Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) Stephen Herek, dir.: (My opinions and thoughts on the movie)

Funny and Lighthearted are the first words that come into mind when thinking about Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.   This film was a great way to introduce this class, as it is lighthearted and an easy movie to watch. I was entertained all throughout the film and laughed constantly at Bill and Ted’s way of speaking.  I especially laughed whenever they would say Socrates name as So-Crates. I liked the fact that the movie is something that can be simply just watch and have a good laugh throughout the film without having to worry if there is any hidden meaning behind any details in the film, but if I wanted to, I know that I could simply just go back and re-watch the film carefully and could potentially find some meaning behind the film.  Like professor Shelton mentioned in class that the film really does play to what we would expect to see from every historical figure that is introduced in this film.  This film brought back my inner child and made me use my imagination as to how would some of my favorite historical figures would react if they were to come to the future.  I think that the idea of this film was really unique because we will never know how people from the past will think about the world that we live in now but if we were given the opportunity to see what their reactions would be I am sure that we would all take that chance just to see what their opinions would be.  Overall Bill and Ted’s adventure would be an adventure that anyone would want to go on if given the chance and if such technology ever existed, the film did a good job at portraying what the audience would most likely imagine if such thing could be a reality and it was very enjoyable to be able to see what would happen if historical figures were to come back to our present.
