I missed some bits of it here and there, so I have yet to see the entire thing at once, but it was better than I expected. And seeing some of those actors back then is fun.
the greastest stoner movie ever losts of big name actors great moviemust see must own and remember I get older and they stay the same age lol Matthew McConaughey
This movie is awesome makes you want to live in the 70s and have one of those awesome partys. McConaughey is offical cool in my books after seeing this only one bad thing not enough milla jovivich.
ok, everyone loves this movie but, I don't get it.... it didn't seem like anything special and I barely liked any of the characters... perhaps I would have liked it better if i had seen it when i was in high school?
This was a good look into the night life of an american teen. I remember nights like this where my friends and I would wander aimlessly looking for something to do and this flick captured that feeling and chaos and adventure. The casting worked well as we see some big stars inhabiting the roles of these direction-less teens. The music is as much a character as the folks on screen and the flick boasts an impressive soundtrack.
It's the last day of school and the class hierarchy bickers or meshes together in the 'party of your life', or so it seems. There's a silly message found amongst the laughs, but the mischievousness that you would expect from stoner clans entertains... dude.
this movie was pretty interesting and good, though it made me a little mad that there was no way any of us would get away with any of that in high school...
mathew mcConaughey, ben afleck, adam goldberg, parker posey, milla jovovich, are seen in very early roles here, showcasing there talent at a younger age, in richard linkleters love letter to 1970s austin texas, and a look at the last day of high chool, and eventual night full of partying that will go on, we follow the young freshmans atempts to stop from getting hit with a bat, by the older students, a tradion that goes on, there various atempts at escape and eventual capture is boh funny and cruel to watch, and the older guys and girls as they parade around the town just chilling and hanging out, looking for the next party or musing over there future, all charactors weave in and out of each others lives during the night, and is fun keeping up with storys, the time period looks great, and soundtrack is superb, of all the up and comers in film, rory cochrane was great as his stoner charactor, high all the time, and saying some mad things, and very iconic in his long hair and hat, afleck as bully looking for kidsto hit is also superb, playing a arsevhole wery well, and mcconaughey playing a much older wannabe high school drop out football player reliving his youth shows he can pull something off when hes not doing the stuff hes now doing, you could argue this is similer to george lucas,s american graffity, but manages to be quite diferent, with before sunrise this is linkleters best film, and a film perhaps because of setting asent aged since its 1993, release
The Outsiders...70's style! Ok, not so. Another great soundtrack. One of my fave lines, besides Slater's 'history lesson', of course: "Wipe that face off your head, b*tch!"
Even though the movie is set in the 70s, it still depicts the feelings and confusion of getting older perfectly. It really shows that things weren't that different, even 30 years ago.
Dazed and Confused is the story of the last day of school in 1976 and the impact it has on the lives of the students of a small suburban town. Drugs, muscle cars, drugs, arena rock, drugs, feathered hair, and we can't forget the drugs permeate this film from writer/director Richard Linklater. When looking at the film from the outside it seems to be yet another teenage sex comedy like Porky's a decade before it and American Pie a decade after it. But what Linklater has created amounts to a modern retelling of the 1973 film American Graffiti, instead of it being 1962 it's 1976- a whole different era but the same old problems. This film could have fallen into the forgotten realm of teen sex comedy, but it has more of a heart than is apparent by the stoner images on the box. Dazed and Confused could have taken the low road and made a mint, but went on the less traveled road of telling a good story with characters that are more than just flat bread.
Linklater rules, one of my fave directers what i'd give to live in this time, Linklaters film offers nothing but love for the 70's, its really funny stuff about high school and growing up check it out
I once rented a VHS of this movie way back 1994, it was a video rental that once existed in Bahayang Pag-asa near the Shell gas station . My first impression of it's cover was it is just another teen flick movie, it's true that it is but I enjoy this so much.
I thought that this was an intresting movie and that it was cool to see what life was like for teenagers in the late 70' s. I loved the culture of the 70's, the bell bottoms, puka shells and machrama. I liked Michelle even though she didn't say much and Randy "Pink" Floyd was cool except I didn't know Ben Afflek was O' Brian. I wished that everyone didn't cuss so much it pretty muched ruined the movie, I mean younger people should be able to see this movie but the chracters used the F-word too much.
