So the 1993 film “Dazed and Confused” is set on May 28, 1976—45 yrs ago today—-the last day of school. As someone who lived in that era I thought Richard Linklater captured that era with both wryness and affection.
I watched that recently, either last year or the year before. One of those movies that gets talked about so much, I had to add it to my To See list just so that I could say that I had seen it. The best part of it for me was waiting for another famous person's face to pop up on the screen every two minutes. Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Matthew McConaughey, Joey Lauren Adams, Anthony Rapp and Renée Zellweger.
And the soundtrack had some songs I really like as well:
Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo
Fox On The Run
Cherry Bomb
Low Rider
Right Place, Wrong Time
Summer Breeze
Show Me The Way
