Have to agree. Timeless classic.. whenever I come across it on TV, no matter what stage in da film its at, have to make remote switcher defunct until the end!
This scene is perfect at portraying a dream. It features forefront images from The Dude's mind like bowling and porn but also background details in the world like Saddam Hussein that, like an actual dream, shows how odd little things creep in from our subconscious. Not to mention the illogical quality of dreams. Most dreams portrayed in films would just start out as a porn and carry through with it. This sequence starts off like a porn and enters the realm of nonsense. It's pure genius: this scene and the whole movie.
Not only that but to add the nihilist's threat as 'people in tights carrying big scissors' chasing after him, and then the transition from dream to reality is so surreal. This is a pretty awesome scene.
It reminds me of the supermarket introduction and George H.W. Bush gives the line that prompts the whole series of events to unfold “this aggression will not stand.” The film is so much like life in that small things we hear every day can influence us to make decisions or say things we wouldn’t normally say otherwise.
this song is my karaoke song. After highschool, a few of my best friends and I parted ways for a while. I went travelling and working and they went off to do other studies and such. After a couple of years, one of them messages me to meet up. I happened to be back in town, so I was immediately stoked to see him. And basically this song was playing during one of the greatest conversations of my life where we were chatting on a dock and watching meteors. I'll never be in anything other than a good mood after hearing this song.
I remember when that song came out when I was twelve years old; at the time I thought that it was really dumb. When I saw "The Big Lebowski" thirty years later, I realized what a great song it was.
I actually contend joker is the best film of the 2010's, not that there were many good iflms in those years. I mean marval dominated. Marvel is trash. Lebowski is great, but joker is an overall better film.
@@elyastoohey6621 Actually, I preferred Parasite, Inception, Django Unchained, Get Out, Searching, Snowpiercer, The Platform, Shutter Island, Interstellar and some other movies more than Joker.
FZ CBH Interstellar was Nolan’s best work. It draws upon a myriad of western literature, Norse sagas etc. The voyage of bran. Joker draws upon a consistent literature and artistic of the “clown” the harlequin. Jester, fool etc. Parasite while a pretty funny movie, falls short. In terms of high art, it is not so. It is very good. A 9/10 movie. But fundamentally it is a “rich” movie. A lot of shows and movies post 2000 were shot with lavish modern decor. The beautiful hardwood floors. The upper class lifestyle etc. it appeals to those senses. Joker is at a lot of tines visually less “pretty” It is a higher work of art. Same as snowpiercer. Fantastic fun movie. I love it. Especially when they get the metal pipes through the doors, and the battle is evocative of the cruelty to keep other people down. But the movie isn’t high art. Also where Tarantino often falls short. His movies are good. Django unchained is his best movie, and I fucking love it. But like most Tarantino films, it’s a collection of awesome scenes (stolen or as he calls it “homaged” from other movies) Interstellar for me is the second best film of that decade. Because it is high art. And I am not a Nolan fanboy. I find his Batman series good, but overrated when people say they are perfect films. They are very very good. They’re not art.
@@elyastoohey6621 well these are your opinions but I still believe they are better than Joker. But I agree with you about Django Unchained as it made to be a homage but since you said that so the Joker itself is a homage film also and the director himself admit that before the movie realest as he said he wanted to be a homage film more than based on the origin comic xD And the fact I see the Joker is overrated because I felt if the director didn't really used the Joker comic character itself and create a new character from his mind so it would succeed but now like how it is successfully now. I felt the director wanted to win the oscar cause he didn't winning one before so he took a trip of old success film cause it forget and most teenagers these days don't like to watch old film, and then he tried to think about how he can make the people come to the film, so he said let me use the Joker cause that would make the film a blockbuster.
Saw this at The Crest theater in Sacramento in 2015 and Jerry Haleva (Saddam) made a scheduled appearance before the show started. The Saddam bowling shirt was on display in the lobby. Jerry came out on stage, with the beret on, and said Jeff Bridges called him on the recommendation from Lloyd Bridges after he played Saddam in Hot Shots. When this seen played, and he handed The Dude his shoes, the whole theater went nuts .😁
That's Brunhilde. She was a shield maiden and a Valkyrie who either begged Odin to make her mortal or defied Odin and mortality was her punishment. She marries the hero Siegfried in the Ring Cycle or marries an imposter unworthy of her in another tale. I prefer Padraic Colum telling of her tale best of all. You didn't think the Cohns were alluding to Looney Toons, did you?
@@HamCubes Aaand she was in Boogie Nights. Which is an amazing Paul Thomas Anderson film. If you haven't seen it, watch it now! Marky Mark was pretty sexy back then.
He walks in dressed like Karl Hungus from Logjammin’ (“who fixes deine kabel”). And the red scissors are present on a poster in Maud’s studio, and represent the nihilists “cutting off his Johnson”
Oh it's Exocet... the Diablo font, and font for Tazo tea, Demolition Man, Dogma, Star Trek: Nemesis, ... oh Einhänder on PS1, I remember my friend had that on a demo disc and it was fun.
No. No. No. A sequel screams that loose ends were left untied and the original can't stand by itself. Why not make a sequel to "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Rudy" while you are at it???
When I saw he was dreaming about Maude but he put her in some outfit that would actually fit her interests and aesthetic while him being the regular porn stuff dude made the scene kinda..... Sweet to me? Like he didn't change anything about her in his vision and was genuinely accepting and non judgemental of what she was all about.
I feel like folks in the future aren’t gonna get the “Saddam” cameo. They’re just gonna think he was some immigrant guy who worked at the bowling alley.

Those are good burgers, Walter!
You're out of your element, Donny!

You can talk about your Citizens Kane's and your Scarface's but The Big Lebowski is definitely one of the best movies ever.
local jackass: No way. The Big Lebowski is the best movie ever. :)
You forgot the immortal chuck norris films..😊😊
I am sure that big lebowski is best comedy movie
Ya think?
Have to agree. Timeless classic.. whenever I come across it on TV, no matter what stage in da film its at, have to make remote switcher defunct until the end!
The only dream scene in a movie that actually feels like a dream
Baby, you need to watch some Lynch.
@@KevinThePilgrim
Or Jodorowsky
Or Buñuel... Fellini...
Or the first 90 minutes of Mulholland Drive.
@@ChupeTTe Jodorowsky movies barely have dream sequences
That dance the Dude does is so smooth. I love it. This whole sequence is perfect, largely because of the music choice too.
The music choice was monumental. All the elements elevate each other because of their individual brilliance
it's not a dance but a relaxed walk
the fuckin' nihilists with the scissors just kill me every time
that's the same pair Maude had a painting of in her atelier
They're coming for his Johnson
@@mikeyates7931his cholnsaun?
You must turn and face them. And realize it's a dream.
We don't believe in *anything!*
That wide eyed high face and the dancing crack me up everytime
This scene is so absurdly perfect.
I heard this song in the grocery store today....I was dancing the whole time :D
rushthezeppelin your grocery store plays songs about LSD, that's cool I guess.
ExactHoboSoup the store i work at plays lucy in the sky with diamonds so i guess it’s not too uncommon
Lucky you
Not only the most brilliant visual scene in the movie, but the lyrics are superb. Absolutely love this.
mousepotato66 couldn’t believe that was a Kenny Rogers song lol
I LOVE the song in this scene. I listen to it a lot. And th scene itself is weird at its best
I love this scene, but you know, that's just like, my opinion, man.
Lmao 🤣
It is man, the dude abides
This scene really ties the movie together, didn't it?
Like Dude Did i ask Man?
Yeah? Yeah? Oh yeah?
Imagine having your music video directed by the Cohen Brothers and shot by Roger Deakins
R.I.P. Kenny Rogers. This agression will not stand, man!
I had this song in my mind from the movie for like a week. The only song I knew from Kenny Rogers was the gambler. This is a big shock lol

Perfection film making!
Y'all have clearly never tried acid. This isn't a dream sequence. If you think you understand this scene now. There's more to the puzzle.
This scene is a piece of art!
THE COEN BROTHERS EARLY GENIUS AT WORK HERE
Early coens is blood simple, Barton fink, raising Arizona and millers crossing.
This came out in 1998, The Coen Brothers started to make movies in the early 80’s, this isn’t one of their early works
you are out of your element, donny.
Come on, you're being very un-Dude.
Has the whole world gone CRAZY?! AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?! MARK IT ZERO!
Shut the fuck up donny
@@ortaieevia7816Find market zero you fucking crazy
Can't believe it took me this long to notice there's a painting of giant scissors when the dude first meets maude, damn this film is layered!
don't forget the part where saddam hussein hands out bowling shoes to The Dude
The 90s were arguably the best time ever to be a Saddam Hussein lookalike.
this song is my karaoke song. After highschool, a few of my best friends and I parted ways for a while. I went travelling and working and they went off to do other studies and such.

Just heard this song on the radio today. Had no idea Kenny Rogers sang it.
I'm actually crying, I love this scene so much.
When all is said and done you gotta admit the Dude's dreams are hilarious.
Did you all ever hear Jeff Bridges talk about the scene were he is looking up the girls skirts? It is hilarious.
What did he say about?
What did he say
@@JR7noir It’s on an interview with Conan.
Apparently some of them didn't wear underwear.
@@TheOllyj oh la la
This is what the dreams in "inception" should have been like. Only with guns, possibly.
koookeee Marion Cotillard in a tight costume would be enough
Thats why they have dream architecs
In a way yes, but in a sense no as it would make no sense to that particular story
Probably my favorite part of the Movie
This dream sequence really tied the movie together man, did it not?
Best "dream scene" in movie history, hands down!😂😂
1:57 OVER THE LINE!
Mark it zero!
Bullshit Walter,mark it eight dude!
@grig2069 you're entering a world of pain if you mark a 8!
@Elvin Klobocista they're calling the cops man put the piece away
😟 Alright it’s fucking zero! Are you happy you crazy fuck?
I remember when that song came out when I was twelve years old; at the time I thought that it was really dumb. When I saw "The Big Lebowski" thirty years later, I realized what a great song it was.
60s garage rock/punk is the best
Darkness washed over the Dude. Darker'n a black steer's tookus on a moonless prairie night. There was no bottom.
This song really ties the scene together.
One of the greatest scenes I have ever seen in a film
Just found it this is Kenny Roger singing this song which was a hit for his 60s band=my mind blown.
One of my all time favorite songs
RIP Kenny Rogers!
What’s the song
wow. you're kidding. I remember WHEN this song came out. God I'm getting old.
It’s about a bad acid trip.
The visions from this scene really remind me of a mescaline trip.
I love this movie.
I mean....its really love. Deep love.
Can never stop giggling like a tiny girl watching this.

Maybe it's no my favourite movie of all-time, but these sequences were art, I wish more movies had stuff made of solid gold like that.
One of my all time favorite movies if you haven't seen it your missing out !
Possibly the best scene from any movie, debatable.
Such a tune
This is the best movie I've seen this month.
People these days: the Joker is the best stair dancer ever!
People of 90s: bitch please! The Dude is always the best stair dancer!
I search on you tube: jocker vs big lebowski stairs, lead me to this clip and then this first comment :)

1938 - 2020
My favorite movie. I love The Dude❤
most realistic dream sequence ever
New shit has come to light man!
I love the lady in the Richard Wagner Opera-style drag 😂
I guess it's a Ken Russell reference. The whole dream looks like all his films at the same time
This is the best trip scene in a movie.
the guy who plays Saddam is always the same in every movies hahahaha
You’re entering a world of pain...
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A SKIER IN THE ALPS!

0:55 Legend has it that the Coens cast the actual Saddam Hussein to play himself
Can you believe it man? There's people out there who' be never seen this Coen Bros masterpiece. Guess they're not privy to the New shit.😅😂😅
Why, whatever could this symbolism represent? It's so subtle. :)
The tale of Brunhilde and Siegfried?
17 nihilists gave dislike
We belief in nussink!
And upset you enough to comment in the process. One nil to them.
That must be exhausting
I'm from Bremen, but i never saw a nihilist here.
Technically it's by The First Edition. Kenny Rogers was their lead singer but it wasn't until later that they included his name in the band's name.
Alot like a fever dream
The name of the group is First Edition. At this time Kenny Rogers gave Don Henley and Glen Frye their start!How cool is that!
Very Awesome most people don't get know that Kenny wa loaded with such talent !! But he could make you cry & sing . And what a story teller he was .
2:26 one of the models stuffed her costume with fake bush, most the crew was in on the joke.
So does that mean she was actually clean-shaven beneath the merkin?
@@petejt maybe. I don't know. All I know is Jeff had no idea.
And the best part is, Jeff's wife was behind the joke!
Just what my condition was in is a hard song to find

pure genius.
Can someone please tell me what dance style the Dude is doing 0:56 onwards when he dances down the steps? Thanks.
all hail the great kenny rogers for this song.

Kenny Rogers and crew are an underrated psychedelic band for sure.
This is much better than "Lady" or "The Gambler"
Not even in my dreams are my dreams this dreamy...
It's strange to think this movie turned 25 today. Still hoping we get a sequel where we follow The Dude & Maude's adult kid.
No. No. No. A sequel screams that loose ends were left untied and the original can't stand by itself.
Why not make a sequel to "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Rudy" while you are at it???
The dream took a real traumatic turn, man
I judge people on whether they like this movie or not.
If it’s a “no,” I just can’t f*** with them.
When I saw he was dreaming about Maude but he put her in some outfit that would actually fit her interests and aesthetic while him being the regular porn stuff dude made the scene kinda..... Sweet to me? Like he didn't change anything about her in his vision and was genuinely accepting and non judgemental of what she was all about.
Maude family house has armored goddess averywhere, subconcious portrayal, mause also valkyria

Best dance scene ever. Me and the Dude share the same dance moves lol
Love those shoes.
