Almost perfect

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2013)

The Big Lebowski's beginning monologue was enough to make me want to sit down and forget about everything so I can watch the movie in its entirety. The dialogue, although filled with the F word, sounded genuine, coming from real people in real situations. The acting seemed so natural that it was on par with movies like the Godfather. I can watch the movie several times and see something new simply because of the acting. There is no one who can play the dude better than Jeff Bridges. The role was made for him.
The plot twists and ongoing zany adventures kept me smiling throughout the film. UNTIL THE END. SPOILER: Donny dies. What a bummer. I thought this ruined the movie. Otherwise it would have been perfect. If he died because he was shot, it would have been better. If there is one thing this movie should not have is a meaningless tragedy.
