Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Interesting)

[@HiddelS143]

I like how a running joke is that neither of them know which of them is guildenstern or rosencrantz

[@antikoerper256]

The running joke is that it actually doesn't matter as both of them are the 2 sides of the same coin and cannot avoid their fate

[@TimeTravelinc]

The other running gag (that I like) is one of them (whoever Gary Oldman is), using physics in Shakespeare. Probably due to the fact that at the beginning, he flipped the coin heads four times. While that’s leads to nothing, it means something to us (the audience). Because what are the odds of getting heads four times in a coin toss? If your universe runs on Narritivium, like Discworld, then like the scientists there, the odds are millions to one. But magicians (continues the quote from Soul Music or whichever Death story has him fired from his job) point out that millions to one odds, crop up 9 times out of 10. Oddly enough, it was those same odds that happened in the late 1800s when a scientist was looking up at Mars, and indicated those same odds to the Journalist when indicating the odds of life being on Mars.

1:27 "Are you stupid?" he's so chill saying that, always gets me HAHAHAHA. My favorite gif to use basically for everything.

"*catching on to what he's doing* Not now." "Statement." *"NOT NOW!"* XD

[@tristanemery8748]

Heheheh, I got that reference

[@DJCoolK1d]

“Now why exactly are you behaving in this extraordinary manner?” “I can’t imagine.” 🤣🤣 3:51

[@MitchellFace]

It has that Waiting for Godot feel. It’s seemingly about nothing and everything at the same time.

[@lfml7820]

That’s absurdist theatre for you

[@MitchellFace]

@@lfml7820 fair enough. Lol

[@TimeTravelinc]

Camu (at least, I think that’s how you pronounce it) would’ve enjoyed this. Maybe look up Kyle Kalligren (Brows Held High), as he’s got something on this. Mentions Camu and Waiting for Godot if you’re interested.

[@timothycarroll3204]

Oh how I love this movie.

[@EyeGlassTrainofMind]

A favourite film of mine! This film makes me love questions and thinking and comedy. I can't wait to watch this once I finish university in a few days :D My own quarantine graduation celebration.

[@skyekh.9836]

A favourite of mine as well ! Congratulations !

[@annjohnson994]

I have this film and watch it every 3 or 4 months. I never get tired of watching this marvelous film!

[@sindydoll35]

Tim Roth in that cod piece...I'm sold.

[@9thDallasMowerExpo]

You have to laugh, because otherwise you'd burst into tears.

[@supwititproductionz3738]

towards the end of the film when Rosencrantz says he can't say anything original and looks despondent, it makes my eyes well up a bit, ngl

[@NickJohnCoop]

I love his dawning comprehension

[@yodizzll]

does anyone else get a real "whoes on first" vibe from this scene?

[@feiyuin4178]

watch closely

[@brandonk8948]

Interesting.

[@irisbettinamaier4754]

The incredible Gary Oldman

[@bruiserbuk]

I believe all the people who saw, and love, this movie are represented here. Sad!

[@augustlandmesser1520]

Wonderful film, great actors!

[@beaurzaiz]

Such an amazing movie!!!!!

[@therealszasza02]

Yes it is indeed!

[@Mickyeahh]

DELVE!!!

[@JonathanHarkerYT]

This is absolutely incredible because a while ago I have been knowing practically the entirety of the things I do wrong and well, I started to ask myself the theory of probability, what probability was there that absolutely everything I did went wrong not being a person who is sick, who has a problem, thinking moderately and acting rationally and when I see this, I understand that perhaps everything went wrong for the last six months but to another person in the same period of time, everything could have gone well and that would compensate, from the new theory of probability, what we are talking about in turn the possible existence of infinite macro theories that would include all the previous ones that is, we could always put a universe inside another so well, thanks to the person who posted this video and well, I arrived through a medium link that analyzed the probabilities that COVID was done in a laboratory using one of the two theories, one of the two frameworks so well, greetings to the teacher who did this and I would love to contact her/his.

[@Crichjo32]

This film has a waiting for godot feel.

[@mothmansboyfriend8021]

probably because they're both existential plays written around the same time period by authors with similar influences XD

[@jonahwhale9047]

@@mothmansboyfriend8021 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, 1874 or 1966, depending on which version you accept (two different play, two different authors); Waiting for Godot, 1948. Define "same time period". I am sure Stoppard knew Beckett, however. It was voted the "most significant English language play of the 20th century".

[@section7764]

Probably because there's lots of waiting.

[@meeramatta]

[@rukeyser]

I just shared this on FB & suggested everyone just skip the first 5 minutes.

[@KelsaRavenlock]

No one I have ever recommended this movie to has made it past the coin toss. I think this is a good clip to show people to sell them on the film.
