It's driving us crazy! We just seen the film and were blown away by it. It is truely the best film i have ever seen. What i want to know is what does 'Quiteus' refer to. (I think it is spelt like that) There were many subtle references to it. My husband and my sister think it is the name of a drug that you could take to kill yourself (thus 'Quit' being in the name) A subtle message to tell people that life isn't worth living anymore. I disagree with this, however i do think that there is some significance to this name and would really like to know what other people think. P.s if you have not seen the film, go see it! It's amazing!

Well, that word "quietus" appears in Hamlet's famous soliloquy "To be or not to be..." when Hamlet is deciding whether to kill himself. It basically means death, or being released from life. Etymologically it is
related to the word "quiet"
