You bleeped _"Fucking"_ This is the internet.
You should have mentioned how the Dude hates the Eagles, Take it Easy was playing in the cab, "I had a rough night, and I fucking hate the Eagles", all the while hes the only one trying to take it easy.
ScreenPrism Wheres the money lebowski
Jackie Treehorn
I've always thought of 'Dudeism' a simple word play with 'Buddhism'. Coincidence? A bit like Hubbology in the Fallout series.
Well anything you learn about this film..that's like...your opinion..man
Well obviously your not a golfer
+Saso Gonzales He's a nhilist.
the one thing you learn: never call your child Donnie
Fuck the Eagles man..
Smokey this is not Nam, this is bowling, there are rules
"He´s a nihilist." - "must be exhausting" This was the refreshing kind of humor which made it a masterpiece imO.
Shut the fuck up Donny
My favorite joke is connected to that. "They're nihilists, Donny, there's nothing to be afraid of." That joke is so smart
I agree.
Exactly what I comment on 90 percent of the do gooding motivational bullshit shared on fb. "Sounds exausting".
I didn't get it. Can u help?
The rug really tied the film together.
It was the hidden motive that brought the characters together.
Ryan and they peed on it
Ryan you're right! The rug definitely pulled it altogether! 😂😂😂😂
The rug is the MacGuffin.
The rug was my favorite character
@@SEAL341 youre out of your element.
Usually only Tarantino would pay that much attention to toes.
Right?! I love Tarantino films but holy shit, he’s open about his fetish.
@@jackcouch8322 He indulged himself a little bit too much in Death Proof
Tarantino: "the toes really tied the movie together"
@@jackcouch8322 Unlike The Big Lebowski, I'm sure Tarantino would get happy if someone mailed him a toe.
Hold my beer...
this movie and also this recap, actually changed my life. i realised i might be poor, suffer from depression and anxiety for 15+ years, have battled suicidal thoughts for a long time, but at the end of the day at least im alive and have my little life, for whatever its worth. and its ok.
Just take it easy dude.
You know.. life goes on, man
Friggin right man! I'd take comfort in that
yeah dude its like... cool dude
Oh my god, this attitude is probably the reason why you're suffering like mad, not the solution! That's exactly the problem with this movie and even more with this video. It makes it look like this is a lifestyle that can be justified.
I had a slacker friend who never seemed to compare himself to anyone and lacked any ambition and I was always so jealous of him because whenever I was stressed out about tests or school, or any kind of achievement he was always content never going anywhere or doing anything and he felt so free becuse of it. Really reminds me of the dude, useless but content
This lifestyle is my dream, I’m tired of pointless dumb shit. Shitty jobs, taxes, insurance, societal rules. I just wanna take it easy man
Very hard to pull off, sadly
@@Nix_Pardus thats just your opinion man
It’s all about Charmin Ultra man. Less abrasive….
So true, i am so sick of doing stupid jobs and act like someone i am not. Dealing with other people shit...i just want abide man.
same here in germany
i just want to take it ez and bullshit comes around all day :I
All hail the sacred philosophy of Dudeism. The followers abide....
The dude abide homie 😊
I take comfort in that
I have my offical certificate. looking forward to my week long day of the dude this year.
@@amiedeecomedyI was ordained today. Congratulations to you...man
when this film came out, people didn't wear pyjamas in public, even in America - he looks normal now
Because people lost work ethic, especially in western civilization.
@Mellon Collie In Italy, men wear slippers in the street! However we are not yet there when all the "fuck"s in the movie need to be bleeped out for UA-cam!
@@bornfree8073 Automation and outsourcing will do that.
born free
because you failed to teach it, EsPecIAlLY iN wEStErN CiViLizAtIoN
@Mellon Collie lol io esco in pigiama un sacco di volte, certe volte mi sono sbronzato che ero uscito in pigiama. Troppo comodo il pantalone del pigiama.
if the dude ain't your spirit animal then ...life goes on man
the dude is really crazy cool :-) ^^
Passive, laid back, wearing same type of clothes, serene approach to the world,doesnt want to achieve anything, the dude is me
Dudeists? I mean, say what you want about the tenets of the Dude, at least it's an ethos.
The Dude is like the ultimate ''Minimalist'' what seems to be so trendy nowadays.
@Selim Mašić Not even man, just slacking on shit that doesn't matter to him. As we all should.
I don’t know a ton about minimalism but I think he represents a much different lifestyle. He’s still got a bunch of hippie possessions. But I get what you mean. He’s not focused on materialism in the least. Balance and equanimity, as the video says.
I kind of beg to differ... minimalists today are focused obsessively over purging. This guy just loves his own brand of luxury.
@@pinkbrando I agree. The Dude is a contentist, as in he is content with his brand, he needs no other. Just that rug that really tied the room together, and his briefcase; "no that was a separate incident." The dude certainly had nothing against materialism and was even willing to call the police to get his back, it simply was not his main motivation. He was content with "ten grand man", but he definitely was willing to do a little "work" for it.
minimalist? that must be exhausting
I watched this movie the first time with my father probably back when I was say 14 or so. It was a pretty funny and wacky movie and it became one of my favorite movies. Years later I started to understand the movie and and now I realize I'm living by the Dude's philosophy day by day. While I'm actually trying to have a further education and eventually becoming a history teacher unlike the Dude. I'll always be content with my little life and enjoy the things in it from my loving family and friends, listening to and playing sweet music or just a stopping to smell the air. There's always beauty in this hard, evil world and I know I'll always find it.
It’s actually quite a brilliant and simplistic philosophy. We all get so caught up in worrying about meeting societal expectations. The Dude teaches us that it’s okay to say “F**k it, man” and just roll with the punches, for better or worse. Life is going to happen regardless of how much (or little) we do. It’s actually very similar to the ending with Margie and Norm in Fargo, who are doing pretty well for themselves, sans all the drama and dysfunction of many of the other characters, who only seem to care about money.
This narrator has a beautiful voice
Narrator is Sam Elliot an American Icon 👍😎👍
Ti Mi is talking about the girl narrator, not Sammy....
David Finley wtf
@David Finley what kind of broken manhood are you currently experiencing dude
I’d show her my little dudereno as long as she paints her toe nails green nude on a valued rug with a pitcher full of a White Russian
I feel like i was well on my way to becoming "Dude-like",
then I decided to grow up, get married and have kids.
Twenty years on, I'm not sure I made the right decision.
T Dalb ,you did,I’ve returned to dudeism in retirement.
If the woman you love supports "the dude" lifestyle, then you've made it.
Of course, you have to provide, but the cosmos will accommodate accordingly, should you "take it easy".
People think they're in control, when in reality, everything (from the weather, to your past, immediate surroundings, or desires) influences your decision making.
Shit, you may be working now to secure your future as "a dude".
Well... That's like... your opinion... man
There’s a fine line between being Dude-like and actually being a bum whose life isn’t that easy. You must balance all of it. Having a family certainly doesn’t stop you from being a Dude.
I was just thinking the same thing.
I'm perfectly calm, Dude.
Calmer than you are.
Drinking my coffee... gonna drink my coffee...
Having you, talking about one of the best comedy movies ever and one of my favorite movies ever... just makes the end of my day so much happier. Thank you.
The Dude "hates the f--king Eagles, man", but they sang his mantra - "Take It Easy"!
Shut the fuck up Donnie
Play more CCR, man.
Sometimes you're in a situation where you have to tap into the philosophy of The Dude to get you through. People have many plans and are constantly scheming and stressing because of these schemes but you just have to disengage with that world. F*ck it, chillout. You'll live longer. Go with the flowing river called life.
If we all “abided” like the Dude, this world would definitely be a much better place😇✌🏻
No evolution, no roads, no houses to live, no jobs, we would still be living in the nature exploring pleasures like sex and eventualy drugs
My dad is a priest of dudeism!
Becky ginger cool story dude
So am i! Get your priesthood today at the slowest growing religion worldwide!
Me too! May we all abide with some oat soda and Credence, far from rug pissers and human paraquats. I just got some fresh half and half, making a Caucasian....abide.
Me too!
Mark it!
Me too man
I've honestly never seen The Big Lebowski but I think this has made me maybe want to take the leap to see it. It's been on my list but I've always put it off.
You're missing out. it's a classic
I wanted to like this movie, but it didn’t really do anything for me. But you should see it anyway, just so you can make up your mind one way or another about it.
revues de minuit Yeah. I won’t go in with specific expectations but I really should see it.
revues de minuit trust me this is a movie that gets better everytime you watch it
well....what ever man........
My wife is an ordained Dudeist Priest. Another friend of ours, also a Dudeist Priest, performed our wedding for us. The Dude Abides.
Holy shit you got a dudeist wedding? I`m a priest myself, but I`m surprised people do that!
I dig your style, dude.
Hope it’s going well
ScreenPrism has really gotten me into film analysis lately! I've watched tons of videos about Game of Thrones over the years but it was mostly reviews and predictions. Your symbolism videos got me started on the idea of film analysis, which got me rewatching the Kubrick, Scorsese, Coen brothers, Fincher (and others) movies that I've seen and watching their others for the first time. I've been watching a lot of CineFix and Every Frame A Painting, but I still love ScreenPrism best!
Woah woah woah slow down there.
Every frame a painting is the best UA-cam channel. Period.
Shut the fuck up Donnie!
Out-freaking-standing, and I speak as a three-time winner as "Best Walter" at LebowskiFests in L.A. 2005 and 2007, and NYC on my 66th birthday in Brooklyn in 2006. My avatar is from my first win.
Far out man
Jordan Peterson does not like this.
Jordan Peterson would like to give 12 Rules for Life to the dude. It won't help.
Clean up your rug, bucko.
@@adeadgirl13Probably because the dude is living on the back of social help. Basically, other people work and pay taxes so that he can continue living like he's earned it.
It promotes single motherhood, laziness and socialist themes. The dude is a nice charming guy but I wouldn't want everyone to start being him.
Just like Jesus, maybe except the motherhood.... btw... Imagine if everyone is a medical doctor or your favorite hero? Do you see the hunger and children crying? Just my opinion, just take it easy, man ;)
Jordan Peterson's thinking about this film is so uptight. He's hardly privy to the new shit.
The scene at the end where Walter apologizes to the dude while the dude yells at him and they hug moves me. John Goodman played Walter so well. He showed how much Walter needs his friend.
You're in a world of hurt donnie! Lol
You have become one of my favorite YT channels. By far.

I've binged most of your catalogue lately, and it is *all* good, but I love these focussed, deep-dive analyses best. Essays like this and the simply stunning work you did with GET OUT are my absolute jam, my bread and butter, my gravy and my cream.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and I wish the whole crew nothing but the best.
Ok this is officially one of my favorite Screenprism videos! I've loved The Big Lebowski since I was 15 and I just turned 30 but I've never seen an analysis video about it, let alone an excellent one like this. Well done!
Shut the fuck up dawny
One of my all time favorite films
This is the best look into this film I have ever seen. Thanks for this!! Not a lot of people take the time to appreciate the in and and outs and what have yous of this film. The dude abides!
White russian is awesome, I owe it to the dude.
Right on man alcohol and milk is all I need in life
icecream with alcohol - what more can you want? :)
Haha... I loved them before this film. I can't believe anyone else would enjoy milk, vodka and kaluha
the drink, yes, the russians not so much especially Putin (Trump’s boss dude)
Really ...u can drink milk and alcohol...that sounds like it'll f up my stomach...!!? Crazzy
Thanks to you I learned about Slacker Noir; a term I haven't heard before up until now. It certainly fits this film, which in all honesty, I was never completely sure about labeling it as simply a comedy.
Another great video! Thanks, Screenprism!
I'm impressed that most (if not all) of yall's scripts are actually written by only two people.
You guys are awesome.
I really liked this film when it came out. Its still a classic even after all these years. Thanks.
This was taught in my film class today...
Your teacher is fucking cool.
@@markriddell2353
Once were Warriors was amazing. Tem Morrison very underrated actor man..
Another great video. You guys are one of the best on UA-cam.
This is easily one of the best videos about The Big Lebowski i've seen, you are the best
Good job screen prism !! From rick and morty to this great selection!!!
I like your content a lot. keep working
Really great analysis! Love your videos!
Let's be honest
That rug really tied the room together.
Fucking A
This was wonderful.
"So why, exactly, did the Dudeist lifestlyle become so instantly and enduringly iconic?"
It was far from instant, man.
Thats like, your opinion, man.
Take it easy,man
Awesome content. Great how you tied masculinity into his character. Never thought of his dudeness being a resistance to machismo and capitalist goals. Thank u.
Great video, love all the details and explanations.
In a way the Dude is a taoist. Do all things without any effort.
i love this movie a lot and so glad you guys have done a vid one of my all time faves and on it's 20th anniversary Happy Dude Day ScreenPrism and The Dude Abides ;)

"That rug really tied the room together, did it not?!"
Happy 20!
They peed on The Dudes rug
dan duffy OVER THE LINE!!! Mark it zero dude. Your about to enter a world of pain
Saso Gonzales ....."a world of pain ".
Saso Gonzales uh
This is a really good analisys of The Big Lebowsky.. I've seen them all, and this is among the best...
I'm officially ordained by the church of Dudeism. People come into my place, ask about the proudly displayed certificate and, after I explain, they look at me like they're seeing a completely crazy person lol
Beautiful episode!! 👏
Two of my all time favorite movies are Lebowski and Blade Runner- I guess neo-noir just appeals to my gen x tastes. Can't help but imagine The Dude chasing down replicants in 2019 LA lol
Lol "where's my fucking rug, man?"
Late to the party,but this is the best comment on here. The Dude as a Blade Runner,far out man
Everything, from the soundtrack to the 'story' (haha), the acting, the dialogues, the atmosphere.....its a masterpiece. Im not surprised ppl cant let go of that blissful, peaceful, insanely funny vibe. It generates good emotions and feelings. You wont watch the movie and feel bad. Itll make you smile.
I’m not going to say “this movie saved my life” (it might’ve) but I’ve dealt with suicidal thoughts, depression, addiction in the family, never having money/energy/time etc… and this movie truly reminds me to let go. “Life goes on, man” enjoy the little things. Enjoy the White Russians. Enjoy being alone. Being stoned. Getting an extra day off. Favorite song coming on the radio. It really just tied my life together. I love this movie and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Woo I didn't even realize it was the Day of the Dude but I've been on a Coen brothers binge today and yesterday.
You were too busy abiding to be anchored to something as arbitrary as a calendar ...
Len Arends ,take it easy.
The analysis is spot on...The Dude is less subjected to the imposed anxiety of outcome that we all seem to believe in.... he has transgressed concern with future and surrendered to just what arrises...'lets see what happens' and deal with that. Its the only way to live......savour the juice of every moment by not continually resisting or rejecting the present experience. The Dude truly does abide.
Love your work, Laides!
really love your channel. and i like the dude
For a movie with as much cursing as this one has, I'm amazed you were able to do a 15 minute video on it and only have to use the bleep a handful of times.
Happy Day of the Dude!
I remember hearing the term, 'slacker' being used a lot back in early/mid 90's grunge era. It definitely pre-dated The Big Lebowski. By '98, it was pretty much out-dated (like the grunge scene itself).
Amazing videos, all very interesting, great job!!
very well written and edited, great work.
Please keep doing more iconic movies 😄
i love your channel, more on cohen brother!
_Coen_
Brothers
Grateful to have seen the big lebowski when I did. I was young. Didn't understand it at all. It stuck in my mind though... I've watched it dozens of times now and it has had as big an influence on me personally as any other film! Thank you to the Coen's for this piece as well as their other films!
Amazing analysis! Thanks for this :)
Hey ladies, I noticed you’re not pushing for patreon subscribers recently but it really helps. Your imploring fans in past videos led me to happily pledge! You may want to consider it...
This video made my day...why not the week....
From India....
Great video. We are in the midst of breaking down The Big Lebowski as part of our off-season Patreon content to our own podcast. Nice to see the love of the movie reflected in so many others.
I’ve been feeling pretty down lately, I think this is just the movie I need to watch, thank youuu screen prism

I love you guys!!!!
Great video. 469 likes and a paltry 2 dislikes says something! The dude abides.
Love this channel. Not to mention the hosts are ridiculously beautiful. Bravo.
this channel has made the last 3 days of my life so rich....! thank you screen prism
Everyone notices that The Dude writes a check for 69¢, but nobody ever notices that it's also post dated for the 11th. We find that the next day or two is the 9th thanks to the landlord.
@@th33b33 lol okay loser
When I was watching The Big Lebowski the second time, the scene where Donny missed that one bowling pin made my heart sink.
I've commented this before, but I'd really love to see your take on The OA, I hope you make a video on it someday, I really love your videos!
Love this channel!
1:28 "Careful man, there's a beverage here!".
What you miss is that Dudeism was already here, being practiced quietly everywhere , and now here is the man himself, the embodiment of all things Dude...
thanks, Debra and Sussanah - great work! New subscriber
Great timing, I watched this film for the first time yesterday
The funniest thing about the Dude is that he is more nihilist than the Autobahn nihilists
He's not a Nihilist, but an absurdist.
I "liked" it before seeing it, man
great job ladies watch the whole thing, def picked up some new outlook of the movie cause of you.
This was really a great breakdown of the film, its themes and the characters...
Susannah "the voice " abides. 😊
Love this
Sorciere Psychedelique wet
the outro really surprised me lol. You do a great job
Genius video. Such a great exploration.
look, the dude didn't create slacker noir, shaggy and scoobie did.
I picked to watch this movie coincidentally on march 6th, is this my calling?
This absolutely lit a fire under me to see 'The Big Lebowski' soon, VERY Soon again. Thanks
Such excellent research. I learned lots. Thanks.
