Movie Review: The Big Lebowski

Duuuuuude. That has got to be one of the most sabaw films I've watched. Like ever. Kakapanood ko lang ng The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers, and man was it so weird. And high. I think I felt high. Like I'm on something while watching it.

Effin weird as hell.

Like seriously, duuude, read on.
So like there's this guy in this movie man. Who goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski maaan. But people don't call him Jeff Lebowski, he likes to be called "The Dude" or Duders, or other variations of the word... dude.

Seriously, go on Google and type in 'dude'. Go to the images tab. You will see the Dude there just relaxing.

Duuude! You're like glowing...

Okay. The movie's about the Dude who just wants his floor rug back after some goons urinated on it because they mistakenly identified him as another Jeff Lebowski who's apparently a millionaire. Now the Dude, together with the audience, has clearly no idea as to what's going on around him. He sorta like, goes with the flow with it all. And that's what's mainly happening in the rest of the film.

Normal stuff.

He mostly just hangs out with his buddies at the bowling alley where they sort of, hang out just for the heck of it. But you've got to listen to their conversations to fully immerse yourself with their mindset. They start a conversation and as you listen, you'll notice that their topics go all over the place, similar to how the structure of the film is. An event leads to another which then leads to another, but then another event happens that is completely out of the blue which then changes the overall direction of the event and the.. oh I got lost. Sorry dude.

Some of the best lines were between these guys.

Now I'm really having an extremely difficult time describing this. Let me just say that it's not, IT'S NOT, your typical comedy. There's humor here but it can be really hard to see. Or hear. The comedy's found in weird areas such as random acts of violence, varying levels of sheer stupidity, or sometimes death. And there are those really weird, and wtf-pucha-sabaw scenes sprinkled all over the movie.

Like this one!
Yep. That's the dude holding a viking lady. Holding a bowling ball.

But it's not like Burn After Reading level of dark humor. This one's really light and free. Like no one in the movie, specifically the lead characters, gives an eff or any dose of seriousness to the things happening around them. Here's another image that I found just to give you a clearer picture.

You've got to see the movie to understand this fully.
It's got different levels of comedy right there.

Duude. I really can't describe it properly here. One thing though is that not everyone will like this film. And I can see why that is. But if you're tired of the typical comedy, try watching this one! Seriously dude. Pucha sabaw talaga.
