Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Personally I thought this film was a little confusing to follow, until someone mentioned what they thought about it. I think that this film...play was mainly based on what happens to minor characters once their scene was done. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were bounced around from scene to scene so much that I really didn't make all that much sense. I did like though that we got to view Hamlet through their eyes, we got to see the story through a sort of "behind the scenes" perspective. After doing a little more digging I found this statement "If life were a play, most of us would be minor characters in it. Sure, we might imagine it differently, but very few of us live our lives as Hamlets. In general, we more closely resemble the silly characters that only occasionally get caught up in the central action, characters like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. We call ourselves "masters of our domains," but when we think about how many things in our lives we actually have control over, it's not necessarily a long list". This actually helps put the play into perspective for me. We have little to no control over what happens in our lives. Whatever happens to us is fate.
