I should really start keeping up with this more. The next movie I'll be reviewing is a tale of a man who was framed and ends up on an adventure that involves, but is not limited to cowardly and yet-somehow-still-frightening German porn stars, a fat rich guy in a wheelchair, the fat guy's beautiful and crazy daughter, the fat guy's his hot trophy wife, JEFF BRIDGES, and a lot of unnecessary bowling.  i'll be analyzing this flicks photography and mise en scene.
the photography and mise en scene of the 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski" is eccentric. the usage of color and light in scenes compliments an otherwise confusing, if not interesting series of events. the movie opens up almost like a play with it's lights and hues getting bright during the introduction. we go from a dimly light dessert to a bowling all lightly lit and then to the bright area where are main characters are introduced. the movie pays a lot of attention to detail; setting up scenes where extras can be seen bowling to boost the believability. there are also scenes where the main character played by JEFF BRIDGES is in a dreamlike wonder zone and in those times the director uses the scene and the expression of JEFF BRIDGES to let us the viewer know what's going on.particularly the scene where he has been drugged by the porno kingpin and is in a state of wonder and awe at his vivid hallucinations. honestly those scenes are also some of the most fun to watch in the movie but a theme of those scenes is they happen almost always after some form of pain is inflicted upon him. the scenes themselves depict JEFF BRIDGES flying over the city while fire works or being the star of a weird bowling porno and a and insinuate that even though he's just been punched in the jaw or drugged he is at least having a good dream. that is until the three weird guys show up with scissors threatening to cut of his Johnson. then the camera angles seem to skew so that he cant and turn to insinuate fear. overall this movie is weird and personally all it made me do was hate John Goodman for the first hour and a half. but overall it was a good flick to watch
