The movie Anonymous may seem preposterous to the die-hard fans
of Shakespeare. However, this movie made
sense to me, as no one has yet found even a single written manuscript by our
beloved Shakespeare ( as the movie claims).
In the movie Anonymous which is by the Hollywood’s famous director “Roland
Emmerich” whose other movies include
the famous “The Independence Day” and “The
day After Tomorrow” has only acted to add
fuel to the fire, to the already raging controversial matter of the true
authorship of the writings of Shakespeare.
In the movie Shakespeare is shown as a fool, a mere simpleton
who could not even write the basic alphabets of English., leave the matter of
writing so much popular plays and sonnets by him.
Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford is depicted as the true author of all the
writings of Shakespeare. Edward de Vere is the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth (borne
by her when she was just 15 years old and they call Elizabeth the Virgin Queen ha!) who makes incestuous
relation with her as he is oblivious of his motherly relation with her.
To add more spice to the movie Queen Elizabeth is shown as a weak monarch in
her older years whose authority is challenged by Essex ( her another illegitimate son) who is
to march with the Earl of Southampton
(illegitimate son of Edward de Vere and Queen Elizabeth) to the Palace,
to promote his own claim to the succession.
However both are caught due to treachery by Ben Johnson and
their heads are severed.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the whole melee of drama and you
should watch it too.
Caution : Not a movie for die hard fans of Shakespeare,
they can feel giddy watching their hero with such a deplorable intellect.
