Yeah, I wish I had gotten laid in high school too

It's what girls do for approval

It makes me feel like a white knight. I wanted to stop her from ever doing this.

Just watched this the other night. The whole movie is sad. Pink turns on his teammates, and throws away from the only meaningful success of his life to hang out with a retarded pothead and a pedophile stuck in his glory days. His reasoning? He doesn't want highschool to be the best time of his life. Except that's precisely what he's guaranteeing. His fate is the grocery store clerk that sells Mitch alcohol, because money in your pocket is more valuable than everything else in life. Mitch, a kid who has promising baseball prospects is lured into hard partying before he's even started freshman year. He thinks it's lame that anyone would purposely flunk just to relive their senior year, but that's exactly where he's going to end up. And of course, his mother is okay with this, thinking that the first time is somehow going to prevent a second? This is of course the same mother who points a shotgun at a senior to stop her son from getting a harmless paddling. Almost every character that starts in a good position at the beginning of the movie is reduced to a sad shell of who they were, chasing nothing but the next thrill. Hardly any movie could do a better job of arguing that sex, drugs, and rock and roll are the work of the devil.

It was really degrading. Hazing can have a somewhat positive effect as ceremonial rite of passage which clearly delineates childhood and adolescence, but the explicit sexuality of it is perverse.

She wants to be with someone who makes her submit

It really is a sad movie. Maybe I'm just too old.

The pothead seemed like he had some ambition, at least compared to everybody else

I agree there's a lot of devil/Christian symbolism. Notice the number 33 on Mitch's baseball uniform, as he heads willingly to his "crucifixion" by
paddeling to allow his friends to make their escape. Jesus was crucified at age 33, also notice Mitch's long, Christ-like hair. The slow-motion washing of the girls in the car wash after hazing is both sexual and baptismal. They are reborn into women by the savagery. The hill where Mitch is making out with the older girl is clearly Edenic. And when Pink finally "throws" his unsigned pledge at his coach (which could be a Faustian bargain) he has chosen to "throw the first stone" another Christ like parallel, also referencing his position as quarterback, where he is the only player on the team who "throws". Is he throwing his life away? Possibly, but there's simply no way of knowing. Of course, the clearly Satanic face he makes after this "sin", with his tongue sticking out like a member of KISS (Knights in Satan's Service) implying his has made the wrong, selfish decision and has moved his life towards degeneracy. Considering how awful the actual actor's life turned out this seems very possible.Other things I like about this movie: the fact that Pink and Miles clearly seem to represent the same person at different points in their life, a theme scene throughout Linklater's work, The have the same hair, same personality, and have the same position in their respective sports, pitcher/quarterback. Boyhood and the Before trilogy are two examples. And the last line Mitch says to his sister talking about their mom, "Just don't ask her to take it easy on me", referencing the line she says to the football players earlier in the film, which causes them to obviously treat him far worse (and they even reference this by playfully spanking her before leaving school) but in turn causes Pink to take him under his wing, leading him to the upperclassmen party, hooking up with an older girl, and moving him into adulthood.

Surely high schools weren't really like this back then, this is like 7th grader behavior. No one older than 14 should be doing this crap

This guy's hair was a wig that was attached to the cap.

how did linklater get away with it?

I can't tell if you're memeing or if the movie is actually really deep.

Nigga we did this shit at my high school like 4 years ago. We played Turn Down for What and threw paint, glue, glitter, and silly string all over the freshman. When we were freshman they threw paint and batteries.

Weird. My high school everyone just minded their own business, grew up in North Texas. Then again we didn't have freshmen, it was 3 year high school. 9th graders went to "The Freshman Center"

The dude was on the verge of a schizophrenic breakdown.

>We played Turn Down for What and threw paint, glue, glitter, and silly string all over the freshman.

Pretty cringe tbqh

try to do this with Everybody Wants Some

It's actually incredibly deep. Go watch it again, everything I said is 100 percent there. There's probably more shit I didn't notice. Big Lebowski is also incredibly deep.

You must have went to some weird "alternative high school". Most normal high schools still have some sort of hazing ritual, at least in Southern Maryland.

I mean he was right about a lot of shit. There IS a ton of weird stuff on the dollar bill.

Nigga we were 17 and high out of our minds 90 percent of the time. It was fun as shit at the time, I would literally throw glitter right in their eyes and make them cry.

Haven't bothered seeing it yet, I think it's on Amazon prime though. If you want I could analyze Slacker or Boyhood but I'm too tired and have a 9 hour shift tomorrow.

>some weird "alternative high school".
I went to Allen High School which has won the Texas State Football Championship 3 years in a row and is considered one of the best football schools in the nation, and we kicked ass at all kinds of other sports too.

We also had the largest marching band in the USA, still do I believe

Nigga my high school won state football championships last year too. The only reason Texas schools do well at football is because they red shirt all the players and hold them back until they're 19-20 and playing against 16 year olds.

Yeah but Pink is shown to be a pretty good student and it was the 70s so he's pretty much guaranteed a great job out of school.

I'm just making it clear that I didn't go to some alternative school. My graduating class had over 2000 students alone

If you didn't have hazing you were probably in some liberal hellhole like Austin.

Hell no, fuck Austin. I grew up in the Dallas suburbs

"Starting in 1992, Dallas County began voting more Democratic than the state of Texas as a whole, with relatively narrow wins from 1992 to 2004 even as the Republican nominee won Texas easily. This trend culminated in 2008 when Barack Obama won Dallas County with a substantial margin. Obama's coattails allowed Democrats to win the remaining Republican held judicial seats. In 2012, Obama won Dallas County by virtually the same margin as he had done in 2008. In 2016, Hillary Clinton increased the Democratic margin of victory even further. She became the first Democrat to win 60% of Dallas County since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944"

I.E. a liberal shithole lol.

that's Dallas County retard, I'm from Collin County which votes red. I said a suburb of Dallas not the city proper, the Dallas Metroplex is a lot bigger than one fucking county

who was in the wrong here?
i felt so hard for him in this scene. i have so many memories of getting involved in fights unwillingly and getting my ass kicked. thank god high school is over

You sound bitter about not being invited to parties in high school.

Sounds gay as shit, dude

human's are just trash basically
eventually we'll go extinct and that's what we deserve

Which Congressional district? Because the one closest to Dallas has a Democrat Rep, which is definitely supporting my liberal shithole theory.

Texas's 3rd Congressional District
>It is one of the most Republican districts in both Texas and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The GOP has held the seat since a 1968 special election.
hmmm....

You sound white, if someone did that at my hs a bunch of bikers would come and smash the kids car or some black people would come and do the same

Clint initially for being a douchebag who overreacted to a blithe observation, then Mike for not just letting it go and letting the whole thing ruin his night

And yet Trump won your district by the slimmest margin of victory in the past 20 years (probably much longer than that honestly, I just can't find the numbers). With the amount of Mexicans you're getting, you'll be blue in the next election or two lol. Fortunately I live in a state where God gives a damn.

I was forced to move to Florida anyway, live 5 minutes away from one of the greatest beaches on Earth. Could be worse

You say that because your school was too pussywhipped by liberal parents to let you do it lol.

...literally the entire senior class did it every year to the freshman and sophomores. Do you not get how hazing works lol? We used to fill water balloons with paint and aim for the eyes.

Is paddling really a thing they do in Texas?

it's been a long time
been a long time
been a long
lonely

fuck you

Except for all the water-Mexicans and the liberal Jews and the homosexuals and the serial killers.

Yea that cunt that makes them do that shit is 100% a dyke abusing young girls to jerk off later.

True

But he isn't going to stay a good student. And after a summer of living for the moment, ignoring the future, ignoring his community, ignoring everything that mattered to him up to that point, do you really think he's going to go? Or is he going to end up like Wooderson?

Oh fuck dude. I feel you. When I was watching it I was thinking about a cute girl I knew who was a freshman in high school at the time. I was homeschooled and I wondered if they made her do that.

Breddy gud analsis desu

>from monkey-like Jew nerd to Chad lite
How did he do it?

Dude it was the 70s. You literally needed a PLAN to fail. Even Wooderson is likely going to turn out fine, he's working for the state, he's going to get a big pension, tons of benefits. The job market was great back then because it hadn't been flooded with women and Mexicans. Today you need a plan to succeed.

What shitty hazing. The seniors just made me wear a banana costume all day and me and my friends taped 2x4s around the back of freshmens legs for a day so they couldn't bend their knees.

>football school

So it's full of dumb niggers, borderline retarded red necks with 3 inch thick skulls, and mudsharking trailer park whores with two kids by 19?

Movie takes place in '76. Jimmy Carter came in in '77. Was literally one of the worst economies the country's ever known.

Allen Texas is only 8% black and the median household income is 100K, almost double the state as a whole

Anyone else watch this movie yearly around April when the weather turns to get ready for summer?

This is destined to be copypasta if not one already. Either way it's the most based thing I've read in years

It's like that here too. It's amazing. I've fucked so many freshman chicks because of it.

what does she do? Ive never seen the movie but now im curious

Yea, but the only one who didn’t at least somewhat get that it was degrading was the girl leading it. And then everyone was rly nice to them and they got to party together =-)

Grew up in queens, can confirm that a paki or jamaican would kill any white boy doing that gay shit

Nigger tier behavior, to be frank

>One summer of hedonism bro! It'll ruin your life!

Jesus Christ, you sound like you have no self-control if you think a summer messing around in high school is going to derail your life.

>grow up in central Texas
>every guy watches this movie after junior year and then grows their hair out

Found that out about a year ago, ruined the movie for me.

Please don't use that name while you advocate hedonism. And yes, it does derail your life. How do you think you got here?

The entire movie is pretty depressing.

WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MAMAAAAAAAAAAA
