Review of Dazed and Confused (1993) by Alexander R — 11 Oct 2015

From the first look it seems like this movie is pretty dim-witted and meaningless, but you proceed on watching and eventually realize that some fundamental feelings inside you are rousing up. The first and most important feeling is freedom.

You're like get back to your own days of youth and begin nostalgic no matter whether you lived in 70's or not. By the way if you didn't, you definately start imagining that - the atmosphere of American 70's is presented amazingly.

Absolute freedom, insouciance, joy and freshness would ensure you at least several hours of dreaming. A huge role in this process plays the music - catchy rock'n'roll songs intertwine with the movie inextricably.

However, I suppose that Dazed and confused could be a little bit more dynamic - despite rock'n'roll at some point it might be considered boring. But then you realize again that this movie is about average life, standard problems and simple happiness and everything falls into place.
