Today it is my first time to watch the complete English version of film Hamlet
(1946 by laurence oliver), which is a little bit hard for me to fully
understand the lines even with caption, since they just use Shakesphere's
English.
In one place, that is the famous line "to be or not to be" by Hamlet, what
does it eaxctly mean in the context? Does this phrase has some new meaning or
extension nowadays?
Thanks.

It's just a general expression of indecision, I suppose.
