Why is The Big Lebowski considered such a classic in American cinema?

Because every American can relate to The Dude being a useless jobless bum

Because the lack of ambition is the most relatable trait a character can have to the major population.

Imagine being so butthurt about Americans living essentially king lifestyles on welfare.

Because it's good.

Problem?

He's a skin deep foil to merchant caste work ethic and know how in the US.
The US has such little culture that this man is considered a unique "rebel against the pervading system of thought" to them, but a pointless loser to anyone of character who realizes there's more to life than senseless consumerism and comfort.

you got a good sarsaparilla?

because it touches all the reddit buttons

>dude drugs lmao
>deadbeat loser are cool. Im a deadbeat loser too, that means I can be cool
>authorities bad
>wicked nihilism

It's not considered a classic. It didn't get good reviews when it came out. It just has a vocal cult following since it got to home video.

These reddit guys are nihilistsm dude?

Because he's a boomer.

Sometimes there's a movie... I won't say a kino, 'cause, what's a kino? But sometimes, there's a movie. And I'm talkin' about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there's a movie, well, it's the movie for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that's The Big Lebowski, in 1998.

>this is what redditors think constitutes good writing

not american, but i enjoy the humour in this film. it's definitely not the coens best, and is pretty similar to buster scruggs in that there's basically no plot and it's a movie of memorable and funny moments strung together. that said, it's a fun way to spend an hour and a half and a memorable one at that

Shut the fuck up, Donnie

I fell asleep watching this. It's just a bad movie. It's narrative would have worked better as novel

>The US has such little culture
Yet most of the movies you watch come out of America and most music you listen to comes out of America.

because most people now are too pleb to remember the OG

Funny, eccentric, original, well developed characters, interesting plotline, surreal elements, absurd moments, appealing cinematography, witty dialogue, gratifying ending.

What is not to like?

itt: idiots who don't realize the stranger is the key character of the film

Inherent Vice was the better stoner mystery

Besides the part about no bad job there's nothing with this picture.

6 is pretty fucked up

Imagine Americans thinking that way of living is sustainable
