This video is criminally low in view count, what a brilliant commentary! I’m glad I wasn’t going crazy thinking this movie was saying something about the gulf war
Wow! You and some other TH-camrs have really blown my mind on The Big Lebowski recently. I have always loved the film and try to live my own life by The Dudes "Take it Easy" philosophy but new sh*t has come to light! This film really reminds me of Moby Dick by Herman Melville because there are many interpretations of the material in both instances! There is an epic video on TH-cam with Hubbert Dreyfus talking Moby Dick and polytheism and I think that his exploration of multiple hidden meanings is most definitely appropriate here! Thanks again for the video it was fascinating although I think that you might be stretching on a couple of the points (see my comments on September the 11th below.)
Wow, what great analysis you did of this film! I have watched it many times and never even thought about most of the things you mentioned. I particularly liked your analysis of what The Dude, Walter, and Donny each represent and how Donny (the silent majority in the middle) ends up paying for the actions of the extreme left and right (The Dude and Walter). Very applicable to our current political situation in the US.
The September 11th date might be significant but not because of the attacks of 2001. Notice that the date year isn't 2001 it's 1991. On September the 11th 1991 George Bush Sr gave his famously creepy NWO speech to Congress! Maybe this is what the Coen Brothers are referencing? Or maybe they just pulled the date out of a hat?! Who knows.
So what you're saying is that this movie is accidentally even more brilliant than it already was because of the actions of George W. Bush. I can't think of a more fitting thematic evolution for The Dude's movie than stumbling into something way bigger and more complicated than it already was
Actually this movie is well-known to be pretty much what this video says, which is why it's frequently very closely studied academically. There are better explanations in other websites.
Predictive programming -no coincidence ...... DUUUUUDE !! Obvious . Calculated ? You bet it was . Planned well in advance with major occult numerology involved . 69 was no mistake either . Both are hugely powerful numbers . The half n half could have easily cost 57 cents or 81 cents .

That's fucking interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.
+gd73 Uh, that's just like, your opinion, man. (Thanks!!)
Lmaaaoooooo!!!
If that interview aired on television in August 1990, then Dude didn't post date the check by a month. He post dated it by an entire year!
This is, like, uhhh... genuinely a, a, uhhh... a, uhh...really nice video, man, like, you know, thanks for making this, man.
+TheLazyManatee Haha. The Dude Abides. Thanks.
No, thank you!
This is such an amazing analysis ! Never noticed Donny’s changing shirts and the 9/11 connection. The latter is pretty eerie

Brilliant analysis. Agree that it is astoundingly under viewed.
really great piece of work !
Wow.. I never took notice of the date on the check... Cosmic coincidence or was there a greater hand unknown to anyone guiding this film creation...
This is such an awesome video essay!!
Thanks so much, Mario. We had a lot of fun with this one. We're going to have a lot of essays like this coming over the next year!

Really interesting video.. good work here.
Glad you liked it!
Great essay, well done, very keenly observed, you can be proud of that.
I mean, Donny also represents the centrists in that he has no idea what is happening and is completely uninformed
This is pretty cool. Good job!
Amazing video!
How this video has just 2K views..its amazing
Just watched this movie last night and thought it was a commentary of americas involvement in the middle east
Why do they get credit for sept11 coincidence? Movie is 1998
Right. And the bombing of Sept 11 happened in 2001. What is your question exactly?
@@JDJohnston9906753 That they bombed it on that date, because they saw Big Lebowski write it a movie haha :((

Well, you know. this is just your opinion, Man… 😉 Interesting analysis.
Great characters. Stoner movie. That’s why it’s popular. Nothing more.

Saddam was still alive when this movie came out. I wonder what sodom thought of this movie? 😂
