The Big Lebowski is a good movie, in my opinion, and the actors in it certainly portrayed their characters very well. I would definetely not say that The Dude is a heroic figure because I really don't see him doing anything heroic. The Dude interacts with the world around him in a way that most people just don't. He acts like everything is a joy ride, and he is just really relaxed about everything. I've observed his behaviour, and it seems as though when faced with a hard decision or he is losing an argument, he just puts his sunglasses on.
The language that is used in this film in offensive, no doubt, but I think that it may be a tad offensive to some viewers. This may be the characters' normal every day dialogue, but it may offend a lot of people without intending to. They use the 'f' shot every ten seconds, if not less.
The rating for this movie is AA14, yes I do believe that this rating is appropriate because it does contain a lot of offensive language; Walter says a lot of things that really offend some people, such as making fun of Nazis. I'm just sayin'. There is a lot of cursing in the movie as well, as I've stated before, the 'f' shot is used every ten seconds.

Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane Review
I think that this movie was alright, I didn’t really think that it deserves the title of ‘Best Movie’ because I didn’t like some of the acting. Sure, some of the acting was good, but a lot of the actors, such as Susan Alexander. She was just whiny, but I suppose that’s what the directors were aiming towards. I think her voice was a little too shrill, but once again, maybe that’s what they meant to do.
Charles Foster Kane was a pretty good actor, and I think that he portrayed his character very well. He was supposed to be someone who was never loved, and all he ever wanted to do was to be loved by someone. And when he came across Susan, he had an affair with her, while he was married to his wife. I think he did this because his wife wasn’t good for him. She didn’t love him the way he wanted to be loved. The love that she had for him I think was forced. They had a son, and I’m lead to believe that their son was the only thing that was keeping them together. But when his wife found out about his affair with Susan, they ended things.
Kane thought that everything was going good, in my opinion, and by good, I mean the only thing he wanted out of that relationship with Susan was to be loved by her; and I think she really did love him at first, until she found out that he was greedy and selfish and didn’t really care about anyone other than himself. She claimed he never gave her anything, which he didn’t, so I suppose she’s right about that one.
Charles Kane acted very well when he was displaying his anger and rage towards Susan leaving. He realized that he had lost everything; the only person that he thought would ever love him left him. He felt that he had nothing else to live for, because he believed that without Susan, things would never be the same. I do believe that he was in love with her, but not for the right reasons. I think that he was only leading himself to believe that he was in love with her so that he had someone to love him, as I’ve stated above. After Susan left, he realized that nobody else would ever love him, so he took his life.
The whole ‘Rosebud’ thing was really mysterious, and I think it added a lot of originality to the movie, because it kept people guessing until the very end, when we finally find out what Rosebud was, which was his sled that he had when he got taken away when he was little. I think that he never really let go of the fact that he was taken away from his mother, and even though he knows that it was for the best, he probably never wanted to leave. I don’t think that he cared much about money, and all he wanted was love, and if he would have stayed with his mother, I think that he would have been loved more than he ended up being.
My overall opinion of this movie was that it was very well done, yes there may have been some stuff that they could have done to make it better, but I just haven’t noticed that yet.
It’s got my vote.
