"Anonymous" Anonymous staged, I told my friends to go and see how they slandered Shakespeare. After watching the movie, I realized that they not only slandered Shakespeare, but also slandered Queen Elizabeth of England. Who is that? That's not Queen Elizabeth II, the do-it-yourself Queen of today's declining Britain. Before the old Sha, that was the first monarch in British history - Elizabeth I. Britain has dominated the world since she began. Columbia Pictures of the United States really dares to change people. Through the mouth of a favorite, the Queen of England is described as a girl who has slipped. It's not enough to say that she gave birth to a son at the age of sixteen. She also said that she had a good relationship with this illegitimate child and gave birth to another son. Even if the ignorant is innocent, it is a punishment! To the Queen, this youngest son is both her son and her grandson. To the eldest son, the younger son is both his son and his younger brother. The film stumbles that this unlucky thief is the real author of Shakespeare's great works. That is to slander the United Kingdom, anyway, the United Kingdom and the United States are connected to each other. If they slandered China so badly and badly changed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sima Qian, then the third world war would not have broken out? But I knew it was a slander and made up a story. When I was watching the movie, I really let them go around it. The loopholes I knew were all blocked by them. I have to admire the screenwriter and director, this fake play is like the real thing. Movies are the art of making fakes come true. The director of this film, didn't he also direct a catastrophe film "2012" two years ago? Whether the end of the earth predicted by the Mayans is true or not, we will find out next year. But were those plays written by Shakespeare? This matter, the older it gets, the more unclear it becomes.
How to say this? Let me tell you this, when Shakespeare was alive, no one doubted that he did not write the thirty-seven plays, the one hundred and fifty-four Shang Lai poems and the two long poems. Not only that, but no one doubted him for more than 150 years after his death. It wasn't until he became widely regarded as Britain's greatest writer that anyone started talking about Shakespeare's copyright. That is really a snobby suspicion. Look at their so-called reasons: Sha Xiaozi has never attended any school, so it is impossible to cite so many allusions, and it is impossible to know so many historical events; Sha youth has never seen the royal palace nobles. , it is impossible to understand their speech and style; Mr. Sha's signature is like a ghost's talisman, not like the handwriting of a great writer; the girl of the Sha family is illiterate, and there is one who can't even sign, the daughter of a great writer can't be so ignorant Upbringing; Shakespeare's writing was not documented, he left no manuscripts, no calligraphy, and nothing about his family.
The person said, those works were not written by Shakespeare, who is it? Oh, there are different opinions. There are more than 70 candidates, each with their own reasons: some kill people and have to remain anonymous; some become spies and live abroad for many years; Identity cannot be revealed. All in all, they are all highly educated masters, but there is something unspeakable. As a last resort, they gave up the copyright to this prosperous Shazi, who made Shuzi famous. This movie is even more sinister, mixing the intrigue of the succession to the throne with Shakespeare's theatrical performance. Flashback once a while, that mess. If you are not familiar with that period of British history, you may not understand it. Let me give you a hint. The one who first appeared and was hunted was Ben Jonson, who later became a great writer. Why arrest him and torture him? The film flashes back to Edward, Earl of Oxford, who gave him a wonderful play he had written and asked him to give it to a troupe in his name. Ben Jonson is quite upright, and he doesn't want to do this kind of fame and fortune. As a result, a ruffian named Shakespeare took a bargain and pretended to be the author. Since then, plays written by Edward have been staged in Shakespeare's name.
The Earl of Oxford refused to let the audience know that he was the author of the play, not only because he could not reveal his aristocratic status, but also because his play satirized the Queen's favorite minister on stage, and tried to incite the audience to come to the Qing Dynasty. Use the drama to recall his old relationship with the queen, more because he can't let the incest thing come out. At this time, the queen was already very old, and the succession to the throne was an urgent issue. The old lady still has a little tenderness in her heart, and the movie often flashes back to her youthful association with Edward. Don't marvel at how similar the old lady and the girl look, it's not the makeup artist's fault, they are played by mother and daughter. Edward Earl of Oxford's youth and his prime are played by the same person, who is vigorous in his youth and calm and restrained in his prime. That aristocratic demeanor, those deep eyes, really had nothing to say. The actor's name is weird - Rhys Ifans, I've never heard of this kid. His virtuosity is astonishing, and it is believed that the man who wrote Shakespeare's masterpieces should be Edward, Earl of Oxford.
But don't be convinced, scholars who study Shakespeare agree that those immortal masterpieces were written by such a hillbilly. According to British law, Shazi must have attended primary school. Their local primary school teacher is a top graduate from Oxford University. In those years, they learned nothing but grammar, rhetoric, Latin, Greek, and history. Ben Jonson said that Sara "doesn't know much in Latin, and even less in Greek," and that depends on who she compares to. Compared with the talented university writers of his generation, Lao Sha is a little bit worse, but compared with today's classical literature professors, he is not bad at all. At least people can read the original classics. However, it is precisely because he is not good at classical literature that he has some mistakes when citing scriptures. Marlowe and other university talents will not make such mistakes. But Shakespeare's talent is not there. His use of language, from vulgar to elegant, includes refurbishing many common sayings and proverbs, that life, that liveliness, those aristocrats and college wits can't write. Shakespeare's genius lies in his insight into life, his understanding of human nature, his familiarity with human affairs, his calm observation of the world, and his enthusiastic concern for history; Doing whatever you want lies in his ingenious workmanship in shaping his character and in his ability to reveal his psychology at his fingertips. None of this can be learned in the classroom, but by genius. His talent is different from those of the talented playwrights in college. He never followed the ancient Greek and Roman writers, and wrote scripts in accordance with the rules and regulations. Instead, he was bold and innovative, just like his Shang Lai poems, he did not follow the same steps. He learned from Petrarch and Spencer, but created his own Shakespearean style.
Besides, Shakespeare's contemporaries were not like us today, who were locked up in their own homes and offices all day long and never communicated with each other. People often drink and chat together, discuss art and politics. At that time, no one doubted that it was Lao Sha who wrote the scripts, whether it was his buddies or his opponents, but many people mentioned his creation. Ben Jonson, who later became the first Poet Laureate in British history, was the unlucky guy in the movie. He and Lao Sha were both rivals and friends. more time. After all, people are famous first, and they are the shareholders of the theater. They are also big money among those guys who are engaged in art. And, seven years after Shakespeare's death, this Ben Jonson got itchy -- where did the seven-year itch start from -- he wrote a long poem in memory of Shakespeare. By the way, the widely quoted saying that Lao Sha "doesn't know much Latin, and even less Greek" is from that poem. But that's a foil. If you read the whole poem once—it's too long for me to cite, I'll just transcribe it for you—you'll know how he praised Shakespeare. Ouch, that's simply old and modern, just old Sha! The masters of ancient Greece and ancient Rome that they imitated were all swept away. While watching the movie, I pondered, the screenwriter and director must not have known this long poem, which was the first text commentary that established Shakespeare's literary status. You say that Ben Jonson knows the truth, and that he and Shakespeare are mortal enemies, I'll see how you explain how he wrote this poem so emotionally. Hey! The movie stunned that Edward, Earl of Oxford, told him to never reveal this secret. Look at this hole, it fits perfectly.
This hole is blocked, and there are many other holes. Ben Jonson wasn't the only one who knew Lao Sha. Even if he put Shakespeare in front of him when he published those plays, hiding it for Edward. But such a big secret, no one in the world questioned it? When my brother was studying in the UK, he studied Shakespeare's poems about business. The first 126 capitals were dedicated to his benefactor, a handsome young man. Oh, look at him praising him like a god. Continue to persuade him to get married, so that his beauty and intelligence will be passed on to the next generation, forever. The author and his benefactor also had a little awkwardness because the handsome guy flirted with the author's girlfriend, and they got back together. This intimacy has led some critics to make a big fuss about Lao Sha's habit of breaking her sleeves. If the author of those commercial poems is Edward Earl of Oxford, does he need a benefactor? He's almost as good as someone else's benefactor. Moreover, from 1987 to 2010, several scholars who doubted Shakespeare's copyright carried out a detailed stylistic analysis of the works under his name by computer, and compared them with the extant works of thirty-seven possible authors, including Letters from Sir Edward. And guess what? Shakespeare's writing style is self-contained, and the terminology of several Shakespeare plays performed after Sir Edward's death has changed as the stage equipment has changed. So those plays could not have been written by Edward. These skeptics finally changed their minds and fell at the feet of Shakespeare.
Of course, these things, the narrator in the movie will not tell you. Movies are art, they are entertainment, they don't always show the truth. As long as it can justify itself and make you feel flawless and believe it when you watch the film, that's fine. When the boredom is relieved, happy, and work together. Don't be sullen all day long, like Plato, to drive art out of his ideal country. It's not like protesting for a movie, or fighting a world war or something. Who made Shakespeare and Elizabeth I so famous? Isn't it enough to make working people around the world happy?

the attached book is Joan's long poem "In Memory of Shakespeare"
To the Memory of My Beloved the Author, Mr. William Shakespeare and What He Hath Left Us
by Ben Jonson in the First Folio, 1623
To draw no envy, Shakespeare, on thy name,
Am I thus ample to thy book and fame;
While I confess thy writings to be such
As neither man nor Muse can praise too much.
'Tis true, and all men's suffrage. But these ways
Were not the paths I meant unto thy praise;
For seeliest Ignorance on these may light,
Which, when it sounds at best, but echoes right;
Or blind Affection, which doth ne'er advance
The truth, but gropes and urgeth all by chance;
Or crafty Malice might pretend this praise,
And think to ruin where it seem'd to raise.
These are as some infamous bawd or whore
Should praise a matron. What could hurt her more?
But thou art proof against them, and, indeed,
Above the ill-fortune of them, or the need.
I, therefore, will begin. Soul of the age!
The applause, delight, the wonder of our stage,
My Shakespeare, rise ! I will not lodge thee by
Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie
A little further, to make thee a room:
Thou art a monument without a tomb,
And art alive still, while thy book doth live,
And we have wits to read, and praise to give.
That I not mix thee so, my brain excuses;
I mean, with great but disproportion'd Muses.
For, if I thought my judgment were of years,
I should commit thee, surely, with thy peers .
And tell how far thou didst our Lyly outshine,
Or sporting Kyd, or Marlowe's mighty line.
And though thou hadst small Latin and less Greek,
From thence, to honour thee, I would not seek
For names; but call forth thund'ring Aeschylus,
Euripides, and Sophocles to us,
Paccuvius, Accius, him of Cordova dead
To life again, to hear thy buskin tread
And shake a stage; or when thy socks were on,
Leave thee alone, for the comparison
Of all that insolent Greece or haughty Rome
Sent forth; or since did from their ashes come.
Triumph, my Britain! Thou hast one to show
To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe.
He was not of an age, but for all time!
And all the Muses still were in their prime,
When, like Apollo, he came forth to warm
Our ears, or, like a Mercury, to charm.
Nature herself was proud of his designs,
And joy'd to wear the dressing of his lines,
Which were so richly spun, and woven so fit
As, since, she will vouchsafe no other wit.
The merry Greek, tart Aristophanes,
Neat Terence, witty Plautus, now not please;
But antiquated and deserted lie,
As they were not of Nature's family.
Yet must I not give Nature all! Thy art,
My gentle Shakespeare, must enjoy a part.
For though the Poet's matter Nature be
His art doth give the fashion. And that he
Who casts to write a living line, must sweat
(Such as thine are), and strike the second heat
Upon the Muses' anvil, turn the same
(And himself with it), that he thinks to frame;
Or for the laurel he may gain a scorn!
For a good Poet's made as well as born;
And such wert thou! Look how the father's face
Lives in his issue; even so, the race
Of Shakespeare's mind and manners brightly shines
In his well-turnèd and true-filèd lines;
In each of which he seems to shake a lance
As brandish'd at the eyes of Ignorance.
Sweet Swan of Avon! what a sight it were
To see thee in our water yet appear,
And make those flights upon the banks of Thames
That so did take Eliza, and our James!
But stay, I see thee in the hemisphere
Advanc'd, and made a constellation there!
Shine forth, thou star of poets, and with rage
Or influence, chide, or cheer the drooping stage;
Which since thy flight from hence hath mourn'd like night,
And despairs day, but for thy volume's light.
