Reading this script, my thinking about this movie has become very uptight

You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie

HotTakes4Free@reddit
Well, yeah. Did you see the film sober? Sorry, I mean: Have you been listening to the dude’s story?!
thisremindsmeofbacon@reddit

Maleficent-Detail-62@reddit
To tell you the truth, I don't remember most of it.
HotTakes4Free@reddit
Round here, unless you’ve seen it 6 times and can recite every line, you’re like a girl who ran away from the family farm in Moorehead, Minnesota.
Maleficent-Detail-62@reddit
You are not dealing with morons here

You saw the movie, we saw the movie - we know what happened, yes? Yes?
Potatoe_Potahto@reddit
But doesn't gutterballs happen before Marty's cycle? Or is my mind too limber these days.
SwiftKickRibTickler@reddit
I've seen a lot of spinals, dude
romanazzidjma@reddit (OP)
So you know they were trying to piss on your rug?

Okay yknow what this one's a new one for me
SwiftKickRibTickler@reddit
I like to read this sub. And that's cool, man. But, Dude... the whole durned thing keeps repeating itself! down through the ages and.. yeah. me too, dude. This had not occurred to us
romanazzidjma@reddit (OP)
Okay, you're not privy to all the new shit, so, uh, you know, but that's what you pay me for
UpstairsConstant8155@reddit

WhatIsTheAmplitude@reddit
Was that the original script, or the compromised second draft?
romanazzidjma@reddit (OP)
Actually as a matter of fact is is *not* the compromised second draft, reading more of it there are some small details they changed/edited before making the movie. For example, Donny is described as being a lanky man with stringy hair in a ponytail, and they also cut a scene where the Dude has his half and half taken to his car(originally planned to be a Chrysler LeBaron rather than the Gran Torino it ended up being) by a grocery boy while the Stranger talks about him being quite possibly the laziest man in Los Angeles County.

When you say “Marty’s cycle” you mean the “what have you”?
Anyway, now it’s finished. We can have some burgers, som beers, a few laughs. Our fuckin troubles are over dude.

80sLegoDystopia@reddit
Okay time for a random rewatch. Here we go. I’m throwin’ rocks tonight!
outfoxingthefoxes@reddit
Way to go Donny!
WaffleCommission@reddit
Dude’s mind is so limber, he keeps on repeating things he has heard. He respects everyone and borrows from them. But the world is full of reactionaries and achievers and he is like a kid who has wondered into the middle of a movie, his own movie, you know. No frame of reference, in the parlance of our time. So he looks to others for clues on how to act. And that’s cool, that’s cool. Just my opinion, man.
outfoxingthefoxes@reddit
Dude is not repeating things he has heard. Everyone is repeating things said earlier, even if they didn't hear it.
davster99@reddit
Feels a lot like how Walter White picks up small affectations from the people he murders in Breaking Bad.

Crazy 8 - Walt cuts the crusts off of his sandwiches
Mike - Walt starts drinking whiskey straight
Gus - Walt kneels on a towel when he gets sick
There are lots more but I’d have to look them up.
xxes4eyes@reddit
Thanks,...never really noticed those subtleties
