The script, lines and performances are excellent. Although it is an American movie, it is definitely a tribute to the traditional British drama in terms of the design of the opening and closing credits.
I was very moved by the movie, although the plot is so gossip, maybe, this is what the movie says repeatedly, this is the power of words! It makes people forget to die, indulge in it, make people fully immersed in it, have no desires and no desires, life is like a play, and play is like life.
Excerpts from two passages:
First, Lord Oxford describes why he wrote "Those voices, I can't quell them, they come to me - when I'm sleeping, awake, eating, walking on the long corridor... boudoir The sweet hopes of girls, the ambitions of courtiers, the tricks of murderers, the pleas of victims... Only when I write all this on parchment, about their words, their voices, will they be liberated and Freedom. And only then can my heart be quiet and calm. If I hadn't written those voices, I'd have gone mad."
Second, Ben Jonson (Britain's first Poet Laureate) to Lord Oxford's Madam, an arrogant and ignorant noble relative, slowly transitioned from bowing to pay homage to holding her head high: Madam, it is precisely because your husband has written a book, you, your home, your family, your queen, Even in our era, it is precisely by living with him in the same era that we can live forever!
