I watched Dazed and Confused yesterday night, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There are many scenes that I have seen from this movie before watching is, such as the ‘You got a joint?’ scene and the ‘I get older and they stay the same age’ scenes. This movie is one of those classic teenager movies, showing all the different high school stereotypes that can be found. The plot is disjointed, and feels like a bunch of different, shorter stories combined together. I didn’t mind that, but the lack of a strong lead to connect with or a deep plot prevents the movie from becoming joining the ranks of amazing movies like Forest Gump or Fight Club. I’m not saying I didn’t like this movie. Many of the characters have traits that you can connect with and understand them. As a comedy (which this movie is), the film goes up there in my ranking for comedies, as I enjoyed the movie throughout. Dazed and Confused is almost a character study, but with a huge amount of characters and very little studying. I did enjoy the plot of Pink and his issue with the paper he has to sign, but I was surprised to see it take a backseat to the antics of the other stories. Oh I almost forgot! Matthew Mcconaughey is in this movie! It was hilarious seeing him play the role of the semi-creepy graduate who hooks up with high school girls, instead of a more serious or interesting role. It felt like he was having fun playing his character, and wasn’t taking the movie too seriously, which is good because neither does the rest of the cast, or anybody really. It’s just a very fun movie to watch. I watched it alone, and would recommend watching this movie with a group of friends as opposed to being alone. Also it was good stoned, I might not have enjoyed it as much sober because I might have been slightly too critical of it. Solid movie, will probably rewatch it in a few years to show some stoned friends a solid movie.
