The first time I saw this film on the resource site, I was attracted by several stills included in the introduction. What is surprising is that this film not only has a bright and beautiful appearance, but also has a sophisticated narrative, drama in the play, and flashbacks in flashbacks. Roland Emmerich has once again proved that in addition to spending money on special effects, he can also tell stories.

The suspense of who wrote Shakespeare's works in the film is fascinating in itself, and it also involves the background of Elizabeth's ruling, which makes the story intricate and beautiful. The visual performance is better than expected. Several aerial shots are not only eye-catching but also make the film look atmospheric. The unrestrained use of CG 2012 is just right.

  • 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?
