Milos Foreman has a strong grasp of historical biopics. "Goya's Ghosts" (Goya's Ghosts) is about the early 19th century, in the era of Spanish autocracy, the church was extremely powerful, and then, France experienced the Great Revolution, and Napoleon led an army to invade Spain. Spain was in chaos, but the Spanish people did not rise up to change their country. Instead, they drove the French back to the other side of the Pyrenees. Church power was restored again. That's the big background of the movie. His content, however, tells the story of a small person. The famous painter Goya actually thread the needle. Lorenzo is a typical manipulative manipulator, just like Zweig's "Joseph Fouche", and Elise is an ordinary woman, but she has an amazing beauty, Be the inspiration for Goya's creations. Lorenzo, dissatisfied with Goya's disturbing paintings, imprisoned Elis in the sanctuary on charges of weaving, and later raped her, causing her to give birth to a daughter in the concentration camp-like sanctuary. Elise's father, a wealthy businessman, forced Lorenzo to write a bond in order to rescue his daughter. As a result, the church not only did not release Elise, but instead pursued Lorenzo. Lowe fled to France, where he transformed himself, married and had children, and became a republican. Following the French army, he returned to Spain and became a powerful figure. The French came and the sanctuary was opened. After decades of darkness, Elise was released, and her whole body was completely distorted. When I got home, my family had all been killed. So, she went to Goya's house. Start telling her story. She only has her own daughter in her heart, and the "love" between herself and Lorenzo. However, in war-torn Spain, Elise's daughter became a street prostitute. The story continues, and at the end, the director will explain them one by one.
In the midst of the turmoil, you were caught off guard, and the invisible and huge hand of fate grabbed you, and then smashed to pieces. Some people can't figure out what's going on in life all their lives, and some people have no chance to think about it at all. Some people struggle not to remember, while others struggle to resist forgetting. I haven't had the urge to cry after watching the movie for a long time, but in the second half of the movie, there were still a few times when I couldn't help but burst into tears. Not for someone's fate, but for the fate of people.
