What I don't understand the most about this movie is the meaning of Goya in the play. ? And why the name is Goya's Soul? Maybe it's because my artistic cultivation is not enough, and I don't understand it well.

The human nature reflected in this film is really thorough, priest and daughter

But the girl behind it is really distressing

My deepest impression and favorite point in the whole play was the scene where the girl's father asked the priest to also accept the divine news and sign it. Really, I actually cried, maybe it's really moved by a father's love for his daughter, anger wants you to feel the same, the most direct expression. Really really touched me, this daddy is my ideal type now. Too hardcore.

Goya's Ghosts quotes

  • Inés: [model pointing at defaced portrait] Why doesn't that painting have a face?

    Goya: Because he is a ghost.

    Inés: No, he is not.

    Goya: Have you ever seen a ghost?

    Inés: No. But I have seen a witch.

    Goya: Oh, did you?

    Inés: Yes, but she had a face.

    Goya: So what did she look like?

    Inés: She was... all bent and creepy, and she...

    [whispers:]

    Inés: stank.

    [makes disparaging sound]

    Goya: That's interesting, because the witch that I know, she's... she's young, very lovely, and she smells of jasmine.

    Inés: [smiles] She does?

    Goya: She does. And I'm working on her portrait... right now.

    Inés: [smiles as it dawns on her what he means] I'm no witch!

    Goya: [chuckles] How do you know?

  • Tomás Bilbatúa: [worried father, to his young daughter] You have received a summons from the Holy Office.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Where did you go with your brothers last night?

    Tomás Bilbatúa: [to his two sons] Was there an incident or something they could hold against her?

    Álvaro Bilbatúa: She kissed the feet of a dwarf.

    [Inés sticks her tongue out at him]

    Álvaro Bilbatúa: She did.

    [his mother scoffs]
