Dazed and Confused

Dazed and Confused is definitely one of my favorite movies. This movie centers around various groups of high school students in 1976 Texas on their last day of high school before their summer prior to senior year. As this last day ends, the upcoming seniors haze the incoming freshmen as a ritual by paddling them and humiliating them. After the hazing takes place, the summer begins and the high school students go on about their start of summer, mainly driving around and drinking and smoking. The film intricately observes the several groups of high school students and how they interact, and also their problems, issues, plans, etc. mainly anything that a common high school student during that time would do. An interesting thing about this movie is that Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck star in it. McConaughey plays a rather humorous role of a man in his early 20's who still associates himself with high school kids. Another interesting things about this movie is that the actor Adam Goldberg-who plays an insecure high school teen that gets bullied quite often, and at the end of the movie he fights the bully who's been bothering him- plays a tough guy hitman in the recent series Fargo on FX. Quentin Tarantino notes this film as one of his all time favorites and one more actress that is well known in this film is Milla Jovovich, the main character of Resident Evil. I highly recommend this film to anybody who hasn't seen it because it's definitely one you can not miss.
