takes place at a later time in the 1930's. There is also agreement of the

Dazed And Confused
... right movie, that it all comes flashing back. is the right movie.
As for atmosphere, it is dead on. captures 1976 brilliantly, from the bell bottoms and feathered hair to the soundtrack of early hard rock classics to a pair of statues painted to look like members of KISS. The drug and alcohol use is matter-of-fact. The production design had to be perfect, and it is. Anyone who can't quite recall a time when sex was safe and far fewer kids "just said no" should take a look just for the sake of historical accuracy.
It is directed by Richard Linklater and stars a cast of complete unknowns. This 1993 sleeper leads ...

Dionysus The Peoples God
... he was considered to be a god of the people who was fimiliar with the lifestyle of man.
To begin to learn how Dionysus affected the Classical Greeks one must first know of his origin. Dionysus was the offspring between Zeus, King of the Gods, and Semele, a princess of Thebes. Hera was jealous of Semele and convinced her to make Zeus show Semele his true form, only knowing that this would kill her and her baby.

If this is the case, could they have done something to protect those in danger? Was a truck bomb allowed to roam our streets? And was this a “sting operation” that ended in tragedy?
