I honestly really enjoyed this movie. We were able to see different groups of high schoolers and how they act and how they are treated. I like how everything and everyone is connected some way or somehow which made the movie smooth to watch. The opening scenes reveal the inner conflicts common to teens: party or hang with friends? We get a view of  life portrait of high school’s last day, the school hallways, freshmen harassment, a haze of a lot of weed, parents and coaches trying to teach kids right from wrong, vandalism, and hookups and lots of drinking and weed smoking. Then we have scenes of kids just having an identity crisis. They are unaware of what they want to do after school is done or if they want to continue on the same path for their senior year or even how will freshmens’ fit in with the older kids and also sexual desire. One of my favorite scenes is when Mike said he didn’t want to go to law school anymore because he doesn’t like people and that he just wants to dance and I felt him on that then he decided it was a good idea to pick a fight with the guy he was picking on him. The freshman was having the time of his life hanging with the older guy and I really respect how Pink was looking out for Mitch and advising him throughout the night.  They portrayed the weed smoking kid as slow and talkative and if I didn’t know what weed does I would have believed that is what weed does to people.

The reading Cultivating Alamo Draft house talks about types of cinema scenes and the different hierarchy and caste system when it comes to how passionate people are about the movies and the set up of the place where the movie is being screened. In suburban areas they would screen films in areas and design it to match the movie scene and would have food, drinks and props for people. That seems like an interesting time for movie lovers and I wish they would do that now. I heard that they will bring back drive in theaters due to the Coronavirus but people need to stay indoors but people don’t listen and that would motivate people to leave their homes. In Pam Cook’s reading we are told about Feminism and how Women were not recognized the way that they should have been for the work that they’ve done but also some where not granted the opportunity to show what they can do. In the reading Dazed and Confused: Detroit rock City we read about the nostalgic aspects of the two films. Detroit Rock City is the next movie and I can’t wait to watch it. From the soundtrack to the different characters presented to remind us of these times in our lives. The soundtrack to Dazed and Confused was perfect and went well with the movie and I can’t wait to hear it from the next film. I commend the people that are in charge with the soundtrack and music placement.
