Dazed and Confused

This is a The years between 13 and 18 are among the most agonizing in a lifetime, yet we remember them with a nostalgia that blocks out much of the pain. This is a truth well understood by "Dazed and Confused," Richard Linklater's film about the last day of school and the long night that follows it. The film is art crossed with anthropology. It tells the painful underside of "American Graffiti." In a small town, classes let out for the summer, and uppe

What’s so good about Dazed and Confused (1993)..don’t understand the love.

It’s just a fun, lovingly-made time capsule of the 1970’s and teenage freedom during the summer with a great cast and soundtrack.

American Graffiti or Dazed and Confused?

I think it depends on the mood. Graffiti tends to prey upon different feelings of nostalgia than Dazed does, at least for me. I feel like the former hits upon ideas of "what could have been" whereas Dazed captures that reckless teenage spirit that burns out in everyone. I love both, but I'm always hit with this weight of sadness after Graffiti that isn't there at the end of Dazed. The only thing I'm sad about with Dazed is that I can't be riding shotgun.

Dazed and Confused just left me…well, dazed and confused, and not in a good way
I love the movie, it feels very "in the moment"--like you're really there with kids on that specific day. It isn't looking back on it to say anything or looking forward, it's just a day in the life of some kids and what they're going through. Even though "not much happens" I found myself immersed in the events of the movie and along for the ride. But that's a very specific type of movie that definitely isn't for everyone.

And I must be honest: the first time I saw Dazed and Confused, I was disappointed. It just didn’t seem realistic; it was like a cinematic caricature. The fashion seemed exaggerated. The hazing seemed implausible. The idea of teenagers in a car being shot at for wrecking a mailbox seemed ridiculous. It was entertaining, and I appreciated the fact that the word man was said 185 times in casual conversation, but I had waited a year for this. The movie inside my brain was still better.

January 31, 2020 -

I was a fan of Richard Linklater’s Before trilogies. Boyhood was alright. Someone recommended to watch Dazed and Confused so I gave it a try. I liked the fact there were a lot of would-be A-listers such as Matthew McConaughey, Mila Jovovich, Ben a fleck etc . However, the plot was non-existent and the characters were super unlivable and annoying. It’s just bunch of teenagers bullying, smoking weed, partying and being rebellious for an hour and a half.

I get it that’s the point of a lot of teen movies. But why is this movie held in such high regard? It’s basically a 70s version of Superbad but at least Superbad was more entertaining and exciting to watch. I’d rather watch Clueless than D & C and that’s saying something.

Could it be because of its portrayal of the 70s teen and kinda triggered the 90s moviegoers nostalgic feelings? Anyways, watching it in 2021, it did not work for me.

September 26, 2024 - Richard Linklater wanted his first studio film, Dazed and Confused, to be an “anti-nostalgia” movie. After all, it was all about being a high school kid in the ’70s—which obviously sucked, right? But then, something funny happened. First, the cast and then the audience came to the opposite ...

Dazed and Confused says a lot more than you think — Uniquely Aligned
January 16, 2020 - The movie can be seen as slow for this reason; the majority of the film is a conversation—not much plot, not much progression, just humanity, in its discomfort and connection. But that’s what I loved about it. Realizing that Linklater directed Dazed, I recognized that I might have read the film wrong.
