Lebowski Narration

The Big Labowski by the Coen Brothers only has a little narration, but it goes a long way.















Here Sam Elliot is an unbiased narrator who doesn't in fact say a lot. In fact he's quite human and although that may sound like a rather strange point to make, I make it for my own highly relevant reason; all too often narrators are rather like robots, all they do is boom down from on high in an emotionless, godlike manner. No, sam is one of the people and with quotes such as "say friend, ya got any more a that good sarsaparilla?" (directed at the barman) and "now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from".

Hey despite being a old moustached redneck, I can relate to him a hell of a lot more than one's average narrator.
