The Coen brothers’ The Big Lebowski wasn’t overly popular when it was first released in the late ‘90s – especially because it was the duo’s follow-up to their chilly Oscar-winning masterpiece Fargo and, when audiences were expecting another Fargo, the Coens gave them a screwball stoner comedy – but it has since developed a cult following.
Fans of The Big Lebowski are torn between which of the two central characters – Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski and Walter Sobchak – is funnier. But they shouldn’t have to choose, because the movie needs both of them working in tandem.
When the Coen Brothers first unleashed The Big Lebowski on an unsuspecting world in the mid '90s, audiences didn't know what to make of it.

This case of mistaken identity was something of a "stoner film-noir," with dialogue that was equal parts existentially insightful and absurd.
