Book Synopsis The Big Lebowski by : Ethan Coen

Download or read book The Big Lebowski written by Ethan Coen. This book was released on 2009-01-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Lebowski begins with a case of mistaken identity which escalates when Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - attempts to seek recompense for the despoilation of his ratty-ass little rug, and then finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bagman - a situation that goes from bad to worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners. In The Big Lebowski the Coen brothers have taken on the preoccupations of Raymond Chandler, but have given them a postmodern spin, while at the same time leaving Philip Marlowe's ethos intact as The Dude wanders thorugh the fractured world of nineties LA trying to do the right thing. Like the award-winning Fargo, The Big Lebowski is suffused with a droll humour and a verbal felicity that is as delightful as it is startling.

Book Synopsis The Big Lebowski by : Tricia Cooke

Download or read book The Big Lebowski written by Tricia Cooke. This book was released on 2015-06-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firsthand account of how this extraordinary cult movie was made by the Oscar-winning Coen brothers. The Big Lebowski is a razor-sharp comedy thriller of mistaken identity, gangsters, bowling, kidnapping, and money gone astray, written by the Coens, directed by Joel Coen, and produced by Ethan Coen. In addition to Jeff Bridges, whose portrayal of The Dude has become iconic, and John Goodman, his bowling buddy, the film stars Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Willem Dafoe, Sam Elliot, and Ben Gazzara. Not given to talking publicly about their work, the Coens gave access to Tricia Cooke and William Preston Robertson to interview the cast and crew. In a prose style that complements the Coens’ filmic one, the book discusses the Coens’ oeuvre, the themes of their films, their atypical brand of humor, their craft, and their artistic vision. Several scenes of The Big Lebowski are examined closely to see how the movie goes from idea to reality, making this an ideal book for fans, filmmakers, and filmmaking students.

Book Synopsis The Dude and the Zen Master by : Jeff Bridges

Download or read book The Dude and the Zen Master written by Jeff Bridges. This book was released on 2013-01-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's "The Dude", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives. Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges’s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are “simple and unassuming,” and “so good that on account of them God lets the world go on.” Jeff puts it another way. “The wonderful thing about the Dude is that he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.” For more than a decade, Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and his Buddhist teacher, renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman, have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious, The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.

Book Synopsis The Making of Joel and Ethan Coen's The Big Lebowski by : William Preston Robertson

Download or read book The Making of Joel and Ethan Coen's The Big Lebowski written by William Preston Robertson. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In giving unprecedented assistance to the authors of this book the Coen brothers agreed for the first time to to reveal how they work. The book is structured around a few key scenes and follws the evolution of these scenes from their initial conception through their visualization as storyboards, to the actualization of these scenes in the shooting process, and then finally to the achieving of their completed form during post-production. The book illuminates the Coen brothers' artistic process, but in a way which is as entertaining as the films themselves.
