Oedipus became Shakespeare’s cuff lace

The director of the disaster film finally started on the British quintessence. Fortunately, the age is long, no one Shakespeare is enough to cause a disaster. I wonder if anyone will question the parent-child relationship between Hong Lou Meng and Cao Gong in the future. Is this land in the east tolerant of a cool breeze? The small wind blows, even the fallen leaves can't be rolled away, and the cracks in the soil can't even penetrate, the truly majestic things will stand forever. Now Han Han's incident is still going on. In the past, no one would have thought that such a mighty and absurd disaster would happen this year. Disaster to everyone who has left "words" behind because of this. Human history is so long and there are so many beautiful and magnificent texts for us to read. Why should we spend our eyesight, mind, and time on observing a meaningless pen war. Words should be as pure as other art. Regardless of one's position, one should not lose the fear of writing, let alone use it to realize one's own malice.
right.
How can you bear it?

Off topic.
Back to the movie.

In this film, the Earl of Oxford's true love for words is the most moving. He seemed to be struggling to write in the arms of literary muse. The play ended, he signed the money, he didn't care who Shakespeare was, and he didn't care who he was. The audience's reaction made his tears hot, and the temperature was enough to warm him. No need to find more from elsewhere.
Rhys Ifans was born with a pair of vicissitudes and gentle eyes, no matter how angry, the light in his eyes would not be sharp. His gestures are equally round. A person who has a humble heart for a certain existence in the world will make him brew a gentle and soft temperament. This temperament is attractive and in harmony with wisdom. He happened to be the most suitable look for the Earl of Oxford.

Let's talk about the queen. I have seen so many versions of Elizabeth I, and the love in my heart is still Cate Blanchett. The queen in this film is a little more flashy when she is young, and she has strong lust, but she becomes more fascinated when she is old. Is she a woman who jumps up in a surprise? The queen is a queen after all, and the word'female' accounts for half of it. How can she completely weaken the word'king' behind it.

In addition, these noble and brave men are actually her sons. This idea is too terrifying. The Earl of Oxford became the Oedipus king of mother and son incest, but he did not pierce his eyes after learning the truth, and did not go to hell. He was guilty all the way. Perhaps it is to enrich the role, from writing to incest, the screenwriter of this film made him sin to the end of a thousand catastrophes, and every sin is directed to Elizabeth I. But this queen was cut off after the truth, and she had no chance to understand herself with a chiffon white silk. She didn't feel fuller because of this at this point.
So I think it's a bit redundant. Why bother to touch the essence of ancient Greece, the source of drama. Creators must still have the courage to give up excess creativity, no matter how amazing it is when it flashes.

In general, the main line is not thick enough. Shakespeare's authenticity has finally become a gimmick. What religion, court, and love all grow like flowers on a fragile stem. The stem was fragile as if it were another long, narrow leaf. Everyone is faltering, unable to withstand the storm.
So this is another movie that will eventually be dried by time. When the audience is still hurriedly picking up the hats blown off by the gale, there are only dry and cracked bones left.

    Nice historical conspiracy theory. It's just that literature and drama are mixed with politics. It's not that Shakespeare valued the power of literature and drama, but that this argument made Shakespeare a fool. Unless he is really a powerful person, only the powerful will take these things seriously, just like the film is still strictly guarded. Then again, it seems that the argument is still valid. Costumes, scenes, old London in CG, excellent.

Anonymous quotes

  • Ben Jonson: Politics? My play has nothing to do with politics. I-i-i-it's just a simple comedy.

    Earl of Oxford: It showed your betters as fools who'd go through life barely managing to get food from plate to mouth were it not for the cleverness of their servants. All art is political, Jonson, otherwise it would just be decoration. And all artists have something to say, otherwise they'd make shoes. And you are not a cobbler, are you Jonson.

  • Young Earl of Oxford: [after sword gets knocked into young Robert Cecil's chess game] You were losing anyway.

    Boy Robert Cecil: [had been playing alone] I was also winning!

    Young Earl of Oxford: [tosses a piece back at Robert, who misses it] Really?
