Everybody throwing books and papers on the floor on the last day of school . That really happened except at our high school the paper was foot deep and firecrackers and M-80's were going off.
That ABSOLUTELY was the way the last day of school went in the 70's. Absolutely no control by the faculty when the final bell went off TOTAL BEDLAM. Books and papers dumped everywhere. Exactly what you see here. The guy that made this flick captured the 70's in Junior High and High School perfectly.
Hello I'm from Hungary and my biggest dream is to born in 1950 in America, I donk know why but my dream is to go to a high school in the 80s... I think everything was better at that time there was no smart phones which destroyed the society social skills...
0:43 always gives me goosebumps when I listen to this movie loud. The drums, the guitars, Alice Cooper, kids getting out of School in the 70's but filmed when I was a kid in the 90's. It's an amazing scene. "Ducks on the pond!"
@@needles1987 my biological father was probably around 19 he ran out. My mother was 17 and the guy who raised me, who I refer to as my dad, had turned 17 2 months before I was born.
This is so random and shows me I am old. But at 1:12 the way the railing was built is an old way they did not care if it was going to be on an incline, just put it in and and it works. Now the poles would be built vertical under the railing and not on an incline. This is random I know, but I never thought the flaws of the past would be nostalgic for me.
My high school history teacher used to run through all the bullshit for two weeks and then give us free lectures for a week on topics we chose. We were of course expected to self study a little bit and write short papers describing what we learned. Dude made a point of never taking personal, extra vacation, or even sick days his whole career just so he could bank those days and take every Friday off for the end of his career.
I just noticed my school plays this song as we’re all leaving every year and this year I won’t be doing that cause of corona, I’m gonna miss it . I pray next year I’ll be able to be those seniors and just enjoy summer
@Aurora Endevour I’m in gen z, I can’t even have an opinion nowadays. Still I gotta be grateful because if things keep going like this in 2040 we won’t be able to think for ourselves all together
that globe is seriously messed. Ive watched this so many times but I havent noticed it til now. Island near Australia and the world seems... flooded. lol crazyness
@@ityaboitheflash5079 New Zealand is NE of Australia, much smaller and actually split into two main islands but it is a country in Oceania so you get an A-.
I just wish we didint have phones and lived in a small town so we can do stuff and go out like all the time and not be stuck in the house u know what I mean
Did you watch it? We got 10 minutes of baseball and we didn't get a decent intro to any characters. The mindfuck that Dazed gives you is a really high bar, that's what I have to say..
Shayla Knight I kinda want a dazed and Confused for all decades. I know American Graffiti is the 50’s version and the Remember the Daze is 90’s. I think a 2000’s version could be pretty awesome.
CorrugatedLadder us having more perks doesn’t mean one gets taken away. ppl play online games and do the same thing that’s been shown in this movie. just more perks literally
I was a teenager in Austin in the mid-70s, and this is (pretty much) what it was like. No hazing for the girls. But paddling for the boys (who were connected enough to rate, which I was not) was the rule.
This movie and in particular this scene, set just over four decades ago and filmed just under a quarter century past, was SO prescient to where our society was heading, save for the freshman paddles.
When I came up in 1975 in a town near this they came after Sophmores instead of Seniors. We weren't paddled, but they usually did something like throw us in a river. The teachers knew they were after me and my friend so they let us run early. The hazing period was limited to several days, so we holed up in my house with guns until they gave up and went off to party.
You had to physically go and see people in person. That's pretty much it. WE'RE not done yet. It still happens in many countries but for USA you need to be by the sea or in bar/food work to get the same group spirit. Hospitality can be good. Work at a place that has a bar, karaoke, sports. You'll get a human connection. Drinking helps but watch it. Because of your shift schedule, you will likely have tues, wed off so meet up with similar people. Have a softball game or something. Depending where you were. You don't have to work directly with these people. Just local. Tampa was good. Something less obvious than Miami, Vegas where it probably gets a bit heavy on mobile phone users. Then overseas you've got Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. Places like that. Carribean islands. Plenty of people speak English. Lots of ex-pats. All living like it's 1976.
We'd see Mike and friends running away from something on the last day of school, we assume it's something from the Upside Down only to reveal that it's actually seniors. Then we see Max and Eleven get covered with gunk.
You won't see it due to the way Movieclips edits its videos, but those kids on the bikes who ran are seen after the burnouts caught and getting a beating. LOL
00:10 One of the students had a cigarette in her hands IN the classroom? Was that seriously ok? Or did she have it out and ready so she could light it as soon as she got outside? lol
Shayla Knight No. Her tone implies the undermining of America, not growth. Such a mindset, that which refuses to press forward and improve, which requires an understanding of the past, not one built upon presentism, is antithetical to the American mindset. Her views impart no forward thinking. Her views slow progress, not accelerate it.
@@mtb416 Teachers are like that today too. They like to preach about how horrible it is, yet they fill their fat faces with hypocrisy. Dont get me wrong, I think alot of teacher are underpaid and bitter, but still. Its hypocrisy at its finest. Nothing like a well to do white woman telling you how somone wants a profit, thats usually for THEIR benefit.
Might be a random fashion model from the 1970s or possibly a popular model from the 1960s/70s named Pat Cleveland. She kind of resembles Pat Cleveland. I thought it might be model Donyale Luna at first...I tried sorry
and by the way, if your not proud to a part of this century, then stop and look around you and realize how much more life you will experience now than you would've in the 1970's!! although it was badass.
80s kid, no joke, this is exactly what we did last day of school, every year. Even the bus drivers celebrated, because they knew resistance was futile. GenX looking at you now, shaking our heads, your compliance is sad.
