I graduated in '77. It's like they made this movie at my high school. This is pretty much the exact culture of high school back then. One of my favorite movies ✌️😎😄
My mom was a Midland Bulldog. I I’m a Temple Wildcat. We enjoyed beating the pants off of y’all.
Same here, from a mid sizes Texas town like the guys in this movie. It even looked like my HS. I knew every one of the characters in this movie. Seems like yesterday, where did the time go?😀😀
Not my experience in small city brand new junior/Senior high school for my last 2 yrs. NO HAZING. I was in classes with all the jocks and cheerleaders and band geeks.... I was a loner and invisible as I wanted it I guess. Told no one my issues. Still point is... I WAS NOT TEASED OR HAZED. SHOPPIES were those who did crazy things I did not hang with at all. Few of them showed at my 45th reunion and 50th coming up if it happens. I only went to the 40th and 45th almost 30th till wife and I had a fight. Cruising thru the downtown and going up to the mountains was what was common. Wife did... I did not and she stopped when we met LOL.
@@BC-cp8nv Same for me except it was a smaller Wisconsin town. My friends and I all had muscle cars and cruised the back roads drinking beer and smoking a little weed. On weekend nights in the summer we would all go hang out at the gravel pit and party. Even when the cops showed up they didn't really care and would soon be on their way. All they ever really said was "Make sure you put out the fire and pick up your cans when you leave".
Awesome times,awesome music!
"You use to be hall monitor so you wouldn't know." Thank you BJ that made my day lmao...
😂😂
I died laughing when he said that.
This was McCaughnehey's first film. He auditioned for it on a whim. The role was originally very small. The director was so impressed he expanded the role to a much bigger part.
I heard the director saw him at a bar while they were filming and offered him a small role in it.
@@jeremyleforce7926 Matthew's gf worked as a bartender at a hotel bar. matthew found out the guy at the bar was the casting director. apparently the actor who plays the guy with house party plans wasn't vibing the other actors so some of his scenes were replaced with Matthew and was given lines. matthew and the director richard linklater are both from austin, texas too, where the movie was set. edit: sorry remembered matthew is from uvalde tx but was going to school in austin
Ppl wonder how old he is. I tell them "he went to school with the football coaches" 😅😅😅
Alright, alright, alright.
And his catch phrase is still going strong from this role.
We absolutely idolized this movie when I was in high school. It was the mid 90s and I mostly hung out with stoners, goth kids, and gang affiliates. The stoner kids absolutely loved this movie and I definitely count myself in that. Going out with your friends riding around, filling the car with smoke, trying to find a party... it all felt like some grand adventure. Which is exactly what this movie captures. That feeling of being young and meeting the world for the first time. Girls and Beer and Smoke and Breaking the Rules just for the rush. It is such an amazing time in your life. This movie is a love letter to the 70s version of that experience and watching it never fails to put a smile on my face.
i did watch this movie too but it was more far removed for me than the 90s movie Cant Hardly Wait(plus other movies like american pie). that was my "70s" movie.
Oh ya .... Me too.... Punks, Goths, skaters, stoners and some thrashers, about 92 93 but still did in 95
I wanna go back.
Just like us all out here
Hanging out and cruising were all there was to do and supervision was pretty much non existent 😂
Our City Park was jam packed Friday and Saturday nights with hundreds of cars parked and cruising out for a party ride and back. Everybody was there, all different groups of people, there wasn't much else to do. Word would spread that there was a bonfire at Teche Lake Canal road and half the people would end up there from midnight to sun up.
Yep. And these kids really didn't have no worries.. when they were freshman.. the seniors at their highschool still had a chance of getting drafted. By 76 the war was over for a couple years and the draft had ended. So they didn't have that constant worry always in the back of their mind.
and it was so much fun. We were doing stuff like this in the 90's. Life before cell phones and always being reachable was a blast.
Yep, same in early 80’s..before social media and cell phones you went to a few choices spots to see who was out and what was going on.
@shalakabooyaka1480 Even in the mid-2000s, when I was growing up, it was like this. Alot has changed in a short time
The drinking age in Texas was 18 back then. Liquid lunches were very common. And 15 year olds could drive on a hardship license
It was definitely a different time back then. It was pretty awesome for the most part.
Age of consent in Texas is 17, so it would have been legal for Matthew McConoughey's character to be zooming the older high school girls.
Yeah, I grew up in Kansas & went to driver’s ed a couple weeks before I turned 15.
in Indiana, you could drive at 14 if you were on a farm and it required you to do errands for the farm.
Back then the drinking age was 18 just about everywhere
I graduated HS in '75 in a suburban town, and this film was very true to life ... the 70s culture, hair, clothes, behavior, everything very accurate. Thanks for a great reaction! ✌💙✌
I'm here to tell you this movie is very accurate to the time! The freshman hunt was REAL! And when I got caught,it was in the worst possible place....the woodshop class! I couldn't sit right for a week!
Where are you from? I’ve never heard of the freshman hunt before until this movie
@@CatharticCreation I grew up in a rural town in Texas before moving to Houston. Every character reminds me of a specific person I remember from my school. I came up when this sort of stuff was still going on. People could go to school in rock band t-shirts,pot leaf necklaces,long hair,etc. Although my year of graduation ( which I didn't) started cracking down on those sort of things. But I do remember the house parties,keggers in the woods, hanging out at the skating rink/game room. And despite having a swollen ass for a month, I wouldn't trade those memories for anything!🤘
I remember the freshman hunt trying to make a come back in the early 90's at the high school I went to, but it didn't go to well cause a couple freshman brought guns with them, and shot a couple seniors
Its weird because i graduated 2009 in toronto and our year got hazed, guys got lined up on walls and eggs thrown at them while kids like me who knew the older kids already got paddled, some with skateboards. Its weird because our year ddint care to haze at all and it kind of died off the year after our freshhman year, but us and the few years before us got hazed.. not sure if it was always like that or made a comeback in 2000s
@@chadwellington2524 My mother witnessed hazing at my HS in the 80s, but by the time I had attended it was mostly just partying and brawls, no cool little things like this
You gotta remember back in the 70’s we didn’t have the internet, cell phones and we didn’t have cable and streaming tv. We had great cars, great music and some of the best parties. The drinking age was 18. So we had to find other ways to keep us busy like cruising the streets and just hanging out. We actually talked to each other in person. It was the best years of our lives.
Thats why i grew up in the wrong generation!
I graduated from high school in the 90’s so this came out around that time. The 70’s we’re back in during the 90’s. We loved the movie because it still felt very relevant to us even at that time. Suburban kids just cruising around all night and hanging out in parking lots, listening to music and BS’ing. Making grand plans for the future. Throwing parties when your parents are away. It all happened pretty much the same way in the 90’s. Great movie.
LETS GO!!! This is one best high school movies ever made! Great cast, great soundtrack, memorable lines and also the birth of Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey’s careers! Just a great movie overall and an all time favorite me! You’re in for an absolute treat!!!
And spot on match for 1976.
Alright alright alright
It was the birth of a lot of careers like Cole Hauser.
@@alucard624 Rip from Yellowstone, awesome!
Milla Jovovich's early gems as well.
I was 8 during the year when this was set..........the Bicentennial was the hugest thing of all time. That whole summer, everything was red, white, and blue. Kids volunteered and hand-painted literally every fire hydrant in town their own unique designs. Fire hydrants were all red, white, and blue all that year.
I was 11 and I remember just about everyday on the TV they would have those history lesson saying 200 yrs ago today...and they would tell you what happened on that day in 1776.
I was 9 and remember all the crazy '76 themes that yr. I grew up in a neighborhood that had ALL of these characters!! The music is still part of my history!
I was 4 , old foggie, lol
@@brianmcmaster5112 Lol, I guess so, I graduated in 83.
@lisaclark1181 Some idiot painted all the fire hydrants on our street to look like historical figures like Ben Franklin. One lady that had one in her yard made me mad and I picked up a flattened can in the road and scraped it. She called the cops on me but the cops told her it was against the law to paint them and she dropped the charges because she would have been in trouble too. They made her paint it back to red. Lol.
My dad always called it “freshman beat down” and he said it did happen in his school, he likes this movie because it reminds him of his school days 😅
Yeah.. it happened when I was in school lol.. ahh... The good o'l days! haha
The cast has a lot of well-known actors/actresses, Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey are the most successful. Parker Posey, the one who was screaming while hazing the freshmen girls, was in Scream 2 and You've Got Mail. Milla Jovovich, who was the one who made the models of the members of KISS, is from the Resident Evil franchise. Adam Goldberg, the one who wanted to dance and got in the fight at the party, was in Saving Private Ryan. Cole Hauser, the guy who was speaking on the radio at the middle school, plays Rip in Yellowstone. Anthony Rapp, the blonde with glasses that had the dream about the female body with the head of Abraham Lincoln, is famous for the movie Rent and his work on Broadway. Joey Lauren Adams, who played Simone, was in Big Daddy and Chasing Amy. When I was younger, I would confuse her and Jennifer Tilly, because they have the same soft voice.
“Parker Posey, the one who was screaming while hazing the freshmen girls, was in Scream 2 and You've Got Mail.“
-Scream 3.
@@adnap thanks for the correction!
Just a tremendous ensemble cast all the way around. Anthony Rapp was the only one with any decent credits before filming. The rest were all complete unknowns. Linklater and the casting director had a incredible eye for talent! I used to confuse JLA with Renee Zellweger very early on. Speaking of Jennifer Tilly, I'd love for them to react to "Bound."
Adam Golberg was also in Friends, and so many miss Cole Hauser in Fast and Furious 2. Hardly recognizable. His look has changed so much in multiple different movies.
@@ContrarianCornerRenee Zellweger was in this movie, too, but the role was cut. If you're quick enough, you can still spot her in a couple of scenes.
We were free range kids back then. You could easily put 50 miles on your car just driving up and down the main drag. Supervision was at minimum for Gen X. No child seats and no warning labels.
It was a great time to grow up
One of my all time favorite movies, probably because it's my generation, I graduated high school in Texas in 1977, so the music, cars, clothes and everything else was my life. Thanks for your reaction.
‘77 RE Lee grad in Houston…this film was like a documentary to me.
78 here... And even weirder cos it was filmed all around where I lived in Austin.
@@brooksboyd1959 it was Waco for me, everything except the hazing was spot on. 😁
I graduated in 1976, and with the exception of the hazing, this was practically a documentary. The hazing didn’t happen like that at our school, but the partying and cruising, the cars, the girls, the hang out spots, the keggers in the woods, were all spot on. We all had jobs, and money to spend so we were buying gas for cruising, beer and weed for partying. Don’t forget that soundtrack of the greatest era of music ever. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Oh yeah! Class of '76 here as well!
Class of 77 her... NO hazing in small city Appalachia PA. I had a brand new school for junior/senior year in classes with the jocks and cheerleaders and band geeks LOL. I was neither and with my personal issues I never told a sole invisible. No teasing or hazing as I was in every old school for 2 grades each till high school and new one with everything was built. Shoppies were the bad boys LOL and I had no classes or outside of school anything with them.
Me too, 1976... the only hazing in my high school was in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where the freshmen were forced to dip Copenhagen snuff, and eat a brownie! 18 was the drinking age in Minnesota too. I waited until freshman year of college, after football, then the keg party fun began! Pot was not part of it for us, but plenty of drunken nights!
BTW, remember CB Radios? The social media of the day!
I went to a mostly white high school in Austin in the late 70's. Just about everything in this movie checks out. During the 70's "are you cool?" meant do you smoke pot
I can tell Asia is not only unfamiliar with the 70s but probably never did drugs. Bless her ❤😂
@@TTM9691 BJ seemed to get a lot of it, so it turned out okay. Still a cute reaction. But you make a great point.
Can’t believe this is 30 yrs old. Phenomenal soundtrack. An absolute classic!🥂🍿
"You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N."
Definitely one of those films that can make you nostalgic for a time you didn't live in. Generally I prefer a bit more plot in a film, but "Dazed and Confused" has such a great cast of characters that you don't mind hanging out with them for a day or two.
Also, Dazed and Confused is a pretty accurate portrayal of American high schools in the 1970s.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love how the movie follows each character and their Friday night. This also has one of the best soundtracks👍🏼🔥
First time I ever saw Matthew McConaughey. He definitely left an impression 😆
Tons of up and coming talent in this one!
This was MY high school experience. We had the GREATEST music.
I lived that movie I was a teen in the late 70s It was exactly like that for me Great times
Haa!me too! Best time to be a teenager!
I wish I grew up in your generation!
This movie really brings back memories. I was between middle school and my freshman year in the summer of 1976. We didn’t have the paddling initiation but high school was just like the movie. Lots of beer parties, cruising in cars and great music. I didn’t smoke back then but had plenty of friends who did. It was a great time in my life.
Same age... same experience. Love this film!
This truly was the closet example of my teenage high-school years in the late 80s early 90s. But I attended a small town country high-school. And I turned out OK. I own my home and land. I have almost no debt. Kids of any Generation will be kids.
70's and 80's where waaay different for us teens!!! We had more space to run and far less supervision! 🤩
This movie was pretty accurate for the 70s 😂 great music and the party was all weekend 🍻🍻🤠✌️❤️
OMG... HELL YES!! This is my favorite movie of all time!! I can't wait to watch this reaction!! You two ROCK!!
The thing about hazing is it's a lot like tribal ''coming of age'' rituals, you survived it and you were a full member of the tribe.
I was in high school in 1978. Yes the cars looked the same. Yes we cruised around. Yes, we got high in the school parking lot, smoked cigarettes, drank beer and listened to the same music they're listening too. Back then it was Alcapulco gold, Columbian redbed, juaxacan, hash. Concert tickets where 7.00 dollars. The music was awesome. Gas was .62 a gallon. 18 you were old enough to drink. And yes their were guys like Matthew Maconahey there too. Honestly I made alot of bad decisions but it was blast. 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Party Party Party. And the girl you're wondering about is Renee Selwinger however you spell it. Lol.
God bless yall
✌️✌️ & ❤❤
actually, the girl they were asking about is joey lauren adams. she kind of looks and even sounds a bit like a young renée zellweger, but you know her as the lawyer love interest of adam sandler in Big Daddy. ;)
My dad graduated from high school in 1975 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and he told some stories that were very similar to this. Drinking/smoking/partying, lots of cool cars, hazing, and general shenanigans that remind me of this movie! Great reaction,l as always :)
Edit: plus the best music ever
I was a freshman in high school when this was released. I remember thinking how ancient these people seemed, graduating in 1977. I remember thinking “wow it’s 1993, and these people would have been 16 years removed from high school at this point”. And now, in 2023, I’m 26 years removed from high school. Time flies
My sister graduated 81 and was very much a part of the '70s culture. She said she can remember smoking weed everyday before school in her VW Karmann Ghia. Life was so much simpler back then.
I graduated the same year and yes it was like that
This movie is nearly a documentary. I was Frosh 78-79 so a few years after this setting. Very little difference. I recall pushing a penny the length of the south gym bball court with my nose… Believe it or not and taking into consideration there were few adults around, there WAS a hierarchy and checks and balances. Things rarely got TOO out of hand. We self-regulated even though no one told us to. It was pack mentality. It was endurable. Strange days these were. The recent generations would have ABSOLUTELY NO context to compare to. I wouldn’t say they were the best of times but LORD! Things were waaaaay different. This movie is spot on.
"Fast Times at Ridgmont High" is another great teen movie in this vein. Apologies if you've already reviewed it.
Pink's belt buckle-bowl still gets me to this day. What a great idea.
The hazing/initiation is for the rising freshmen to be accepted by the rising seniors, otherwise your first year would be terrible.
There's a drinking game with this movie to take a drink/shot every time mitch touches his face.
It says on your page that y'all are in Texas. Even though it's based in the 70's I think y'all are gonna notice definite Texas personality types . It's based on the real life town of Nassau beach outside Houston and it was filmed in Austin.I love this movie. Very accurate I was a high school freshman in 1979. The older kids were just like the kids in this movie.
This movie is such an accurate depiction of my high school days . ✌️
to settle the debate, the 70's were, in fact, da bomb.
I graduated in 81' This still rings true for me! I got turned on to classic rock early in my life. My 8-track player got me in with the cool kids! Good times! 😎✌️
Senior year, we had more free time (free periods, study hall) and could leave campus like these students could-- also, the last day of school was always laid back, no one got in trouble really for skipping class and just bailing. We had a beach party every year after the last day of school, the official start of the summer!!
This movie NAILED my high school years!
I thank God there was no internet, social media, or digital cameras. No evidence of the stupid and insane things I did back then.
BJ: He’s on third base. He’s going home soon. 😂😂😂
"I didnt know they had carwashes like that back in the 70's". Yep and we had electricity too.
The summer after this movie came out (1994) one of my best friends shared a duplex in Dallas with the guy who played the Soul Pole. We got to hear all the stories and legends from the set long before the internet was a thing. I got to read his original script (signed by the entire cast and crew). The theft of the Kiss statue thingies from the school was supposed to be the main plot, including the arrest of the kids and subsequent appearance in court. But that entire storyline was cut out. So the Kiss statues are sort of around but are never explained in the final cut.
I was 6 in 1976,one of my older brothers was the star high school quarterback and Homecoming King. We lived in what was then a small rural town. No movie is more perfect a time capsule that transports me straight back there then this movie.
OKAY YOU GUYS I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1975, WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE ME ONE YEAR OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THIS MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE!! I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT THIS MOVIE HITS THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD!! THIS IS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS IT WAS IN THE MID-TO-LATE 70S!!
FOR ME IT WAS NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AND THIS MOVIE WAS TEXAS BUT WE DID EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF SHIT!! AND YES PRETTY MUCH THAT'S ALL WE DID WHEN WE HUNG OUT WAS SMOKE WEED AND DRINK!! MAYBE THE OCCASIONAL HIT OF ACID OR SOME PILLS BUT MOSTLY SMOKING WEED AND DRINKING!!!
THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS AND POST HIGH SCHOOL YEARS!! IT WAS A LOT OF FUN!!!
What a quirky, fun movie! I'm from the northeast and my wife is from TX and we live in the Austin area where this film takes place and was filmed. I'm constantly dumbfounded when my wife tells me tales from her youth!😮 Needless to say, my school days were far more boring- or perhaps it was just me.🙄 Always fun watching with y'all.
Really? I would have thought y'all got wild up there. This movie was just like my high school days in Texas in the '80s. You should check out Linklater's later movie called Everybody Wants Some! It's the "spiritual sequel to Dazed And Confused." When the freshman goes to college in 1980. Its great, but didn't get as much attention as this movie did.
@@dreamweaver1603 Too much snow to get wild😄 Thanks for the movie tip, I'll check it out for sure!
@@brilof2112 I hope you like it. And I would like some snow right about now. It's too much heat here to get wild. 🥵
Thanks for this one! This movie never gets old.
I was in high school in the 80’s in central Ms. and this movie is exactly how it was in the small town I was raised in. One of my favorite movies.
One of my all-time favourite movies, and not one I've seen many people cover. Y'all are Awesome! 👍✌❤
I was born in 1962, so 14 just like the freshmen. I can tell you from my experience that life where I lived was EXACTLY like this. You both would have loved it, it was the best....
One of my favorite movies! Saw it for the first time in college and bought BOTH soundtracks! Matthew McConaughey's classic line, "Alright, alright, alright" is iconic! He was about 23 or 24 when he filmed this.
This movie is so much fun. I try to explain to my 16 year old what a hang out or meet up spot was back in the day. People don’t have cell phones, so if you wanted to know where the last minute field party or house party was, you had to go to White Castles and find out where everybody was or was going to. I can’t imagine how poor we’d be if gas was as expensive back then as it is now. 😢Riding around in cars and cruising local hangouts was all you could do to find out what everybody was doing, once you left your house at 7 or 8. The good old days, for sure!
I was in high school in Texas 1970-74 & it was just like that! Keggers in the woods, smoking, having fun!
How to say your pushing 70 without saying you're pushing 70...lol. respect. Im 51.
I love it when mcconaughey's character asks the girl if she needs a ride while she's literally sitting behind the wheel of a car. 😄
I laughed when Asia said "There smoking in the bathroom". At my high school back then we had a smoking barrel right outside one of the schools backdoors. Students were allowed to smoke there and a lot of times there would be a teacher smoking there too.
Yeah, it was before my time but my high school literally had a “smoking cage” students could smoke in. That seems *insane* now.
Another 77 grad here and I literally lived this. From the “stoner” wall outside the HS. My friend and I were late for 1st period by about 10 min every day and had to stand in front of the class high AF and give our excuse, which was different every day. The class would crack up. There was the one older guy who hung out..I had a friend with a GTO and us girls would pile in and “drive around” every night guzzling quarts of beer and doing all sorts of things…we even did the keg parties out in the woods with all cars blasting the same rock radio station. The girl with the GTO had a paddle under the driver’s seat. I won’t tell you what it said…Sometimes I look back and wonder how I survived it all! Every day was an adventure. The music was spot on too!
I dont know why but this is one of my favorite movies that never gets old. I can watch and watch and watch. I graduated in 95 so i cant say i relate to their time period but in a wierd way, i do. Such a classic. I think the way its filmed, its like your there with them as a silent character in the scene or something
Im 63 and a grandpa now but i was in HS then and stoned to be jezzus, drinkin beer, racing muscle cars, listening to great bands. Life before screens everywhere ! It was a very free time to be young and id go back in an instant! It was a blast! Rock and Roll forever! 😂
best 90's 70's movie ever. I am also shocked neither of you noticed Ben Affleck instantly.
Richard Linklater is the master of this type of coming-of-age relatable movie. He works with small budgets so he usually has unknown actors. If you enjoyed this one, I highly suggest reacting to "Everybody wants some".
It's an unusual movie --- it doesn't have much of a plot but it's a terrific movie anyway. It just captures a time and a place and you really feel like you're with these kids, experiencing this night of youthful, aimless fun.
Soon after watching this for the first time, we happened to get 2 pets, a dog and a black cat. We named the dog Shotgun... And I was particularly proud of my choice for the cat's name... Soul Pole. 😎
I was a senior in 80/81 and this is very realistic to how it was then . This movie would have been 4 years before me . Great movie ! Just like Fast Times At Ridgemont High the cast had a lot of newcomers who became stars . Thanks for reacting .
Same class here! Wasn't much hazing, no paddles, but I know some had to push a penny around a toilet seat with their nose.
Omg thank you for watching this. I was born in 1993, the year this movie came out lol and it's one of my favorite films of all time.
This movie is like a documentary of my high school years…same year, same part of the country (Houston, TX). Every weekend was like this, no exaggeration
I was in high school in the 90's ... and this was very much the same for us too, cruising, getting drunk, smoking pot, other drugs. And I was the with the crowd that used to break people's mailboxes and then some (yeah we were stupid at times). All before social media took over the world. Just kids out doing kid things. Our parents never knew where we were and by senior year, they basically just wanted us home before they woke up in the morning. This soundtrack was awesome too.
HELL YES! CLASSIC!
When the star Jason London was asked why it didnt do well in theaters but did amazing on video he replied "because you cant bring a bong into a theather."
It isn't Jeremy it's Jason, his twin brother in this movie. Jeremy was in MALLRATS.
@@jamesleonard9703 thank you I've always mixed up the two I'll fix it
Great movie…like other people said, def one of the best high school movies of all time. You should add Mr, Holland’s Opus” and “The Outsiders” to your list to be voted on. Keep going with the great reactions ❤
I loved Mr. Hollands Opus!!
My oldest brother graduated in 1978 and said this Movie felt incredibly accurate compared to his school experience. I was 8 y.o. in 1976 and from what I can recall this definitely reminds me of that time.
I went to high school in East Texas during the 70's and this movie is exactly like my high school experience.
Yeah Buddy!! One the greatest soundtracks ever!! Benny aka Rip from Yellowstone.
Ben was 20 and Matthew was 23 in '93. Also, Milla was 17 and Joey L. Adams was 24.
Joey Lauren Adams was in ''Mallrats'' and ''Chasing Amy'', with Ben Affleck and Kevin Smith. I was a freshman during the year in which this movie was set. We didn't have school shootings, no metal detectors, we did have some of the hazing events. I think the problem nowadays is people aren't social, they're separated, everybody's afraid of each other. Say what you want about the type of socialization, but people knew one another, everybody went through the same crap as everyone else, people dealt with and moved on, instead of trying to hide from the world. If you can find a copy of the soundtrack for this movie, get it! There's not a bad song on it! Peace!
Great soundtrack. Matthew McConaughey sounds almost exactly the same then as he does now. Matthew was 23 and Ben was 20 when they did this movie 😊
It was EXACTLY like this in my area when I was growing up in the 70's AND the mid 80's. Everybody knew everybody. And 40 yrs later we're still friends, it's awesome. God is great. 🧡
What can I say, this is a killer movie and even more killer Soundtrack!!!. You guys gotta do Mallrats or Chasing Amy next. Hell, do both 😊👍
This is a classic. That was my teen years high school. The clothes, the hair, everything. A lot a future big names in this movie.
If ya'll like this movie, I bet you'd like American Graffiti if you haven't seen it already! Amazing soundrack to boot! Stay Blessed :)
I went to college with the actor who delivered the kegs too early. Didn't know he was in it until I saw him on the screen in the theater. 😂
This is one of my all-time favorite comfort movies!! Have you guys seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High yet?? It's pretty much the same type of movie, teens in the 80s hanging out at the mall and partying etc. It had some major stars in it in their early days just like Dazed and Confused.
This high school, the hazing of freshman, the sports, the hangout spots, the kids and the music are a mirror of my youth! That was a fun time to grow up in and the music was exceptional! I really enjoyed y’alls reactions and commentary. I watch this at least once a year just for Matthew McConaughy’s “alright alright alright!” Lol
Btw Asia when I was hazed as a freshman in that exact same manner trust me when I tell you that our school officials and our parents knew about it and let it happen. It was pretty harmless back then. Hazing now is deadly. No one back then would have ever thought of seriously hurting someone during the hazing. Times have changed unfortunately.
I graduated in 1997 and this movie was HUGE when I was in high school hahaahhahaa.... I'm excited for the memories... lets go 🤣🤣🤣
Classic movie and it launched Matthew McConaughey's career as well as Ben Affleck
And Mila Yoyovich
@@joshuasilvius7854 A lot more,actually but I wasn't naming them all.
Fun fact: this movie was Matthew Mcconaughey's first real acting role (he had a few background character non-speaking roles before this technically) and his first ever spoken words recorded on film was his most famous line from this film: "alright alright alright", which he recorded on the very first day of filming as the very first shot, and it wasn't even in the script, he improvised it and the director loved it. Mcconaughey recently said that to this day he regularly gets people coming up to him and just saying "alright alright alright", or that they ask him to say it, more than anything else he's ever said in a movie lol
I went to high school in 1993, and the most "hazing" we got (as a dude) were senior girls running up and writing "Scrub" on us with sharpies. My brother, who was 4 years earlier, got thrown in a trash can. Times definitely changed every decade, lol.
I dig this movie so much growing up in the 70's and being able to relate to every character because I feel like I knew someone just like them. and it has a kick ass soundtrack. The 70's were great Asia since you mentioned that comment about those of us who were there loving them. and not agreeing that it wasn't a good time. Yes we did a ton of weed, at least a lot of us, but it was just harmless fun. and not uncommon to toke a bunch of times during the day. The stoner guy is in a cool movie called "Love And A .45" among a couple of others. Also want to say Asia, you may have not been cool when you were young but you're pretty cool now. Another funny stoner movie is "Half Baked' with Dave Chappelle and also has some cool cameos and a thing about the dollar bill since it's mentioned in this movie.
if you grew up in a small teXas town in the 70s this is not a movie, it is a documentary. at least in my small town anyways.
I graduated in 91 and discovered this movie in Okinawa in the early 90's. So much cool music and 70's/80's culture 🤟
U 2 people were both to do this job; highly talented reactors ❤🎉
"Where's the chaperones?" Lmao
One of the best movie soundtracks of all time. This movie is soooo lit. Reminds me of High School takes me back
Hey man you got a joint?
It'd be a lot cooler if you did......
No.. Not on me
Asia & BJ, WELCOME TO 70'S HIGH SCHOOL LIFE FROM ONE WHO LIVED AS A HIGH SCHOOLER (as a jock) IN THE 70's!!!, Riding in back of a pick-up truck, VW BUGS & 70's muscle cars, all the funky clothes that all the kids just wore, 70'S MUSIC: LOW RIDER ,SLOW RIDE, KISS music, & Aerosmith.Hazing the freshman so as to be accepted by the Seniors or "to get along you go along". Beer parties and everyone knew the guy living the Cannabis Culture. This movie is THE CLOSEST THING TO A 70's HIGH SCHOOL DOCUMENTARY !!! GREAT REACTION VIDEO YOU TWO !!!! LIKE MATT McC SAYS "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!!! KEEP IT GOING YOU TWO !!!
I was a junior in 1976 and they nailed it.
Cole Hauser is Rip on the show Yellowstone! There was a lot of good scenes in this movie and I remember those times when we hazed the freshman! The movie was made around 95 so we brought back the paddle for our senior year and it was a blast! Yeah I was the one of the people in the orange gto judge. Lol not a real nice person on the weekend! Great movie and reaction!
