  • Gary Oldman - guh! what happened to you?

  • gary was so freaking adorable in this movie. it made me fall in love with him all over again. lol

  • I am sorry, I push the dislike, but I didnt mean it, I just tried to push "like" :/ anyway, this play is super and I love Gary and Tim both. Ok, Gary is more ;)

  • Good Lord but Gary Oldman was HOT

  • god...i wud love to see the weasley twins do this scene...it'll be sooo much fun!!!

  • I love this film so much :)

  • Lot of dialogue for 24 seconds lol nicely done, great timing on both parts.

  • woah this is crazy..

    im actually doing this exact scene in class!

    haha its so friggin funny

  • hahaha thats my favorite part!

    tim roth is the best!

    both gary and tim are s funny!

  • my school did this as a play. It was hilarious. The students pulled it off by them selves!!!

    and it wasn't for a grade or anything.

    It was so much fun. I was in Crew

  • *is warped by the fast pace of the scene* That was AWESOME! I HAVE to watch this!

    Is anyone willing to give me a quick lesson as to what the film's about?! ^^;

  • it's in a sense parodying the play "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. rosencrantz and guildenstern are actually minor characters in the real play, they're kind of like puppets/spies used to spy on hamlet by the king. this movie is centralizing around r&g during their time in denmark with hamlet's family.

  • Aaaaaah I see! Thank ye fer the information! *hugs*

  • @Kraken812 its basically a derivative of hamlet, meaning the author gave two of the minor characters their own story. he made it an existentistialist critique though, questioning whether we have any control over what happens to us, etc. etc.

  • I studied this for senior English, and a friend and I always put our hands up to read the parts of Ros & Guil, and we learnt this scene by heart, and would just rattle it off at lunch time =D So much fun! Sometimes I wish I was a guy, just so I could be in this play.

  • My friend and I used to do this scene all the time after reading the play and seeing this movie. :D Very fun.

    Love this scene.

  • On disc 2 of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, during Tim's interview mostly, Tim and Gary talk about how the two of them would rehearse and re-rehearse scenes all the time because they were so much fun to do. He said that even after the scenes were shot, they would keep rehearsing them anyway because they were such fun. I bet this was one of those scenes.

  • LOVE that part--one of the best interchanges between them in the movie! thanks for posting!

  • Haha, wow I want to see that now! Anyone seen it? Is it good?

  • Yeah, it's great! I've seen it several times. I realize this is an old comment, but if you still haven't seen it yet, I'd recommend it. It's written by the same man, Tom Stoppard, who wrote the theater version. It's a comedy, but not the traditional slap-stick comedy, it's more of wordplay and irony, so if you're into that sort of thing then I think you'll like it.

  • Yay! Yeah, I finally got to see it, and wow is it good! The lines are so clever, and you're right- it's really good as far as humor goes. Thanks so much!

  • Absurdism! and i love it

  • I so wanna see this film! Gary looks so cute with that long hair....what do you say, should I see it?

  • Tim is so adorable here.Best couple with Gary!

  • haha that was awesome!

  • I adore this film. It's wonderful... And when you think about 'Hamlet' you can totally see this fit in with that play. It's brilliant.

  • I would get so tongue-tied if I tried what they're doing...

    I think I might watch this tonight. I haven't watched it in about three/four months(shame on me!), and we're studying Hamlet in my Brit Lit class, so I'm in a Hamlet mood. ^_^

  • i love how they talk

  • is that Gary Oldman????

  • YES! AND HE'S SO DARN LOVELY!

  • This is called stichomythia and it's really hard! Great performance.

  • No it's not it's called 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'...

  • yes, but the back and forth acting they are doing is called stichomythia, and as I said, it's really hard

  • idiot

  • You know I've always wondered if there was a term for that! This whole play is ..like..the epitome of stichomythia, hahaha. Thanks for the insight :D

  • This play is awesome.

  • Brilliant!!

  • I read this play five minutes ago. And I must say, I may never read another!

  • Geez, are they quick...
