A squad of soldiers storms a compound in the midst of an Eastern European urban landscape. The city is torn apart, blasted to pieces by mortar rounds. Bullets fly through the air and the soldiers are hesitant to move forward, but their commander urges them on into the fray.
This doesn’t sound like a scene from a Shakespeare play, but that’s exactly what it is in Ralph Fiennes’ updated version of the lesser-known Shakespearean tragedy Coriolanus.

Was Shakespeare a fraud? No, but Anonymous, the latest film from ridiculous director Roland Emmerich decided to explore the idea anyway.
After watching this film, it is puzzling to think about who exactly it was made for. The people who know the details of Shakespeare’s works are nothing but offended by the idea of this film, especially because the film’s marketing tried to sell this idea as true.

There is not a shred of reason to believe anyone but William Shakespeare wrote the plays under his name. Yet because Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer in the English language, perhaps in the whole body of world literature, he is looked upon with suspicion and doubt. If Shakespeare’s contemporary Ben Johnson was hailed as the greatest, you can bet your life people would doubt his authorship instead.
