no offense but if ben affleck hit me in the ass with that paddle I would be thanking him
A day in the lives of a group of teenagers in the Summer of '76. The way Milla licks a joint. Randy "Pink" Floyd, the movie character I always wanted to be. Erotic-Abe-Lincoln dreams. A Neo-McCarthyism pledge-sheet. Slater-alligator. Never tell your friends to take it easy on your kid brother. Making a bong in shop-class. Alright you Freshman fucks listen up. War stories from your teacher. Running to protect your ass. O'Bannion is a dumb-shit and a piss-poor choice to play the next Batman. Mel's Soul Pole. Ducks on a pond. Having your mommy save your ass. Air-raid you little Freshman bitches. A spit-or-swallow marriage proposal. The worst fuckin' time for the keg-of-beer delivery guy to show up at your…
Perfectly capturing the magical vibe of the 1970s, featuring an ensemble cast of future Hollywood big names & celebrating the restless spirit of high-school life in an unapologetic manner, Dazed and Confused is a funny, affectionate & expertly crafted coming-of-age drama that covers the adventures of various groups of teenagers during their last day of school in the summer of 1976.
Written & directed by Richard Linklater, the film doesn't have any plot but is simply a reflection of the time & era this talented director himself grew up in and is his ode to those unforgettable years most people end up cherishing all their lives. The script itself is full of memorable quotes, interesting characters & pop culture references and the drama is captivating…
Ok, wait a second, let me pick my jaw up from the floor.
Dazed and Confused is another masterpiece from Richard Linklater, whose work has continued to impress. While this isn't as incredible as Boyhood, It's still one of the finest films made about both high-school and the never-ending twilight of youth.
The "story" is nothing. There is really no story. What we have here is a set of miniature character arcs that all take place within a single 24 hour period; the last day of school specifically. The seniors go and try to initiate the incoming freshman, they drink, they smoke weed, they party; and this is basically it. Yet, despite that, Dazed and Confused is monstrously entertaining. The…

Happy 4th of July my American Friends!!!
If I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself.
Dazed and Confused managed to do a lot of things for me... In a lot of ways its plot is minimalistic and its scenes meandering. But in its simplistic and aimless wandering it effectively becomes probably the best "Summer" film, and all around best coming of age film ever made.
With its soon-to-be star studded cast featuring the likes of Jason London, Ben Affleck, Mathew McConaughey, Joey Lauren Adams and Milla Jovovich, and its alway blaring and always toe tappingly energetic soundtrack, the film becomes in essence a time machine not only back…
Straight people use hazing to get out their homosexual sexual frustration... y'all are weird... this movie is boring
Dazed and Confused is the kind of movie that doesn't feel exceptional when you're watching it because everything about it is so effortless.
Every scene, every moment, just feels like a natural progression from what came before it, and the sprawling cast of characters are have their charms and annoyances.
The way it depicts a day in the life evokes so much nostalgia for moments that never even happened. A feel good movie that sneaks up on you.
linklater delivers yet another film that relies completely on dialogue. unfortunately, the jokes weren’t my style so i struggled to appreciate an otherwise objectively good film as much as everyone else in the midnight showing.
my opinions are still very mixed on linklater. i think boyhood is not at all impressive, but before sunset is on my favorites list. which of his films should i watch next?
Movie night with friends part 2: McConaughey and the music are the best parts of this film.
