The Big Lebowski

Last week I went to see this movie, eventhough I have already seen it before. I remembered many of the splendid quotes and that the movie was VERY funny. However, I didnt expect it to be THAT good. Im glad Ive seen it again, for this must be the funniest movie of all time.

The story is about a guy from LA, whose name is Jeffrey Lebowski, however noone calls him by that name. He is called The Dude. If there was an absolute loser on this earth, it would be The Dude (and Homer Simpson). The first scene shows that pretty much by itself. Dude stalks the mall in a bathrobe, old shorts and a pair of sandals. He pays his !!!! 96 cents !!!! with a check ! That certainly aint all. You have to see it to believe it. Well....Dude gets somehow involved in a kidnapping of a young pornstar and the wild rollercoaster ride begins. The story is so complicated and crazy, that it would be a nonsense to try to explain it. But thats ok, cuz the movie isnt really about the story...its about the lifestyle of Dude and how he handles the situations he gets in throughout the movie.

You have to concentrate on every scene alone, not how it fits into the movie as a whole, because it sometimes does not fit at all. Some scenes, such as all that take place in the "bowl-o-rama" or the ransom handling or.....ahh fuck it...ALL OF THEM, are hundred times funnier than most other movies. And this has two reasons......first reason is the perfect script written by The Coen bros., witch is no doubt genuine and NEVER loses its breath, especially when you observe the dialogs. That way, the movie is equally funny in every part of it. Ive never seen such movie, that was so good in EVERY scene (but Ive seen few movies that were equally BAD in every scene:-). The second reason for the movie to be sooo good is the acting. And now, this isnt just acting its A-C-T-I-N-G performances. Every....EVERY... person in the movie is PERFECT. They all act sooo naturally. This is the same as the script....ive never seen a movie where every character was so flawlessly portraied (eventhough Leaving Las Vegas was very close)..i mean every character..from the cabbie to the waitress. Of course then there are actors like Peter Stormare as THE NIHILST (for the ones that had seen it..... I FUCK YOU, I FUCK YOU......and remember Autobahn ????? LOL), Sam Elliot as The Stranger, Steve Buscemi as Donny ( SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY ! .....Donny reminds me of South Park´s Kenny :-), John Goodman as Walter (the choleric Vietnam War veteran, who comes up with a perfect plan how to get the ransom..lol), Julianne Moore as The Vaginal artist Maude and the OUTRAGEOUS PERFORMANCE of John " The Jesus" Turturro (the most legendary quote of all times ----- "NOBODY FUCKS WITH THE JESUS !!!"...hi performance was truly unbelievable).

But those AWESOME Oscarworthy performances were still topped by one. It was the prodigal performace by Jeff Bridges as The Dude. There is no doubt, that this is his by far the best performance. I was shocked by the difference in quality in Big Lebowski and his other movies. I cant believe he didnt get an academy award for this masterpieces. Hell...he almost topped Nicolas Cage´s Ben from Leaving Las Vegas..almost.

Well....i dont know what more i can say about this masterpiece. Its the best comedy of all times....and its the most "cool" movie of all times. If youre in for a major laugh, ultimate swearing, ultimate acting performances and ultimately cool script go and see Big Lebowski
