Profile of Anonymous

The mood of Anonymous is stylized and captivating. The plot centers around political intrigue, a royal family, and conspiracies. It is a drama, period, and thriller movie. Stylistically, Anonymous includes a voice over. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, at a royal court. Anonymous is set in England. It happens in the 16th century.

Summary of Anonymous

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds ranging from Mark Twain and Charles Dickens to Henry James and Sigmund Freud, namely: who was the author of the plays 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 cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles hungry for the power of the throne were exposed in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.

Great Period Piece

There is nothing I love more than a good conspiracy theory and historical fiction. The film, Anonymous captures both. (Historical non-fiction depending on who you are asking.) Set in Elizabethan times, the film propagates (or proves) that Edward De... Read and rate it
