The introduction of The Big Lebowski is set up in such a way so we get an idea of the lead characters, specifically The Dude. One way mise-en-scène is utilized in a beneficial manner is costume design. For instance, when The Dude is first introduced in The Big Lebowski he’s seen wearing an outlandish bathroom robe. Along with this robe comes a beaten-up pair of shorts and a plain white t-shirt. He’s then shown wear a similar outfit the following day. From this alone, the audience can get a better sense of The Dude from the first moment he’s introduced. This costume makes The Dude stick out as abnormal making him seem unique and unaware to those around him. His costume portrays him as passive and almost lackadaisical.
