The Big Lebowski, a 1998 American comedy film written by Joel and Ethan Coen and directed by Joel Coen, chronicles a few days in the life of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges), a burned-out, unemployed California slacker, after he is mistaken for a millionaire with the same name. While not directly based on Raymond Chandler's novel The Big Sleep, Joel Coen has said that "[we] wanted to do a Chandler kind of story – how it moves episodically, and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery. As well as having a hopelessly complex plot that's ultimately unimportant."[1]
The Dude is mostly inspired by Jeff Dowd, a member of the Seattle Seven, and a friend of the Coen brothers, Pete Exline, a Vietnam War veteran. Walter (John Goodman), the Dude's best friend, was based on a good friend of Exline's, John Milius, who was a fellow veteran and filmmaker. The original score was composed by Carter Burwell, a veteran of all the Coen Brothers' films. T-Bone Burnett, who also worked with the Coens on O Brother, Where Art Thou? (and later The Ladykillers), is credited as music bibliographer.
The Big Lebowski did not do well at the box office, grossing only USD $17 million domestically, just above its $15 million budget. However, it received generally positive reviews from critics. The film is known for its idiosyncratic characters, surreal dream sequences, unconventional dialogue and eclectic soundtrack, has become a cult classic and has been called "the first cult film of the Internet era."[2] Fans' devotion to the film has even spawned the Lebowski Fest, an annual festival that started in Louisville, Kentucky in 2002, and has since expanded to several other cities.
