopic. It is completely about the life and times of Forrest, the protagonist, in fact through it all that’s the only thing it’s consistently about.…
