Film: The Big Lebowski

Well I'd seen this before.  I remembered a few scenes, but many seemed new.  I was surprised how intricate the unconscious scenes were.  Flying and bowling, were they glimpses of heaven? Sometimes their conversations were so annoying that I cringed.  Other times I could just watch and enjoy.  I was expecting a bit more because this movie is so popular.  I can't tell if this is a hollywood film or an art film.  Can it be both?  Are the tropes hackneyed or are some of them rooted in this film?

Well anyway, it passed the time.  I learned that the Cohen brothers also directed Fargo, which I thought was supposed to be very gruesome.  Lebowski wasn't gruesome, although he did end up in the same place as he started.
