    I have tears in my eyes right now. I'm 43 years old. Meaning I was 13 in 1994. The time this movie came out on VHS. I'd rent from Blockbuster multiple times. Watching late night before going to sleep. When it'd get to the part where Mitch Krammer is making out with the girl and getting dropped off at home, a feeling of melancholy and sadness would come down on me. Because the film was over, and as Tarantino says, the "hang" was over. But of course, that feeling was really beginning when Lenord Skinnered Tuesday's Gone would play. Once again, I am 13. I hadn't even begun high school yet. I'd soon be the incoming freshman. The Dazed and Confused moments for me wouldn't kick in until junior semester. By then, Dazed Confused faded into the background because I was now living it. The 1970s was mysterious to me. It always felt like I missed out. The movie is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you all involved.

      I could have written this exact thing myself, I'm a year younger than you and pretty much felt all those exact feelings you described whenever I watched this movie. It's been one of my favorites ever since it first released on VHS until this day. I still try to watch it every couple years and it still holds up so well.
      I loved being a teen in the 90s, but damn I bet the 70s were great, this movie makes that decade seem like it was so much fun and we missed out.

      Born in 64. We lived it and have some great memories. It was all fun and games as a kid but looking back, the 70s were a bit hard on our parents due to Vietnam, Iran and inflation as well as the gas shortage. I was happy as long as I had gas for my ATC110 and had enough money for the latest KISS album. 😊

    I like his remarks that close out the video, that the D&C kids are not individual characters as in most movies, but a whole community of people we as audience has gotten to know, that they are, beyond the context of Texas or the Seventies, representative of a universal human experience, of being a teenager.

    This movie came out when I was 16 years old and living in a small city in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. It was a perfect, and I mean perfect, reflection of my life at that time. It felt like every bit of this film had either happened or was happening in my life.
    I cherish this movie. It's like a high-quality documentation of my teenage years.

      Yeah, it was so well done, it transcended eras. Sure it takes place in the 70s, but I went to high school in the 90s, and I could tell you who in my school was the Slater, and who Dawson or Pickford or even Wooderson was. I think we all had those types of characters in our lives.

    What's so brilliant about this movie is that it takes place in the 70s but if you show it to any teenager they will relate with it because no matter the decade (I graduated in 2013) it just captures what it feels like to be in highschool.

    I remember in the 90s, I had Starz and Encore, and from 93 till the end of the decade, I probably saw Dazed and Confused a couple of hundred times. If I was flipping through the channels and the movie was on and it was before the baseball scene, 90% of the time, I watched the rest of it.

      I had a similar experience in college in the late 90s/early aughts. They had movie channels that would just play the same movie on a loop for a week and Dazed and Confused was in the rotation maybe 3 times a year. I think I've seen it about 100 times but I don't know that I've ever sat down and watched it beginning to end.

      @iambecomepaul 26 дней назад

      I was just a shade younger than you but in Central Illinois, nonetheless. I totally agree. As an artistic piece, it’s the closest analog to the essence of those times. It’s amazing to recall how easy it was to get a small group of kids together. We’d drive over to some kid’s house, go in, their mom might give us a slice of cake or something, someone would smoke a cigarette and off we’d go… to do SOMETHING. Maybe we’d just cruise around. There’d be chicks SOMEWHERE lol. TV wasn’t a big draw for us and there wasn’t an internet to distract us. Video games were at the mall… not in your house yet… and we were poor, so there’s that. All we really had was each other. And community actually MEANT something. It was just different. I won’t say better. No rose colored glasses. It was just different. Closer. Easier.

    "It makes you feel like they're your friends and you're hanging out with them." That's what Linklater does so brilliantly: puts you in there as a fly on the wall where you're just watching the characters be who they are. Same from _Slacker_ through _Boyhood._

    The seniors were the graduating class of 1977 and the freshman class were1980. Tarantino and I are the same age 61 and we are one year younger then the freshman class of 1981. Very accurate portrayal of the times with the exception of the seniors running around paddling the freshman class. seniors did their own thing and as far as they were concerned freshman didn't exist. I can't speak for Texas where the movie took place

    Its funny because the way he views this movie is exactly how i view Pulp Fiction and its characters, especially after rewatching it more than 10 times, feels like visiting friends and that same thing applies to Reservoir Dogs since that movie is also mostly banter as the plot is actually pretty short and concise.

    I was in high school when this came out and watched it six times in the theatre over the course of its run. Each time I saw it the theatre had more and more people until the last couple times the showings were sold out. It helped that tickets were only $.99 at the second run (discount) theatre lol. People were quoting lines out loud as they were said during the movie. Never saw a cult following form before my eyes like that before or since. I'll always love this movie and Quentin is spot on about it.

    "Dazed and Confused" owes a lot to "American Graffiti" .
    Graffiti came out in 1973 and was about kids during the last evening of summer vacation 1962. The movie was made for Boomers.
    Confused came out in 1992 and was about kids during the first afternoon/evening of summer vacation 1976. The movie was made for Gen X.
    Millennials and Gen z. Where's their movie? What would it be like?

    It's the only movie I've ever seen that actually accurately depicts high school for most white middle class kids in the 70s and early 80s, especially the bullying AND how sometimes people got delicious revenge on bullies. Also the general lack of direction lots of teens have as well as how they all crave excitement to punctuate their boredom. When it came out I felt like someone had followed me and my friends around high school for a year.

    This movie came out when I was in high school and I initially hated it. Unlike most of the films of that era about high school, the oppressed nerds rally in the end if not to defeat their oppressor. Or at least win a moral victory. In this film (for the most part) the cool kids win, the status quo is maintained, and the oppressed remain so. That, and as a straight edge kid in the 90's, I didn't like its celebration of alcoholism without consequences for their actions.
    Seeing this film as an adult I had a different outlook. The cool kids win, and the status quo is maintained because that's how life works in high school. They show you Wooderson who is still young enough looking and charming enough to perennially hangout with the high school kids (something I found creepy as a 14 year old), but they don't show you a few more years down the road, balding and losing his physique, the high school girls are now scared of him. High school must end for all of us is the true theme of the movie. It must end for Bannon, even if he has to repeat his senior year three times. It must end for Floyd, that yearns for more than high school stardom, and it must end for Wooderson, whose good looks and rock-n-roll attitude will eventually erode, or he will one day go to jail for sexual assault. The 'losers' in high school go on to be winners in life. Those that cannot leave high school behind cannot win at life. Knowing that the film silently acknowledges all of these things, I truly enjoyed it in my college years, and recommend the unofficial sequel - Everybody Wants Some.

      @Almeida5 29 дней назад

      That's hilarious, because I've posed this question to myself on a few occasions. If I could be a teenager again, but it would have to involve growing up in today's world, I'm comfortable enough being 53 and even though I'm aware that I've lived 1/2 my life, possibly 2/3's and maybe even 3/4's of it, there is no way in hell would I forfeit what I experienced. I do remember the 70's but not enough to say I truly lived it. What I can say, the vibe was totally on, regarding how people lived day to day life and their somewhat common headspace. Having grown up in the 80's, I would say the decade characterized much of what the 70's was about. As we got into the mid 90's and after, what you see in this movie, all but disappeared.

      It is an interesting juxtaposition, considering that Dazed is set in what was the present when Graffiti was filmed (more or less). Both films are set in a past twenty years from the time of being filmed. I have to be honest...I don't feel at all nostalgic about 2004 (writing this in December of 2024).

    I really liked the film, however I think that the freshmen and the adults needed to put a stop to the hazing that was going on. Why is no one talking about this. The freshman should have told the seniors, like in the UNTOUCHABLES "You put one of our guys in the hospital, we put one of yours in the morgue."

    Genuinely disappointed when I saw this a number of years ago. Overrated. Dull story and characters

    Thinking movie characters are your friends is beyond lonely, it's just sad & pathetic.

      ​@@petebondurant58 start by stopping the passive-aggressive sarcastic BITCH like behavior...then learn the difference between being "cool" & not being "sad & pathetic" by thinking fictional figures are your friends. I'm sorry I hurt your guys's feelings my picking on your pretend buddies & you're none existing friendships.
