Title: The Stranger
Post by: HisDudeness23 on September 04, 2008, 01:03:06 PM
Here's another one I did I think it came out pretty damn good. Would you say that the stranger is The Dudes conscience?

I don't know, maybe the Stranger wants that he had more of the Dude's mellowness in himself

No, he can't be a part of the Dude's conscience. He actually talked to Gary asking him bout any good ole' Sas'

Why can't ge just be a guy who dropped by the bowling alley while he was passing through? 

Now that I think about it, that bar at a bowling alley would be a pretty cool place to go for a beer when I'm in a strange city overnight.  Sure would beat the hotel bar...

The Stranger really tied the story together...did he not? ............

The best way to understand the Stranger is to imagine the whole dern story WITHOUT the Stranger.

With him there, the Stranger made the movie a lot less stupefyin. I think the Stranger is there in the spirit of an old wise dude tellin' a story to other dudes gathered around the camp fire (or the bowling alley bar), and in English too, we can all die with a smile on our faces without feelin' like the good Lord gypped us.

The Stranger is what transforms it from "a bunch of crazy shit that happens" into "a story".

I wonder how the stranger came to know the dude, or how he came to know the events that happened

My guess, and this is just until new shit comes to light, is that the stranger is not just some benign wanderer, but possibly a serial killer who has been stalking The Dude.  That's why he knows so much about him.

So, what you're saying is, he's a Brother Shamus?
