What is film club?
The film club in question is run once in a blue moon by the media tutors at Middlesbrough College, usually around a theme related to the film in question. so who is Clive, Clive is one the media tutors at Middlesbrough College.
Before the screening:
Clive will look for a film that is different to "regular" (blockbuster) films and will choose it depending on how much of an impact it has made in cinematic history.
Clive had chosen The Big Lebowski, for film club, as it was one of his favourites.
During the screening:
The film tells its' story very well and is a master class on film-making.The story revolves around Jeff "the dude" Lebowski and his bowling buddies, Walter and "Donny", trying to solve the mystery of why two thugs broke into his appartment. The story starts in the middle of its’ own story, in order to generate a mystery of who the other Lebowski is. Music plays an important part in the film, sets up and plays against characters: i.e. using a Spanish cover of “Hotel California” to set up Jesus is film-making genius, as it sets up his character like a cowboy during a Mexican standoff. Due to a near constant stream of strong language (from Walter) and the positive usage of cannabis and violence, the film was rated as an 18 at the time of its' release.
Review:
I think Big Lebowski told its' story with plenty of vigour and heart. If I wasn't so busy with taking notes, I would've enjoyed the film. Although saying that, My favorite moments would have to be when Walter decides to teach a "carjacker" his meaning of "an eye for an eye" and when Jesus is introduced in the film.
I think that "The Big Lebowski" is an excellent film for young film-makers to look at, just to see if they're still interested in telling visual stories.
