Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)


A comedy by Tom Stoppard, starring Gary Oldman, Tim Roth and Richard Dreyfuss.
A pair of minor characters in Hamlet are summoned to the castle. On their way, they meet a group of actors going to the same place. They hang around Hamlet's castle until they are commanded to bring him to England.
This film was very strange. The 2 men with long names play word games and use plays on words most of the time that they are in the castle. One of them fools around with physics concepts like water displacement and paper airplanes. The leader of the actors tries to give them a clue about what's going on, but they misunderstand his cryptic words. I'm rating this good because I liked it for being weird.
