Dazed and Confused: Teenage Nostalgia. Instant and Cool 70's Memorabilia. A Celebration of the Hit Movie. [Paperback]

Richard Linklater (Compiler), Denise Montgomery (Compiler)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 15, 1993

America, 1976. It's the last day of school in a small Texas town; the eighth-graders are getting their first taste of adolescence-a glimpse at high school. Frisbees hang in the air above Led Zeppelin music; the boys in their iron-on transfer T-shirts pop beers, while the teenage Cher clones strap on their cork wedgies and flirt.

It's a moment frozen in time, a shift from one era to another. It is dazed and confused.

This review is from: Dazed and Confused: Teenage Nostalgia. Instant and Cool 70's Memorabilia. A Celebration of the Hit Movie. (Paperback)

If you loved the movie, you'll love this book. It has many extra bits of information about the movie and also about the 70's. Another book called "Even More Dazed and Confused" is set to be published in the year 2000. This book is definitely a must buy!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE FOR ANY "DAZED AND CONFUSED" FAN., June 4, 2000

This review is from: Dazed and Confused: Teenage Nostalgia. Instant and Cool 70's Memorabilia. A Celebration of the Hit Movie. (Paperback)

Let me just start by saying that I just bought this book no more than an hour ago. As soon as I got home I picked it up and didn't put it down forr the next hour. As a huge "Dazed and Confused" fan, I was extremely happy when I saw that there was a book to go along with the movie. But the book is not just about the movie. It starts out with a great introduction by the director and writer Richard Linklater. In this intro he explains the time period, the pros and cons of the 70's, and where the idea for the movie came from. Also in the book are synopsis's of all the basic charactar (the best is Clints, the guy who beats up the nerd). This book doesn't just follow along with the movie, it is an explanation of the 1970's, I enjoyed it considering I wasn't alive yet. So if you are a hardcore fan of "Dazed and Confused" or a collector of 70's memorobilia, than you need this book.
