It follows the life of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski (<a href="/wiki/Jeff_Bridges" title="Jeff Bridges">Jeff Bridges</a>), a <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> <a href="/wiki/Slacker" title="Slacker">slacker</a> and avid <a href="/wiki/Ten-pin_bowling" title="Ten-pin bowling">bowler</a>. He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity then learns that a millionaire, also named Jeffrey Lebowski (<a href="/wiki/David_Huddleston" title="David Huddleston">David Huddleston</a>), was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski's <a href="/wiki/Trophy_wife" title="Trophy wife">trophy wife</a> is supposedly kidnapped and millionaire Lebowski commissions The Dude to deliver the <a href="/wiki/Ransom" title="Ransom">ransom</a> to secure her release. The plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (<a href="/wiki/John_Goodman" title="John Goodman">John Goodman</a>) schemes to keep the ransom money for the Dude and himself. <a href="/wiki/Sam_Elliott" title="Sam Elliott">Sam Elliott</a>, <a href="/wiki/Julianne_Moore" title="Julianne Moore">Julianne Moore</a>, <a href="/wiki/Steve_Buscemi" title="Steve Buscemi">Steve Buscemi</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Turturro" title="John Turturro">John Turturro</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philip_Seymour_Hoffman" title="Philip Seymour Hoffman">Philip Seymour Hoffman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tara_Reid" title="Tara Reid">Tara Reid</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Thewlis" title="David Thewlis">David Thewlis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peter_Stormare" title="Peter Stormare">Peter Stormare</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jimmie_Dale_Gilmore" title="Jimmie Dale Gilmore">Jimmie Dale Gilmore</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jon_Polito" title="Jon Polito">Jon Polito</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ben_Gazzara" title="Ben Gazzara">Ben Gazzara</a> also appear in supporting roles. The film is loosely inspired by the work of <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Chandler" title="Raymond Chandler">Raymond Chandler</a>. Joel Coen stated, "We wanted to do a Chandler kind of story – how it moves episodically and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery, as well as having a hopelessly complex plot that's ultimately unimportant."<a href="#cite_note-The_Big_Sleep-6">[5]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Film_score" title="Film score">original score</a> was composed by <a href="/wiki/Carter_Burwell" title="Carter Burwell">Carter Burwell</a>, a longtime collaborator of the Coen brothers. The Big Lebowski received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Reviews have since become largely positive and the film has become a <a href="/wiki/Cult_film" title="Cult film">cult favorite</a>, noted for its eccentric characters, comedic dream sequences, idiosyncratic dialogue and eclectic soundtrack.<a href="#cite_note-avclub-7">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-russell-8">[7]</a> In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States <a href="/wiki/National_Film_Registry" title="National Film Registry">National Film Registry</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Library_of_Congress" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a> as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Big_Lebowski&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot">edit</a>]</div> In 1991,<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[9]</a> <a href="/wiki/Slacker" title="Slacker">slacker</a> and avid bowler Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski is attacked in his <a href="/wiki/LA_County,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="LA County, California">Los Angeles</a> home by two enforcers for <a href="/wiki/Pornography" title="Pornography">porn</a> kingpin Jackie Treehorn, to whom a different Jeffrey Lebowski's wife owes money. One enforcer urinates on the Dude's rug before the two realize they have the wrong man and leave. Consulting his bowling partners, <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_veteran" title="Vietnam veteran">Vietnam veteran</a> Walter Sobchak and Donny Kerabatsos, the Dude visits wealthy philanthropist Jeffrey Lebowski ("the big Lebowski"), requesting compensation for the rug. Lebowski refuses but the Dude tricks his assistant Brandt into letting him take a similar rug from the mansion. Outside, he meets Bunny, Lebowski's <a href="/wiki/Trophy_wife" title="Trophy wife">trophy wife</a> and her German <a href="/wiki/Nihilism" title="Nihilism">nihilist</a> friend Uli. Soon afterward, Bunny is apparently kidnapped and Lebowski hires The Dude to deliver a <a href="/wiki/Ransom" title="Ransom">ransom</a>. That night, another group of thugs ambushes the Dude, taking his replacement rug on behalf of Lebowski's daughter Maude, who has a sentimental attachment to it. Convinced the kidnap was a ruse by Bunny, Walter fakes the ransom drop. He and the Dude return to the bowling alley, leaving the briefcase of money in the car trunk. While they are bowling, their car is stolen. The Dude is confronted by Lebowski, who has an envelope from the kidnappers containing a severed toe, supposedly Bunny's. Maude asks the Dude to help recover the money her father illegally withdrew from the family's charity foundation. The police recover the Dude's car. The briefcase is missing but the Dude finds a clue: a sheet of homework signed by a teenager named Larry Sellers. Walter learns that Larry is the good-for-nothing son of Arthur Digby Sellers, a principal writer for the television show <a href="/wiki/Branded_(TV_series)" title="Branded (TV series)">Branded</a>, that Walter reveres. The Dude and Walter visit Larry but get no information from him, as Larry remains mute and affectless through Walter's increasingly volatile and obscene interrogation. Walter assumes a sports car in front of Larry's house was purchased with the ransom and smashes it. The car actually belongs to a neighbor, who smashes the Dude's car in return. Jackie Treehorn's thugs abduct the Dude and bring him to the porn kingpin, who demands to know where Bunny is and what happened to his money. The Dude says Bunny faked her kidnapping and Larry has the money then passes out from a <a href="/wiki/Mickey_Finn_(drugs)" title="Mickey Finn (drugs)">spiked drink</a> Treehorn gave him. He is arrested while wandering deliriously in <a href="/wiki/Malibu,_California" title="Malibu, California">Malibu</a> and evicted by the police chief. On his way home Bunny (whose toes are intact) drives by, unnoticed by the Dude. Maude is waiting for the Dude at his home and has sex with him, wishing to become pregnant by a father with whom she will not have to interact. She tells the Dude that her father has no money of his own, his wealth came from her late mother. The Dude and Walter confront Lebowski and find Bunny has returned, having gone out of town without telling anyone. Bunny's nihilist friends took the opportunity to blackmail Lebowski, who in turn, had tried to embezzle money from the family charity, blaming its disappearance on the blackmailers. The Dude believes the briefcase never contained any money. An enraged Walter suspects Lebowski is faking his paralysis and lifts him out of his wheelchair but his condition is real. Walter and the Dude are bowling when a rival bowler, Jesus Quintana, interrupts them. Walter had previously stated that he could not bowl on Saturdays since he is <a href="/wiki/Shomer_Shabbat" title="Shomer Shabbat">shomer Shabbos</a>. In a tirade, Quintana implies he does not believe Walter's excuse for not bowling on Saturday, threatens Walter and the Dude and storms out. Outside the bowling alley, the nihilists set fire to the Dude's car and demand the ransom money. Walter fights them off but Donny dies from a <a href="/wiki/Myocardial_infarction" title="Myocardial infarction">heart attack</a>. On a cliff overlooking the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a>, Walter eulogizes Donny’s passing, but ultimately ruins it by unrelatedly referring to his fallen comrades in Vietnam. As he scatters Donny's ashes, they are blown back onto the Dude by an ill-timed updraft. As Walter tries to brush off the ashes, the Dude finally loses his temper and yells at him for everything that has happened. After apologizing and consoling the Dude, the two go bowling. At the bowling alley, the Dude encounters the Stranger, the movie's narrator, who sums up everything that happened in the film and states that while he "didn't like seeing Donny go", he remains inspired by the Dude and that Maude is pregnant with a "little Lebowski on the way." <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a

based on a friend of the Coen brothers, Peter Exline (now a member of the faculty at <a href="/wiki/University_of_Southern_California" title="University of Southern California">USC</a>'s School of

told them many stories from his own life, including some about his actor-writer friend Lewis Abernathy (one of the inspirations for Walter), a fellow Vietnam vet who later became a private investigator and helped him track down and confront a high school kid who stole his car.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 99  As in the film, Exline's car was impounded by the Los Angeles Police Department and Abernathy found an 8th grader's homework under the passenger seat.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 100  Exline also belonged to an amateur softball league but the Coens changed it to bowling in the film, because "it's a very social sport where you can sit around and drink and smoke while engaging in inane conversation".<a

title="Yoko Ono">Yoko Ono</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 156  The character of Jesus Quintana, a bowling opponent of The Dude's team, was inspired in part by a performance the Coens had seen John Turturro give in 1988 at the Public Theater in a play called Mi Puta Vida in which he played a <a href="/wiki/Pederast" class="mw-redirect" title="Pederast">pederast</a>-type character, "so we thought, let's make Turturro a pederast. It'll be something he can really run with," Joel said in an interview.<a href="#cite_note-Bergan,_Ronald-14">[13]</a>: 195  The film's overall structure was influenced by the detective fiction of <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Chandler" title="Raymond Chandler">Raymond Chandler</a>. Ethan said, "We wanted something that would generate a certain narrative feeling – like a modern Raymond Chandler story, and that's why it had to be set in Los Angeles ... We wanted to have a narrative flow, a story that moves like a Chandler book through different parts of town and different social classes."<a href="#cite_note-Levine,_Josh-22">[21]</a> The use of the Stranger's voice-over also came from Chandler as Joel remarked, "He is a little bit of an audience substitute. In the movie adaptation of Chandler it's the main character that speaks off-screen, but we didn't want to reproduce that though it obviously has echoes. It's as if someone was commenting on the plot from an all-seeing point of view. And at the same time rediscovering the old earthiness of a <a href="/wiki/Mark_Twain" title="Mark Twain">Mark Twain</a>."<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 169  The significance of the bowling culture was, according to Joel, "important in reflecting that period at the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties. That suited the retro side of the movie, slightly anachronistic, which sent us back to a not-so-far-away era, but one that was well and truly gone nevertheless."<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 170  <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Screenplay">Screenplay</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Big_Lebowski&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Screenplay">edit</a>]</div> The Coen Brothers wrote The Big Lebowski around the same time as <a href="/wiki/Barton_Fink" title="Barton Fink">Barton Fink</a>. When the Coen brothers wanted to make it, John Goodman was filming episodes for <a href="/wiki/Roseanne_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Roseanne (TV series)">Roseanne</a> and Jeff Bridges was making the <a href="/wiki/Walter_Hill_(filmmaker)" class="mw-redirect" title="Walter Hill (filmmaker)">Walter Hill</a> film <a href="/wiki/Wild_Bill_(1995_film)" title="Wild Bill (1995 film)">Wild Bill</a>.

Joel Coen cites <a href="/wiki/Robert_Altman" title="Robert Altman">Robert Altman</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Long_Goodbye_(film)" title="The Long Goodbye (film)">The Long Goodbye</a> as a primary influence on their film, in the sense that The Big Lebowski "is just kind of informed by Chandler around the edges".<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 43  When they started writing the script, the Coens wrote only 40 pages and then let it sit for a while before finishing it. This is a normal writing process for them, because they often "encounter a problem at a certain stage, we pass to another project, then we come back to the first script. That way we've already accumulated pieces for several future movies."<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 171  In order to liven up a scene that they thought was too heavy on <a href="/wiki/Exposition_(narrative)" title="Exposition (narrative)">exposition</a>, they added an "effete art-world hanger-on", known as Knox Harrington, late in the screenwriting process.<a href="#cite_note-McCarthy,_Phillip-24">[23]</a> In the original script, the Dude's car was a <a href="/wiki/Chrysler_LeBaron" title="Chrysler LeBaron">Chrysler LeBaron</a>, as Dowd had once owned, but that car was not big enough to fit John Goodman so the Coens changed it to a <a href="/wiki/Ford_Torino" title="Ford Torino">Ford Torino</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 93  <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre-production">Pre-production</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Big_Lebowski&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Pre-production">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/PolyGram_Filmed_Entertainment" title="PolyGram Filmed Entertainment">PolyGram</a> and <a href="/wiki/Working_Title_Films" title="Working Title Films">Working Title Films</a>, which had funded Fargo, backed The Big Lebowski with a budget of $15 million. In casting the film, Joel remarked, "we tend to write both for people we know and have worked with, and some parts without knowing who's going to play the role. In The Big Lebowski we did write for John [Goodman] and Steve [Buscemi], but we didn't know who was getting the Jeff Bridges role."<a href="#cite_note-Woods,_Paul-25">[24]</a> The Coens originally considered <a href="/wiki/Mel_Gibson" title="Mel Gibson">Mel Gibson</a> for the role of The Dude, but he did not take the pitch too seriously.<a href="#cite_note-Greene,_Andy-26">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[26]</a> Bridges was hesitant to play the role as he was worried that would be a bad example for his daughters, but his daughter Jessica convinced him to take it after a meeting.<a href="#cite_note-28">[27]</a> In preparation for his role, Bridges met Dowd but actually "drew on myself a lot from back in the Sixties and Seventies. I lived in a little place like that and did drugs, although I think I was a little more creative than the Dude."<a href="#cite_note-Bergan,_Ronald-14">[13]</a>: 188  The actor went into his own closet with the film's wardrobe person and picked out clothes that he had thought the Dude might wear.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 27  He wore his character's clothes home because most of them were his own.<a href="#cite_note-Carr,_Jay-29">[28]</a> The actor also adopted the same physicality as Dowd, including the slouching and his ample belly.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 93  Originally, Goodman wanted a different kind of beard for Walter but the Coen brothers insisted on the "Gladiator" or what they called the "Chin Strap" and he thought it would go well with his <a href="/wiki/Flattop" title="Flattop">flattop</a> haircut.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 32  For the film's look, the Coens wanted to avoid the usual retro 1960s clichés like <a href="/wiki/Lava_lamps" class="mw-redirect" title="Lava lamps">lava lamps</a>, <a href="/wiki/Blacklight_poster" title="Blacklight poster">Day-Glo posters</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Grateful_Dead" title="Grateful Dead">Grateful Dead</a> music<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 95  and for it to be "consistent with the whole bowling thing, we wanted to keep the movie pretty bright and poppy", Joel said in an interview.<a href="#cite_note-Bergan,_Ronald-14">[13]</a>: 191  For example, the star motif, featured predominantly throughout the film, started with the film's production designer Richard Heinrichs' design for the bowling alley. According to Joel, he "came up with the idea of just laying free-form neon stars on top of it and doing a similar free-form star thing on the interior". This carried over to the film's dream sequences. "Both dream sequences involve star patterns and are about lines radiating to a point. In the first dream sequence, the Dude gets knocked out and you see stars and they all coalesce into the overhead nightscape of L.A. The second dream sequence is an astral environment with a backdrop of stars", remembers Heinrichs.<a href="#cite_note-Bergan,_Ronald-14">[13]</a>: 191  For Jackie Treehorn's Malibu beach house, he was inspired by late 1950s and early 1960s bachelor pad furniture. The Coen brothers told Heinrichs that they wanted Treehorn's beach party to be <a href="/wiki/Inca" class="mw-redirect" title="Inca">Inca</a>-themed, with a "very Hollywood-looking party in which young, oiled-down, fairly aggressive men walk around with appetizers and drinks. So there's a very sacrificial quality to it."<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 91  Cinematographer <a href="/wiki/Roger_Deakins" title="Roger Deakins">Roger Deakins</a> discussed the look of the film with the Coens during pre-production. They told him that they wanted some parts of the film to have a real and contemporary feeling and other parts, like the dream sequences, to have a very stylized look.<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 77  Bill and Jacqui Landrum did all of the choreography for the film. For his dance sequence, Jack Kehler went through three three-hour rehearsals.<a href="#cite_note-Green,_Bill-12">[11]</a>: 27  The Coen brothers offered him three to four choices of classical music for him to pick from and he chose <a href="/wiki/Modest_Mussorgsky" title="Modest Mussorgsky">Modest Mussorgsky</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Pictures_at_an_Exhibition" title="Pictures at an Exhibition">Pictures at an Exhibition</a>.

I'd reply 'Yes' usually, so Jeff would go over in the corner and start rubbing his eyes to get them bloodshot."<a href="#cite_note-Bergan,_Ronald-14">[13]</a>: 195  Julianne Moore was sent the script while working on <a href="/wiki/The_Lost_World:_Jurassic_Park" title="The Lost World: Jurassic Park">The Lost World: Jurassic Park</a>.

However, with the Dude's apartment, Deakins said, "it's kind of seedy and the light's pretty nasty" with a grittier look. The visual bridge between these two different looks was how he photographed the night scenes. Instead of adopting the usual blue moonlight or blue street lamp look, he used an orange sodium-light effect.<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 79  The Coen brothers shot much of the film with wide-angle lens because, according to Joel, it made it easier to hold focus for a greater depth and it made camera movements more dynamic.<a href="#cite_note-Robertson,_William-23">[22]</a>: 82  To achieve the point-of-view of a rolling bowling ball the Coen brothers mounted a camera "on something like a barbecue spit", according to Ethan, and then dollied it along the lane. The challenge for them was figuring out the relative speeds of the forward motion and the rotating motion. <a href="/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery" title="Computer-generated imagery">CGI</a> was used to create the vantage point of the thumb hole in the bowling ball.<a href="#cite_note-Arnold,_Gary-31">[30]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Soundtrack">Soundtrack</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Big_Lebowski&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Soundtrack">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1129693374">.mw-parser-output .hlist dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist ol,.mw-parser-output .hlist ul{margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt,.mw-parser-output .hlist li{margin:0;display:inline}.mw-parser-output .hlist.inline,.mw-parser-output .hlist.inline dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist.inline ol,.mw-parser-output .hlist.inline ul,.mw-parser-output .hlist dl dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist dl ol,.mw-parser-output .hlist dl ul,.mw-parser-output .hlist ol dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist ol ol,.mw-parser-output .hlist ol ul,.mw-parser-output .hlist ul dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist ul ol,.mw-parser-output .hlist ul ul{display:inline}.mw-parser-output .hlist .mw-empty-li{display:none}.mw-parser-output .hlist dt::after{content:": "}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist li::after{content:" · ";font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist li:last-child::after{content:none}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd dd:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dd dt:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dd li:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt dd:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt dt:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt li:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist li dd:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist li dt:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist li li:first-child::before{content:" (";font-weight:normal}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd dd:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dd dt:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dd li:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt dd:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt dt:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt li:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist li dd:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist li dt:last-child::after,.mw-parser-output .hlist li li:last-child::after{content:")";font-weight:normal}.mw-parser-output .hlist ol{counter-reset:listitem}.mw-parser-output .hlist ol>li{counter-increment:listitem}.mw-parser-output .hlist ol>li::before{content:" "counter(listitem)"\a0 "}.mw-parser-output .hlist dd ol>li:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist dt ol>li:first-child::before,.mw-parser-output .hlist li ol>li:first-child::before{content:" ("counter(listitem)"\a0 "}</style><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox vevent haudio"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary album" style="font-style: italic;

They knew that they wanted different genres of music from different times but, as Joel remembers, "T Bone even came up with some far-out <a href="/wiki/Henry_Mancini" title="Henry Mancini">Henry Mancini</a> and <a href="/wiki/Yma_Sumac" title="Yma Sumac">Yma Sumac</a>."<a href="#cite_note-Altman-35">[34]</a> Burnett was able to secure songs by Kenny Rogers and the Gipsy Kings and also added tracks by <a href="/wiki/Captain_Beefheart" title="Captain Beefheart">Captain Beefheart</a>, <a href="/wiki/Moondog" title="Moondog">Moondog</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bob_Dylan" title="Bob Dylan">Bob Dylan</a>'s "<a href="/wiki/The_Man_in_Me" title="The Man in Me">The Man in Me</a>".<a href="#cite_note-Greene-34">[33]</a> However, he had a tough time securing the rights to <a href="/wiki/Townes_Van_Zandt" title="Townes Van Zandt">Townes Van Zandt</a>'s cover of <a href="/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones" title="The Rolling Stones">the Rolling Stones</a>' <a href="/wiki/Dead_Flowers_(Rolling_Stones_song)" title="Dead Flowers (Rolling Stones song)">"Dead Flowers"</a>, which plays over the film's closing credits. Former Stones manager <a href="/wiki/Allen_Klein" title="Allen Klein">Allen Klein</a> owned the rights to the song and wanted $150,000 for it. Burnett convinced Klein to watch an early cut of the film and remembers, "It got to the part where the Dude says, 'I hate the fuckin' <a href="/wiki/Eagles_(band)" title="Eagles (band)">Eagles</a>, man!' Klein stands up and says, 'That's it, you can have the song!' That was beautiful."<a href="#cite_note-Greene-34">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-flowers-36">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[36]</a> Burnett was going to be credited on the film as "Music Supervisor", but asked his credit to be "Music Archivist" because he "hated the notion of being a supervisor; I wouldn't want anyone to think of me as management".<a href="#cite_note-Altman-35">[34]</a> For Joel, "the original music, as with other elements of the movie, had to echo the retro sounds of the Sixties and early Seventies".<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 156  Music defines each character. For example, <a href="/wiki/Bob_Nolan" title="Bob Nolan">Bob Nolan</a>'s "<a href="/wiki/Tumbling_Tumbleweeds" title="Tumbling Tumbleweeds">Tumbling Tumbleweeds</a>" was chosen for the Stranger at the time the Coens wrote the screenplay, as was Henry Mancini's "<a href="/wiki/Lujon" title="Lujon">Lujon</a>" by for Jackie Treehorn. "The German nihilists are accompanied by techno-pop and Jeff Bridges by Creedence. So there's a musical signature for each of them", remarked Ethan in an interview.<a href="#cite_note-Ciment,_Michel-21">[20]</a>: 156  The character Uli Kunkel was in the German electronic band Autobahn, an homage to the band <a href="/wiki/Kraftwerk" title="Kraftwerk">Kraftwerk</a>. The album cover of their record Nagelbett (bed of nails) is a parody of the Kraftwerk album cover for <a href="/wiki/The_Man-Machine" title="The Man-Machine">The Man-Machine</a> and the group name Autobahn shares the name of a Kraftwerk <a href="/wiki/Autobahn_(song)" title="Autobahn (song)">song</a> and <a href="/wiki/Autobahn_(album)" title="Autobahn (album)">album</a>.
