Roland Emmerich admired the script of the film very much. He said: "Eight years ago, I realized that this is an absolutely unique script. At that time, it was also called "The Soul of the Times". I think this is a three-story story. A film of personal stories, Ben Jonson (the most important British playwright after William Shakespeare), William Shakespeare, and the Duke of Oxford. In fact, the Duke of Oxford ghosted all the works of William Shakespeare and Jonson. I am in this script. I saw themes like "Mozart", about talent and jealousy. However, it would not be too interesting to shoot this way, so I decided to include the theme of political struggle in the film, just like William Shakespeare’s drama, which put the king , Queen, struggle, and conspiracy have all joined in. Moreover, this movie is still a tragedy. Such a story with the William Shakespeare style makes me very excited. There is a monarchy in the film, a group of ambitious villains, and There’s a story about William Shakespeare’s play. I really couldn’t wait to shoot it.” In fact, in academia, there has been no conclusion about the true authorship of the great scripts signed by William Shakespeare. The film is still being produced. During the period, there was a big discussion about the real author in the periphery. Of course, this kind of discussion may not have results, but it did contribute to the filming and publicity of the film. Emmerich said: "This is actually a story about political struggle. As for whether William Shakespeare is a writer or not, it's just a setting in the script."

Revisit the supplement. Roland Emmerich should stop wasting time making increasingly boring disaster films. Wouldn't it be good to continue making such exquisite small and medium productions? The visual level is breathtaking, the stories are wonderful, and the stories of multiple conspiracy theories are well told. Some of the plots directly echo the plots of Shakespeare's plays, and explore the origin of the classic plots. Combined with the historical records of Shakespeare's grassroots and illiterate, the views in the film become more and more similar. real. Even if the authenticity is put aside, it is still a wonderful and good story. I especially like to watch a tragic drama that justifies the name of the real author.

Is it ridiculous and slanderous like this? ? Will the descendants of Shakespeare sue the director and screenwriter to slander their 18th generation ancestors? ? ?
