I love this movie. It's about two minor characters from Hamlet discovering and coping with the fact that their entire lives have been planned out from the beginning. They are both a bit dim-witted, but interesting. Rosencrantz (or Guildenstern) frequently makes wondrous scientific discoveries only to be shot down by Guildenstern (or Rosencrantz), whose goal throughout the story is to find out what is afflicting Hamlet and rectify it. Meanwhile, the tragedians, led by Richard Dreyfuss, foreshadow all the major events in the story, including the senseless deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Great movie.
