Dazed and Confused (1993)
Director: Richard Linklater
Writer: Richard Linklater
Cast: Jason London, Wiley Wiggins, Matthew McConaughey
Genre: Comedy Drama
The far out adventures of junior and high school students on the last day of school in May 1976. Ablaze a cloud of smoke and beer drenched shirts these kids are going to make their last school day one to remember!
Dazed and Confused is an earlier work by a well respected writer/director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunset)
I loved all of the great 1970s rock music and all the cool cars in this movie. There's lots of cool cars in this film. The four main characters in the photo above were all interesting. I would've liked to known more about where they came from and where they were going. But this is a free-form Linklater film with the emphasis on the visual action. There's not much focus on a traditional story line or character development. We simply observe these kids as they go about celebrating the end of the school year.
This film features some big name stars early in their careers:
Matthew Mcconaughey, Adam Goldberg, Milla Jovovich and Ben Affleck. Keep your eyes peeled when watching this one.
I'm not sure if anybodies school days was ever this riotous. Sure it's the late 1970s but there's a lot of stuff happening, from hazing of the jr high students who are coming to the high school in the following year, to parties and wild times and fast cars. But then again this is a comedy and stuff like this did happen, Relax and groove on.
