Goya's "Spirit"

I didn't see Goya's "spirit", but read a piece of Spanish history.
A less successful movie with a successful ending.
Darkness and heaviness are the strongest perceptions. The half-crazy Ines, holding the hand of Lorenzo's corpse lying on the cart, smiled and walked away, behind him was the cheerful music of the children, the so-called sadness, but that's all.
Director Milos Foreman's father, a Jewish man, died in a concentration camp during World War II along with his Puritan mother. Therefore, in this film, the wisdom and helplessness of the Jewish people are well represented, although it is only the "periphery" of the theme of the film. Milos' "Mozart" is even better.

    It is rare that Natalia sacrificed to act, and the story was smeared darkly by reality. People who are interested in Goya's paintings seem to be able to see what they think of.

Goya's Ghosts quotes

  • 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.

  • 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?
