Not as Altmanesque as I’d first considered… just a lot of easily distinguishable characters in an ensemble piece. Should be easy, but hardly anyone can pull it off.<\/p>\n

\"Dazed<\/p>\n

I was barely two when the seventies ended. Avoided this movie for so long because I thought it was meant only for stoners and\/or seventies kids wanting to relive their stoner and\/or seventies days. But not having lived through that era myself, I can still tell this is a damned brilliant movie. Captures the high-school experience yes, but captures so MANY experiences, and character types, and so well, it’s almost an unbelievably good movie, one for the ages. Better even than most Linklater movies. I think. Better watch it again before making any sweeping declarations (“best movie of the nineties, better than Dead Man<\/a><\/em>, etc”).<\/p>\n

\"Dazed<\/p>\n

No real point in outlining plot, since story wasn’t the point. No real point in outlining characters… just see it again sometime. Wiley Wiggins was great. Now I feel bad that I’m the last person to see this movie… somehow got it mixed up with Reality Bites<\/em> or something. Now I wonder if I’d like Fast Times at Ridgemont High<\/em>. Or Rock and Roll High School<\/em>.<\/p>\n
