My Two Cents: Do you confront the offender who peed on your rug? If you go Walter's way, you'll have a hell of a story to tell if you don't.

Best Bits: Played by Jeff Bridges who simply is The Dude, as the main character
he really has no stake on any sorta impactful life; he's the ultimate
slacker drugged out for most of his days when he's not bowling with his
friends.
Though outraged by the two men who violated his home, he still has no stake to get justice for it. He wants to let it to be. It isn't until his passive aggressive disgruntled Vietnam veteran friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) eggs him on to get retribution that The Dude does anything.
By Sobchak's escalation for justice The Dude finds himself being drugged willingly and unwilling, involved in a million dollar ransom for a kidnapping scheme, have ferrets attack his delicate bits in a bathtub, and so much more chaos ensuing against him.

Why It Endures: Honestly, there isn't much of a point to Coen Brothers movies. You will not find the most heartwarming moments of life and love romanticized. These are the kind of moments we all at some point long for as movie goers. What the siblings give you is an absurd amount of cat and mouse chases, misunderstandings and escalating escape plots. These are also the kind of scenes and moments we expect and enjoy from the Coens. They might not be in the spirit that every movie goer can understand - Walter's scenes where he's high on drugs is a particular example - and they don't make much sense but they're all right enough. More often than not tied the brothers' movies are tied with a big bow made out of a sad, unfortunate casualty and "all ends somewhat well" third act. Their movies don't find legions of fans but endure for their rightful popularity.
