      Anonymous: Immortality - The Soul of the Age

      The feather pen draws smooth handwriting on the page, and the ink drenches the legend of an era.

      Word by word, joy, anger, sadness, joy, generosity, wit, treacherous, hesitant... He lives and dies with words.

      People who always feel that they love drama so much that a child is living in their hearts and they live in a world built by themselves. This small world is like a magic lake, reflecting the incomparable real weirdness in every era. The sentence "You are the soul of the...

      Dynasties change, paper lives for a thousand years

      Dynasties change, and the paper lasts for a thousand years.

      Queen Elizabeth had an illegitimate child at the age of 16, and the illegitimate child was later raised by William, Earl of Oxford at the time, and inherited the title of Earl of Oxford. When he grew up, his illegitimate son inherited the title of Earl of Oxford, and had an incest with Elizabeth, who had become Queen at the time, and gave birth to his illegitimate son, the Earl of Southampton. The illegitimate Earl of Oxford...

      Shake Spear In my Name

      there's a time when poem's profane and theater's blasphemed, entitled only to an anomynous whom, unspeakable in court of kings and queens of vile conspiracies unknown. it is there, with words noble as earls, against swords brutally hurls, william proceed, shake spear:

      who cares under what name i forebear or from which tongue i claim to my lovers and heirs. names are bare titles of vain, as decors and dehors to ladies, assume forms of every little man, an puppet, a mob, The actor, who...

      Reverse the sequence of your sister!

      For me and other English sufferers, although there are English subtitles, it is still laborious. The names that keep appearing, essex, robert, cesil, edward...I didn't know what Johnson did until the end...no background knowledge of British history I can't see it.
      Besides, if the director's duty is to tell the story linearly, it may be understandable, but the director thought he was shooting memory fragments, so he just dismantled the whole story and kept jumping back and forth: first of...

      Fang Zhouzi participated in the screenwriting

      The whole first half is "faux Shakespeare" because it's impossible to write something without formal training. In the second half of the episode, the audience felt that it was not exciting enough, and the audience also slowed down, so they threw another incest bomb. Seeing that there was not enough time, it was difficult to tell what happened on the Queen's side, so he pulled out Jonson, a tragic man who had played soy sauce for most of the episode, and ended in a hasty way of praising the...

      A wonderful tribute to the era of Shakespeare. The multi-layered narrative structure is superb, and the whole play is like a play written by Shakespeare: full of subversion, conspiracy, love, riots, when artistic genius encounters class shackles and political struggle and finally disappears into history, leaving behind immortal works and Wonderful times. PS: The award-winning costume and stage beauty plus a group of familiar British faces are also all kinds of shyness from people...

      I remember that the teacher talked about these arguments in class before, but I didn't take it to heart at that time. Now on the big screen, it is a bit moving to tell this story in a way of interweaving movies and theaters, and the time and space are constantly reversed. Art has always been related to ZZ, and the public can also be incited by a play. The point is, how deep is the buried anger and how good this scene can...

    About talent and jealousy

    Roland Emmerich admired the script of the film very much. He said: "Eight years ago, I realized that this is an absolutely unique script. At that time, it was also called "The Soul of the Times". I think this is a three-story story. A film of personal stories, Ben Jonson (the most important British playwright after William Shakespeare), William Shakespeare, and the Duke of Oxford. In fact, the Duke of Oxford ghosted all the works of...

    Digital reconstruction of the glory days

    As a costume film, how to restore the British architectural style at that time in the film is the most important issue. Although Roland Emmerich is a pioneer in the use of CG technology, he still uses traditional models in the shooting of costume films. In the Babelsberg studio, he and the special effects staff in the crew painstakingly built more than 70 exquisite models. This includes a magnificent Rose Theater in its original size....

    Following the historical details, the film turned them into a John Le Carré-esque spy novel, setting the audience's breath in the old London city landscape.
    -"The Hollywood Reporter"
    The movie itself may not be as interesting as Emmerich's determination to completely transform and break with the past, but it is also worth watching. Although this is a film written by a screenwriter first-John Orloff's script and the same lines are the...

    Movie quotes

    • Prologue: Though our story is at an end, our poet's is not; for his monument is everliving. Not of stone but of verse. And it shall be remembered. As long as words are made of breath. And breath of life.

    • Robert Cecil: Plays are the work of the devil - born from a cesspool of plague, whoredom, thievery, fornication, and heresy.

    • Anne De Vere: You, your friends, your blasphemous theater have brought nothing but ruin and dishonor to this family.

      Ben Jonson: Ruin? Dishonor? My lady, you, your family, even I, even Queen Elizabeth herself will be remembered solely because we had the honor to live whilst your husband put ink to paper.
