: The Big Lebowski
Director: Coen Brothers
Though I’m a giant Coen Brothers fan, I disliked this movie intensely when I first saw it. I hated it so much I didn’t even understand it: it was a bunch of crazy, lazy, horrible people doing incomprehensible things. This time I was able to follow the plot which is pretty good — about a loser hired to pay off a ransom of a kidnapping that might or might not be a real kidnapping — but I still didn’t like the characters who are angry, swear constantly, and just unpleasant. That meant I didn’t really care what happened to anyone in the film, which means I didn’t care much about the film. So my revised opinion is that I can now see some of what inspired the Coens to make this, but sadly it’s still their worst film. Not as bad as I remember, but still unpleasant.
