I watched this "Murder Green Toe" with my colleagues in my spare time on a business trip. After watching this movie, my colleagues expressed the same emotion as most people: What are some things about this broken movie? In fact, the movie was downloaded very early, but due to the unsynchronized resource subtitles, it has been delayed until now to download another version to watch. To be honest, there are not many works by the Coen brothers. The one that has a deep impression is "Three Kings Escape". In this "Murder Green Toe", you can find many styles similar to "Three Kings Escape". It is the absurdity and humor revealed in the tortuous destiny of Tianya Little People in the movie.
At the beginning of the film, there is a scene where the camera switches in several different scenes with a rolling object. With the low male voice narration, the slightly serious atmosphere can easily lead the audience into the illusion of a western crime movie. However, apart from Bonny's kidnapping case and a few gangsters' small fights, there is no shadow of crime movies at all. Even the kidnapping case was found to be a misunderstanding at the end. Personally, I feel that what this movie expresses is still the attitude of life embodied in the vagrant group represented by the protagonist Dude.
The clue that runs through the entire movie is a kidnapping case. The protagonist Lebowski (Dude) is an unemployed vagrant. His usual hobby is to play bowling with his two friends, Walter and Downey. The underworld finds the rich man with the same name as Lebowski to collect debts and strays into Dude's home, and ran away after peeing on Dude's stall. And Dude obviously cares more about his carpet, in his own words, his carpet matches his room very well. In order to ask for compensation, Dude could not find the underworld, so he had to find the rich man Lebowski. After the communication failed, he took the rich man's carpet privately.
The rich man has a girlfriend named Bonny, who is very open and is a pornographic actor. The underworld that broke into Dude’s house was actually found by Bonny’s adult film dealers, because Bonny spent a lot of money and owed the film dealers’ money. Asking for money from the rich, and treating Dude as a rich man. It didn’t take long for the rich man to learn that Bonny had been kidnapped, so he asked Dude to bring money to deal with the kidnappers. When Dude and his friend Walter went to send the ransom, Walter adjusted the ransom, and then Dude’s car was stolen, worth one million. The ransom was also gone. Dude found the daughter of the rich man, and learned that Lebowski was actually a vain person and had no money. He inherited all his wealth from his ex-wife. Now he runs a foundation with his daughter. The ransom of one million is from the foundation. Here, the daughter opposed the father's practice and wanted to ask Dude for the ransom. After returning from the rich man's daughter, Dude was discovered by the rich man who was waiting near his home. He was questioned that the kidnapper had not received the ransom, and he showed Dude the green toe that the kidnapper had sent him. Later, the police found Dude’s lost car and the ransom was gone. Dude found a high school student’s transcript in the car, believing that the high school student stole the car and took the money. Dude and Walter went to the high school student but found nothing. Walter, who has a grumpy character, missed the passerby's car. After returning home, he was taken to the adult film dealer by the underworld thugs. He was drunk and had strange dreams. When he woke up, he found that he was sent to the police station. When I got home, I saw the daughter of the rich man who took the initiative to give him a hug. After having a relationship, I realized that the daughter of the rich man only wanted his sperm to give birth to a child. The tail himself was only used by the rich. Immediately afterwards, Dude and his friend Walter went to find the rich man, and found that Bonny actually went to see that his friend had gone home, and had not been kidnapped from beginning to end. The rich man did not affirm Dude's speculation, and the two humiliated the rich man and left. Thinking that everything was over, Dude and his two friends met a "nihilist" outside the bowling alley, who claimed to have kidnapped Bonny. Walter couldn't bear to knock the kidnapper to the ground, but Downey was frightened and had a heart attack. Passed away.
Many interesting plots have been interspersed throughout the film. For example, at the beginning, Dude was wearing pajamas, sunglasses, long hair and slippers when he appeared in the supermarket to buy things, sloppy and understandable. Dude's dream of chasing the flying carpet is also very strange, the dream and the carpet after waking up are well connected. Another dream is that Dude has become an adult movie star, passing through many pornographic female stars on the bowling track, accompanied by music and dancing, which is quite magical. And after Dude's friend Downey passed away and was cremated because they had no money to pay for the $180 urn, they went to the supermarket to get coffee cans and put them on. Use coffee cans to fill ashes? ! The Coen brothers can really think of anything! What's more weird is that when the ashes were scattered, all the ashes were scattered on Dude's body because of the wind direction. . .
Dude's friend Walter has many scenes in the movie. He is a very irritable and unemployed vagrant. He participated in the Vietnam War and was injured. From his usual conversations, it can be seen that the experience of the Vietnam War occupies a relatively important position in his mind. , So that in many things he encountered, he could always have something to do with the Vietnam War. Including his choice of faith, it is not difficult to see that Walter is a person who is nostalgic for the past. Judging from the performance of this movie alone, it is exaggerated and excellent, and it can be said to be able to compete with the protagonist. In the various disturbances experienced by the male protagonist Dude, he always asks Walt for help, and he will not accidentally be messed up by Walter, which is also one of the jokes of the film. Dude's other friend, Downey, didn't play many games and was relatively timid. Every time he asked some untimely questions, his weak personality formed a sharp contrast with Walter.
As a small person in the market, Dude is single, unemployed, renting a house, and has a broken car. He can be regarded as a typical loser. However, he is casual and does not like to cause trouble. There are some sentiments in life (such as caring about the matching of the carpet and the room. sony walkman is lying on the carpet with headphones and listening to music). Although life is incapable of changing the big picture, I can face it calmly. I think such a loser is quite good.
