Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


ROS (humbly): It must be your dominant personality. (Almost in tears.) Oh, what's going to become of us!
(And GUIL comforts him, all harshness gone.)
GUIL: Don't cry... it's all right... there... there, I'll see we're all right.

  • Ho Yay:
    • There was a messenger. They were sent for. They woke up... together.
      • It's a cold, rainy, Northern Europe country ... during the Little Ice Age. There's a reason the "Xdogs night" term was coined.
    • "I don't feel like stretching my legs." "I could stretch them for you, if you like."
    • Guil giving Ros a cuddle to cheer him up.
    • The fact that their every conversation (that is not existential musings) makes them sound Like an Old Married Couple.
    • The film especially accentuates this trope, with Ros constantly tugging on Guil's arm, trying to get his attention, agreeing with everything he says, throwing his arms around him, etc.
    • Really, it's not surprising given the characters these two were based on.
