"Shakespeare" isn't just a name, it's a history...

- Alexandre Dumas said: "What is history, but it is a nail I use to hang novels." - History has long since left us, and what we can see today is only a part of the whole history. The historical materials we use to prove our views today may be jokes in the face of the truth of history. So "Shakespeare", while a great name, is more of a piece of history. Observing characters with such an attitude is the point of view of this movie, and I agree with it very much. ——Director, your views are too thoughtful, I like, like, like! ! ! ——Thinking Sao Nian, I hope everyone can watch this movie, not for history, not for stories, but for ideas and opinions.

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.
