If the Dude was so chill why didn't he just let the thing with his rug go? The main conflict that drives the movie goes against the core values of so-called "Dudeism".

They violated the NAP
isn’t that like, le ironic
as in the kind of shit israelites think is brilliant
how did he exist as a NEET with his own place in California?
my headcanon is veterans benefits + living in his deceased parent's house.
He rented an apartment
But the landlord tried to shake him down for rent
It was written but never added to the movie that one of his relatives invented the rubiks cube and he got an inheritence from it.
His landlord was a pushover.
there were lots of dirt cheap places in CA like 40 years ago
It was the early 90s.
It really tied the room together
It not only really tied the room together man, Walter pretty much drove him to do all the shit that in his mind put someone's life in danger which wasn't chill and was something he had to fix due to his own morals.
If he knew about Bunny from the get go he probably would have dropped it
being 'chill' is not so much a constant than it is a tendency. everyone can have their hill to die on and the dude took crazy risks for his small piece of happiness. far out, man.
>far out, man.
this line was emblematic of the dude's chillness.
>Hey Dude tomorrow is already the 8th
>gives him a warm buddha smile
>far out, man
everything's so groovy to him if someone just wants to tell him the date, hey man, cool, good vibes
That's exactly the point. It's a buddhist allegory, as soon as he got attached to something in the material world that's when all the conflict and suffering started.
>dudeism
>buddhism
Spot-on, anon!
so buddhism is really just cope
Cope if you're still entangled in the illusion of attachment. And materialistic attachment at that? Embarrassing
assuming
And yet you're attached to becoming unattached. Curious.
How so?
Gottem
How so?
How so?
Do you not understand the concept of cope?
i’m sorry but you still haven’t responded to
Buddhism is the concept that you don't have to worry about responding to things without sounding mad if you are no longer able to get mad in the first place.
what? explain it as if it was a solid concept that didn’t need wishy washy talk to explain
For those that understand, no explanation is necessary
For those that don't understand (you for instance), no explanation is possible
wow so it’s cope and you’re coping right now
if grug really want a rock but rockstop is sold out, grug get sad
grug can't make rockstop have more rock
grug can make grug have less want
yes but applying this specific concept to life is moronic and cope
How so?
because you might as well have a nice day
all you’re doing is erasing things for the sake of your feelings
aka cope
Why would I kill myself if I'm indifferent? That's a lot of extra effort for nothing, moron. Come back when you grow a pair.
assuming
He was chill when he was in his own lane, he had several sperg outs when things weren’t going his way.
It’s easy to be chill when you’re in you’re own element, he didn’t have the coolness “under fire” that would show him not to be a larper putting on a persona.
Probably some gay allegory for how everyone is fake and gay in LA
He sperged out a few times but he was still surprisngly chill. People broke into his house and told him that they were going to cut his dick in 24 hours and he just went bowling lol
Walter was the driving force of aggression in his life, both making him act in response to aggression and being a source of the dudes frustrations causing him to act aggressively being very undude, the dude without Walter is just floating through life but sometimes you can not let aggression stand you must act within the world, it's a balancing act between channeling your inner Walter and controlling him
This, the Dude didn't want to do anything about the rug at the beginning, and got convinced by Walter only when he suggested him to demand for a new rug from Lebowski.
The Big Lebowski is the worst of the 'well regarded' Coen Sisters films
i used to think that
now i understand it’s one of their most “white” movies
Its kind of weird look up "best ___ movies of all time" lists written recently.
A couple token classics and then 5 or 6 movies made in the last five years all directed by women or minorities
>now i understand it’s one of their most “white” movies
explain
anti feminist and pro christian
anti feminist -
juliane moores character is a total joke, she epitomizes liberal daddy issues girls who need to overcompensate for lack of femininity because her step mom (tara reid) was too hot for her to compare herself to
pro christian -
there are buddhists, israelites and nihilists throughout the film all showcasing their ideology, the only person itt who is portrayed as being justified and correct is the middle eastern looking guy with long hair and a beard named jesus
many of their movies are centered around israelites
it's their best by far, only try hards pick one their "serious" films
The Man Who Wasn't There is fantastic too
>be toddler with a toy
>see adults talking at a table
>go show them my cool toy
>bet they want to play with it, but I won't let them >:)
>before I can ask they say "we can't play right now, sorry champ"
>MAJOR COPE, THEY’RE SO FRICKING JEALOUS OF MY COOL TOY
Because it really pulled the room together.
The Big Lebowski is a good film because it’s about how the Esoteric Elite inject themselves into the life of “undesirable elements” and use their unlimited Ill gotten funds to ruin lifes for their own advancement.
Maude wasn’t going to get pregnant off “The Dude”, the “thorough” doctors appointment was to prepare him for organ harvesting after the conclusion of the film. “Sometimes the bear eats you.”
The doctor being "thorough" was inspecting his balls and not just his bruised face
i’m confused how do the elite advance in this movie by taking the dudes organs
Maude removed Bunny from the picture, put her father in suspicious circumstances, makes in roads with whatever avant-garde groups she participated with, sends a clear message to Treehorne, et cetera.
Hence thorough appointment to check levels though would wherever it ends up be beyond selling a bum product?
i still don’t get it
it's "sometimes the bar eats you" you moron lol
>You drink and smoke everyday?
>We need your healthy liver sir
>Walter tells him to ask the Big Lebowski for a replacement rug, because why not
>Big Lebowski asks him to do a drop-off for easy money
>Walter fricks it up
>Maude fricks up Dude’s jaw and takes back the replacement rug, asks him to come over later
>Dude gets his car stolen
>Walter fricks up trying to recover it from the kid
>Dude is abducted by Jackie Treehorn’s thugs
>Maude visits him and wants to have sex with him
>decides to confront the Big Lebowski when he realizes he was tricked
All of the Dude’s decisions are pretty reasonable. It’s only when other people want something from him (particularly Walter) that shit hits the fan. I feel like there’s a lesson there.
was there really a day when as a white man you could wander around la in your pajamas and not get stabbed by a turd skin?
was donny really a surfer?
If you recall the movie correctly, at some point he actually gives up on pursuing the rug when it gets too convoluted and stressful. His neurotic veteran friend who is almost the exact opposite of the chill dude kinda forces him to pursue the issue.
How do I bang an art hoe as a neet?
she wasn’t even an art hoe
just a hoe
It's not that difficult, these types of women have attachment issues and are also just looking for casual sex type of friendships. I've had multiple girls like that in college as basically a NEET. Just offer them a comfy evening with some indie movie and fancy wine and fricking
who other than a desperate beta wants this 3.5/10 kind of experience
these women are a mess and not cool like in the media
they are surprisingly bad at casual sex and will try to start a relationship with you
but man that rug really tied the room together
It really tied the room together
