Dazed and Confused

Rating:
Summary: Immature, but it's suppost to be.
Review: Very well made movie that follows different groups of people on their last day of school. This movie is run by teen humor, but the characters and strength of plot over power the immature joking. Nicely done, but a little to long.

Summary: I AM DAZED AND CONFUSED
Review: Dazed and Confused is unique because it acurately depicts a time in history. There were lots of stoners last then. I wish that I could be just like Symon. And I want you to know that Slater was right about the dollar bill.

Summary: The anti-thesis to 90210
Review: All I have to do is list a few of the legendary lines to capture the feeling of this film. 1) Alright, alright, alright 2) That's the thing about those high school girls,man. I get older, they stay the same age. 3) I was escorting your fine sons home from school, there were some ruffians about. 4) I was getting there! 5) I came here to kick some as* and drink some beer. Looks like we're about out of beer.

Summary: Pre-PC
Review: This is a fabulous movie because it shows life as it was. It is politically incorrect, thank God, showing doobie smoking, beer drinking, drunk driving and teen age sex. Anyone who went through high school at this time, and probably right now too, understands the characters and what is motivating them.

Not as funny as Fast Times, but enjoyable on a deeper level. Plus a great sound track for people who remembe when Aerosmith was popular for the first time. I drink about 9 beers everytime I watch this just to fit in with the cast.

Summary: A MUST SEE!!!
Review: Another winner from Richard Linklater. In my opinion, the greatest American director to emerge from this decade; (Sorry, Tarrantino!)

This time, the director of "Slacker" explores his seventies high-school years. And it's the quintessential movie about high school regardless of what era you are a product of.

This film has been labeled as doing to seventies high school what "American Grafiti" did to sixties high school. Although I don't wish to knock that superb film from George Lucas, "Dazed" goes a lot further than "Grafiti". "Dazed" explores all the bittersweetness of those years. The good as well as the bad.

There is so much truth in the film. For example, the moment in the film where freshman Mitch Kramer realizes the same seniors who gave a brutal initiation ritual are actually a bunch of cool guys once he starts hanging out with them. That's a genuine experience, that anyone who lived in high school can identify with in some way.

This is the ultimate movie about hanging out beacuse it's really the way real people actually hang out. There's no zany slapstick or "Animal House" antics. It's just a bunch of high schoolers, haging out, cruising, drinking, blasting some Ted Nugent on the car radio, maybe toking some weed, and smashing a few mailboxes.

Having said that this is not a zany high-school movie, that does not mean that it does not have some very funny moments. For me, the funniest moment in the movie is when pothead Slater explains to his buddies how George and Martha Washington usd to smoke a lot of weed in their time: "Did you ever look at a dollar bill? There's some spooky stuff going on on a dollar bill, man. You know, and it's green too!"

This is one hulluva movie with a lot of great performances - Matthew McConaughey has never been better. I love the message in this film of individuality and to just keep on living ("L-I-V-I-N!"). The direction by Linklater is perfect. What more can I say? It's the ultimate party movie!

Summary: What a great movie
Review: This movie was a refreshing change from the typical movies that have come out as of late. It explored many issues (true or not) that were just hillarious. Dazed and Confused is the best plain fun movie of the 90's. The 70's and 80's are known for Cheech and Chong, Fast times at Ridgemont High. The 90's will be known for Dazed and Confused.

Summary: This is the definitive 70's movie. Perfection!
Review: I could absolutely relate to almost everything depicted in this movie. I even have an old Foghat ticket dated May 19,1976. The true test of a great movie is being able to watch it over and over and derive enjoyment from it. For anyone connected to this time-period or for others who just want to know what it was about, I can't recommend a more outstanding movie. Linklater's a genius.
