Austin, Texas, 1976: It's the last day of High School, the seniors are hazing the incoming freshmen, and Kevin has decided to throw a kegger. One freshman, Mitch Kramer, is taken under the wing of Randall "Pink" Floyd, a senior. Meanwhile, a group of nerdy friends, Cynthia, Mike, and Tony, decide to go make their last day one to remember. The two stories dovetail at the party.Dazed and Confused is a 1993 Coming of Age Story written and directed by Richard Linklater. The movie's large Ensemble Cast featured a number of future stars, including Matthew McConaughey, Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Anthony Rapp, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Nicky Katt, and Rory Cochrane.Basically, it's American Graffiti made in The '90s instead of The '70s, and set in The '70s instead of The '60s.The title of the film is derived from the Led Zeppelin song of the same name. Linklater approached surviving members of the band for permission to use their songs in the movie, but, while Jimmy Page agreed, Robert Plant refused. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: All of the ads (trailers, posters, TV spots) promoted it as a Stoner Flick. There's one prominent supporting character and a few bit parts who actually are. On the other hand, weed is a constant presence at every teen gathering, and even those who don't indulge casually acknowledge it. | |

Nothing but Hits | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_43b785f9 | comment |
Nothing but Hits: Played with. Most of the tracks featured are iconic of 70s rock and equally well-known today, but several were fairly obscure genre or regional (Southern American) hits and none were chart-toppers in the year that the picture is set. Like the protagonists in Detroit Rock City (to which the picture has frequently been compared — even in one peer-reviewed academic journal!), the teens in this world do not listen to the music that dominated the charts in 1976. | |

Advertised Extra: Milla Jovovich's character has very little screentime for someone who appears on both the movie's poster and home video covers. While Jovovich hadn't yet achieved the fame she would later, between her modeling career and handful of roles in films like Kuffs and Return to the Blue Lagoon she was possibly the biggest star in the cast in 1993. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin' | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_5f6c6cc1 | comment |
Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Majorly averted. Lots of underage drinking, drink driving, smoking weed, an adult with designs on minors, destruction of property, the main character kisses a girl other than his girlfriend, a group of stoners even get caught trespassing by the cops while they're smoking pot, but not a single person gets in any trouble. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: In his one serious scene, Benny points out to Pink that the latter quitting the football team as starting quarterback during their senior year would jeopardize the entire team, and the head coach is correct in that Pickford's crowd couldn't care less whether the team wins or loses. | |

Nostalgia Filter: Played around with. Being a warts'n'all depiction of seventies teendom, we see all the things they enjoyed and also all the things they endured. Particular note should be made of the scene where last day of school ends, and "School's Out" playing gloriously on the soundtrack... as children run like their asses are on fire to get away from a gang of bullies. | |

Jerk Jock: O'Bannion. All the male hazing seniors are this to a lesser degree, except Pink. O'Bannion is notable for being the most sadistic, and unlike the others, he does not accept the younger kids once the initiation is through. Even Don Dawson, a generally nice guy, casually makes like he's going to punch out a nerdy fellow high-schooler just for the fun of making him cower. | |

Lovable Jock: Main protagonist Randy "Pink" Floyd is the school's star football player, but unlike most of his teammates, he is friendly to all of the cliques - his fellow jocks, the stoners, even the nerds. In fact, it's his insistence to hang out with "losers" like the stoner kids that proves to be a main point of contention between himself and his coach and some teammates, especially Jerk Jock Benny. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Hazing incoming freshmen on the last day of school was frowned upon in 1993 (though not as much as it is today), and the movie seems to toy with the audience's modern-day sensibilities whenever it's depicted. But in the film's 1976 setting, it's seen by the characters as just another traditional rite of passage. Nutritional attitudes are also not quite where they are in the 20-teens: | |

Revenge by Proxy | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_b77eb3b2 | comment |
Revenge by Proxy: Darla's reason for targeting Sabrina at the moontower party is because the latter is Jodi's protégé. While cruising, Darla and BFF Simone get Shavonne to admit that (presumably) Jodi respectively referred to the two as a bitch and a slut. Darla and Simone also observe the latter's boyfriend Pink in friendly dialogue with Jodi outside the Emporium after Pink had told Simone at school that he'd be spending the evening with the guys. What better of a way for a bully to exact revenge by not only going after a younger girl who has difficulty standing up for herself, but that of an enemy's new friend. | |

Evil Redhead: Downplayed with Benny, he's not necessarily evil, just a huge Jerkass, and averted entirely with Cynthia. | |

Nice Guy | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Pink. Gets along well with everyone, has no interest in hazing the freshman, prevents people from getting beaten up, is someone people can talk to about their problems, and can make drunken bullies calm down just by telling them to. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of Pink's friends calls Tony and Mike "Woodward and Bernstein". The very fact that Randal Floyd's nickname is "Pink," an unsubtle nod to '70s Progressive Rock band Pink Floyd. During class Shavonne and some other students are listing the Gilligan's Island episodes. Later in the bathroom, Kaye compares the attractiveness of the TV show's women to the mediocrity of the men, concluding that male audiences are quite pleased with what they see while female fans get nothing. When O'Bannion relates his encounter with Carl's mom to his football buddies, the sign for the Drive-In Theater behind them is advertising Family Plot, the last feature by Alfred Hitchcock. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Mike, when he gets drunk enough at the party to decide to take on Clint, the bully who humiliated him earlier. He figures that he will just sucker-punch Clint, then cover up while everyone runs over to break up the fight (it's a party, after all, and everyone will want to stop the fight so as to keep the good mood going. Right?). Therefore, he won't get hurt. Unfortunately, after he punches Clint, he looks around in bewilderment because people aren't running over to break up the fight, they're running over to watch the fight. By the time Pink and Wooderson finally manage to get through the crowd to pull Clint off, Mike has had his ass thoroughly kicked. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: In a deleted scene right before her confrontation by Darla, Sabrina admits to Tony her reason for participating in the hazing is because she was never able to fit in before. This is Lampshaded in the beginning of the film when Jodi first recruits Sabrina; at the time, Sabrina is hanging with a group of other outcast girls, one of whom can be heard questioning what makes Sabrina so special that she's the only one invited. | |

Breakout Character: David Wooderson. Originally a more minor character, Richard Linklater was so impressed with Matthew McConaughey's performance, he ended up writing much more dialogue for him. | |

Everything Is Big in Texas | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_e35b1a96 | comment |
Everything is Big in Texas: Averted. The film takes place in the suburbs of Austin, but the Texas stereotypes are all missing. Except the high school football stereotype, which is partially averted. The star player, Floyd, is not very passionate about playing ball. Although it is played straight with the adult characters. Austin itself is kind of an aversion both in real life and the movie. | |

Drugs Are Good | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_f0f69743 | comment |
Drugs Are Good: Contrary to popular belief, this film does NOT have this message. Only one character (Slater) is a full-blown stoner, and the negative effect frequent pot smoking has had on his mental health is fairly obvious. On the other hand, multiple characters are shown "recreationally" smoking pot throughout the film, so the real message seems to be "all things in moderation." | |

The Not-Love Interest | |
| Dazed and Confused / int_f1e68523 | comment |
The Not-Love Interest: Tony, Mike and Cynthia, the three most intellectual teens and apparent longtime friends, show no romantic interest in each other, and do not act jealous when they show interest in other people. Though Tony and Mike do get a bad case of Squick when Wooderson flirts with Cynthia, and she obviously likes it. Mike tells us why, though: "Do you realize when he graduated we were like three years old?" Massive flirtation goes on throughout, but serious relationships are barely alluded to by any of the characters. Mitch may have a future with (slightly) older woman Julie, though. | |

| Dazed and Confused / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: With the exception of bitch Darla and asshole O'Banion, all the other seniors adhere to the unwritten rule that once someone has been hazed, they are accepted into the fold. Giving them a beer, taking them out cruising, treating them as equals, making certain to spread the word that someone has been hazed so that they don't get it twice, all of this is done practically right after some male freshman has just had his ass paddled into numbness, or a female student has been run through a car wash. | |
