are highschool movies an accurate depiction of what its like to be a teenager
Only negligent or very open minded parents would let Milla jovovich stay at a boy's house unsupervised. No one that hot is left alone till they are 18.
Lowlifes flipping out and challenging you to a fight for perceived slight is very real and even goes into adulthood around dirtbags.
Way older, cool guy that still hangs around a younger crowd to appear cool is a staple. They can be cool or jerks.
>>223202526For genx and boomers yes, except in dazed and confused it was that brief time in 1976 where the drinking age was 18
Reckless and dangerous activities are too common place if there isnt someone that thinks things through.
Detention (2011) is the best high school movie of the past two decades
>>223202587Cool kids and cute girls got invited to drinks and party favors for no reason.
>>223202526highschool in real life is mundane, nobody had fun
>>223202631Wrong! I had a blast with final fantasy 9 and snake eater.
>>223202604It was a party in the woods, not someones house. If you were cool enough to know about it you were softly invited because someone told you. If theyre charging for a keg nobody will care if you buy in and sit on the sidelines the whole time, but someone may try to fight you.
>>223202526Remember The Daze was pretty good.Jennifer's Body as well.Napoleon Dynamite.obviously some of the quippy dialogue and supernatural/outlandish stuff aside. the general vibe and atmosphere of these pretty well captured american high schools in the 00s
>>223202670In real life their were no kegs but the cheapest beer and random liquor they would get. They absolutely made a big deal if you were new and tried reaching for it without explicit consent. There were no ragers in a public space but plenty of house parties , no crashing allowed! It was vorbotten unless you were cool/ hot or connected to someone cool/ hot.
No way every guy wouldnt be flirting or hitting on Milla. Worse is guy's woth no chance just awkwardly trying to start a conversation and it being obvious to everyone. The separate and conquer is a technique you have to keep your eye out for. Just like in the girl next door. Dont let your girl out of your sight.
Some idiot letting the cat out of bag and getting an adult to cancel the party was possible. Cops called for too much noise or mischief spilling into the streets would occur. Take note of who is a loud doofus and a jerk.
Hot/ cool teens never paid for anything.
>>223202772Cellphones werent mainstream in the 90s and even the rich kids i partied with didnt have them, so there wasnt a bunch of randos showing up last minute because someone dialed up all their friends. Midlennials and zoomers have no idea what it was like to no constantly have your friends, parents, or even emergency services in your pocket.
>>223202541GET A LOAD OF THIS FATHER OF TWO OVER HERE
>>223203156thats why people hanged out more before
>>223202526I had no idea Milla was in this
>>223203156That is why they were planned in advanced. Someone would hear or know about where someone lived and crash.
>>223203190Nope, just remember that hot girls were watched like a gulag prisoners. Every phone call and every interaction was monitored.
>>223203244She is the eye candy of the movie.
>>223203244She is mostly in the background and as a setpiece to give value to the character as a guy that is cool and can get girls.
>>223203244she was almost entirely cut out of the movie because linklater hated the guy who played her boyfriend and most of her scenes were with him. they were supposed to be major characters but i guess he really couldn't stand that guy because their material isn't even in the dvd extras.
>>223202526most highschool movies are embarrassing loser fantasies, eg all the john hughes crap, but dazed and confused is one of the rare exceptions and fairly accurate. that being said the culture it depicts has since been eradicated by social feminization and surveillance. the average modern teen is a neurotic shut-in by 70s standards.
>>223203156>Midlennials and zoomers have no idea what it was like to no constantly have your friends, parents, or even emergency services in your pocket.cellphones were just getting widespread among high schoolers in 07-08. maybe the oldest zoomers don't remember what life was like before cellphones
>>223203642>the average modern teen is a neurotic shut-in by 70s standards.by objective standards. kids don't go outside anymore, they're all on phones and tablets 14+ hours a day.
>>223202551This was the most realistic scene in the movie.The paddling of the freshmen by seniors was way overboard and would have been considered extremely gay at the time.
>>223203302Every hot schoolgirl age girl was constantly stalked by every guy in town including teachers and family members.
>>223203729It's even worse today with the Indians, Mexicans and blacks that drool and make a asses of themselves over every white girl.
>>223203729but nobody had told them it was abuse yet, so they liked it
>>223202541>very open minded parentsthe movie is set in the 70s and many parents would have been hippies. multiple underage girls in the manson family were there with parental consent. the one that sydney sweeney played in the tarantino movie was 15 and carried around a note from her parents saying they consent to her living with manson, in case the police ever asked. hippies did not give a shit about their kids.
>>223202526>>223202526no. the girls are having even more sex and the dudes are having no sex while their crush is picked up by a 30 year old dude/thread
>>223203982It was suburban texas and those teens would have been born in the late 50s/early 60s. Meaning the parents would have been born in the 1930s.
>>223203512He hated him because of well they got with Milla is my guess.
>>223202526No.
>>223203729Where do you live,.psychoville?
Kind of but this movie and that almost famous movie suck. They are obviously autobiographical experiences because they are stories that go nowhere and nothing happens.
>>223204065and? hippie counterculture was a nationwide phenomenon, and her parents would have been in their 20s/30s during the sixties, young enough to be affected by the culture, which by the way also incorporated people from older generations, beatniks etc. i remind you, the people that let their daughters have drug orgies with charlie manson were old enough to have teenagers in 1969. in 1977, a year after the movie is set, roman polanski was allowed to take nude photos of a 13yo in a one-on-one session arranged by her mother, which ended in a rape accusation. this was their second session together after the first one happened in public, with random passersby hooting at the 13yo as she took her top off for polanski on a hill by her house. the culture around kids was totally different back then. within hippie morality, this sort of thing was actively encouraged. it was "liberated," it showed a lack of "hang-ups." you were expected to be happy that your daughter is sexually active.
>>223204121>Where do you live,.psychoville?No, heterotown.
>>223204390Its why the scene in the good guys with Russell Crowe and beating the guy for grooming a girl is not in line with the mores of thr time. Even in the 90s, dirt bags would be waiting for cute girls in their cars outside of school and no one did anything.
>>223204092yeah, it feels that way, because if he just thought the footage wasn't good enough for the film, why not release it as deleted scenes? but there's a bunch of deleted scenes available for the movie and still nothing with milla and the guy. feels personal.
>>223204403Teachers are stalking girls? People are okay with that?
>>223202526This movie is an accurate depiction of shit.
>>223204428movies from this era also feature a trope of the male protag rejecting the advances of a jailbait seductress to show that he's outstandingly principled and disciplined, because the expectation is that a normal guy would never refuse a sexy teen. it happens with gene hackman in night moves for example, or paul newman in the drowning pool. that's what tarantino is referencing when cliff booth refuses a blowie from the manson girl. the russel crowe thing in the nice guys also works on that level, he's more principled than the times he lives in.
>>223204390Hippies werent that big of a phenomenon especially in suburban fucking texas.
>>223204663they were a culture-defining youth movement all over the country, dummy, including very much texas. austin in particular was famously hippie central. calling it "not a big phenomenon" is just plain retarded, half of american culture today is either derived from or a response to the hippie era. yeah random people in suburban texas would absolutely hold hippie beliefs. the movie even shows a teacher ranting about being a protester back in the 60s.
>>223204452Looked it up and he fought with everyone except Milla. He later married her at 16. Mathew Mc took over his screen time and Milla ended up being cut from the film. She focused on music till the 5th element.
>>223202526Evil Jewish propaganda filthAnd it doesn't even have any nudity
>>223204966Cry to the UN Ahmed
>>223202526Best high school movie bar none.
>the dukes of confuzard
>were
>>223202526>are highschool movies an accurate depiction of what its like to be a teenageryes, but not for me
>>223202526my highschool experience was a combination of dazed and confused, superbad, and over the edge, and last american virgin
>>223204390They weren't hippies, parents just let their children go hang out with friends back then without needing to constantly monitor them. This was true even in the early 2000s, before you were born.
>>223203652>cellphones were just getting widespread among high schoolers in 07-08Lots of kids in my school started getting these brick nokia phones in the year 2000. By the time I was in college a few years later literally everyone had a cell phone. This is in the US of course.
