May be the best movie ever made...

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2011)

Nah, seriously. It's a masterpiece of it's won but it's a Cohen brothers movie so you know what to expect. You know it's not at the level of "The Godfather" but it has this "special something" that I can't describe.
Ahhh, these Cohen Brothers. You gotta love their style. "The Big Lebowski" is the perfect 90's film that capitalizes all the distinctive elements of the aforementioned decade. Cultural change, not conventional characters, and the strangest situations that could happen to any Average Joe.
The Dude is a character fell from Heaven. We all have a little of him inside. His random way of living and dialogs make him a very interesting character that defines that in the 90's many persons were "peculiar".
James Woods delivers a hilarious performance. The man is out of his mind. The "anti-semite" oriented dialogs were very, very funny.
I can't praise this movie enough because it never gets old. I can watch it any time of the year and it feels fresh.
It's not a comedy but it's not a drama, it surely isn't pretentious. Just take the movie for what it is: a movie made for persons who don't give a damn but at the same time take life for what it is.
