Goya's Ghosts

Goya's Ghosts

Whether it's "Sex Book Tycoon"/"The People vs. Larry Front", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", or this "Goya's Soul", Milos Foreman is explaining Foucault's theory---- Are rights a necessary tool for justice or a culprit for injustice?
The confrontation between the pornographic magazine boss and the US government in "Sex Book Tycoon", the confrontation between doctors, nurses and mental patients in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the confrontation between the Inquisition and the pro-Napoleon government represented by Father Lorenzo in "Soul of Goya" , These fables all reflect the horror of rights, telling us with their tragic endings that any form of rights, no matter how beautiful it wears a halo, is by no means a panacea to save the world, but it is precisely the destruction of human nature. A deadly poison that ultimately destroys humanity.

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.
