What the FUCK was his problem?
What the FUCK was his problem?
He truly was Dazed and Confused.
His father was abusive.
He was gay in a homophobic society
He’s was frustrated there were no good wills to hunt.
he took out his anger on failing senior year on the incoming freshmen boys
This movie made me feel really sad. It felt like I'm watching innocence be destroyed, and I felt helpless.
was anyone this chubby in the seventies?
25-30 year old guys playing high school students.
I've watched it probably 20 times since it came out. I've felt that everytime but it's offset by the laughs and free flow feel of the movie. Linklater was actually in high school in the mid-70s and 1993 wasn't too far from 1976 so alot of clothes, cars, buildings were still in the Austin, Texas area. This all added to the authenticity. My parents were in high school in the 70s and have both said it's very accurate minus the hazing scenes. That must've been a Texas thing.
He clearly had sadomasochistic tendencies.
The hazing stuff really bothered me. I was homeschooled, but I knew a girl who had been homeschooled and started going to public school in 9th grade, and I was worried they made her do this and it made me feel very sad. I'm pretty sure nothing like that happened, but the movie still gives me that kind of feeling. For me, it's too much.
Yeah well the best correlation I can think of would be this is something that kinda happens in college when you join a fraternity. There must've been some validity to it otherwise Linklater wouldn't have added it to the movie. Bullying has always been a thing but maybe not not as organized as it is in Dazed & Confused. I can't see adults walking by some 14 year old getting his ass beat purple by a football player and not jumping in to stop it.
In high school people praised this movie. So I watched it and realized it’s about a dudes obsessed with spanking younger boys....what the fuck.
It's about the crisis of masculinity young men have in every decade. There was an expectation for Jason London's character to return as the quarterback for the football team his senior year because everyone in that town placed a premium on it except for him. The movie about how lost and without direction some adolescents were in this Texas community circa 1976. These kids were late-term baby boomers (1958-1962), so they were too young for Vietnam and the protest movements. Their older siblings passed down their gas guzzling muscle cars and there wasn't shit to do but cruise around, go to the burger joint, movies or pool hall/arcade. Fear of aging. Fear of not fitting in. Realizing that none of that matters because every generation deals with it.
Yeah but mostly it’s about older guys spanking boys though.
AFFLECK IS FAT AS SHIT NOW AND ALSO A DRUNK
You've just described the process of getting older, user. It's beauty is in the way that it destroys the beauty that already existed before it. Such is life.
behold, my final form
Whites are gay and pricks.
Enough with the feelings sensitive sally. I bet you even empathize with people in pain too don’t you faggot.
That was a small plot point. It’s weird you focus on it that much.
oh shit that is terrible
Wow that’s awful. Wtf was he thinking?
>boomer
Did they call themselves that?
Not the way you use it. Could be a nickname, for him or the paddle...
Of course they were generation x or baby boomers depending on who you ask, but no they didn’t identify as that like on here.

Once I did a challenge where you smoke everytime they smoke in the movie for both this and Everbody wants some, which is a pseudo sequel and we went through like 13 joints between the 3 of us I was feeling it for days it was fucked
Matt Damon took his girl.
The hazing scenes resemble more of what would happen in fraternities/sororities in college (especially before they all started cracking down on hazing). Probably no high school ever did this, it may just be a plot device by linklater, the catalyst for bonding between the seniors and freshman that happens in the movie
Ped. think about it
what?
At my high school, we had Freshman Friday once a year, where seniors would pick up random freshmen and put them in garbage cans. Usually, only a few seniors participated in it while most didn't care, and the faculty obviously didn't approve of it. That was the closest thing to hazing I witnessed in high school. This was in the late 2000's in the deep south, for reference.
Last year a high school football team in my city caught a lot of attention for hazing. They fingered each other’s assholes in a hazing ritual called “juicing” lol it waslike a bad episode of SVU
>A victim's mother described the alleged assault in graphic detail, saying it involved 'juicing' — a slang term used by some Dimond High students to describe what happened. Juicing refers to the act of someone using their fingers to penetrate another person. The mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, said the freshmen students were taken one-by-one into another room throughout the night while the others lay awake terrified.
Why is always the gayest shit possible
>ywn live in the 70s
God damn. Idk what the other teams had but on my water polo team the varsity just shaved the frosh squad except for the speedo zone
Nice homemade baseball bat
Because?
He isn't cool and he knew it. The curse of many jocks, but not our boy Pink.
I used to do that with How High. It was a fun time errtime.
Don be scurrred

It makes me kinda sad that I missed out on the typical high school experience because I just played Counterstrike and Halo through all of it, I didn't socialize until senior year and became depressed when I realized I missed out on 3/4 of the experience
It really seems like a bunch of pressure and a huge waste of time to "win" at school. Every failed normie inherently knows this.
