The Anonymous suggests one possible answer, considering on a time when scandalous political schemes, unlawful romances in the Royal Court, In Elizabethan England, political intrigue abounds between the Tudors and the Cecils for the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Vanessa Redgrave), as the Essex Rebellion moves against her.

About Shooting of Anonymous:- One scene Emmerich is proud of is a helicopter shot of Elizabeth’s funeral procession as it travels along a frozen River Thames which, judging by the early images shown to Time Out, looks impressive, even if it’s not historically accurate. ‘It was born out of the fact that at one point in the story everything becomes really ice cold emotionally,’ he explains. ‘At one point I had this idea, why don’t we from a certain point on have everything frozen and snowy, and the funeral was part of that sequence. We said, “Why do we have to be historically accurate in something like that?” because it conveys what we’re trying to accomplish. It’s this frozen feeling, a person has lost everything.’ |
