All art is political, otherwise it's just decoration; all artists have something to say, otherwise they might as well make shoes.

Whether Shakespeare's plays were written by Shakespeare himself has always been the focus of people's attention. This film seems to have expounded on this issue, but it has also aroused the dissatisfaction of many Shakespeare fans. Guessing and interpretations from different perspectives are sometimes interesting to watch, but what I can't stand is that the screenwriter and director even let Elizabeth go, letting her have an incest with her illegitimate child without knowing it. Too bloody. There are a lot of fragments of Shakespeare's plays in the film. This is very attractive to me, as if I saw the enthusiasm of people watching plays in the 16th century and the dramatic performances at that time. If there was no incest clip, I would give it five stars, what a pity!

    There are many rumors about the real author of Shakespeare, and the film only tells the story of the internal political disputes in the court during a turbulent era through this perspective. Originally, I had no interest in this subject, but the unexpected film is much more exciting than expected. The script is very good, the director has a good grasp of the rhythm, the layers are progressive and fascinating, and the scenery and editing are also very good~
