Dazed and Confused
Directed by Richard Linklater
The adventures of a group of Texas teens on their last day of school in 1976, centering on student Randall Floyd, who moves easily among stoners, jocks and geeks.

positive · AI labelView post →Dazed and Confused was released in 1993, about a day in 1976. A comparable movie released in 2025 would be set in . . . 2008

neutral · AI labelView post →Top Notch is one of my neighborhood haunts, which many of you will recognize as the burger & soggy fries joint from DAZED AND CONFUSED. The location is unchanged from the movie, and boasts a shrine inside with photos, the SOUL POLE, and a faded VHS copy of the film. I quite like the fried chicken.
neutral · AI labelView post →Matthew McConaughey trademarks iconic phrase to stop AI misuse. The Oscar-winning actor has trademarked several phrases, including "Alright, alright, alright" from the cult classic film, Dazed and Confused.
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieHistory On this day, 1993, Dazed and Confused, directed by Richard Linklater, was released. Knowing that music was absolutely vital to the film, Richard Linklater spent 1/6th of the film’s budget on securing music rights. Ironically Robert Plant would not sign off on using Led Zeppelin music.
neutral · AI labelView post →If the movie Dazed and Confused were made today, it would take place in the 70s
neutral · AI labelView post →No film captures the experience of second-half boomers like Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused,” Bruce Handy writes, from the hair and the music to the laissez-faire vibe of parents and authority figures.
neutral · AI labelView post →If Dazed and Confused was made today it would be about the same year as when it was made, because that's what the movie was about. They didn't pick the year and go "that's enough years ago" it was about a specific time period.

Here's a German poster for his spectacular coming of age film OVER THE EDGE (1979) Buried by the studio when it 1st came out, I'm not sure OVER THE EDGE has ever totally gotten its due for what a great movie it is, an influence on everything from DAZED AND CONFUSED to GUMMO
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you have a movie whose reputation has been needlessly defined for you by some totally random person you know? For instance, I always assume everybody hates Dazed and Confused because my classmate Jonathan dubbed it THE WORST MOVIE HE HAD EVER SEEN in eighth grade.

positive · AI labelView post →god I love this movie. (Dazed and Confused)
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway this isn't even that crazy, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, the nostalgic movie the inspired DAZED AND CONFUSED, was only set 11 years before it was released, which would be us pining for the simple, bygone days of 2014

However, the company noted that it was a reference to the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused", and that there's not many available puns for hazelnuts

If you’ve seen the film - there is a lot of driving around - a low rider referring to those pimped out cars with lowered suspensions.
neutral · AI labelView post →The McConuaghey character in Dazed and Confused was an “age of consent” guy, a movie made in 1993 that was set in 1976, everyone got the joke then, to pretend no one understood this stuff in defense of powerful sex traffickers is wild
neutral · AI labelView post →We watched Dazed and Confused with the kids and it occurred to me that if we were making a high school film with a similar time gap nowadays it would take place in 2008 😀

negative · AI labelView post →DAZED AND CONFUSED: One of those movies that gets richer and more miraculous with every passing year. You mean I can just…hang out? With this movie? Well, fuck. Awesome. It’s so clear-eyed about men and the ludicrous hierarchies we construct to feel safe. And so poetic about Time.

I dropped out of law school to go to film school — the idea of practicing law for my whole life seemed a little boring. Until a student mate asked me to be in his film Dazed and Confused.

I grew up in Florida; still, watching the movie is surreal, as much of it very accurately captures my mid-1970s high school experience.
