Find out the truth at http://anonymous-movie.com/

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Sigmund Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. Anonymous poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles lusting for the power of the throne were brought to light in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.

  • So it's a movie based on a disproven conspiracy theory about a guy who died over 300 years ago? Meh.

  • @MountainMusicMomma But Shakespeare was no mere "commoner" Remember????It's not impressive for you.

  • @MountainMusicMomma Shakespeare wasn't educated, how can someone not educated, who had parent's who were illiterate, and children who were illiterate, be literate??? Answer that please. He didn't even go to school. He had no extensive library to use for his works, he had no first drafts of his work AT ALL. I'm not denying that, of course there was, a Shakespeare, and I'm sure people THOUGHT he wrote his plays. That doesn't prove he did. He may have been a deceiver.

  • @MountainMusicMomma That's your fault. I am skeptical about it, and I have every reason to be. You don't have hard undeniable evidence that proves Shakespeare's authorship.

  • @MountainMusicMomma Its not good enough, because with all that we have to presuppose he wrote them. And you have nothing, because unless you were there to see him write them you don't know do you??? Nope. Therefor my reasonable doubt is valid. I could care less what you say it is, that doesn't prove anything. I'm not saying he didn't, I'm questioning it.

  • @MountainMusicMomma Yes, you did, you stated there was no HARD evidence. It seems that someone has removed that comment and others, could it have been you because they would have proved I was right??? I'm not saying it's not valid, I'm saying it's not strong. I have not changed the goal posts. But those facts don't prove anything, they don't prove he wrote them. No, I'm asking what evidence is there that he wrote them?? No, you haven't proven that he wrote them, you even contradicted yourself.

  • @Christistruth1 And a youtube video being your pièce de résistance doesn't help your cause. For one thing, not very many original manuscripts survived the 16th century, and it's not unusual to have no original records from poets and playwrights. As the clever commenter posted on your video mentioned, we have no records of letters written from any other commoners either. Either way, the theories from a crappy director who is obviously not well informed is not very impressive.

  • @Christistruth1 That wrote Shakespeare was not classically trained, like the Shakespeare of your own historical evidence was not, and that how awful his works were in the beginning suggest that the person who wrote the plays started off as not being terribly talented. What I'm saying is, there's evidence that there was a Shakespeare who was seen by his contemporaries as a writer. It is in your hands now to give evidence as to your own suggestion that he may have been a deceiver.

  • @Christistruth1 a different feel from your first post, and suggest that, I guess, you will remain I guess... agnostic? about the Shakespeare authorship question. That you are merely leaving the room for doubt. And so, now, our arguments is about if there's room for doubt, I suppose, not that I have no proof? And you're obviously not understanding my arguments. I said his first works were not great, and that he made classical blunders, to suggest to you that we have evidence that the Shakespeare

  • @Christistruth1 You suddenly say, well this is not good enough! Unless you were there to see whether he wrote his plays, then you have nothing. I can say the exact same thing to you: Unless you were there to see some insane conspiracy, then you have nothing. But, I don't. However, I still say that the evidence you have given is faulty evidence, and I don't require the same impossibility from you. Now you say that you're not trying to prove Shakespeare didn't write his plays, which is quite...
