When you are feeling down and out ... or just need a good jolt!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2005)

How can it be that a movie can make you feel better?
Well, "The Big Lebowski" will make you feel better and this is how: It is honest, it is ruthless and it is funny.
The best part of the movie is that it combines reality with fantasy without exposing the seams.
The movie is flawless in its ruggedness. The characters are strong and you know what they mean, regardless of whether you might agree with them or not. In this sense (character complexity) the movie is simple, but it takes this simplicity through an exquisite path of interactions and decisions. At then end you might question yourself "How can someone end up in this type of situation?" and the answer is clear; if that someone is anything like "the dude".
Enjoy it, d.
