How to compare Shakespeare's The True Story with the movie Who Is Who?
Just like I compare fairy tales to history books.

It is not only worthless to say that Shakespeare's plays were written by the Earl of Oxford or someone else, but also convincing that the film is based on the most absurd and abnormal theory of all anti-Stratford theories.

This theory is called Tudor Rose Theory or Tudor Prince Rose Theory, and it exists in various forms. It was originally used to flatter Francis Bacon's claim that he wrote Shakespeare's classic works. The Oxford version pushes this statement to a new height, saying that 17 edward de vere, the Earl of Oxford, is not only the illegitimate child of Elizabeth I, but also the father of her other illegitimate child, Henry Walter Risley, the third Earl of Southampton. To be fair, traditional Oxford people do not agree with this theory.

Needless to say, this is absolutely untrue. In fact, it is obviously wrong. At that time, there were rumors that young Elizabeth was conceived by her guardian Thomas Seymour, and Oxford could not be her child. Elizabeth left Seymour's home on May 1548. 1549 In June, Seymour was arrested for attempting to kidnap the young king of England, Edward VI of England, and was executed in March 1549. In the next few months, Elizabeth was actually under house arrest under the supervision of Sir Robert Ti Park Jung-soo. Tilly whittle is convinced that Elizabeth is involved in Seymour's plot and keeps a close eye on her.

Oxford was born in April 1550. So unless Elizabeth has elephant blood, she can't be the mother of Oxford. There is no evidence that Elizabeth is pregnant.

However, Anonymous director roland emmerich and screenwriter John orlov don't need any stinking evidence. A book is needed to try to record the inaccuracy and absurdity of this film. Now I can accept artistic randomness, but at least you have to get some historical accuracy, especially when you present the film as an alternative history. "Anonymous" did not make even the most superficial attempt to conform to the historical record.

It is a mystery how emmerich thinks this absurd film will promote the cause of Oxford University. To be clear, edward de vere is one of the worst candidates. He is a bohemian, spoiled and alcoholic aristocrat, and at best he is just a mediocre amateur. Oh, yes, he died nine years before Shakespeare wrote his last play.
