There are some flaws in the story, however that is not my main concern with this film. While some people might enjoy the type of cinematography this film had, for me I felt like it ruined the entire film. This type of random cinematography cheapened the film in my opinion, and I also did not like the color palette they put it with either. As stories about corruption are very important I think that this was such a shame, because the film simply lost me because of this and I felt disconnected the message it wanted me to come across. However I do like the theme of the film, and I certainly think more films should be made about corruption and the less fortunate, just not in this way.

Like Fargo, The Coen brothers have decided too add the same spirit to "The Big Lebowski". I certainly think this works as the whole motive of the protagonist is to retrieve his carpet, which is something ridiculous. Yet this idea still works very well and is very entertaining because of the great pacing, aesthetic and spirit of the film.

In the film we follow Jeffrey Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) known as "The Dude". Beacuse of the great production design, costume design and directing, as well as the spot on acting from Jeff Bridges, we get the impression that The Dude is living a life where he does not really care about much. However he cares deeply for his carpet that got ruined because of two debt collectors who mistook him for a different Lebowski. The Dude then later goes on to try to get a new carpet/money for a carpet by finding the other Lebowskis wife. This goes wrong and the rest of the movie than follows The Dude and his friend trying to fix this up. The film has suspense, comedy and an interesting plot, however it sometimes becomes too ridiculous. I personally thought the "dreams" The Dude was having while he was doped were a little out of place/unnecessary. Because the film already follows a comedic plot, and the films spirit is at the same level, these shots I found were personally too much. With that being said I found the film entertaining and a fun ride to watch. The Coen brothers certainly are great storytellers.
