The Funniest High Brow Comedy of Today
This movie is pure laughs with an amazing cast and director. Stoppard is at his best making these low brow comedy character's of Shakespeare's Hamelt ironically the funniest of high brow comedy that can be seen today. Viewers don't have to be familiar... more
To those individuals who authored disparaging reviews...
Have you ever read Beckett? Have you ever experienced Theatre of the Absurd? Apparently not. If you can call this movie boring, you have clearly never read the play. Perhaps you suffer from severe A.D.D...
Watch it again, and should you not... more
One of the best
This is easily one of the best movies ever made. Stoppard's use of language is incredible, and if you don't find this movie incredibly funny, as some reviewers have said, then I think you should probably stick to Hollywood schlock. This film is hilarious... more
-- Waiting for Hamlet --
I'm sure I'll be regurgitating what many of the other reviews have said, but this film is so darn good... I can't help myself.
Take two minor characters from Hamlet, and give them the existential philosophical foundation of Beckett's "Waiting... more
Ohhh sooo boringggggg!
So...I looked on the cover and the cast sold me on this DVD.
Well, the cast may look good on paper, but the material is definitely not. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead undoubtedly worked on the stage with it's verbal athlectics and... more
Reunmisthinkismiciously good paratragedy.
Simply stated, this film is indescribable, but having seen it, you understand lack of irony in my proceding to description.
Less about Hamlet or the two minor (in the play, here major) title characters and much more of a philosophical analysis... more
Comedy out of Tragedy
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is a continuation of the Hamlet story from the perspective of the two goons that can't even keep their own names straight.
Make sure to keep an eye out for all the jokes and ironies. They really are... more
finally
i have the script for the play, the script for the film, a tattered copy of the film on vhs (originally a rental and it shows plus i haven't a vcr any more...), and have been waiting for years for a dvd. i first saw this film at the cinema when it was... more
Between four and five
Written and directed by Tom Stoppard, and just possibly a tad too much of both. Brilliant, of course, but long. If you don't know your Shakespeare, you'll be as much at a loss as R & G. If you know him and his Hamlet, you'll find a lot to intrigue you.... more
What!? STILL not on DVD?
This movie ROCKS!! I cannot belive it's not on DVD. My favorite way to recommend this movie is: First watch Mel Gibson's Hamlet to get the Hamlet story-line fresh in your mind, THEN watch Rosencrantz & Guildenstern. I've just about worn out my VHS copy... more
retreating with style from the chaos
Times being what they are, is there much to say about something which might not be saying anything? Or should one say nothing about something which might be speaking volumes? Where there is chaos is there meaning? Is chaos the meaning? All in all,... more
Post Modern Masterpiece
This is a brilliant inversion of Shakespeare's "Hamlet", centered on the the chartecters of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, that tells the story of the play from a very different perspective. Its recent appearance on cable TV is hopefully a signal that... more
It makes no difference who you are...
Query: what are the minor characters in Hamlet doing when they are not actively engaged in carrying the plot forward? Answer: floundering around, not entirely clear as to who they are, and absolutely clueless about what is going on. I remember being... more
They'll never release the Region 1 DVD!
Probably most pretentious and pompous film I ever saw - pseudo-comedy stuffed with pseudo-intellectual jokes. I hoped it was a good movie since it got such high rating and even won Best Picture at the 1991 Venice Film Festival. Perhaps somebody is amused... more
Great film that needs to be re-released!
I found this movie to be incredibly clever, and wonderfully witty. I strongly recommend not only watching this movie, but watch it twice, or more if you get the chance. Every additional viewing brings out additional dimensions in the story.
I came... more
