So are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern really dead....
Just wondering...

BTW, it's a pretty good movie and a great play if you get a chance to watch...

Tom Stoppard really has a great imagination and a wonderful way with words...

2. Did you ever read/see Arcadia?
I thought that one was even better -- what a great play! Check it out if you aren't familiar with it.

:hi:

3. I saw that movie in my senior english class in high school
It inspired my friends and me to play questions every day at lunch for the rest of the year. Yeah we were nerds! :P

I agree Tom Stoppard really has a way with words

6. I loved it and thought it was amazing but I had one question...
WTF is it about???

Seriously - the end meaning...the total sum of the play/movie...what was it trying to say?

Fuck it...perhaps its just best to enjoy the ride!

12. I think it is that no matter what you do...
You end up dead in the end...

Cause in Hamlet, the two die..

And they are also Jews who the Bard used as a cheap attention getting device...

8. I escorted both of them off stage in a production of "Hamlet" once
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 11:02 PM by Generic Brad
And although I was carrying a spear, I did not stab either of them when we left the stage. So if they are dead, I had nothing to do with it.

18. Yep. If they're really dead in "Hamlet", they're really dead in "R&G Are Dead".
Besides, it's in the title.

Like "Waiting For Godot". They spend the whole play, well, you know...
