Synopsis:
A day in the life of some 70’s teenagers.
Review:
Dazed and Confused is to the 70’s what American Graffiti was to the 50’s.
That said, this movie is simply entertainment. So don’t expect any life
changing messages or moral themes. There is a sub-plot surrounding drug
use, but it’s on the back burner for most of the movie. I felt it was
tacked-on to provide an ending to the film, but I’m fucking stupid like
that.
What I enjoyed most
about this movie were the scenes in which the Seniors are hazing the Niners.
It looked like good clean fun to me (of course I’m speaking from a “Seniors”
point of view).
Special Features :
The special features on this DVD were fucked up. It say’s in the accompanying
booklet that there are production notes, cast & filmmakers’ bios and the
theatrical trailer. So where the fuck are they?
The only thing I
could find where the production notes, and a filmography of Director Richard
Linklater (which was pretty fucking pathetic). I think those stupid motherfuckers
over at Universal got into the spirit of this film too much while coding
this DVD. Do us favour next time guys, smoke the bowl after work in the
future.
Video and Audio:
On the positive side the video transfer is nice and clean, and the Dolby
5.1 sound beats the hell out of any 8-track I’ve ever heard.
“I’m sorry, Ma’am.
I was just escorting your fine young son home from school. There’s some
ruffians about and I… Oh, and a, Mitch, Carl, we’ll be seeing each other
again. Oh, that’s it! I fucking saw that you little sack of shit! You
two are fucking dead! You hear me? You’re fucking dead! Arghh!” - O'Bannion
