The Big Lebowski

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…

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…

The film "The Big Lebowski" is about a mid-age unemployed man who gets mixed up in a misunderstood kidnapping, and becomes the middle man to the whole shenanigan. Any normal person would have probably called the cops or handled things in a different fashion, however, the main character ( who goes by the name The Dude) is no ordinary person. Threatened, beaten, drugged, arrested, seduced, no matter what situation he's in the Dude finds a way to keep his composure and just keep flowing through…

The brothers Joel and Ethan Coen and Wes Anderson are known for their distinctive visual and thematic styles of film making. Although their respective films The Big Lebowski and The Royal Tenenbaums both have a unique style all their own they do share a theme. This shared narrative motif is a nostalgic yearning for, or perhaps even obsession, with the past. In The Big Lebowski this obsession with the past can be seen at the very beginning of the film as we follow a tumbling tumbleweed, an iconic…

She adds that the veterans tend to write fictional stories because it allows them to not sound very political. Risquez states that her article is trying to emphasize the dissent among Vietnam War Veterans. She cites the movie The Big Lebowski as a good example of the social turmoil between veterans and the counterculture citizens during that era. She explains how the two main characters, Walter and the Dude, represent the two sides since Walter is a veteran and the Dude is a counterculture…

This began my search for a religion that fit me better during my first year of college. I found that I really enjoyed studying Buddhism but felt that it was really just not the right fit for me and that there was still something else out there that fit me better. At this point in my journey I knew that I was going in the right direction but was looking for something that was a little less spiritual and maybe more in the how you live and how you see the world direction. It was during this key…

having knowledge of both sides of an argument. This relates to Berry’s essay because being well informed leads to a better understanding of another person’s point of view. Ultimately, as more citizens become educated, the fundamentalist nature of politics and religion should slowly cease to exist.

onto you and basically shoved down your throat. In the morning we would start off with a mining prayer, before we ate lunch we had to say a prayer, and before we left for the day we were required to say a prayer. Also at least once a month, the school held a mandatory church ceremony and even children that were not catholic were required to participate and attend it. I believe that the rules in the schools I attended were a lot more relaxed compared to Christian or other religious themed…

theory that describes the nature of space, time, and gravity. This theory allows for expansion the fabric of space. In 1917, astronomer Willem De Sitter applied this theory and showed that the universe could be expanding. This was revolutionary because accepted view at the time was that the universe was static in size. Also the universe was considered infinite at one point in time but the Big Bang proved that the universe had to have a history and a beginning. (2)According to Chris LaRocco and…
