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.
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.
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
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.
@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!
@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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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".
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.

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!
@2:20 FACT CHECK: “Abide”. The dude doesn’t have an original thought in his head. He only repeats what he hears someone else say. There’s more than a dozen times this happens in the movie. This instance, Mr. Lebowski said “I will not abide another toe”. Abide has two definitions. Mr. Lebowski used the first definition ‘not tolerate’. And the dude used the second definition ‘accept or act in accordance with’.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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 ;)
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.
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.
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 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 ;)
In 1998, Armageddon was the big summer blockbuster and Shakespeare in Love was the Oscar winner. Are we still talking about thise movies today? The Dude abides, indeed.
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!
As the definitive Big Lebowski lover (I do have a metal box version, it really ties my film collection together) of 30 years this video-appraisal comes as an Epiphany. You have brought me enlightenment where before there was only a shaggy-dog -story. 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.
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).
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.
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.
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...
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...
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
hold up... did yall really say that his life gets bent out of shape when his life gets disrupted in a relatively insignificant way? They peed on his fucking rug, which really tied that room together. that's not insignificant, that's understandable.

I've always thought of 'Dudeism' a simple word play with 'Buddhism'. Coincidence? A bit like Hubbology in the Fallout series.
"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

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.
