Student activist Dude and Vietnam vet Walter are friends because Walter has Autism and The Dude has ADHD and they're both neuroatypical bowling fans

I count four different instances so far where upper class characters employ workers as physical muscle to assault and manhandle people on command

Very old worn observation here but having seen PSH's thunderstorm work as a lead actor that you can pin an entire movie around, seeing him being a very servile secondary character is super good. This was the first movie I saw him in and it's an excellent facet to revisit

Maude wants to speak to The Dude so badly that she figures out he will be at his local bowling alley and calls the landline there directly to hound him

You can preface every tweet in this thread with "just noticed" btw. Maude summons The Dude with a phone call to his bowling alley and is hounding him about the loss of a million dollars, then instantly chuckles along to social gossip on the phone, because it's *just money* to her, unlike him+walter

Donny gets fully out of the car, slams the door closed exactly like Walter does, and only then is told "Stay in the car, Donny" and is not seen again

The events of the movie are set about thanks to "The Nihilists" who are workers acting in their own self interest, which prompts a reaction from the upper classes who act via their hired henchmen, upsetting trust fund kid Dude and small business owner Walter in the process

Unless I'm mistaken, we never see Donny drinking alcohol in the movie
