The Big Lebowski

THIS IS A FILM REVIEW ABOUT THE MOVIE CALLED THE BIG LEWBOWSKI MADE BY THE COEN BROTHERS

This is the movie we watch at the Film Club at Middlesbrough College

Before we watch the film we had to ask a few questions about the film and these are the questions we asked with the answers.

They picked the film at The Film Club at Middlesbrough College because it is directed by Coen Brothers ( Ethan Coen and Joel Coen) which is Clive favourite Director because they made simple story-lines but the storyline are amazing and when they made good storyboards and the film will end up exactly the same as the storyboard. They also chosen The Big Lebowski  because the characters used in the movie and who people call "The Dude" and "The Dude" got ranked the 7th best character ranked by the Times and this is the reason they chosen this film to watch at Film Club

The main Genre of the film The big lebowski is a Comedy/Parody because in the film they are some funny parts. I think the funniest part of the movies is were The Dude and Walter where on edge of a cliff then the decided to throw they friends ashes in the air and it goes all over both Walter and The Dude..

The age rating is 18 because of the strong language and the uses of drugs and also has nudity in the movie which makes the movies into a 18 age rating

The film tells a story in a confusing way because it was quite hard for me to understand what is going on in the scenes and when you get more through the movie its gets more and more simple scenes and it is easier to understand. 

The names of the Main Characters: 

• Jeffrey Lebowski - The Dude 
• Walter
• Maude Lebowski
• Theodore Donald 
• Donny 
• Jeffrey Lebowski - The Big Lebowski

Opinion on the storyline and script

I think the film tells a story in a confusing way because it was quite hard for me to understand what is going on in the scenes and when you get more through the movie its gets more and more simple scenes and it is easier to understand. 

The movie didn't keep my intrest that much only some of the scenes because i though some of scenes were a little boring and i wouldn't recommend it to my friends. I think it wasn't a good choice of a movie for film club because it didn't keep peoples intrest maybe because the movie was made for an older audience.

Quality Of Acting

I think the acting was pretty could but for me it could of being better.. in the film they have professional and experienced actors but I didn't like Theodore who is played by Steve Buscemi   characters because the person who played that certain character didn't do a good job in my opinion.
but overall i think the quality of the acting in The Big Lebowski is ok.

Lighting 

I think the lightning of the film was pretty bad in my opinion some parts of the scene were dark and it has hard to see in some parts. I think also they could of make it a little bit more lighter so people could see more clearly. 

Camera work

I think the camera work in The Big Lebowski was good. I really enjoy the camera work but i think they could of improved it considering it is a made by Coen Brothers and i think The Big Lebowski is one of the best film they made for camera work.. 

Summary
Overall i didn't like the whole film i found it quite boring but i did like a few scenes because it was quite funny but most of the scenes was hard to understand and the reason why i didn't like The Big Lebowski

Storyline:

When "The Dude" Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs ruin his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude.
