Anonymous (2011)
Directed by Roland
Emmerich this film stars Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave and Joely
Richardson. During the last days of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I a
noble man seeks to influence the opinion of the public on the matter
of succession through the performance of his plays.
There is a fair amount
of controversy around the content of this film because it tries to
pass off for history what is a nearly whole departure into fantasy
land. The historical inaccuracy will no doubt drive some people
completely up the wall but if you can over look those then this is
actually a really interesting story that looks at the power of ideas.
It helps that there are some good performances and the film looks
really good as well but despite all this you may well always find
yourself distracted by inaccuracies.
3/5
