\"\"\/Watched “Dazed and Confused<\/a>” on DVD. I am a bit confused to the point of the film. It just shows a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of students on their last day of high school or something like that. They are just driving around, talking non-sense, smoke pot, drink beer and kiss. The movie starts nowhere and it ends nowhere. Maybe it was done as a historical reference for generations to come, but I doubt the accuracy of it (everyone were driving cars that I am far from affording having a full-time job in a good company).<\/p>\n

The film started to get boring after about the second minute. And it never got any better. So, I had to find something to entertain myself. Luckily the film provided something. There were plenty of people and all of them looked unrecognizably young, so I went for a quest of recognizing them. First came Milla Jovovich<\/a> and Matthew McConaughey<\/a>. Than Ben Affleck<\/a>. Than Adam Goldberg<\/a> and Anthony Rapp<\/a>. There a few others that I recognized the faces, but couldn’t remember where they played.<\/p>\n

Soundtrack, with all the classic rock stars, such as Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath, also helped the time to pass by.<\/p>\n

Other than that, the movie provides for a little entertainment and carries no point what-so-ever. 4 out of 10.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
