Who is slater from dazed and confused

As the film comes to an end, there is one scene that always makes me feel kind of sad. That scene takes place as the party at the moontower comes to a close. It is clear that the film is coming to an end because of the subtle shift in tone. As the scene goes on and we see many characters saying goodbye to one another, it begins to feel as if there is a kind of loss of innocence. After this night, they will all go back to their normal lives and they will inch closer and closer to their senior year, their last year of absolute freedom from the responsibility of adult life.

Without fail, everytime I watch Dazed and Confused the film evokes the feeling of a time when things were not so complicated. It points to a time that was all about the freedom to simply have a good time, and although we may not realize it, there is no experience in life quite like high school. The film ends with Mitch Kramer Wiley Wiggins , one of the freshmen characters, putting on his headphones and a huge smile.

Then we cut to Pink and his friends on the open road on their way to get Aerosmith tickets. To me, it is the perfect ending to a fantastic film about the reality of high school and all of the freedom it allows. Until now I have not been drawn to watch this movie. I will reconsider now!
