Personages of Historical Significance React

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and 1776

Hi anybody reading this! I wrote this to enter a contest by MissMaccaSunshine . You were supposed to write a one shot modeled after her book Beatles REACT. I chose ten of my favorite historical figures to be with us today: Joan of Arc, Oscar Wilde, Princess Diana, Frank Sinatra, Abraham Lincoln, Billy the Kid, Orville Wright, John Lennon, Benjamin Franklin, and Buster Keaton. Here goes nothing!

Hi guys! Thank you so much for being here today!
Wilde: "Hello!"
Wright: "No problem."
Diana: "Happy to come! Nothing better to do in the afterlife."

Today, I am going to show you videos from two different films.
Franklin: "A film? What's a film?"
Keaton: "Really? Are they my films?
Sinatra: "I hope they're good ones."

First Video: "The Egg" from the musical 1776.
Billy: "Wtf?"
Lincoln: "Is this supposed to be about when the Declaration of Independence was written?"
Franklin: "Oh... I remember when this happened... Although there was much less singing..
Keaton: "Wow! It's in color!"
Sinatra: "Pretty good music, but I could do better."
Joan: "I'm afraid this is way after my time."
Diana: "This came out when I was young. I remember around that time, people were celebrating because of the bicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in America."
Wilde: "What an interesting idea for a stage musical. I should have thought of something like that!"
Lennon: "..."
Wright: "I HATED learning about these men in school!"

Second Video: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure film trailer
Abraham: "Oh yes, I remember when this happened."
Joan:  "Ohhhhhh I remember this! I had so much fun!"
Billy: "Ha! Good ole Bill and Ted. I remember them. We were pals."
Lennon: "I am still really bloody confused."
Diana: "This movie was popular, but I've heard it was really stupid."
Wilde: "What the-?"
Sinatra: "Now, this film looks pointless."
Wright: "This looks like something I would watch."
Franklin: "What is that clothing they are wearing?"
Keaton: "More color! Beautiful color!"

Do any of you know what you just watched?
All: "Nope."

The first one was a clip from the musical 1776, and the second one was the trailer for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Would you guys watch these films?
Joan: "I don't know what the first one was, but I like the first one!"
Wilde: "I like theater and musicals, so I like the first one. But I'm still confused about the last one there."
Diana: "I guess I don't know what to think."
Sinatra: "I don't think I would watch either of those."
Lincoln: "I liked them. Where can I watch them?"
Billy: "I wouldn't watch the first one, but the second one, heck yeah!"
Wright: "I prefer war films."
Lennon: "No, I don't think I would watch those. Well, maybe the second one, but I'm not really sure."
Franklin: "Yes, I do believe I would watch them."
Keaton: "Of course I would watch them! They're in COLOR!"

Franklin, how did watching the video from 1776 make you feel?
Franklin: "Well, I was stricken with emotion. It brought back memories of the "good old days" when we were working on the Declaration. I was touched."

You three who were in Bill & Ted, what was it like for you and what is one of your favorite memories from the experience?
Billy: "I thought I was going crazy almost the whole time, and I didn't really know what was going on, but I became pals with Bill and Ted. One of my favorite things about it was meeting Socrates. We were buddies. Sure wish I could see him again."
Joan: "Because I spoke only French at the time, I was completely clueless. I thought Bill and Ted were angels sent by God to relieve me of the war for awhile. I guess I loved the whole thing, anything to get away from the war."
Abraham: "I went with it. I guess I thought I was dreaming. I was trying to figure out what the whole thing meant for a long time afterwards. I eventually guessed it was just a break from the stress of being the president. I liked meeting other historical people, especially Sigmund Freud. We became well acquainted during the short time we had together."

As for the rest of you, do you think filmmakers should make more movies about historical figures such as yourselves in a more lighthearted way?
Wilde: "Yes. I love a good comedy."
Diana: "Yes, just as long as it was not in a disrespectful way."
Sinatra: "I just wish more kids these days knew about me and my music. Anything for that."
Wright: "I guess I don't really care one way or the other. I'm not too worried about being forgotten."
Lennon: "Of course! I don't see why everything has to be so serious."
Keaton: "Yes, any sort of film about me. Most adults don't even know who I am anymore. Also, color film is a plus."

That's all, folks. Thanks for reading!
