This movie is pure shit made by a bunch of egomaniacs who believe in the delusion of genius without a database. These people, director included, are a pretty insulting collection of individuals.

@walshwork There's no argument about it. Even geniuses need raw data to work with. Shakspear didn't have any.
-
What folks know, but always leave out of the argument, is that Shakespeare was a genius. Not using that word lightly. His father was a glove maker. True. Einstein's parents were middle class and he worked at the Patent office. How can one man have written these plays with the insight and depth and humor and pathos they contain? How do you explain his plays? Genius. It is rare but does exist. Shakespeare.

David Thewlis at 00:14 haha!

Having just waded through Anderson's Big Book of Circumstantial Fantasy and Shoddy Logic, "Shakespeare By Another Name", I'll say I'm comfortable with my knowledge of De Vere and his life. There are serious problems with the theory that Oxfordians seem to blithely ignore and dating *is* an issue. One third of the cannon must be moved from the earliest evidence/mention we have in order to accommodate the theory... statistically speaking, damned unlikely. And: How did they get to the stage?

@searchjedi Alot of bluster for someone who knows little or nothing about Edward de Vere~~~ I wonder why de Vere's relatives were the dedicatees of the 1st folio? Or that deVere's father in law is parodied as Polonius according to strict Stratfordians~~~~ PS: there is no exact dating of the plays. They've dated them so late in order to fit into the time frame of someone 14 years younger than the true author. That, sir, is called circular thinking. Ur-Hamlet? no copies exist.

This is gold.

utter nitwittery and tin foil hat conspiratorial clap trap. Any currently proposed candidate outside the glover's son requires a complete overhaul of the dating of the plays. Mathematically speaking... unlikely at best. From a debate standpoint, a series of arguments from silence. Show motive, opportunity, and means... then support it with hard evidence for each... or this is simply an Xfiles episode dressed in academic gowns and ruffs.
Mark Rylance is amazing <3

Mark Rylance and Shakespeare all the way! Absolutely loved his portrayal of Richard II in the Globe a few years back. Strangebrooch has uploaded videos from it. -Check it out:)
Looking forward to seeing Rhys Ifans in the part of de Vere.
