Anonymous

I saw the movie "Anonymous" tonight. It is based on one of the theories about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays (in this version, they are all written by Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, although Ben Jonson is included, but Shakespeare--a drunkard of an actor--is the name on his plays). It was fun to see all these different scenes from different plays and to recognize different allusions and quotes. Although it had a few PG-13 scenes, I think that it was mostly pretty good--but again, mostly cause I just enjoyed seeing so much about the plays.
