Idk what my point is with this post but i love the movie so much i needed an outlet. About 2 months ago a film buff friend of mine and I were having a conversation about Matthew Mcconaughey. He suggested me to watch Dazed and confused. I downloaded it onto my phone and it was just sitting there for a few weeks. One day I was just hanging out with my friend and smoking some pot. When i got back home, I was really really baked and needed something to do. I didn't wanna play video games and I didn't wanna scroll through my socials. As I was searching for something to do, I found this movie sitting in my folders. With nothing else to do, I curled up in my blanket and started the movie. For the next 1 hour and 30/40 mins I was just mesmerized by the movie. I related to so much of it and it didn't make sense. For starters I don't even live in the US, I live in India. I wasn't born in the 70s, I'm a 2000 born kid. Everything is all so different and yet i found all characters to be so relatable to people in my own life it was just astounding. Also the music. Oh my god. I was never someone who enjoyed rock music ever (except for my childhood ones like the major hits of Linkin Park or Green day). The music is so fucking GOOD. Ever since that day I have been obsessed with Dazed and Confused (and also 70s rock). At first I thought maybe it was the weed that made me like it so much. But no. I have watched it atleast 8 times since then. Both sober and high and it never fails to make me laugh or vibe. The movie was just so beyond what i expected, I mean life in India is so so different. And yet it felt like everything was the same. Dazed and Confused has become my favourite movie. I'll be watching it for the 10th time today (Stoned xD) and I sure as hell will enjoy it as much as i did the first time. I love you Richard Linklater. Thanks for reading.
