Anonymous (#13)

   This is a trailer for the new movie, Anonymous, which is set to be released on September 30th, 2011. The beginning of the trailer establishes one of the places that the story will take place. It then cuts to a man walking down a hallway; later showing him standing in the middle of a stage in an auditorium. The man starts addressing the audience. His speech about the most famous author in the world: William Shakespeare. He lists the literary accomplishments Shakespeare has reached, but he states something that changes the whole initial reasoning for his lecture. The proposes the questions of, what is Shakespeare never wrote a single thing? After this, it shows clips of presumably the 1500's, letting the audience know that this movie will be taking a different approach to the conspiracy theory than other movies like National Treasure and The DaVinci Code. 
   I believe that this trailer reflects on society in that it doesn't just accept things for what they are. People would rather add mystery and intrigue to things to make them more interesting and appealing. It's fine to do it, but not everything in this world needs to have a conspiracy theory attached to it. 
   I find this trailer inspiring because it does play on what people find interesting. Most people know of Shakespeare, but can't be bothered to read or get to really understand his works because it's too complicated or boring. Making a period piece with a conspiracy theory about Shakespeare is a great idea because it can reunite the old with the new and get people interested something other than Twilight.
