film review

This is a review for the film club at Middlesborough college in february which we watched the movie called The Big Lebowski.

What is the genre for the film? Comedy/Parody
What is the age rating for the film? Why?
The age rating is 18 because of the strong language and the uses of drugs and also has a bit of nudity in the film.

How does the film tell its story? 
I didn't really understand the film i thought was really confusing the bits that i saw.

What are the names of the main characters?

• Jeffrey Lebowski- The Dude
• Walter
• Maude Lebowski
• Theodore Donald
• Donny 
• Jeffrey Lebowski - The Big Lebowski

Did it keep your interest throughout?
Not really, i lost interest half way though the film, i thought was really boring most of the film so i didn't really fell like watching all of it , it didn't make much sense to me. I didn't really understand most of the jokes that they made in the film so it was a bit confusing for me.
I thought the camera work in the film was pretty bad because it kept changing from one actor to another quit fast and you couldn't really understand what was going on, so it made very confusing when they where talking.
I thought the acting was rubbish: I thought the dialogue was not realistic and the acting was unconvincing. I was left feeling not drawn into the film at all. The actors were really annoying and seemed to have habits and personalities that were quite irritating. This made me lose complete interest in watching the film.
The main actor ''The Dude'' i thought he was the most annoying character that i have ever seen in a film, he was so stupid but he was a bit funny sometimes though.

What were the best parts of the film? I can't remember the exact part, but there was some parts that I've see that made me laugh quite a bit when he is about to make the money exchange and jumps of the car i think it was funny, but this film didn't really catch my attention.

Do you think this film was a good choice for film club? No, it was really boring, not everyone was really paying attention, was a very long film.
It felt like the film was going in slow motion and never would end it and more of the film i watched more i wanted to go home.

Here is evidence of my being at this event with two videos of our tutor talking before the film started:
