Years ago someone else remarked that as Donnie's ashes never touched the Pacific Ocean, even in the end he was out of his element.
Your profile is killing us 😂
It's a league game, Smokey.
Mark it zero dude
Its not nam' annymore smokey there are rules
"HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR MINDS?!"
Lebowski is proof that a movie can be both comfort food and spiritually nutritious.
That's... a beautiful way to put it. Bravo.
Donnie was the "rug" of the movie...he realy tied the whole thing together.
Shut up, Donnie! ❤
The movie was his element and he was so in it.
New shit’s come to light! 😂
It's amazing how a character can contribute nothing to the story in a movie but still be crucial in it. Donnie is indeed the rug.
@@laupstad And he gets peed on by a Chinaman.
I love that Lebowski never bowls in the whole movie.
Being too chatty is not a very good reason for someone to become the recipient of a death sentence.
The closest it gets is when he assists Maude in bowling, but that was just in his drugged mind.
The scene where they spread the ashes absolutely kills me 😂
Yes! And Donnie was sacrificed to give us that scene.
I'm always like, what more can Walter screw up! Lol!
Supposedly, this movie is the Coen Brothers take on a famous Raymond Chandler mystery novel, “The Big Sleep” which was made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
It was legendary for being convoluted and almost impossible to follow, but very atmospheric. This is the Coen Brothers stoner version of the same story.
The Big Sleep is great, also The Maltese Falcon, and Casablanca, should these kids ever want to go on a Bogart run.
Probably a parody of pretty much all Raymond Chandler novels though I havent read all of them
Many of Chandler's novels were. He was constantly at odds with his clients, the cops and criminals - getting arrested, beat up (by cops and criminals) kidnapped now and then, and drugged (against his will) also.
The Big Sleep has great dialogue as well. Great movies both.
I don't know if you figured it out - I haven't finished the video yet - but Maude's friend is indeed Lupin, David Thewlis.
His performance in Fargo season 3 is a must see. No one gave me the creeps like that since Kathy Bates in Misery.
Watch this movie again in 15-20 years and you’ll get a different perspective on it. This is some of the best acting there is.
Agreed. With as many times as i've seen it there are just small parts where the acting stands out. Like pretty much every single scene with Seymour-Hoffman. Even things as little as Jeff Bridges when he's told her life is in your hands. Idk why but his acting in that scene is perfect to me.
"Donnie" was in Fargo just before this movie, in which his character just would not shut up. That's why he was in this one, and why Walter kept telling him to shut up.
It also explains why Donnie had to die. :)
Fantastic movie. Even the smallest role is written so well, so many great and unique characters. About Donny: Never missed a strike. Except the last one. Something was off then already, he felt something in his arm after the missed shot. A sign of an upcoming heart attack.
The genius in this movie are all the countless little details that continue to pop up on subsequent viewings. Like the fact that Donnie's shirt and pants in the beginning are an exact color match of the seats in the bowling alley. He is such a wall flower that he literally blends in with the furniture. Another example is how the dog is running away in the background when Walter is taking the carrier back to the car when the police arrive. I don't think I spotted that until maybe my third viewing. The Coen brothers are the greatest living directors alive, IMO.
Jackie Treehorn's doodle is so clever, what else would be going on inside his mind other than smut 24/7.
Best moment in the movie imo. The one time The Dude gets an idea & takes initiative to collect a clue, and it’s totally pointless.
There used to be an annual Big Lebowski party at a local theatre near me for a decade. They had standup comedians before and after the show and served white russians throughout. Such a fun event that I wish they kept going to this day as this is a fantastic movie to rewatch, especially with a crowd, and laugh all over again every time.
I have a framed poster on my wall from 2005. Says it the fourth annual Lebowski Fest in Louisville, Kentucky. I didn't go, a friend that went gave it to me. Live bands, bowling, drinks and what have you.. the poster says. It's the type of movie you know is a classic while you're watching it and yet it still gets better every time you see it. Deserves the following it's built
14:45 When Walter rolls out of the car and the gun goes off...that is one of the funniest scenes ever.
I've heard someone describe the movie as "each character thinks they're the main character in a different genre of movie"
"Don't be fatuous, Jeffery."
I need to work that phrase into my life.
"You mean coitus?"
Not only was Flea a nihilist, but the girl who lost her toe was Aimee Mann of the band 'Til Tuesday...famous song...Voices Carry.
She also sang background vocals for both _Rush_ and _Ministry._
"You're out of your element, Donny!" kills me every single time lmao
The Coen Brothers are fond of having characters that everyone likes die in their movies. Enjoyed the reaction, thanks.
Trying to block the door but the door opens the wrong way is the best Coen brothers joke
That sort of thing leads to believe that the place is such an utter dump, the door doesn’t even have an actual lock, or not one that works anyway. Then again, I still can’t rule out that The Dude is such a scatterbrain that he just doesn’t consider using the (hypothetical) door lock. I mean, it might not be just such a simple… you know?
@@0okamino, also, doors to domiciles don't generally open that way.
That was indeed the actor that portrayed "Lupin" in the Harry Potter movies.
Don't use words like 'indeed' with these two.
@@N_Loco_Parenthesis, indubitably.
"Good night, sweet prince" is from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, spoken by Horatio as he bids farewell to the dying Prince Hamlet.
Shomer shabbas!!😂
He fixes the cable 😂
shabbas is the Jewish day of rest
I’m staying, I’m gonna finish my coffee 😂
This is a movie you'll probably watch more and more each time and still get something you missed
It's like Goodfellas
You just keep watching it every couple of months it's so addicting
Both of them to this day
It's unreal the same directors who made this made No Country for Old Men, such talent. I realize many don't consider comedies masterpieces. However, I consider this movie a masterpiece.
I’d recommend an early Coen Bros film Miller’s Crossing ( 1991 ) a great film about gangsters and low life’s with a great cast. Highly recommended.
I wouldn't trust a man who doesn't consider comedies masterpieces.
The Coens mostly do two kinds of films - noirish crime films and zany comedies. Big Lebowski is unique in that it is a zany comedy that parodies the noir crime novels of Raymond Chandler (and the films based on them like The Big Sleep and The Long Goodbye). The other film that stands out as not being in either category is A Serious Man - which is amusing but hardly zany.
@@domenicgalata1470 the entire Coen Brothers catalog is just varying degrees of very good to great.
Not a single clunker.
@@domenicgalata1470 Agreed. One of their best movies.
Maude's pregnancy really tied the movie together.
His name is Lebowski? That's your name dude!
FYI, fun fact, all of the "Shut the f*** up, Donny" is said to be a reference to Buscemi's character in Fargo, who never shuts up.
Fargo the movie is a brilliant dark comedy crime movie.
11:50 Most folks don't pick up on the Dude listening to bowling. Unless they've bowled, many folks may not recognise the sound that a perfect strike makes. He's probably listening to a recording of a tourney that he'd played in as part of his preparation for the upcoming semi-finals. The Dude takes his bowling seriously 😎
26:40 It is Lupin from Harry Potter.
43:50 Donny unluckily rolls a 9, foreshadowing...
One of the nihilists is Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The woman who sacrificed her toe was Amy Mann singer of the 80’s band TIL TUESDAY
And the blonde lady with them was Aimee Mann of the band 'Til Tuesday.
@@BuccWylde And later on her own. Her "Lost in Space" album is really good.
And Uli, (nihilist #1, Karl Hungus in the porn video) is Peter Stormare who was Steve Buscemi's (Donnie) criminal partner in Fargo.
@@BuccWylde, she also played briefly with _Ministry_ and hooked up with Al during that time as well.
She also sang with Geddy Lee from _Rush_ on their song, "Time Stands Still."
She was quite malleable when it came to music.
Oliver cleaning up and working out at the beginning was AWESOME!!!! 😂... Thanks for reacting to this movie, I haven't seen this in a while.
Lollll! This actually was such a good movie we loveddd it.
@@OliverandKylie yesssss I used to like this movie a lot... Thanks for bringing back memories ❤
hey can you guys please put gloves on and do a reaction to the movie Austin powers international man of mystery
so can you do this please
Check out _Idiocracy._ 😝
And then _Office Space._ 😝
This film was part of a 3-film trilogy by the Coen Brothers, focusing on different parts of the US. This was LA; Fargo was the upper Midwest; and Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou was the deep south. The actor who played Donnie, and the one who played the pornstar/nihilist are central figures in Fargo. The actor who played Donnie in this one had so many lines in Fargo that the Coen Brothers decided to fix that in this one with Donnie getting told to Shut The *F* Up all the time. The actor who played Walter has a central scene in Oh, Brother--also a hilarious movie.
@@arsmor1end1 You might be correct, but decades ago, I read an article in Rolling Stone that outlined the trilogy concept, and at the time it seemed pretty legit. I do agree that the Coens confirmed Oh, Brother was based on the Odyssey, which is easy to see in the film, based in the deep South.
Fun fact: The shorter nihilist guy is Flea, the bass player for Red Hot Chili Peppers. 🙂
And one _helluva_ decent basketball player! 😝
You can't go wrong with any Coen Brothers movies, Fargo, No Country for Old Men, Raising Arizona, True Grit, and more. Fargo is a must.
Before you started your reaction, Kylie said "Let's Go Bowling, we haven't bowled in awhile", I laughed so hard my tea almost came out my nose. At the 15:48 mark, Walter (John Goodman) says "Ahh, F--K it Dude, Let's Go Bowling !", and I laughed again, remembering Kylie's earlier remark. The first time I tried to watch this movie, it was difficult to follow, but it was so funny I watched a second time, I think it is a comedic masterpiece now !
If I'm not mistaken, Donnie represents the child-like innocence of Walter.
The child in all of us must die, so we can become adults. Then prepare for our ultimate demise.
I think that's right ?🤔
That's a mighty big "if".
All Cohen Brothers movies are cool. Different genres. One of my favorites is Burn After Reading. Not a very long movie but dark humor and has an incredible cast.
I love how Walter keeps saying "Am I wrong?" and everyone answers "yes" lol
But that's just it: HE WASN'T.
“You’re not wrong, Walter, you’re just an a**hole.”
Everyone always thinks Walter is useless, but he actually drives the entire movie along with his nutcase plans, we just happen to watch another guy who gets dragged along into chaos.
The old man took the million for himself.
Never apologize for NOT doing Hairy Potter. Never.
Have you ever seen the XXX version?
_Hairy Twatter_ ?
I love this movie. I have an old dvd copy of it where the case is a plastic bowling ball.
You want an '80s movie that's funny as hell? "Better Off Dead".
Same decade, I'd add _Porky's._ 😝
This is so hilarious! It was actually written as an homage to Raymond Chandler and his convoluted cheap L.A. detective paperback crime melodramas from the '40s and '50s (Farewell My Lovely, The Long Goodbye, The Big Sleep...), featuring Private I. Phillip Marlowe, who was often caught between the cops, the criminals and even his own clients, as he suffered beatings, arrests, kidnappings and even drugged against his will now and then. And the 'Dude' abides.
The message is that people like the Dude who are laid back and not super ambitious are usually also the people who dont step on others and dont cause harm to others.
27:26 Smoking the tiny end of a joint is powerful. All the THC from the whole joint is compounded in that last hit or two. Huge buzz.
Walter is one of the most intimidating characters, he is so unhinged and unpredictable. He completely effs up every situation he is in.
I watch a lot of reaction videos and I've really enjoyed the two of yours I've seen. Keep it up!
A lotta f bombs in this movie. The dialogue is fking legendary.
At least I'm house-broken, man....
that rug behind you guys really ties the room together!
During the making of the film Buscemi said to the directors this was the first film he had made where he lived to the end. They then rewrote the ending.
Donnie not rolling a strike for the first time in the film was definite foreshadowing.
Oliver Kylie I really enjoy your dynamic as a couple so sweet and pure. You seem like real genuinely nice down to earth people, which makes me enjoy your reactions on a more personal level, tying into the conversation afterwords. You brighten up my day even more. This was a nice break from the Harry Potter series. I’m so happy I found your channel, and hope you enjoy what you’re doing. I wish you happiness and everything else that comes in life. If I come off too strong I apologize. I just want you to know that your channel makes me really happy. ❤️🎥😊
We love it
This movie never gets old. The nihilist with the helmet that takes a ball to the gut was Flea, the bass player in Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The reason The Dude is anti-Eagles is they're considered phonies in the country rock circuit and seen as the reason for commercialization entering the genre.
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
He's a Captain Beefheart fan - of course he fuckin' hates the Eagles.
Everyone in the 90s : Walter is fkn hilarious
Kids today : Hes a useless offensive idiot 😡
I thought both when this first came out.
I haven't seen a single call him a "useless offensive idiot."
What's great is that Walter is right about most of it.
To each their own but Walt is the best character in the movie. The dude and Donnie are great but Walt is a man of principles, skewed as they might be. He was right about everything, the toe and the self kidnapping.
And Ben Gazarra from Roadhouse!!..with Sam Elliot also from Roadhouse!!
I will admit that I do not typically watch discussions after movie reactions. I tend to lose interest after a minute or two if that. I can't even tell you exactly what makes me tend to stick around for your guys discussions except that maybe it just feels so genuine and it doesn't go on for too long. I checked this one and saw it was roughly six minutes but it felt like just a few. So even though I can't really articulate it I wanted to share it with you that even someone like me who often skips these parts I find yours to be entertaining. And by the way that was David Thewlis (Professor Lupin). I was glad you caught that. When I first saw The Big Lebowski I didn't know who he was and it wasn't until I rewatched Lebowski some years after the Harry Potter series that I recognized him. I originally knew David Thewlis in Dragonheart (1996). Which is a nostalgic movie for me but one that I now as an adult look back on as a somewhat mediocre script but surprisingly has a stellar cast including the ironic pairing of Thewlis with Jason Isaacs! It was super surreal seeing Lupin and Lucius together in Dragonheart since I saw Dragonheart first and didn't make the connection of the actors until many years later. Anyways, I have rambled enough. I really enjoyed this reaction and so far have enjoyed all of your channel's reactions. Thank you guys sincerely for the entertainment.
Walter - the type of friend who get's another friend all charged up over something fairly small and ready to do battle.
Walter: "And then they come and pee on your fkn rug! AM I WRONG?! AM I WRONG?!" 🤣
apparently the lore is that the dude gets by with no job bc his grandfather was the inventor of the rubix cube. so..he gets occasional residuals!!😉
The only problem is the creator was from a country where he wouldn't have the last name Lebowski being from there and the bigger problem is the creator was still alive so there'd be no beneficiaries to his estate as he wasn't dead 😊LOL I believe the guys actually still alive now when was last January I think it was when I looked
I just subscribed, and gave you guys a thumbs up even though I didn't watch the reaction yet. I watched The Big Lebowski at least five times, and a couple reactions to it. Just from 7 seconds into the your Big Lebowski reaction I already was laughing do I have to laugh........... That's awesome. I already feel like you guys are my friends especially with that bottle of Hendricks behind you I seen that and you can't fool me oh do I have to laugh? respectfully David
OK, this is my first reaction with you guys and I really appreciate your humor and perspective. Subscribed!
What if the Terminator was played by and written for Steve Buscemi, or The Godfather was written with Danny DeVito in mind?
A theme that ties a lot of Coen Brothers movies together is that they pick a genre (a film noir detective story in this case) and people it with ordinary schlubs for characters, folks who aren't as smart/clever/sure-footed as typical movie characters would be. The Dude is placed in the role of Phillip Marlowe, but he is too laid back to care about being Phillip Marlowe.
From their first film, Blood Simple, to Hudsucker Proxy to Raising Arizona to Fargo to the Big Lebowski to O Brother Where Art Thou to Burn After Reading to No Country for Old Men, the Coen's have presented us with Protagonists and Antagonists who are mostly in over their heads.
I have not spent one second of my life consuming Harry Potter books or movies and I can’t help but feel that my life is much fuller because of it. But the dude abides.
"You're a wizard Dude!"
"Well that's like just you're opinion man."
I’m still convinced that The Stranger (Sam Elliott) is some sort of heavenly being, perhaps one of the angelic hierarchy, who has been in observation of The Dude. I take comfort in knowing that The Dude has a sort of guardian angel.
Of course he could be nothing more than the narrator. But then why call him The Stranger in the credits. Maybe a reference to Camus and his novel of the same name. An exploration of absurdism. One could certainly argue that the characters in this movie define absurdism, the seeking of a meaning in life and finding none, leading to the question of what do we do with this life.
That’s what makes this movie so damn good. On its face it’s a heck of a comedy noir. But under the surface the Coens explore all kinds of themes. It’s a masterpiece.
Walter is a friend I would always either feel like the safest person in the world around or the least safe person in the world around.
The only thing this movie was about, was the rug. It tied the room together. 😄
He looks like Professor Lupin because that is Professor Lupin. lol
Clearwater revivin is the perfect statement for that scene. Drinking beer and smoking a joint while enjoying your drive.
being high while watching is a good move
$1,000,000 in $20 dollar bills? A $20 bill weight = 1 gram, 454 grams to 1 pound
1,000,000 / 20 / 454 = 110 pounds. Of course that will fit into a little brief case?
They must be using DUDE math. 🤔🤨💸💸💸💸💸
They were telling Donnie to shut up because of how much Steve Buscemi's character in Fargo talked.
Coen Bros "Raising Arizona" blows this away!!!
✌️🌎❤️
Walter wasn’t a wild card, he was actually right about everything EXCEPT… thinking the Big Lebowski could walk
Steve Bashemi Jeff Bridges and John Goodman have all said that they never watch any of the movies they are in when they are on TV or whatever... except for this one. They will actually sit and watch this one because they actually do enjoy it as fans of the movie as well
If you ever watch Con Air there’s a great fan theory that Donnie is also Steve Buscemi’s character in that film
"We are not doing Harry Potter today" - Well, one could argue you are doing "hairy potter" today.
You're totally correct, that guy is Lupin from Harry Potter. His name is David Thewlis.
32:00 Thank you for finally fixing your hare its been driving me nuts.
The Nihilists are a goof on the band "Kraftwerk", even down to the boombox music😂
Not here for Harry, he is out of his element 😂
Stumbled in by pure chance and i think i will stick around. :)
Solid reaction, gonna check out your other movie reactions!
I love that the whole story was a big nothing burger. An issue of a debt that had nothing to do with The Dude, a kidnapping that wasn't real, fake kidnappers, a fake rich man, ransom money that never existed, and yet somehow The Dude was wrapped up in it all. Incredible.
He really was the type of person for his time and place. If anyone else had been in that role, this story might not have resolved in such a nothing way. Everyone wanted to take advantage of The Dude, but he was just too laid back to let them get to him.
There were a lot of "screwball" comedies in the 90s with one character who would say nothing the entire movie and then end up saving the day. Killing Donny off so unceremoniously was sort of a joke on that. It's pretty dark and doesn't always land with everyone, but it's actually pretty funny if you have the context.
The tv edit for this is hilarious. "Do you see what happens Larry when you face a stranger in the Alps!" BTW my wife and I just watched Tim Burtons Batman (1989) last night and Kylie looks a heck of a lot like Kim Basinger did in that film.
"He's a good man, and thorough!"
Uhhh I'm just gonna go find a cash machine. 😂 I am a big fan of this movie. I even own The Big Lebowski pinball machine made by Dutch Pinball. I rewatch this often. Always gets me laughing.
That is in fact Lupin (David Thewlis)
Also Ares.
« shut up Danny ! »
Am I the only one on the "rich guy"'s side? He seems awful, but if someone came to me and said someone actually wanted to rob me, but robbed them instead by mistake, and therefore I owe them a rug, I would laugh so hard in their face I would pass out
26:44 Yes, this actor's name is David Thewlis and he actually played Lupine in Harry Potter.
And played the Big Villain in the 3rd season of the Fargo TV series...
Yesssssss....an excellent choice...keep going with the classic comedies...thank you for pausing the Potter.
Comedies from 1975-2010 tremendous laughs to be had.
In the dream sequence after he was drugged, all the girls with their legs open played a trick on him by asking the props guys for hairy bushes so the where hanging out of their underwear so when he rolls over the look he gives is surprised happy….lol
This is my favorite reaction! This is my favorite movie.
dude dude dude looking out my back door.
you guys are the best, wish you well and thanks for the content
A lot of the humor in this movie comes from the fact that the Coen Brothers envisioned this as a private eye/Raymond Chandler/Sam Spade/Humphrey Bogart noir & then created the most inept, least competent, stoner slacker as the leading character. Careful, man, there's a beverage involved here!!
