film: rosencrantz and guilderstern are dead
i guess most people would be familiar with these characters, but i wonder how many are familiar with the film. tom stoppard - who wrote the original play of this name, then wrote and directed the film - takes these two minor characters from hamlet, and writes the story around them. all the major plot points of hamlet are covered, but the finer details are examined through the rather slow-witted eyes of r & g.
this is about the best scripted film that i've ever seen. unfortunately, due to its theatrical nature, it's not the most cinematic, however. it's pretty threadbare, in fact. but the dialogue is sharp as a knife, and you couldn't get two better actors - tim roth and gary oldman (with richard dreyfuss as the player) - to act it out. their rapport is amazing.
this is just full to the brim with little witty asides, awesome in-jokes (but they don't take too many brains to find, 'cause i got plenty...i assume there are even more for people more astute than me), and great back-and-forths. the performance in their little 'tennis' game of questions is really quite unbelievable.
this is an amazing film. think i'll have to go read hamlet again, too
