Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have an excellent message for the graduates of San Dimas High School
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, otherwise known as Ted Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston Esquire from the totally excellent Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, have a message for the 2020 graduating class of the real life San Dimas High School.
In a short video, Reeves and Winter wished the class exceptional good fortune and good luck as they step into this totally messed up world.
“We know it’s a tough time, having to do this virtually,” Winters said, and then Reeves follows it up with a very convincing, “UGH.”
“We want to wish you the best of luck moving forward,” Winters said.
“Congratulations to the class of 2020. Well done!” Reeves chimes in and then offers up some truly awesome finger guns.
For those who aren’t immersed in Bill and Ted backstory, San Dimas is the town where Bill and Ted live and the high school plays a key role in the first movie. What’s most charming about that first film is, actually, how much both Bill and Ted love San Dimas. So, it makes sense Winters and Reeves would offer up some good vibes to its current graduates.
It’s a short and awkward video, but that’s what it makes it weirdly charming? Who knows, maybe I just needed to see Keanu’s face at a moment when the very fabric of our democracy hangs by a thread.
Anyway, their main takeaway is, as always, to be excellent to each other and party on.
