Trivia: Even though the characters themselves are constantly confused as to which of them is Rosencrantz and which is Guildenstern, there is a way for the audience to make sure: In the scenes where they take part in "Hamlet" and interact with others, Gary Oldman always delivers the lines of Rosencrantz, and Tim Roth always delivers Guildenstern's.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)
1 trivia entry
Directed by: Tom Stoppard
Starring: Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Richard Dreyfuss, Livio Badurina
Continuity mistake: When Guildenstern tells The Player what he thinks is wrong with Hamlet ("A man talking sense to himself..."), he is holding his hands together in the close-up but not in the wide shot. (01:03:40)
Guildenstern: I think I have it: A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself.
Rosencrantz: Or just as mad.
Guildenstern: Or just as mad.
Rosencrantz: And he does both.
Guildenstern: So there you are.
Rosencrantz: Stark, raving sane.
