"The Big Lebowski" is a comedy that also involves a crime film produced and written by the Cohen brothers. The story revolves around the Lebowski family and their friends. Jeffery Lebowski, also known as "the Dude," is the film's main star, leading a boring lifestyle but is an excellent bowler. Due to mistaken identity, the Dude is assaulted by enforcers and later finds out that someone else has the same name. Bunny, the trophy wife of big Lebowski, is kidnapped, and he pays the Dude to take the ransom money from the kidnappers. However, the Dudes' friend Walter employs a scheme to keep the ransom money to himself. The Dude works out the possible scenario as to why Bunny was kidnapped and why she faked it. The Dude later discovers that Bunny's friends exploit the fact that Bunny traveled to exploit her husband. The film touches on mistaken identity, family, greediness, and violence, as discussed in this paper. Comment by Mickey Harrison: This is ALL summary. Omit. Comment by Mickey Harrison: You need a clear and concise argumentative thesis.

"The Big Lebowski" by the Cohen brothers vividly explains the aspect of mistaken identity in society. The Dude faces a case of mistaken identity in the film when he gets insults from thugs who ambush him in his house. The two enforces assault the Dude mistaking him for Jeffery Lebowski, "the big Lebowski" The aim of the two enforces is to obtain the money that Treehorn, a porn king, owes Bunny, the wife of Big Lebowski. They later discover that they have the wrong man and leave, but one enforcer urinates on his particular rug. Treehorn goons also ransack The Dude's home in an attempt to find the money that has been promised by the other Jeffery Lebowski. As a mistaken identity case, The Dude faces a lot of challenges and problems intended for the rich Lebowski. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Okay, but this is not really analysis. Comment by Mickey Harrison: This is all summary. You are writing like a movie reviewer, not a critical thinker.

The Cohen brothers also pay attention to the aspect of family and relations in society. Family is the most basic unit of the community and plays a crucial role in society's relationships. The family Lebowski is not the perfect family despite being one of the riches in the neighborhood. The Big Lebowski is a mean multibillionaire who even refuses to give The Dude a rag even after the later explains that his experience with two enforces. The film also mentions a daughter that is Maude, and a big Lebowskis' wife, Bunny. Friendship and relations are also demonstrated in the movie. The Dude has two friends who help him with his mission of finding Bunny and the story behind her kidnapping. Bunny also has friends who conspire to use her kidnapped story to exploit money from her husband. In my opinion, these are part of the essential pieces that form an integral part of the film's story. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Summary Comment by Mickey Harrison: NEVER use 1st person in academic writing.

The issue of greediness is prevalent throughout the "The Big Lebowski" film. The intense urge to keep something to yourself is evident in the entire, especially after the Bunny gets kidnapped. The rich Lebowski pays the Dude to find out who kidnapped his wife and also to deliver the ransom to the kidnappers. However, The Dude explains to his friends Walter and Donny that Bunny faked her kidnapping to get money. Walter then strategies on the way to keep the ransom money for himself and puts his laundry on a suitcase and uses it for exchange. The Dude later finds out that the big Lebowski withdrew the ransom money from the family's private foundation and filled the original suitcase with phonebooks. The Big Lebowski does this so he can secure the money for himself as the fortune was left for Maude by her biological mother. Bunny's friend also grabs the opportunity to get the Lebowski money by disguising themselves as kidnappers. All these instances, in my opinion, represent selfishness as part of the problems facing society. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Okay, this may be your may theme. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Never use 2nd person in Academic writing. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Summary Comment by Mickey Harrison: 1st person

"The Big Lebowski" by the Cohen brothers discusses violence and crime as another vice in society. At the beginning of the film, the Dude faces assault from two enforces in his home through a case of mistaken identity. The enforcers leave his house after urinating on his rug. Although the Bunny's kidnapping state was a power move to exploit her husband for his money, it is a wrong move that depicts terrible morals in society. Three nihilists threaten the Dude to produce the ransom money is also a form of violence that occurs in society. Walter wrecks a brand new sports car assuming that it belongs to Larry, whose homework book was found in the Dude's car after it was stolen. In retaliation, the owner destroys The Dude's car. Another form of violence demonstrated in the film occurs when Treehorn goons ransack the house of the Dude. These instances show the various forms of violence that people and families face daily. Comment by Mickey Harrison: Again, okay, but you need a clear focus for your paper and exhaust the research for it. Comment by Mickey Harrison: All summary

"The Big Lebowski" is a crime and comedy film produced by the Cohen brothers. The story demonstrates the issue of mistaken identity, violence, family, and selfishness. This film captures problems and immoral behaviors that occur in the real world. For instance, the Dude gets assaulted in his house by two enforcers who mistake him for another same person with exact names. There are also different types of violence in the film, such as threats and wrecking other people's cars. In my opinion, "the big Lebowski" is a great movie that people should watch to reduce and identify moral problems facing society. Comment by Mickey Harrison: You are selling your paper short without really making any real analysis. For example, I reviewed a student’s paper who’s thesis was: The Big Lebowski is a representation of the hypocrisy in American organized religion that condemns those that disagree with established authority. Now that student must take SEVERAL pages of analysis to examine scenes VERY closely to prove how the film actually proves the thesis.
