Dazed and Confused Behind the Scenes Footage

Great comment by Sasha Jenson. How Linklater wanted it to be a day in the life of teens in the 70's. Just a slice of life.

Rory Cochrane and Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused (Richard Linklater, 1993)

Cast: Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, Milla Jovovich, Shawn Andrews, Rory Cochrane, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp, Sasha Jensen, Marissa Ribisi, Michelle Burke, Cole Hauser, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Matthew McConaughey, NIcky Katt. Screenplay: Richard Linklater. Cinematography: Lee Daniel. Production design: John Frick. Film editing: Sandra Adair.

In Dazed and Confused, Richard Linklater does something like what Francis Ford Coppola did for the gangster film in The Godfather (1972) or Sam Peckinpah did for the Western in The Wild Bunch (1969): They took a familiar movie genre, in Linklater's case the teen comedy, and perfected it. Linklater doesn't parody it the way Tina Fey did in Mean Girls (Mark Waters, 2004) or sentimentalize it the way George Lucas did in American Graffiti (1973), though the latter film, with its oldies soundtrack, comes closer to what Linklater accomplishes. But Linklater explicitly rejected the nostalgia of American Graffiti. His attitude is summed up by the character Randall "Pink" Floyd (Jason London), the quarterback who resists signing a no alcohol, no drugs pledge so he can stay on the team: "If I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself." Linklater has said that he wanted to avoid the melodramatic excesses of teen films -- the car crashes and pregnancies -- and to reflect the reality of just "riding around and trying to look for something to do with the music cranked up." Roger Ebert and others have called Linklater an anthropologist. It's easy to see this in his best work, such as the 12-years-in-the-making Boyhood (2014) and the Céline-and-Jesse trilogy, Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), and Before Midnight (2013), in which Linklater takes the time to get to know his characters and the way their experiences have shaped them at specific moments in their lives. But in Dazed and Confused we are offered only a few hours with a host of characters, on the last day of school in 1976 -- the summer that Linklater turned 16 -- and into the evening that follows. There is beer and pot and vandalism -- which gets the vandals shot at -- and some rather frustrated sexuality, but it never turns into anything worse than the seniors hazing the freshmen by paddling them, and the most sadistic of the seniors getting a bucket of paint dumped on his head in retribution. There is no plot as such, but who needs plot when you have a cast of formidable but then-unknown young actors, including two future Oscar winners, to create the characters? Ben Affleck evokes the sadism of O'Bannion, whose obsession with paddling freshmen begins to frighten even his fellow hazers. Matthew McConaughey's Wooderson, the twentysomething slacker who still hangs out with high school kids, is the very embodiment of the Peter Pan complex. He insists "You just gotta keep livin', man," but reveals the unacknowledged sadness within by saying, "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age." Linklater's genius is demonstrated in his ability to tell so much about so many in his huge cast of characters, from the completely baked Slater (Rory Cochrane) to the class nerds (Marissa Ribisi, Anthony Rapp, and Adam Goldberg), in such a short time.

SUBLIME CINEMA #572 - DAZED AND CONFUSED

One of the best stoner comedies, but way more coming of age and touching than something like the Big Lebowski. Linklater is a national treasure, and this movie never gets old.

Dazed and Confused (1993)

I couldn’t have grown up in the suburbs of Austin, Texas in 1976 but after seeing Dazed and Confused it feels like I did. This is not a film about big events. It doesn’t even really have a plot but there’s something about the honest way it looks back at a time that’s come and gone that’s illuminating. It isn’t saying that things were necessarily good or bad. They were just a certain way. It also happens to be funny, touching, quotable and very, very memorable – quite a feat for a movie where not much happens.

It’s May 28, 1976: the last day of classes at Lee High School. Most students are looking forward to their summer vacations. For the graduates, that last bell ring is a sign that life is moving on - maybe without them. For the incoming freshman boys and girls, they have an annual hazing to “look forward” to.

The film features a huge ensemble cast that includes Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Nicky Katt, Rory Cochrane and (most memorable of all) Matthew McConaughey. We flow in and out of people’s days and the only "event" connecting the teens is the date. It isn't about what happens; it's about how it makes you feel. For me, it was illuminating but simultaneously not the least bit surprising. Nostalgic but also critical. Warm but bitter... but mostly warm. Reading between the lines, what does this film say? It talks openly about the high school bullies and how much you HATED them. Ben Affleck's character embodies every crappy person you ever met between grades 9 and 12; the one you wish you could go back and humiliate on camera so you could rewatch their destruction over and over. The way his story plays out probably wouldn’t happen to anyone watching, though it feels like it kinda could have. It’s just fantastical enough that it would make for the greatest “remember that time when?” story ever.

Other characters make you realize that high school might not have been so bad. Randall “Pink” Floyd (Jason London) represents that first step towards adulthood where age and grades no longer matter and you can suddenly befriend anyone as long as the two of you can have an honest conversation about any topic. The biggest victories are when people learn a lesson before it’s too late, or when a guy and a girl finally realize that actually, they really like each other. Car crashes, drug overdoses, teenage pregnancies, explosive drama between friends are problems for another day, another movie. This is about looking back at that one day. You remember that one where we were all just together and that thing happened? Yeah, it was a little weird in hindsight, but kinda great too.

Dazed and Confused is funny because it’s true. Even if you didn’t actually live through these moments because it’s the wrong location, year, language, etc. the plot feels like it came from your past. It isn’t like other films about teenagers because it isn’t a big story, but by being the mirror opposite of those films, it helps paint a complete picture of what life is really like.
