Anonymous - William Shakespeare A Fraud?

Short but Compelling!!

I think this mans a bigger fraud than Enron.

I must be missing the joke here... This is like saying Mark Twain is a fraud because his real name is Samuel Clemens? What difference does it make if the author of these writings used a pen-name and that pen-name happens to also belong to someone else?

its more then meets the eye!

He was a spy and a courier pidgeon between the Britsh and Danish Monarchy ! Delivering incripted messages to the Monarchs in the upper balconies, during his plays . Alas, something is a miss in the state of Denmark !

Wow! I didn't realise ATS has now become a direct marketing channel for Columbia pictures in the guise of anonymous.

Are you serious? You think there is nothing to the story of a person that is portrayed as one thing and found out to be another. I see complete relevance to this issue. I started a thread a while back about Shakespeare possibly being Sir Francis Bacon.

Whoever he was, if he has an importance and is learned about today, yesterday, or any day, I would like to know the truth as best I can. This is what plagues us today. Excepting second hand, and trying to see the work of someone... and NOT the person.

I personally choose to see both, truthfully.

Peace, NRE.

If Shakespeare was a pseudonym someone chose it's his right no?

If he chose for whatever reason to remain hidden that choice should be protected.

This honestly looks like just a well written movie taking advantage of a controversy.
It belongs in the realm of Historical fiction.

I don't go to a well written movie to find facts.
A documentary with both sides of the issue discussed in a well articulated way would hold more weight.
Until then this seems like a great marketing ploy to draw attention to a movie.

The Spearman reveals Shakespeare's Codex to all the world, the M.O. of the front man employed for generations by the Illuminati-controlled intelligence services."
