      The king and the ministers have a small life

      Rosencrantz (Gary Oldman played by Gary Oldman) and Guildenstern (played by Tim Roth) are two small characters in Shakespeare's famous play "Hamlet". This movie looks at this tragedy from their behavior. On the way back to Elsinore, Denmark, a lot of strange things happened between the two of them. For example, the coins thrown by Rosencrantz were always face up. For example, they met a strange theater troupe. They came to the palace and met the king and queen. The queen asked them to approach...

      Splicing point

      A good Hamlet is lined up from another point of view, which is not finished, nor is it new; it is more interesting to break it up from another point of view, break it up and put it together again. Where did it break? All the uncertain things—those ambiguous sentences, interchangeable names, scenes and characters both in and out of the play, spaces with irregular degrees of freedom—the edges of all those deterministic fragments.

      A series of questions is not only its own meaning, but...

      Laughed~

      Laughing~ The deep existential brand and the mocking humor are a perfect match~ Two insignificant little characters in Hamlet exist in them real and absurd, one representing philosophy and the other representing scientific thought, arguing but always Can't find the ultimate meaning of their existence, because, there's no such a thing as absolute rational existence at all, the only thing that matters is the reflection of the physical world on ones feelings moods and emotions, which is the...

      No brains and unhappy must die

      Doujin diss official masterpiece? ...Well, I didn't understand the lines of this movie, and I laughed when I heard the sentence "Ah, I'm killed". As far as my dying taste is, I read it once and remembered it again a year later. I think there are three reasons: one is that I didn't understand it the first time, and the other is that I can understand it the second time? Find a "time" to watch it again, you don't have to know what it is-because thirdly, I can see it so much and I still...

      Although I'm talking about death, it has nothing to do with death

      I think watching this movie requires some creative experience. Because the movie involves three issues:

      1. Does a character's existence mean only to provide a plot? The role is to the work as the person is to the world. Because literary works are simulations and reflections of the real world. What is the significance of death as a "negation" of a character?

      2. If a plot exists, does its meaning only lie in providing rhetoric? The plot is...

      It's quite boring, some of the ridges are still quite funny, or it's aimed at the two uncles, I guess it will last less than 10 minutes, and the jazz BGM is very good. I didn't expect GO to be able to play such a 2, and 2 and cute! Does TR know that he will play the pianist at sea in the future, but you are born beautiful and hard to give...

      The existence of the low dimension questioned the creator of the high dimension, and was finally fooled to death. The movie version is indeed different from the stage version. The latter presents the entire plot in a closed space (a small theater with dozens of people), which is more...

    Evaluation action

    "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" has a strong theatrical stage style, and has a novel sense of absurdity in its performance techniques. Director and screenwriter Tom Stoppard integrates his dramatic talents and linguistic talents into deconstruction in a philosophical context, and reconstructs a seemingly familiar but completely new "irrational world" in the form of rationality. The opening, climax, and ending were all used by him...

    Movie quotes

    • Guildenstern: It's aright. I'll see we're alright.

      Rosencrantz: But, we've got nothing to go on. We're out on our own.

      Guildenstern: We're on our way to England. We're taking Hamlet to the English king.

      Rosencrantz: What for?

      Guildenstern: 'What for?" Where've you been?

      Rosencrantz: When?

      Guildenstern: We've got a letter. You remember the letter?

      Rosencrantz: Do I?

      Guildenstern: Everything is explained in the letter.

      Rosencrantz: Is that it, then?

      Guildenstern: What?

      Rosencrantz: We take Hamlet to the English king. We hand over the letter. What then?

      Guildenstern: Well, that's it. We're finished.

      Rosencrantz: Who *is* the English king?

      Guildenstern: That depends on when we get there.

    • Rosencrantz: So, we've got a letter that explains *everything*?

      Guildenstern: You've got it.

      Rosencrantz: I thought *you* had it?

      Guildenstern: I *do* have it.

      Rosencrantz: You have it?

      Guildenstern: You've got it.

      Rosencrantz: I don't get it.

      Guildenstern: You haven't got it.

      Rosencrantz: I just said that!

      Guildenstern: I've got it.

      Rosencrantz: Oh, I've got it!

      Guildenstern: Shut up!

      Rosencrantz: Right.

    • Rosencrantz: What a shambles! We're just not getting anywhere! Not even England! And I *don't* believe in it, anyway!

      Guildenstern: In what?

      Rosencrantz: England.

      Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean?

      Rosencrantz: I mean, I don't believe it! And even if it *is* true, the King of England won't know *what* we're talking about! What are we going to say?

      Guildenstern: We say, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."

      Rosencrantz: [as King of England] "And who are you?"

      Guildenstern: We are Rosencrantz & Guildenstern.

      Rosencrantz: "Never heard of you!"

      Guildenstern: Well, we...

      Rosencrantz: "What's your game?"

      Guildenstern: We have our instruction...

      Rosencrantz: "First I've heard of it!"

      Guildenstern: Let me *finish*!

      [pauses]

      Guildenstern: We've come from Denmark.

      Rosencrantz: "What do you want?"

      Guildenstern: *Nothing!* We're delivering Hamlet.

      Rosencrantz: "Who's he?"

      Guildenstern: You've heard of him.

      Rosencrantz: "Oh, I've heard of *him*, alright, and I want nothing to do with him. You march in here without so much as a 'By your leave' and expect me to take in every lunatic you try to pass off with a lot of unsubstantiated..."

      Guildenstern: We've got a letter...

      Rosencrantz: "I see. *I see.* Well, this seems to support your story, such as it is. It is an exact command from the King of Denmark, for several different reasons, importing Denmark's health, and England's, too, that on the reading of this letter, without delay, I should have Hamlet's head cut off."
