    Especially when you dive into the fan made theories, like Donny is a figment of Walters imagination, Walter killed his ex-wife and her husband, the dude is the big Lebowski’s illegitimate son.

      I don’t think the Dude could be his illegitimate son since that’s part of the reason Maude referred him to that doctor. He wouldn’t have been very “thorough” if he missed that they were related.

      That’s going off the deep end for me. I prefer the interpretation that its a video essay on masculinity. “What makes a man a man?” is the central tenet of that movie, and personally, knowing that was a really crystallizing moment that made all the bullshit fall aside. I read a beautifully succinct essay about this somewhere and will look for the link.
