Anonymous: Immortality - The Soul of the Age

The feather pen draws smooth handwriting on the page, and the ink drenches the legend of an era.

Word by word, joy, anger, sadness, joy, generosity, wit, treacherous, hesitant... He lives and dies with words.

People who always feel that they love drama so much that a child is living in their hearts and they live in a world built by themselves. This small world is like a magic lake, reflecting the incomparable real weirdness in every era. The sentence "You are the soul of the age" at the end of the play is probably the best footnote of Edward's life in the movie.

As Ben said to the short-sighted lady [you, your family, even me, and even Queen Elizabeth herself, the only reason that will be remembered for future generations is that we are fortunate enough to live in an era when your husband scribbled on paper.

Those words still reverberate in many corners of the world. The body may die and rot, but the words and emotions remain in the world forever.

    It's a matter of opinion, but it's a typical Shakespearean tragic story.

    It's really well done. This kind of subject matter that goes against history/offends fans can be filmed so touchingly. The director's skill should not be underestimated. Many scenes are worth savoring, especially many vistas are beautiful. The props and costumes are very flavorful, the psychological deliberation of the characters is very delicate, and the story itself is also exciting. But how many people would believe that Shakespeare was a villain who stole the fruits of others? At least I was a little shaken after reading it.

    Ben Jonson: You. Cannot. Play Romeo.

    William Shakespeare: What! Why not? I'm perfect for the role. I'm perfect! I will not let that oaf Spencer have another go at one of my roles. No! Only Will Shakespeare can pump the life into Romeo's veins!... And his codpiece.

  • 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.
