Dazed and Confused (film) - Wikipedia
1 week ago - The film has no single protagonist or central conflict; rather, it follows interconnected plot threads among different social groups and characters, such as rising ninth graders undergoing hazing rituals, a football star's refusal to sign a clean-living pledge for his coach, and various characters hanging out at a pool hall. The film features a large ensemble cast of actors who would later become stars, including Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Matthew McConaughey, Nicky Katt, Joey Lauren Adams, Rory Cochrane, and Anthony Rapp.

In 'Dazed and Confused' (1993) when Matthew McConaughey said "Hey, watch the leather, man!" and starts laughing he was high for real. He recently talked about it in a Howard Stern interview.
Pretty sure the majority of scenes everyone was stoned. More on reddit.com

Matthew McConaughey’s character from dazed and confused is supposed to be a loser right?
You already alluded to the paradox in your question. He is absolutely a cool guy... to high school kids. He's the guy who is holding onto his popularity and allure rather than growing up. They don't really contrast that though with anyone more mature. Either way he's a GREAT character. More on reddit.com

How Dazed and Confused Gave Us Matthew McConaughey's Vibe
June 30, 2023 - McConaughey usually plays it off as serendipity—the “right bar at the right time,” where two guys just happened to get tipsy and trade golf stories, until one of them happens to mention that he’s working on a movie. But as Linklater would tell Melissa Maerz in Alright Alright Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused, this is pure, self-mythologizing bunkum.

Watch: Matthew McConaughey Stays The Same Age In His Original ‘Dazed And Confused’ Audition Tape
January 13, 2015 - Speaking of flying high, it’s hard to believe it’s been over 21 years since McConaughey appeared in his first film, Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.” Of course, his “alright, alright, alright” has long since become an iconic and oft-repeated line from the movie, but who knew exactly what the future held for the then-23-year-old actor when the film came out in 1993?

September 10, 1993 - Only recently did I realize McConaughey was in this. It was a weird movie that like Fast Times at Ridgemont high, goes nowhere. But that's the point.

January 13, 2015 - Matthew McConaughey's had a hell of a career, and with the recent McConaissance and all, it's sometimes easy to forget where it all started—Richard Linklater's 1993 stoner comedy Dazed & Confused. For much of his early years, David Wooderson and McConaughey almost entirely melted into the same person, one who smokes, philanders, and looks damn good doing all of it.
