Director, what are you doing?

The narrative of this film is unclear~~~
the psychological changes of the painter ~ the tragic fate of the heroine ~ the turmoil of Spanish politics ~ the hypocrisy of priests and religion ~ the contradiction between the ideas of the French Revolution and aggression ~ there is no line that speaks clearly to the point .
Director, since you put Goya's sketches before and after the film, I guess you want to talk about the ugliness of human nature, but what level of organization are you? You put all the messes together without layers and you didn't tap into the inner world of the characters. In the end, let the daughter happily watch the tragic effect in the comedy of the priest's death, and you didn't bring out the tragic effect at all~~~ Looking at
it, those scenes of abuse and beheading made me feel disgusted and not shocked inside. , and there is not enough foreshadowing to make me feel that the disgust comes from the ugliness of people, so I have absolutely no idea what you are going to shoot?
Goya is such a great painter. Linda only touched my tears with just a few touching strokes. Director, you spent more than an hour and it didn't hurt or itchy. I don't understand Natalie's nakedness. What is the sacrifice for?
There is the most unbearable, American English, British English, Spanish mixed together, nondescript. If you want to divide the upper and lower classes, please also speak French, okay? Although everyone in Fridari also speaks English with a strong Spanish taste, at least they are uniform and full of exotic flavors. Director, you're just piecing together and making this film very rustic. Please, ugliness is not a mess. You see, Baudelaire can express ugliness directly to the heart, but what about you? The narrative is not good, the characters and psychological portrayal are not good, is there a soundtrack? The rhythm can't be grasped, so you can at least shoot in line with the imagination of the American exotic, and the result is a mess.
The only bright spot is that Natalie Boardman's brothers are pretty good-looking, as well as Goya's apprentice.

Goya's Ghosts quotes

  • Tomás Bilbatúa: Forgive me, Father Lorenzo, but um, have you ever been put to the... to the Question, yourself?

    Brother Lorenzo: Have I ever been?

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Yes. Have you ever been subjected to the Question?

    Brother Lorenzo: Of course not.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Do you think that if you were, and they asked you to confess something grotesquely absurd... say... say you were told to confess that you're really a monkey.

    [laughter around the table]

    Tomás Bilbatúa: You're sure that god would grant you the fortitude to deny it? Or would you rather confess to being a monkey? To avoid the pain.

    Goya: I know I would.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: I know you would. So would I.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: [to Lorenzo] Would you?

    Goya: What is this Tomás, are you playing some sort of silly game with you guest? Nobody would ever ask Father Lorenzo to confess something so absurd.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: I would.

    [leaves the table]

  • Tomás Bilbatúa: [reading from a freshly prepared document] I, Lorenzo Casamares, hereby confess, that contrary to my human appearance, I am in fact, the bastard son of a chimpanzee and an orangutan, and I have schemed to join the church, in order to do harm to the holy office.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: [places the parchment and quill in front of Lorenzo, then sits down] Sign it.
