joegodaUm. Okay. It was an eh movie. Fairly disjointed, well acted, though. I will say that I had no idea what exactly was going on until 20 minutes before the end, so at least it wasn't an easy mystery. That may have been because of the sparsity of clues until right at this moment. It was like reading a Mrs. Marple story, where Agatha Christie kept hidden one valuable clue until she decided to drop the shoe.
What I really liked about the movie was that the main character - Lebowski - the Dude - Played by Jeff Bridges - Looked EXACTLY like my older brother in his prime. Talked like him, too. Didn't make the character more likable, cuz I never really ended up caring about hardly any of them, except Danny, played by Steve Buscemi, and he died. And you know, there's no guilt in giving that bit away, if you haven't seen the thing. Cuz, if you haven't seen it, you aren't really missing much.
Lots of loose ends. Lots and lots and lots. I think, in a really sloppy way, the movie was sort of an allegory for life. But then, aren't they all.
