Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

[effeweewetoob]

0:21 In response to Oldman's "Didn't harm anyone, did we?" when Roth replies "I can't remember." it's my favorite line of the movie. It's just so brilliantly delivered, and sums up the whole film.

I remember them being killed on the ship. Is that not right?

[CrazyPirateMouse]

@iloveravenrock That was Hamlet's cover story for coming back to Denmark.

[CrazyBee103]

OK, you pulled the first part of that from the back of the book for this show.

hey this not happen in the play...

[DragonStella]

way to go

[JohntheGuerrilla]

This was a Movie parody on the Play, based around the statement "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead." It covers those 2 characters POV in England after they are sent there...

Stoppard was the director, so I think he has more right than anyone to make some change to the original play, lol

[calybdis]

I mean the play HE wrote, lol

[Catherine3234]

It's just showing that they are not truly free; they cannot deviate from the life set out for them in Shakespeare's script.

看TIM闭紧眼后，GARY也是.They are so adorable!!!

[mikaylafemme]

i like how gary played his role here..hehe

[PolinaRUSA]

haha that's cool.. we're doing this play at my college and i'm one of the tragedians.

[crazyhearts0000]

We are doing this play at my school, I'm Guildenstern.

[aceinco]

I always thought it was just a way for tom stoppard to tie his characters back into Hamlet... as a side note... the music is from a Pink Floyd song called "Seamus" off the album "Meddle"... other sound bytes off that album were used in other places in the movie

I really want to understand the ending - because I did read the play time and time again - but I can't make the connection between the words of the Player about acting death and what happens to them.

Does anyone know the overall theme of the play?

[n3mosum]

well my english teacher says its based heavily upon existentialism.

in the play i don't recall them saying those lines with a noose, but rather on a dark stage, and stepping off. dunno if im right, but i saw it as rosencrantz and guildenstern having a very quiet, unnoticed death, matching their previous claims that death requires 'absence' and leaving the 'stage' of life.

[n3mosum]

the players use a very...exaggerated and dramatic death. they seem to argue somewhat the real death (like when they hung one of the actors as part of the play) is boring.

If sad and if drole at the same time ! My Rosencrantz I did not want that you dies
