You figured out the joke of the movie.
>>79511822
What's the joke?
ITT: things that never happened
Try going outside occasionally anon
>>79511497
I like this meme

The Dude is a complete loser with almost no redeeming faults except his easygoing attitude. It's explained clearly in the opening monologue that he's the laziest man in Los Angeles. Notice every time he smokes weed he does something stupid
>Does a J at the Big Lebowski, steals the rug and gets beat up for it
>Does a J in the car, drops it and crashes
>Smoking one in the tub, gets beaten up

The joke is that literal autists find comfort in relating to the character "The Dude" because he resembles their miserable lives, even though his entire persona is scripted and screen played and could never happen in reality, let alone today's modern age.
>>79512803
do you honestly think people like that dont exist?
>>79512803
It's basically a critique of Baby Boomers. The Dude is a typical pothead hippie type, Walter is a gung-ho Vietnam vet and also a total cuck to his ex-wife, Donny is ineffectual and confused, The Big Lebowski is an old money tycoon who is actually completely pathetic and broke, and so on.

"The dude" played by Jeff Bridges? No anon, he's a fictional character and therefore does not exist.
>>79512702
He's happy, chills out all day, and does whatever he wants. Not really a loser desu.
>>79512946
it might parallel that, but it's not attacking a generation, it's attacking losers searching for a social identity in general.
Think of all the faggots we saw walking around in black trench coats after the matrix. It's the same concept.

Allegedly Walter was, in part, inspired by John Milius
>>79513158
rumor has it Milius never left his home without a gun. He carried a collection in his trunk and brought them on set constantly.
Yeah. I can see that.
>>79513231
Why does that not surprise me?
>big fan of some of his stuff
>>79512702
>Notice every time he smokes weed he does something stupid
I thought it was more showing that he wasn't able to relax and enjoy himself because things kept going wrong. Kind of like that tired old skit where just as you sit down and close your eyes something disruptive happens.
