This movie looks at this tragedy from their behavior. On the way back to Elsinore, Denmark, a lot of strange things happened between the two of them. For example, the coins thrown by Rosencrantz were always face up. For example, they met a strange theater troupe. They came to the palace and met the king and queen. The queen asked them to approach Prince Hamlet to understand the reason for his unhappiness. So they recommended the troupe to the prince. So the prince used the theater to stage a story about killing his brother, usurping the throne and marrying his sister-in-law, which made the king extremely unhappy. The king then ordered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to secretly take the prince to England to be executed. Unexpectedly, Hamlet accidentally discovered the letter between the two and learned that he was about to be murdered... This
