Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!

It kind of loses the joke with the other half of the image cut off.

My friend, my reaction when I first read your article. "Actors are dead?" ->

After... ->

When I realized what was meant... ->



I still laugh at myself.

One of the recurring jokes in the movie is that it has multiple scenes where the hapless and sometimes dimwitted minor characters from Shakespeare''s "Hamlet" accidentally demonstrate - or ALMOST demonstrate - scientific principles earlier than they were formulated by brilliant scientists. This one has to do with "Newton's cradle" which later became a popular toy on the desks of bored businessman.

Thanks, interesting background knowledge.

I just watched this movie again about a month ago and have seen it half a dozen times before. I am not clever enough to know the scientific principles offhand, just enough to recognize that is what they were doing. I had to internet search something like "ball banging swinging desk toy" to get the name of the thing!
